# cdd-iteration — Cycle 422 (courtesy empty-findings stub)

**Cycle:** [cnos#422](https://github.com/usurobor/cnos/issues/422) — Release-hygiene v3.82.0 (CCNF package-architecture baseline)
**Date:** 2026-05-23
**Mode:** docs-only / release-hygiene
**Authority:** `cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/receipt-stream/SKILL.md` (canonical home of cdd-iteration shape; per-finding shape; cadence rule; INDEX row format).

## §0 Findings

`protocol_gap_count: 0`. No binding findings; no MCAs; no patches; no no-patch dispositions. Cycle closes cleanly.

One **non-binding observation** is named in `self-coherence.md` and `alpha-closeout.md` for ε awareness (stale "Pending Subs 3–5" / "v0.1 caveat" wording in `cnos.cds/skills/cds/SKILL.md`); the observation does not require ε protocol-patch action because (a) the cycle's hard rule AC10 prohibits skill edits, (b) the loader's `Conflict rule` declares `CDS.md` governs in any conflict so there is no operational confusion at load time, and (c) it is named as a Known Issue in `.cdd/releases/3.82.0/RELEASE.md` for a post-v0.1 follow-up cycle. The observation is a forward-looking note, not a protocol gap.

## §1 Trigger assessment (per ε §1 / receipt-stream cadence rules)

- **Review churn:** R1 APPROVED on first pass; no fix rounds. **No trigger fired.**
- **Mechanical overload:** docs-only release-hygiene cycle; mechanical ratio not applicable. **No trigger fired.**
- **Avoidable tooling / environment failure:** none. The prior-cycle stall risk (cycle/420 β→γ transition; flagged in the dispatch brief and reproduced in cycle/421's clean three-commit shape) did not recur — γ scaffold filed first (`f2ae42ed`), α work landed in one batched commit (`4e497d9f`), β review + closeouts will batch into a third commit, push clean. **No trigger fired.**
- **Loaded skill failed to prevent a finding:** no findings surfaced; nothing to attribute. The `cdd/release` skill (loaded for D5 per the dispatch brief) successfully constrained the RELEASE.md authoring to the canonical §2.5 format. **No trigger fired.**

## §2 Trigger conclusion

Per cycle/401's courtesy convention (canonical at `cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/receipt-stream/SKILL.md`), this stub is the receipt-stream entry for cycle 422 — confirming that no protocol gaps surfaced during the v3.82.0 release-hygiene cycle. The cycle exercised the dispatch surface from `cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md` (operator-as-γ → α/β/γ collapsed on δ); the implementation contract held; no `gamma-clarification.md` triggered; the artifact channel discipline (per-role write ownership, sequential α→β→γ on three commits) held; the release-artifact authoring contract from `cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/release/SKILL.md` produced a well-formed RELEASE.md at the canonical path.

## §3 Wave + release context

This cycle is the **release boundary** for v3.82.0 = CCNF package-architecture baseline. With this cycle merged + tagged:

- The four-package architecture (CDD kernel + CDS v0.1 + CDR v0.1 + cnos.handoff v0.1) is the citable v3.82.0 baseline.
- Cycles 420 (Sub 6 of #404), 421 (Track A1 of #405), and 422 (this release-hygiene cycle) get absorbed into the v3.82.0 release per `release/SKILL.md §2.5a` (operator-side cleanup; the three `.cdd/unreleased/{420,421,422}/` directories move to `.cdd/releases/3.82.0/{420,421,422}/`).
- The CCNF-O + TSC steering roadmap (#405) remains open but is **deliberately not dispatched**. The Stop condition in `.cdd/releases/3.82.0/RELEASE.md` names this as the structural intent.
- The next phase is field application of CDS/CDR + memory-return testing of cnos.handoff; the protocol-evolution thread pauses.

The wave-execution pattern from cycles/415–421 (file tracker; file subs sequentially or in parallel; dispatch via worktree-isolated agents; merge each with Closes keyword) is preserved through cycle 422 and held for the operator-side post-merge tag-push.
