# γ Close-out — Cycle #394

**Date:** 2026-05-21
**Issue:** [#394](https://github.com/usurobor/cnos/issues/394) — Sub 2 (#376): bootstrap cnos.cdr package skeleton
**Branch:** `cycle/394`
**γ identity:** gamma / gamma@cdd.cnos
**Outcome:** R1 APPROVE; 6/6 ACs PASS; merged to main.

---

## §1 Triage

- **Round count:** R1. No fix-round.
- **AC outcomes:** 6/6 PASS (mechanical oracles).
- **Findings:** 2 (F1, F2) — both observational, no immediate patch. Recorded in `cdd-iteration.md`.
- **Scope adherence:** Sub 2 deliverables only. CDR.md unchanged. No role-overlay or empirical-anchor authoring. No new content classes. No new commands. No runtime dependencies.

## §2 Post-merge cross-references

To be filled post-merge:
- `cycle/394` HEAD SHA: `[γ fills]`
- merge commit SHA on main: `[γ fills]`
- `Closes #394` confirmed in merge commit: `[γ fills]`

## §3 cnos#376 close-out comment plan

Post a comment on cnos#376 confirming Sub 2 ships. Content shape:

> **Sub 2 (#394) shipped.** cnos.cdr is now a loadable cnos package.
>
> Shipped:
> - `src/packages/cnos.cdr/cn.package.json` — `cn.package.v1` schema; `name: cnos.cdr`; `version: 0.1.0`; `kind: package`; `engines.cnos: ">=3.81.0"`.
> - `src/packages/cnos.cdr/README.md` — package overview cross-referencing CDR.md as primary doctrine.
> - `src/packages/cnos.cdr/skills/cdr/SKILL.md` — loader skill with standard frontmatter; names CDR.md + forthcoming Sub 3 role overlays in `calls:`.
>
> Discovery verified: `cn build --check` recognises cnos.cdr (`✓ cnos.cdr: valid`).
>
> Cross-references:
> - Sub 1 (#390) — `skills/cdr/CDR.md` is the package's primary doctrine surface; unchanged in this cycle.
> - Sub 3 — role overlays at `skills/cdr/{alpha,beta,gamma,delta,epsilon}/SKILL.md` are named in the loader's `calls:` as forthcoming.
> - Sub 4 — empirical-anchor mapping doc is forthcoming; cnos.cdr/README.md cites cph by URL without embedding mapping prose.
>
> Subs 3 and 4 can dispatch in parallel against cnos.cdr as a stable package target. The v0.1 skeleton is the dispatch base.
>
> AC1-AC6 PASS. β-α collapse acknowledged (engineering-class docs cycle, mechanical AC oracles). β-review: `.cdd/unreleased/394/beta-review.md`. Cycle artifacts: `.cdd/unreleased/394/`.

## §4 INDEX update

`.cdd/iterations/INDEX.md` gets a new row appended:

```
| 394 | #394 | 2026-05-21 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | .cdd/unreleased/394/cdd-iteration.md |
```

Findings: 2 (both observational, forward-looking). Patches: 0 immediate. MCAs: 0 (neither finding rises to MCA threshold — both are noted-and-deferred class). No-patch: 2 (both findings are recorded without an immediate patch plan because they are forward-looking, contingent on Sub 3 / future loader-strictness decisions).

## §5 Branch cleanup

Per cycle 389/390/392 precedent, branch deletion via `gh api -X DELETE` typically fails with 403 (the repo's permission model). Note the failure; do not attempt force-delete; the stale branch is harmless.

## §6 Next-cycle context

Cycle 394 ships the cnos.cdr package skeleton. The next dispatches in the cnos#376 wave are:
- **Sub 3** — role overlays. Dispatches against cnos.cdr/skills/cdr/SKILL.md's `calls:` list. Authors five new files: `alpha/SKILL.md` ... `epsilon/SKILL.md`. May also add CDR-specific lifecycle skills (wave-open, wave-close) if Sub 3 determines they are needed (decision-deferred).
- **Sub 4** — empirical-anchor doc. Maps cph's `.cdr/` artifacts to CDR.md's six-field structure. Authors `skills/cdr/EMPIRICAL-ANCHOR.md` (or similar) under cnos.cdr/. Updates cnos.cdr/README.md to cross-reference the new file.

Both subs can dispatch in parallel; neither blocks the other.

## §7 Deferred outputs

- **Cycle-dir move.** `.cdd/unreleased/394/` → `.cdd/releases/<version>/394/` at next release per `release/SKILL.md §2.5a`. Not blocking.
- **cnos#376 close-out comment** — to be posted post-merge (see §3 above).
