# γ Close-out — #367

## Cycle Summary

**Issue:** #367 — Design CDD contract/receipt validation surface
**Parent:** #366 (Phase 1 of coherence-cell executability roadmap)
**Gap:** Five Open Questions from #364 unresolved; parent-facing validation interface unspecified. Phases 2–7 blocked.
**Fix:** `RECEIPT-VALIDATION.md` (632L) — resolves Q1–Q5, freezes validation interface at doctrine level.
**Result:** All 9 ACs met. β APPROVED R1, zero findings. Merged at `37ac1c75`.

## Dispatch Record

| Role | Sessions | Outcome | Notes |
|------|----------|---------|-------|
| γ | 1 | scaffold + prompts committed (`22ca5832`) | Clean; referenced issue body as contract, 8 failure modes flagged |
| α | 1 | 8 commits, 632L design doc, review-ready | SIGTERM'd before self-coherence; δ recovery (`724e061b`) |
| β | 1 | R1 APPROVE, zero findings, merged | Clean; close-out on cycle branch, cherry-picked to main |
| α close-out | 1 | `1216d270` on main | Clean |
| γ close-out | 0 | This file (δ-authored) | Skipped γ dispatch to avoid repeated SIGTERM pattern |

**Configuration:** §5.1 multi-session via `claude -p`. δ dispatched sequentially.

## Close-out Triage

### Findings

No β findings raised (zero findings R1). α F1 (SIGTERM recovery) is a dispatch-class observation, not a protocol gap.

### Process observations from β close-out

- Verdict/decision distinction anchored at four textual points — structural resistance to downstream fusion
- Three independent "what this does not commit to" surfaces resist implementation drift
- γ-scaffold failure-modes list operated as authoring checklist, not just review checklist
- α's incremental commit discipline made SIGTERM recovery cheap (evidence-wrapper class)

## Deferred Outputs

Per §Closure phase-inheritance map in RECEIPT-VALIDATION.md (lines 624–630):

| Phase | Target | Inherits from #367 |
|-------|--------|--------------------|
| 2 | `receipt.cue` + `contract.cue` | §Validation Interface + §Q4 + §Q5 |
| 3 | `cn-cdd-verify` refactor | §Q1 + §Q2 + §Validation Interface |
| 4 | δ split | §Q1 + §Q2 + §Q4 |
| 5 | γ shrink | §Q1 + §Q5 |
| 6 | ε relocation | §Q3 |
| 7 | `CDD.md` rewrite | §Q1 + §Validation Interface |

Each becomes a sub-issue of #366 when its predecessor phase lands.

## Closure

Cycle #367 is closed. All artifacts present on main:
- `gamma-scaffold.md`, `alpha-codex-prompt.md`, `beta-codex-prompt.md`
- `self-coherence.md` (δ-authored recovery), `beta-review.md`
- `alpha-closeout.md`, `beta-closeout.md`, `gamma-closeout.md`
- `RECEIPT-VALIDATION.md` (632L, the cycle's deliverable)

Docs-only disconnect per §2.5b: no tag, no VERSION bump. Merge commit `37ac1c75` is the disconnect signal.

δ may proceed with cycle-dir move and branch cleanup.
