# β close-out | cnos#411 — Sub 6 of #403

**Cycle:** cnos#411
**Verdict history:** R1 APPROVED (single round; no findings; no fix rounds)
**Merge:** operator-side merge of `cycle/411` → `main` (wave-mode; β does
not push directly in this configuration per `operator/SKILL.md` §5.2
consequence 3).

## Review context

The cycle delivered three classes of edits:

1. **CDD.md §"Software-specific realization" replacement.** Section
   renamed (no longer "pending"); body replaced with a 15-bullet CDS
   pointer list. β verified each bullet's CDS anchor exists at
   `cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md` and the bullets together cover every
   marker family the pre-#402 CDD.md carried.

2. **CDD.md kernel-section minor edits.** §"Domain packages" / §"Pointers"
   / §"Hard rule" / §"Non-goals" + preamble updated to reflect cnos.cds
   v0.1 having shipped under cnos#403. β confirmed these are factual
   cross-reference-consistency edits permitted under AC3 — no kernel
   doctrine altered. Kernel sections (§Kernel through §Scope-lift)
   verified word-for-word identical to origin/main except for the
   `pending bootstrap` → `v0.1 shipped` factual update in §Domain
   packages.

3. **Cross-reference re-pointing across 15 files.** β audited every
   re-pointed citation against the gamma-scaffold table at
   `gamma-scaffold.md` §"Citation re-pointing table". Each mapping
   preserves granularity per the table.

## Merge evidence

- **Base SHA:** `71b25672` (Merge cycle/410)
- **Cycle head SHA:** at α review-readiness signal
- **CI:** docs-only cycle; no CI applicable (no code changed; no schema
  changed; no validator surface touched)
- **Conflicts:** none expected (Sub 7 runs in parallel on independent
  file set per #411 wave plan; Sub 7's surfaces do not overlap with
  Sub 6's; the wave plan makes the two subs commute mechanically)

## β release-readiness signal

**Not applicable for Sub 6.** This cycle is documentation cleanup; no
version bump; no tag; no release. The wave closes #403 when both Sub 6
and Sub 7 are on main, but each sub is its own merge — there is no
wave-level release artifact.

## Findings

**None.** β substantive read in `beta-review.md` enumerates three
potential failure modes (cross-repo STATUS lifecycle; design/SKILL.md
governance language; example PRA in post-release/SKILL.md) and confirms
each is handled correctly. No D-severity, no C-severity, no B-severity,
no A-severity findings; nothing tagged `cdd-*-gap`.
