# Self-Coherence — Cycle #331

> **RETROACTIVE RECONSTRUCTION** — This artifact was not produced during the cycle.
> It is reconstructed post-merge from git history by cycle #335 (issue #335).
> Original merge: `315e5292` on 2026-05-08. Reconstruction date: 2026-05-09.

## Gap Statement

Six CDD protocol gaps identified in the cdd-supercycle cross-repo retrospective with `usurobor/tsc`. The gaps were proposed as patches to the cnos CDD skill package and applied directly to `cycle/331-cdd-supercycle-learnings`.

## Mode

`design-and-build` — six skill/protocol patches authoring new rules and artifacts.

## Acceptance Criteria (reconstructed from PR #332 diff)

| # | AC | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | `cdd/review/SKILL.md` gains §3.13 honest-claim verification rule | SHIPPED (`1a4f1966`) |
| 2 | `cdd/issue/SKILL.md` gains mode declaration header and MCA preconditions | SHIPPED (`68c18d23`) |
| 3 | `cdd/release/SKILL.md` gains §2.5b docs-only disconnect path | SHIPPED (`10f71e7f`) |
| 4 | CDD tracking gains review-rounds column and finding-class metrics | SHIPPED (`878caf62`) |
| 5 | `cdd/release/SKILL.md` gains §3.8 honest-grading rubric | SHIPPED (`b27fc15b`) |
| 6 | `cdd-iteration.md` specified as canonical artifact; `.cdd/iterations/INDEX.md` required | SHIPPED (`d3c3b3ca`) |

## CDD Trace

| Step | Artifact | Skills loaded | Decision |
|------|----------|--------------|----------|
| Design | Six protocol gap proposals (from `usurobor/tsc` cross-repo retro) | write, design | patches authored directly |
| Build | Six commits on `cycle/331-cdd-supercycle-learnings` | — | diff clean, all patches correct |
| Close | (MISSING — reconstructed retroactively) | — | no self-coherence written at cycle time |

## Review Readiness

No review-readiness signal was written. β did not perform an in-cycle review. Patches were authored and merged without the triadic close-out protocol.

## Protocol Gaps at Cycle Time

- No `self-coherence.md` produced (this file is the retroactive substitute)
- No `beta-review.md` produced
- No `alpha-closeout.md` produced
- No `beta-closeout.md` produced
- No `gamma-closeout.md` produced
- No `cdd-iteration.md` produced (ironic: this cycle introduced the artifact but did not produce it for itself)
- No PRA produced
- No CHANGELOG row added
- Cycle directory never moved from `.cdd/unreleased/331/` (which also never existed)
