# γ close-out — cycle/392

**Actor:** δ-as-agent (γ+α+β-collapsed-on-δ mode for cycle/392)
**Issue:** cnos#392
**Branch:** `cycle/392`
**Merge SHA:** `c74c862b6a703dd3c839945397240fa038fc4103`

## Summary

Cycle/392 ports V (Contract × Receipt → ValidationVerdict) from Python to Go under the operator-pinned 7-axis implementation contract. Supersedes cycle/391 (closed as rescoped). Phase 3 remediation complete (v2); Phase 4 (δ split) unblocked on a Go-native, repo-coherent V.

The cycle was dispatched with a δ-as-architect implementation-contract block — language Go, kernel-tier CLI, cnos.cdd package scoping, full removal of Python+bash predecessors, no new runtime deps, JSON schema preserved, backward compat preserved. α/β-collapsed on δ executed against the pinned contract; β review APPROVED R1 with no findings.

## Decisions exercised

- Kernel command (not ExecCommand wrapper) — required by CLI pin.
- Go workspace + replace — required to bridge package-scoping pin and CLI pin without committing binaries.
- YAML parsing via `cue export` subprocess — required by no-new-deps pin.
- Bash + Python both removed entirely — operator preference.

## Cross-cycle observations

- The CDD remediation pattern "δ pins implementation contract upstream; α executes" was load-bearing for this cycle. Cycle/391's failure was the absence of this pinning. Cycle/392's success is the proof that the pinning works.
- This is the second cycle in a row (after #390) where δ-as-architect was exercised; F4 (in cdd-iteration.md) captures the inward δ membrane as a Phase 4 concern.

## Post-merge tasks (ε)

- Comment on cnos#366 noting Phase 3 remediation complete (v2); Phase 4 unblocked.
- Comment on cnos#389 noting Python superseded; Go is canonical.
- Comment on cnos#391 noting the rescoped cycle shipped via #392.
- Update `.cdd/iterations/INDEX.md` row for #392.
- Attempt origin branch delete (expect 403; note here).

## Branch cleanup

Attempted `git push origin --delete cycle/392`: **403 Forbidden** (per cnos branch-protection policy on `cycle/*` branches). Expected. Origin branch persists; this is intentional — cycle/392 lives in history.
