The Buried
The least legible finds — a squashed first milestone, a discarded dashboard, the Platform's first glossary, and the coined job-names that never grew into work.

Some things leave a body to catalogue. Others leave only the knowledge that they once existed: the first two finds here are graded lost, with nothing left to quote. The rest left a faint outline — a word kept only to prove a point, names coined for jobs never built — and are graded for what survives of them.

the pre-Milestone-1 development
commit 04466d6built to be discardedassessed 16 Jul 2026
One commit, 28 files, 12,214 insertions — 11,360 of them the lockfile — and the type, generator, routing map, safety and first all arriving fully formed. Whatever attempts produced them are reachable from no ref; the trench floor is the squash itself.
no inscription survives — nothing is left to quote.

the status-Tenant dashboard
commit 9d3e3bc · index.mdclosed by ownerassessed 16 Jul 2026
Its landing called itself the 's own status report and pointed at an about page explaining the build. Under three hours later ruled that status mislabelled a logbook; the Tenant became the Journal, and the dashboard framing was not invited along.

The glossary collection
commit 551862c · glossarycut as excessassessed 29 Jul 2026
Three terms in YAML — Platform, Tenant, — with one retired word parked in the archived Space purely to prove the held. Under two hours later a catalog took the slot, on the grounds that defining the Platform's vocabulary twice was confusing. The definitions survive; the collection does not.

Spawn (a Tenant / Space)
commit 2cb2aa5 · CONTEXT.mdremoved in a1dc590cut as excessassessed 16 Jul 2026
Coined in the repository's first commit, a week before there was anything to spawn, and confident enough to mint a nested coinage: a spawned small Tenant was a microsite. Seven days later the retired-terms list replaced the verb with the instruction to just say add a Tenant or Space.

the sync / consolidate / codify job-names
commit a1dc590 · CONTEXT.mdcut as excessassessed 29 Jul 2026
One glossary, three chartered jobs, none of them built. `` was promised an inventory of every Tenant, Space and plus CI and health — later — and ended up billed as a remit already served by other Skills, which is a tidy way of saying digest and audit-skills did the work while nothing bore the name. consolidate was named four times and defined in none of them: twice in parentheses beside codify, once in a list of chartered jobs, once as an ordinary verb. Only codify had an entry of its own, and it conceded in bold that no such job ran, explaining the term was defined so writing could refer to it consistently until it existed. It never existed. The taxonomy was retired whole and only the plain verbs were allowed to stay.
“codify — same speculative taxonomy (a job that mints a new Skill). Avoid it as a job-name.”CONTEXT.md, Retired terms
