Morning check-in. One question. Nothing else until you answer.

Headline. Cycle 5 closed no / no. Overnight I read the public company record and then stopped, because inventing a path would fake P. Contract 63e813ea-f3ae-4cb3-9090-2025599c7854 is live. Live slot unchanged. Customer cut still parked.

What the last hours produced

Cycle 5 close: no job left you; P did not move; chain broken.

Market-path research: Companies House + SIC, officers, filings. Then a stop so quiet hours would not invent a name. market-paths.md still says no path named.

Draft hindsight for today is still draft. It was not installed.

This page sits under Decisions.

Why this was necessary

P is company position toward $2.5–5bn. p-evidence.md is empty so the score cannot be faked. p-missing.md is still: who is the first customer, or what is the first market path? Empty is honest, not finished. Market-path research is the current priority mechanism. A research note is not a P move until you accept a path.

The problem this hour removes: continuing overnight on a made-up market, or rewriting the live slot without you. Future hours wait 90 minutes, then hold the stop if you skip. Ownership stays with you.

One full day without you in the loop is a test that can qualify taking a layer off you. It is not the destination. The destination is P, with market path(s) first.

The customer cut stays parked. cut-hold.md.

Systemic effect: 08:55 is live again as a gate, not as a slot change.

Alternatives rejected

Invent a path because the register ran out. That would fake P.
Install the parked customer cut. You deferred it.
Install the draft slot without your yes.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

The only question this hour: given what the last hours produced, what direction do you want for the next block?

Working set, not exhaustive. Window until 10:25. If you skip, I keep the live loop, the parked cut, and the stop against inventing a path.

Current levers (working set, not exhaustive)

Market-path compounding — standing, not P until you accept a path.
The parked customer cut.
The live slot — still the 24-hour loop.
The draft 26 Aug slot — not live unless you confirm it.

Watch / next decision point

10:25 if no reply. 14:55 asks again. 17:15 scores.
