Anti-Clobber Lane acl

Coordination integrity for a multi-session ecosystem: optimistic-concurrency guards so parallel work never silently overwrites itself.

Session b44948fe · 2026-07-18 · verified live on the sovereign edge

Thesis. A logical artifact with two edit surfaces (laptop SSOT / NAS buildroot / live store) needs a reconciliation gate, or last-writer-wins silently drops work. This lane makes the 'never race the mirror' law mechanical, benchmarked vs git non-fast-forward, etcd compare-and-swap, K8s resourceVersion and CRDTs.

6 · Research beyond SOTA + fetch watch-list

Beyond-SOTA: content-addressed OCC for multi-agent write fabrics; per-artifact vector-clock lineage; semantic (not byte) source reconciliation. Fetch: Jujutsu/Sapling conflict models · CRDT research (Automerge/Yjs) · Dropbox/rsync conflict-copy heuristics · etcd/ZooKeeper lease semantics.

7 · ROI + maturity (non-fake, tagged)

Revenue today $0 MEASURED. Anti-clobber value = avoided rework + avoided outage: 2 mgmt outages this cluster traced to un-eaten debt MEASURED; seq71 was manually repaired twice -- this lane removes that recurring cost. Ecosystem maturity 456 permil / 20 domains MEASURED; coordination = META domain FUNCTIONAL->S-CLASS. Full ROI envelope (~$30-110k/yr, sibling-owned, source-tagged) at /pmdash.

8 · Coordination

Did not double-drive the pmdash/eff/ROI hotbed (sibling-owned) -- anti-clobber is the meta-fix that protects it (seq96 was a pmdash collision, exactly what F745 detects). Live oversight surfaces: /standup · /frontier · /plan · /pmdash.
