The from-god graph grows GOVERNED, not random: one control plane, every daemon supervised, every job reconciled, resources budgeted -- no orphan daemons, no unmonitored cron, no runaway churn.

| SOTA pattern | Governs | Nishi status |
|---|---|---|
| K8s reconciliation loop (observe/compare/correct) | desired vs actual, continuously | PARTIAL -- supervisor observes+corrects; desired-state not fully declared (F752) |
| Exponential backoff / circuit-breaker on requeue | crash-loops do not burn resources | GAP on reader-keep (torrent guard HAS it) = F751 |
| Declarative desired-state manifests | replica/daemon counts declared | PARTIAL -- daemons.reg exists; supervise-count undeclared (F752) |
| Single control plane (no side-channel jobs) | no orphan daemons / unmonitored cron | cron.reg->crontab reconcile exists; coverage gaps (F753) |

Beyond-SOTA: closed-loop AI incident remediation (auto-diagnose+correct, MTTR->0); policy-as-code ADMISSION (reject an ungoverned daemon/cron at birth, not after); per-organ resource budgets with backpressure. Fetch: K8s operator/reconciler patterns · systemd supervision-tree + timers (vs raw cron) · OPA/policy-as-code · SRE error-budgets/SLO · closed-loop Kubernetes remediation research.
Sibling integrity lanes: /anticlobber (write-clobber guards). Oversight: /standup · /frontier · /plan · /pmdash. Did NOT blind-kill the reader-keep -- the supervisor is crown-jewel (never-brick); F751 fixes it deliberately in-lane (measure+file, not fight the resurrector).
