EM-0025 execution plan

Status: candidate complete on codex/em-0025-concept-and-case-roadmap; exact-head review pending.

Objective

Preserve the owner-directed conceptual material behind Epistemedia's name, synthesize the supplied

Case 002 strategy without laundering model-generated pre-research into evidence, select a bounded

Case 002 direction, and retain a diverse small-library roadmap.

Inputs and authority

• accepted base: 2f9265ffb389e06ca7ef102c73678936d8b0136d;
• immutable task: tasks/contracts/EM-0025.json;
• owner direction and three supplied strategy/pre-research packets from 2026-08-22;
• accepted docs/product-direction.md, docs/brand.md, docs/dossiers.md, and root AGENTS.md.

The supplied packets are private coordination inputs. Their factual leads may become retrieval

questions, but their prose, reported numbers, and implied citations are not repository evidence.

Change surface

1. Add a conceptual-vocabulary document under docs/editorial/.

2. Add a standalone Case 002 decision, candidate ledger, research brief, and library roadmap.

3. Link both from the documentation index and product-direction brief.

4. Record claim and completion receipts under runs/.

Boundaries

• no Case 002 source collection, agent run, empirical assertion, dossier, catalog entry, or feature;
• no change to Case 001, application code, tests, policies, schemas, workflows, or generated files;
• no raw private model conversation or unverified numeric finding copied into public documentation;
• no deployment, promotion, spend, credentials, accounts, or provider action.

Verification

• compare the case ledger against every supplied candidate and strategic criterion;
• verify the vocabulary includes the Greek distinctions and their product consequences while

preserving the philosophy-versus-product boundary;

• search for accidental claims of accepted evidence, Case 002 completion, or universal knowledge;
• verify exact changed-path scope against EM-0025;
• run make check PYTHON=.venv/bin/python and git diff --check;
• obtain exact-head independent review before protected merge.

Candidate results

• both new editorial documents are linked from the documentation index and product brief;
• the vocabulary retains the Greek cluster, historical-sense boundary, modern operational bridge,

product implications, explicit non-authority statement, and future source-packet agenda;

• the case record includes all supplied candidate classes, separates selection from admission,

selects agent citation lineage conditionally, defines a trace-first unit and provisional card,

preserves later retrieval questions, and sequences Cases 002–006;

• changed paths are limited to docs/ and the claim/completion receipts under runs/;
• make check PYTHON=.venv/bin/python passes 80 tests, accepted-input validation, a clean public

audit, deterministic comparison build, and unchanged source-tree state;

• git diff --check passes.
