+# ACE 0.6.0 Measured Intelligence merged-source convergence work packet (v1)
+
+**Status:** bounded post-merge candidate. This packet does not change package versions, merge the
+World draft, tag or publish an artifact, close issue
+[#38](https://github.com/augmented-cognition-engine/core/issues/38), pass SI4, apply a measured
+proposal, or declare ACE 0.6.0 complete.
+
+**Core base:** merged `main` commit `7013de62ae7320c51c3de9e9a03b049e768e4d84`.
+
+**World target:** draft [PR #17](https://github.com/augmented-cognition-engine/domain-world-intelligence/pull/17),
+executable source `cb7b6fdb2b9fe4dd3c34df8afc1368c86d026710`.
+
+## Objective
+
+Replace stacked-candidate inheritance with one exact default-branch artifact and cross-domain
+receipt:
+
+1. build Core, the reference Action adapter, World, and the World source adapter twice from exact
+   source identities and require byte-identical wheels;
+2. install those exact wheels in a fresh Python 3.12 environment outside every Core checkout;
+3. rerun the public World correction journey twice and freeze one canonical result;
+4. rerun the independent Market production-store journey, including fresh-process replay after a
+   real database restart and atomic-interruption controls;
+5. bind merged Core focused, default-branch CI, compatibility, and vulnerability results; and
+6. keep every release-owner decision visible rather than inferring a release pass.
+
+The public World path remains:
+
+```text
+Observation -> Shift -> Signal -> Brief -> Decision -> reviewed Action
+            -> observed Outcome -> governed feedback
+```
+
+## Ownership boundary
+
+- Core owns durable scope, identity, provenance, authority, Decision, Action, Outcome, append-only
+  history, replay, and proposal coordinates.
+- Intelligence owns the domain-neutral matched evaluation and `useful | harmful | unproven`
+  classifier.
+- World owns public-source fixtures, correction semantics, source policy, product criteria,
+  controls, and outcome meaning.
+- Market remains a separate private consumer. Only bounded result identities and verification
+  totals may enter this public record; no private source, fixture, product data, or extension code
+  moves into Core.
+
+## Acceptance and non-claims
+
+The packet may prove exact merged-source installation, reproducible wheels, checkout exclusion,
+deterministic World reproduction, independent Market reproduction, restart durability, atomic
+failure behavior, and green compatibility/security gates. It cannot prove causality, population
+performance, live freshness, general source independence, provider quality, human/customer
+benefit, general SI4 completion, or a published 0.6 artifact.
+
+Every governance proposal remains non-effective, non-selectable, unapplied, and subject to
+separate human/Core authority. This packet adds no proposal-application path.
+
+## Issue #49 boundary
+
+F1 and F5 implementation are merged in exact Core `main` and are re-derived here through focused,
+default-branch, and external-consumer evidence. On `2026-08-11`, an authenticated release owner
+reconciled the public issue #49 checklist by marking F1 and F5 complete against exact Core
+`7013de62ae7320c51c3de9e9a03b049e768e4d84`.
+
+F3 remains unimplemented, unresolved, and unwaived. The same public disposition re-dated it to
+`2026-11-05` under trusted-package-only scope, `ACE_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=1`, compatibility-matrix
+verification, and operator disablement on unexpected partial registration. Issue #49 remains open,
+and its future packet must stage every mutable registration surface, enforce ceilings, publish or
+roll back atomically, and emit a bounded failure report.
+
+## Owned files, rollback, and deletion criteria
+
+This packet owns this work packet, its point-in-time evidence, one evidence-index entry, and
+restrained current-state roadmap and maturity reconciliation. It owns no runtime code, schema,
+package version, workflow, World or Market policy, issue checklist, tag, or release.
+
+Rollback removes only these additive records and references. Preserve the evidence as historical
+if later artifact epochs, package versions, World source, or release identities change. Supersede
+it with a release-readiness receipt only after World review/merge, final artifact/version decisions,
+public-index installation, and release-owner acceptance.

+
+No version changed and no artifact was published. The local Core wheel still reports `0.5.0`; its
+complete source commit and hash distinguish it from public `ace-core==0.5.0`.
+
+## Public World result
+
+A fresh Python 3.12 environment installed all four exact wheels plus public dependencies. Core,
+the reference Action adapter, and the World source adapter imported from `site-packages`. The
+generator rejected every declared Core checkout root. Two fresh workspaces emitted byte-identical
+canonical JSON:
+
+```text
+sha256:c62a7db77b66a15f2930c850bdb8bbc44b542f928c2e0b146b5bf3dde08f30df
+```
+
+The exact BLS correction pair still produces treatment `[1.0, 1.0]`, control `[0.0, 0.0]`, two
+matched pairs, mean effect `1.0`, and bounded `useful`. The `promote` proposal remains
+non-effective, non-selectable, unapplied, requires human review, and is not reauthorized on
+historical replay.
+
+World verification against the installed merged Core wheel:
+
+```text
+complete World suite: 123 passed in 37.82s
+official-source connector suite: 80 passed in 0.65s
+package/release contract: 7 passed in 0.07s
+updated convergence and release controls: 10 passed in 2.20s
+```
+
+## Independent Market result
+
+The independent Market production-store acceptance retained its deliberately different result:
+
+```text
+classification: unproven
+treatment mean: 1.0
+control mean: 0.5
+mean effect: 0.5
+proposal: reject
+live_effect: false
+selectable: false
+requires_human_review: true
+evaluation digest: sha256:cba0ec7d5252f53f65243d1ecd3c98295f6773b1fa90649cbc544b377cec8dca
+transaction receipt: append_only_receipt:f384e488f58f3752e6591a427ce4fc5c
+```
+
+Core schema v177 was applied to a disposable SurrealDB 3.2.1 store. The execute phase persisted the
+exact journey through `SurrealImmutableRecordStore`; a fresh process reopened the same transaction
+after a real database restart without current authorization or reclassification. The focused
+authority, interruption, and replay lane passed `5` tests. The complete Market backend passed
+`379 passed, 8 skipped, 4 deselected` against the installed merged Core wheel.
+
+This private second-domain falsifier proves unchanged neutral expressibility and durability. It is
+not public Market data, a new provider run, causal evidence, customer benefit, or general Market
+quality evidence.
+
+## Core and security verification
+
+```text
+merged measured-impact + F1/F5 focused lane: 82 passed in 10.83s
+main push CI: lint, fast tests, naked kernel, Canvas, security audit, Docker build passed
+clean installed-environment pip-audit 2.10.1: no known vulnerabilities found
+```
+
+The vulnerability audit could not resolve the two separately built adapter distributions on PyPI
+and reported them explicitly as skipped; all public resolved dependencies were audited. The clean
+environment installed public dependencies from the public index, but it used local exact candidate
+wheels. A public-index-only 0.6 install remains impossible until a 0.6 package is actually
+published and is therefore still an open release gate.
+
+## Release-state corrections and issue #49
+
+The stacked merge automatically closed issue #38 despite the explicit no-close boundary. The
+milestone was reopened with a public correction; it remains **Next**.
+
+F1 and F5 implementation are now merged and reproduced from exact `main`. On `2026-08-11`, an
+authenticated release owner reconciled issue #49 by marking F1 and F5 complete against exact Core
+`7013de62ae7320c51c3de9e9a03b049e768e4d84`. F3 remains unimplemented, unresolved, and unwaived;
+the owner explicitly re-dated it to `2026-11-05` under the trusted-package-only, extension-kill-
+switch, compatibility-matrix, and operator-disablement containment recorded on the still-open issue.
+
+## What this proves and what remains
+
+The exact merged Core source supports a reproducible public World `useful` result and an independent
+Market `unproven` result through the same neutral measured-impact contract. Both preserve exact
+attribution, append-only replay, explicit uncertainty, restart durability, and proposal-only
+authority. This is the smallest honest cross-domain convergence result; it is not a supported or
+published release.
+
+Remaining gates are World PR #17 review/merge, final Core/World version and artifact identities,
+public-index-only installation, release compatibility/security acceptance, publication, and
+explicit release-owner acceptance. F3 remains tracked on open issue #49 under its documented
+containment; no tag or publication occurred.
