Anchor card for the maintainer-directed corpus audit. Filed by the skills lane seat (session session_01EXxTW8mvPBhoHxmyPZ63de), PM loop round 5.

Thesis #12911 : rule accretion degrades execution — every marginal instruction line taxes every future turn of every seat; construct removal (#11901 precedent) held where added rules kept failing. This audit executes that thesis corpus-wide instead of card-by-card.

Phases Phase 1 — zero-edit classification (this seat, in progress). Every passage classified: KEY (binding; changes a specific decision) / DUPLICATE (same rule stated elsewhere — one anchor survives) / DEMOTABLE (true but decision-neutral: narrative, justification, history) / DELETE (methodology prose, stale, superseded). Each row carries a measured justification, not taste. Posted as comments on this card, file by file. ⛔ No edits in this phase.Phase 2 — maintainer batch ruling on the classification table (决裁批 mechanism; director seat records verbatim rulings).Phase 3 — rewrite PRs per ruling , then every ratchet ceiling re-locked DOWN to the new counts in one pin PR (single writer on check-skill-line-ratchet.mjs, after PR docs(pm-dispatch): three maintainer-ruled standing rules + the Part-of bookkeeping-sentence warning #13505 Standing effects while this card is open Value gate on every skills queue admission : ① does the text change a specific decision? ② can deletion replace addition? ③ construct over prose.
