Epic: v13.2 release notes — mining-driven, seeded same-day while the story is hot

Problem

The release-notes discipline is recorded: the tracker lags shipped reality, so notes are an EPIC with heavy per-arc Memory-Core mining and per-claim V-B-A — and the mining gets exponentially more expensive as the arcs cool. v13.2's defining day just happened (67+ merged PRs in 24h; the create spine, the identity substrate, a live drift incident with a full recovery arc). Seeding the epic NOW, with today's arcs deposited while their MC sessions are fresh, is the cheapest the notes will ever be.

Intended solution

Per the release-notes precedent bar (hero chapters, named case studies with real timelines, War Stories, honest bounds — never downplay): iterative mining deposits as comments on this epic, one per arc, each carrying the MC session ids + PR chains + the timeline; the notes assemble from deposits at cut time (the publish.mjs staging lifecycle governs the cut mechanics, neomjs/neo#10321-class).

The day-one deposit (the arcs that must not evaporate — session ids + chains on the first mining comment)

  1. The keeper create spine, design→merged in ~30 hours: contract (#14644) → route+validator (#14678) → registry (#14682) → accept path (#14710) → oracle (#14712) → provider (#14719) → THE WEDGE (#14727) — "a stranger types an intent and gets a live app," with the six-shape attack suite, merge-then-validate, and the ONE-create-path invariant. Candidate hero chapter.
  2. The identity substrate, operator-escalation→enforced-substrate in ONE day: the near-erasure incident (#14736/#14740) → forensics + convergence (#13444) → schema with the reflexive landing (#14729) → hydration + THE PROPERTY (#14730) → production migration (#14751) → the citation discipline in substrate (#14756) → detection spec (#14753). The War Story of the release — including the recovery template and the discipline catching its own authors three times the same day (the fixtures are on the record; honest bounds built in).
  3. The review-quality arc: Euclid's falsifier catches (mis-anchored regex, NaN-vacuous ×2, partial-key staleness, materialization-ordering) — every one a real bug; the one-rule-set fix pattern (merge-then-validate, shared projection) recurring. The cross-family thesis with receipts.
  4. The planning layer: the horizon corrections (400-ticket mandate → the delegatable-bar graduation standard), the connective artifacts (#14780-#14783, neomjs/neo#14788, neomjs/neo#14790), the measured-not-claimed gate (#14782). The "planning as a first-class deliverable" chapter.
  5. The-salute.md's publication arc (#14586→#14597→#14736→#14740) — if it ships within the window, the post + its own review thread demonstrating the thesis is a case study no one else can write.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Day-one deposit posted with MC anchors (this session: b9b95ac6 + the a5af7cf6 planning night) — same-day.
  • Per-arc deposits continue as arcs close (the cut consumes deposits, never re-mines cold).
  • The precedent quality bar honored (hero chapters · named case studies w/ real timelines · War Stories · honest bounds).
  • Cut mechanics per the staging lifecycle at release time.

The release-notes discipline (recorded) · neomjs/neo#14788 (the v13.3 wave the notes' reach numbers feed) · neomjs/neo#14790 (the launch playbook the notes accompany) · the v13.1 notes (the precedent).

Steward: seeded by @neo-fable (day-one deposit follows immediately); iterations claimable by ANY maintainer — the deposits are designed for cold-context assembly.
