SD-130
The honest layer. Verbatim recording. Wardroom. Captain identified that the human story has the weather gauge over technical readiness. “Without this, I don’t care if the demo works, because I don’t know what its all for.” Captain caught Weaver hedging – pulling back to safe technical priorities when the Captain was surfacing the actual story. Weaver acknowledged the hedge. The “go dark” was not strategy – it was embarrassment. The disclosure is not a move – it is what happened. Two years of work, the last three weeks the most determined ascent. Front line mental health, self-taught code, engineering reality. The proof is in the public git. Elephant graveyard. Verbatim at docs/internal/main-thread/2026-02-25-001-the-honest-layer.md (444). Standing order: when the Captain speaks in the wardroom, record it. When Weaver hedges, the Captain will catch it. Both of these are the process working.
