# HyperTwist Blindfold Memo Attempt And Validation Hierarchy Reconciliation - 2026-05-27

## Status

This document is the source-backed reconciliation note for the current
blindfold memo attempt and validation family across:

- `ambisinister/blindsolve`
- the first-party training timing, coaching-memory, and replay-verification
  surfaces
- the broader memory doctrine and training/coaching canon

It answers one narrow question:

- does the current `ambisinister/blindsolve` source require reopening already
  landed HyperTwist timing, coaching-memory, or replay-verification packets
  before any future blindfold memo packet is considered

Result:

- no product-code reopening is required
- yes selective authority backfill is required so the retained blindfold-memo
  slice stays narrow and does not blur into the current first-party
  timing/coaching/replay surfaces or the broader memory doctrine

## Slice-local verdict

| Slice | Primary authority | Secondary value kept | Route | Width | Result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Landed first-party timing-policy templates, method-drill/coaching-memory follow-up surfaces, and replay-verification blindfold event taxonomy | first-party training, coaching, and replay surfaces | none required from `ambisinister/blindsolve` | existing landed permissive route | `F2` | unchanged live implementation owner |
| Blindfold memo attempt-phase loop with conceal or reveal validation, letter-pair token entry, parity-aware validity expectation, and lightweight repeat cadence | `ambisinister/blindsolve` | current first-party timing, coaching-memory, and replay-verification families remain adjacent non-overlapping owners | `R4` now, `R3` only if an explicit clean-room packet is opened later | `F2` | restrictive BLD memo benchmark authority kept explicit |

## Why no product-code reopening is required

### `ambisinister/blindsolve`

`ambisinister` still has retained value, but it is narrow:

- blindfold memo attempt flow instead of generic face-turn solving
- letter-pair token entry rather than normal turn input
- hide/reveal validation loop
- lightweight repeatable attempt timing cadence
- parity-aware memo expectation inside a small local flow

That retained value is explicit in the current source:

- `README.md` defines the product as a blindsolving memo trainer solved by
  entering letter pairs rather than face turns
- `main.py` demonstrates the donor's intended flow: scramble, corner-letter
  application, parity step, edge-letter application, and validation display
- `cube.py` keeps a lightweight cube-state and display layer suitable for
  inspect/confirm rather than a heavy twisty shell
- `algs.py` shows explicit OP-method and parity table dependence, which is
  useful as domain reference but not donor-approved implementation value

Those strengths make `ambisinister/blindsolve` the strongest current retained
benchmark for a narrow blindfold memo micro-mode. They do not make it the owner
of HyperTwist's live timing templates, coaching-memory surfaces, replay
verification, or broader memory architecture.

### Current first-party timing, coaching-memory, and replay surfaces

HyperTwist already owns adjacent first-party surfaces:

- memo/recall timing policy templates already exist
- method-drill and coaching-memory follow-up surfaces already exist
- replay-verification blindfold event taxonomy and timestamp surfaces already
  exist

Those surfaces are adjacent and broader. `ambisinister/blindsolve` does not
reopen them.

### Memory doctrine

HyperTwist's memory doctrine already says memory is lane-based, bounded, and
not owned by one donor or one packet.

`ambisinister/blindsolve` does not reopen the broader memory lane canon. It is
only a later clean-room comparison surface if HyperTwist wants a specific
blindfold memo micro-mode above the current timing/coaching/replay seams.

## Selective backfill result

### Earlier packet reopened

- `C:\HyperTwist\docs\HYPERTWIST_PHASE_0R_PACKET_0R_E_EVALUATION_2026-05-13.md`

### Earlier standing note reopened

- `C:\Workspaces\HyperTwist\clean-room-specs\ambisinister-blindsolve.model-a.md`

### Reason

Later comparison against the now-landed HyperTwist timing/coaching/replay
surfaces sharpened the exact retained `ambisinister` slice:

- `ambisinister/blindsolve` is not a generic training-session owner
- `ambisinister/blindsolve` is not the live owner of coach-memory or long-horizon cognitive-memory surfaces
- `ambisinister/blindsolve` is not the live owner of replay verification or blindfold replay-event custody
- `ambisinister/blindsolve` remains the BLD memo benchmark only for the
  narrower attempt-phase, hide/reveal validation, letter-pair token entry,
  parity-aware memo expectation, and lightweight repeat-cadence slice

### Change class

- repo-local extraction did not change
- cross-lane authority wording was sharpened for the exact retained slice
- no cleanup interpretation changed
- no product-code change occurred

### What remained valid

- the original `0R-E` decision to keep `ambisinister/blindsolve` no-license
  and non-live remained valid
- the current first-party timing/coaching surfaces remained valid
- the current first-party replay-verification surfaces remained valid
- the existing scrubbed `Model A` handoff remained valid as a seed

### What changed

The dependent canon now makes the exact non-live role explicit:

- keep `ambisinister/blindsolve` only as the strongest clean-room benchmark for
  the narrow blindfold memo attempt and validation slice
- keep timing/coaching ownership with the current first-party surfaces
- keep blindfold replay-event and verification ownership with the current
  first-party replay family
- keep broader memory ownership with HyperTwist's lane doctrine rather than
  donor implication

## Propagation result

### Feature registry

Updated.

The registry now explicitly records the retained blindfold memo benchmark slice
instead of leaving that slice implicit in the older `0R-E` packet alone.

### Cross-lane doctrine

No doctrine wording change was needed.

This pass applied the existing `A/R/F` hierarchy; it did not change the
hierarchy rules themselves.

### Skillization

No doctrine or `SKILLS.md` change was needed.

This pass did not create or reopen any command or skill surface.

### Legal evidence

No license-status or mirror-custody change occurred.

The repo-row tracker, feature registry, manifest, and scrubbed handoff were
sharpened instead.

## Operational answer

Before any future blindfold memo packet is opened, the correct move was this
evaluation and selective backfill pass first.

After this pass:

- do not reopen the live product code
- do not reinterpret `ambisinister/blindsolve` as proof that timing,
  coaching-memory, replay verification, or broad memory ownership is still
  pending
- if HyperTwist later opens a true blindfold memo micro-mode, start from the
  retained benchmark slice only and keep it clean-room routed rather than
  donor-routed
