+# 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
