docs: rewrite PR #10 description to drop unfalsifiable metric claims

Auditor correctly flagged the '3 → 6' score claim as unbacked by diff
(consensus: 3/3 not-backed). The claim referenced scrum_reviews.jsonl —
an external metric file — which the auditor cannot verify against
source changes alone. Rewrote the PR body to only claim what's
directly verifiable from the diff (committed tests, committed code
paths, committed startup logging). Trajectory data remains in
docs/SCRUM_LOOP_NOTES.md for historical reference but is no longer
asserted as fact in the PR body.

+# Lakehouse Claim Auditor
+
+A Bun sub-agent that watches open PRs on Gitea, reads the ship-claims
+in commit messages and PR bodies, and **hard-blocks** merges when the
+code doesn't back the claim.
+
+Rationale: when "compiles + one curl works" gets called "phase shipped,"
+placeholder code accumulates. This auditor runs every 90s, fetches
+each open PR, and subjects it to four checks:
+
+1. **Static diff** — grep/parse looking for placeholder patterns
+2. **Dynamic** — runs the never-before-executed hybrid test fixture
+3. **Cloud inference** — asks `gpt-oss:120b` via `/v1/chat` to
+   identify gaps in the diff
+4. **KB query** — looks up `data/_kb/` + observer for prior failure
+   patterns on similar claims
+
+Verdict is assembled, posted to Gitea as:
+- A **failing commit status** (hard block — branch protection
+  prevents merge)
+- A **review comment** explaining every finding
+
+## Run manually
+
+```bash
+cd /home/profit/lakehouse
+bun run auditor/index.ts
+```
+
+Defaults: polls every 90s, stops on `auditor.paused` file present.
+
+## State
+
+- `data/_auditor/state.json` — last-audited head SHA per PR
+- `data/_auditor/verdicts/{pr}-{sha}.json` — per-run verdict record
+- `data/_kb/audit_lessons.jsonl` — one row per block/warn finding,
+  path-agnostic signature for dedup. Tailed by kb_query on each audit
+  to surface recurring patterns (2+ distinct PRs with same signature
+  → info, 3-4 → warn, 5+ → block). This is how the auditor learns.
+- `data/_kb/scrum_reviews.jsonl` — scrum-master per-file reviews. If
+  a file in the current PR has been scrum-reviewed, kb_query surfaces
+  the review as a finding with the accepted model and attempt count.
+
+## Where YOU edit
+
+`auditor/policy.ts` — the verdict assembler. Controls which findings
+block vs warn vs inform. All other code is mechanical: fetching,
+running checks, posting to Gitea.
+
+## Hard-block mechanism
+
+1. Commit status is posted as `failure` with context `lakehouse/auditor`
+2. If `main` branch protection requires `lakehouse/auditor` status
+   to pass, Gitea prevents merge
+3. When code is fixed and re-audit passes, status flips to `success`,
+   merge unblocks
+
+Enable branch protection (one-time, via Gitea UI or API):
+- `POST /repos/profit/lakehouse/branch_protections`
+- `{"branch_name": "main", "required_status_checks": {"contexts": ["lakehouse/auditor"]}}`

+// kb_index — generic on-the-fly aggregation over append-only JSONL
+// scratchpads (audit_lessons, scrum_reviews, outcomes, observer ops).
+//
+// The mem0 insight: raw rows are CHEAP and tell the full story, but
+// downstream prompts need a DEFINITION, not a log. A definition is
+// the aggregate: "this signature has fired N times across M distinct
+// scopes, first_seen=X, last_seen=Y, confidence=M/N."
+//
+// This library is the single shared aggregator. Every KB writer keeps
+// appending raw rows; every KB reader uses aggregate() instead of
+// tailing the raw stream. No second file to sync, no ADD/UPDATE/NOOP
+// routing — the stats roll up from the raw rows every time.
+//
+// Why this works past hundreds of runs:
+//   - aggregate() is bounded by distinct_signatures, not total_rows.
+//   - confidence = distinct_scopes / count — low for same-scope noise,
+//     high for cross-scope patterns. Downstream severity ramps on
+//     confidence × count, not raw count, so one unfixed PR can't
+//     inflate its own recurrence score (the classic mem0 failure).
+//   - rotation (later) moves old raw to archive files; aggregate()
+//     can still read both to compute lifetime counts when needed.

+# Lakehouse PR-Bot
+
+A local sub-agent that reads the PRD, asks a cloud model for a small change
+proposal, applies it, runs tests, and opens a draft PR on Gitea. Manual-only
+right now — no systemd, no cron. Run one cycle at a time and watch.
+
+## Run one cycle
+
+```bash
+cd /home/profit/lakehouse
+bun run bot/cycle.ts
+```
+
+Prerequisites:
+- Working tree must be clean (`git status` shows nothing). The bot refuses on a dirty tree so its changes don't mix with in-flight work.
+- Sidecar running on :3200, gateway on :3100, observer on :3800.
+- At least one PRD line tagged `[bot-eligible]` (see below).
+- Gitea PAT configured in `~/.git-credentials` (already set up).
+
+## Tag a gap as bot-eligible
+
+Add `[bot-eligible]` to any PRD line the bot is allowed to work on:
+
+```md
+- [ ] Add a unit test for parse_city_state covering "South Bend, IN" edge case [bot-eligible]
+```
+
+The bot scans `docs/PRD.md` for these tags. Each tagged line becomes a candidate.
+Start small — one tag at a time — until you trust the loop.
+
+## Stop it mid-cycle
+
+Create the pause file:
+
+```bash
+touch /home/profit/lakehouse/bot.paused
+```
+
+The next `bot/cycle.ts` invocation exits immediately with `skipped_pause`.
+(It does NOT kill a cycle already in-flight — use `Ctrl-C` or `pkill -f bot/cycle.ts` for that.)
+
+## Budget
+
+- **20 cloud calls/day, 160k tokens/day** (hard ceiling, see `bot/cost.ts`).
+- Tracked in `data/_bot/cost-YYYY-MM-DD.json`.
+- Resets at UTC midnight.
+
+## Cycle outcomes
+
+Every run writes a result to `data/_bot/cycles/{cycle_id}.json` and POSTs an event to the observer on :3800.
+Possible outcomes:
+
+| Outcome | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `ok` | PR opened |
+| `cycle_noop` | proposal applied, every file was **identical to current content** (Mem0 NOOP); no test run, no PR |
+| `skipped_pause` | pause file present |
+| `skipped_cost` | daily budget exhausted |
+| `skipped_policy` | `policy.shouldRunCycle` said no |
+| `skipped_dirty_tree` | uncommitted changes present |
+| `skipped_no_gap` | no `[bot-eligible]` tags in PRD |
+| `model_failed` | sidecar/cloud model errored or returned unparseable JSON |
+| `proposal_rejected` | `policy.scoreProposal` rejected it (size, path, etc.) |
+| `apply_failed` | file write errored |
+| `tests_failed` | cargo or bun test red |
+| `pr_skipped_by_policy` | green tests, but `policy.shouldOpenPR` said no |
+| `pr_failed` | Gitea API or git push errored |
+
+## Mem0-aligned apply semantics
+
+`apply.ts` categorizes every proposed file into one of three modes:
+
+| Mode | Trigger | Action |
+|---|---|---|
+| **ADD** | `is_new: true` and file doesn't exist | Create the file |
+| **UPDATE** | `is_new: false`, file exists, content **differs** from current | Overwrite |
+| **NOOP** | `is_new: false`, file exists, content **matches** current exactly | Skip (no write, no diff) |
+
+If every file in the proposal is NOOP, the cycle short-circuits to `cycle_noop` **before** running tests or opening a PR. Mismatched shapes (`is_new:true` but file exists, or `is_new:false` but file missing) become `apply_failed` — model state confusion is surfaced, not papered over.
+
+PR bodies report the three counts separately so reviewers see what actually changed vs. what was confirmed identical.
+
+## How the bot compounds over cycles
+
+Every finished cycle persists a `CycleResult` to `data/_bot/cycles/{cycle_id}.json`. At the **start** of the next cycle, `bot/kb.ts::loadHistory(gap_id)` scans that directory, filters to prior cycles on the same gap, and returns the five most recent outcomes (`ok`, `tests_failed`, `proposal_rejected`, `cycle_noop`, etc.) with their reasons and touched files.
+
+Those outcomes are summarized into a compact block and **injected into the cloud prompt** before asking for a new proposal. The model sees things like:
+
+```
+Prior attempts on this gap (3 most recent):
+- 2026-04-22 03:15 UTC — tests_failed
+    reason: cargo test -p vectord::lance failed on field_type_coerce
+- 2026-04-22 02:48 UTC — proposal_rejected
+    reason: touched forbidden path (docs/ADR-): docs/ADR-019-update.md
+- 2026-04-22 01:23 UTC — ok PR: https://git.agentview.dev/profit/lakehouse/pulls/142
+    reason: PR #142 opened
+
+Learn from these: build on what worked, avoid paths that failed.
+```
+
+This is the same compounding pattern `scenario.ts` uses via `kb.loadRecommendation` — the bot's cycles are the bot's memory. No embedding, no separate jsonl, no cross-run orchestration required. First cycle on a new gap skips the block cleanly.
+
+The observer events POSTed on every cycle carry the same data, so `GET :3800/stats?source=bot` aggregates "% of bot cycles on similar gaps that landed a PR" without extra plumbing.
+
+## Where YOU edit
+
+`bot/policy.ts` — four small functions that define what the bot does. The rest
+(`propose.ts`, `apply.ts`, `test.ts`, `pr.ts`, `cycle.ts`, `kb.ts`) is mechanical
+orchestration — you shouldn't need to touch it unless a pipeline changes.
+
+One policy upgrade the history opens up: in `shouldRunCycle`, you can now bail
+out if the same gap has failed N times in a row. Example addition:
+
+```ts
+import { loadHistory, statsFor } from "./kb.ts";
+// inside shouldRunCycle — but you'd need the gap, which is picked later.
+// A more natural place is scoreProposal: if prior N failures on this
+// gap's path+summary pattern, reject before testing.
+```
+
+## Hard-coded guardrails (not in policy — can't be disabled)
+
+- Bot **never deletes files** (`apply.ts` has no delete path).
+- Bot **never touches** `.git/`, `secrets`, `lakehouse.toml`, `docs/ADR-*`, `docs/DECISIONS.md`, `docs/PRD.md`, `/etc/`, `/root/`, `Cargo.lock`.
+- All paths validated for traversal (`path/../`) and repo-escape.
+- PRs always open as **draft** — never auto-merge.
+- Budget check is before the policy function runs — no way to override the daily cap from `policy.ts`.

+//!   2. For each shard, build a map prompt that includes the running

+//!   3. Append the map output to the scratchpad (oldest-first
+//!      truncation when it outgrows `scratchpad_budget`).
+//!   4. Build a reduce prompt from the final scratchpad and run it.
+//!
+//! Every shard prompt and the reduce prompt go through

+//! we bubble the error up rather than silently truncating. That's the

+//! Phase 40 (early deliverable) — Langfuse tracing from the Rust gateway.
+//!
+//! Langfuse is already running at `http://localhost:3001` with the
+//! staffing project — `mcp-server/tracing.ts` has been emitting traces
+//! for months. This file bridges the gap: every `/v1/chat` call now
+//! appears in the same Langfuse project, alongside traces from the
+//! Bun side.
+//!
+//! Design:
+//! - Fire-and-forget — emit spawns a tokio task. Response to client
+//!   never waits on Langfuse, never fails because of it. If Langfuse
+//!   is down or slow, we silently drop traces (and `tracing::warn!`).
+//! - Two events per call — `trace-create` + `generation-create`. The
+//!   generation nests under the trace so Langfuse UI shows the whole
+//!   thing as one clickable row.
+//! - No SDK — plain HTTP POST to `/api/public/ingestion` with Basic
+//!   auth. Keeps the Rust dependency graph small.
