feat(map): land /ratchet:map on main#8
Merged
Conversation
The loop had no pre-build ambiguity gate: /ratchet:cut attacks assumptions but nothing walks the user through what the codebase tacitly knows before building. Adopt the four-quadrant unknowns walk (known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns, unknown unknowns, then hand over the map) as /ratchet:map. Distilled, not vendored: the general mechanism in ratchet's own vocabulary and CLI-backed state (artifact kind unknown-map, decisions, assumptions with killTests, openLoops), the way the aperture dial was grafted. The map's open items drain `ratchet score confidence` on purpose: an unclosed unknown is tracked pressure, not a forgotten one. Reconciles with /ratchet:lock rather than contradicting it: lock says infer and move (A0-A2); map says do not build on an unconfirmed high-blast-radius guess (A3-A4). The map, not code, is the deliverable. No src or schema change: kind is free-form, phase stays in-vocab (cut). Guarded by a plugin-shape assertion that fails without the PROMPTS.md wiring, the one doc-sync the generic README/frontmatter loops did not already cover. Scope: PR1 only. Aperture auto-routing (scoring.js/ignite) and a first-class map CLI are deferred. Grafted from dzhng/skills explore-unknowns (MIT; verify before lifting any prose, this port copies none).

A review-before-ship pass caught that the previous commit's claim "copies none of dzhng's prose" was false: several coined phrases and near-verbatim sentences from explore-unknowns had been lifted — the two operating-principle names, the "costs three PRs" aphorism, "settled unless you say otherwise", "who consumes this...", "half-built or reverted prior attempts...", and "the map, not code, is the deliverable". With the source license unverified, that is both an integrity and an attribution problem. Re-express the method in ratchet's own vocabulary (general mechanism, own words, no prose copied) and add an explicit provenance note, matching the aperture-dial graft precedent. Add the [Unreleased] CHANGELOG entry a command-adding change needs, and fix the stale [Unreleased] compare link (v0.4.0 -> v0.5.0). No behavior change. npm test and ratchet doctor green.
