STOW v0.4.1

STOW v0.4.1

STOW v0.4.1 operationalises
controlled technical writing,
contextual anti-synthetic prose discipline,
focus and action shaping,
protected content,
and public-documentation
progressive disclosure.

This release completes the post-v0.4.0 absorption and evidence-hardening campaign while preserving the compact ordinary path.

What changed

Anti-synthetic writing

• Expanded the cold descriptive-prose carrier with
  explicit description, rationale,
  applicability, countercontext,
  rewrite principle,
  and owner mapping for
  functionless conclusions, empty process narration,
  hollow evaluation, manufactured contrast and escalation,
  mechanical symmetry, blanket hedging,
  heading opacity, and lexical inflation.
• Preserved
  functional summaries, supported expressive voice,
  genuine correction, required templates,
  justified uncertainty, literal technical senses,
  and protected text.
• Kept generated-marker matching advisory and protected compound identifiers.
  STOW does not infer authorship or impose universal punctuation, vocabulary, density, or burstiness rules.

Focus and action shaping

• Limited action-first ordering to contexts where it helps the reader.
  Explanation, decision support, and safety conditions can precede the action.
• Defined ordered steps by task-complete actions without a fixed item cap.
  Exhaustive inventories and required decision material remain complete.
• Deferred secondary issues without dropping them,
  surfaced only material changed state,
  and prevented pre-send self-review from deleting legitimately discursive or complex output.
• Recorded explicit conflict outcomes for safety/decision context and complete required output.
  Contextual self-review remains G1 guidance, not a delivery gate or final-output custody mechanism.

Controlled language and public documentation

• Preserved the Issue 9-derived requirement accounting,
  bundled 2,198-record cold dictionary, sparse lookup,
  project terminology authority, contextual boundaries,
  and locked strict-conformance profile.
• Preserved the direct cold public-documentation route
  under technical-clarity,
  with canonical-owner composition rather than a second ruleset or an audit subsystem.
• Preserved same-item noun-cluster repair and all targeted follow-up evidence without rescoring frozen Trial 2.

Architecture

• 65 active canonical rules.
• Sixty-one contextual G1 semantic owners and four genuine G2 predicates.
• Ten ordinary always-on G1 owners and fifty-one cold or predicate-loaded G1 owners.
• Ten advisory signals and fifty-seven behaviorally qualified G1 owners.
• Ordinary kernel: 1,084 tokens under the repository's exact tokenizer and 1,488 tokens under its conservative character proxy.
• No new profile, route, runtime helper, advisory detector, model turn, tool call, or ordinary cold-reference read was added by the deep-absorption work.

Behavioral evidence

Frozen comprehensive Trial 2 remains unchanged:

FROZEN TRIAL 2

• STOW, Numbered rules:
  49 PASS / 4 FAIL / 0 NOT_SCORED = 49/53 PASS

• STOW, Complete evaluation:
  80 PASS / 4 FAIL / 2 NOT_SCORED = 80/86 PASS

• name-only, Complete evaluation:
  78 PASS / 6 FAIL / 2 NOT_SCORED = 78/86 PASS.

Targeted later evidence covers all four former STOW failure distinctions.
This does not rescore Trial 2 as 84/86.

CURRENT EVIDENCE OVERLAY
Numbered rules: 53 supported / 0 failed / 0 NOT_SCORED = 53/53 supported
Complete evaluation: 84 supported / 0 failed / 2 NOT_SCORED = 84/86 supported

The current overlay is not a Trial-2 rescore.

The public-documentation V5 suite passed seven pathology cases and seven already-good controls.
The deep-absorption prose suite passed six pathology cases and six legitimate controls;
the action suite passed eight pathology cases and eight controls.

Every declared literal passed mechanical custody, and two blinded Luna Max reviewers per deep-absorption suite accepted every case
without retrying or tuning the candidate.

Known boundaries

• STOW-PRO-005 remains an open contextual limitation.
• STOW-WRD-001 remains an external project-authority boundary.
• STOW-WRD-003 and STOW-VRB-005 remain contextual deferrals.
• Strict controlled-language conformance stays locked.
• Universal automatic activation, cross-host behavioral equivalence,
  cross-model proof, rendered-consumer equivalence, and G3 final-output custody
  are not established.
• STOW does not claim universal output superiority or AI-authorship detection.
