The paper draft is ~373 lines, with several sections stubbed out (Introduction, Background, Obstruction analysis partly filled, Formal verification stub). Phase 5 items: - 5.1 Lean 4 formalization of new lemmas - 5.2 axiom audit - 5.3 Full paper draft with proofs, numerics appendix, Lean appendix - 5.4 Final honesty audit: every claim tagged and justified The draft is still quite skeletal: Introduction is empty, Background empty, Formal verification empty, abstract marked "[DRAFT abstract — session 008 state]" (stale note). Numerics appendix has content. The three results subsections are written. Phase 5 planning: I should propose a work plan and get user input on priorities. Per STATE.md NEXT ACTION: "Session 010: Phase 5 planning with the user — full paper honesty audit (5.4) vs Lean skeletons (5.1) vs new-research threads." The user said "let's work on Phase 5" — that picks Phase 5 but not which sub-item. Per §8.4a fork rule: do all forks one by one. Reasonable order for Phase 5: 5.3 (complete the paper draft: Introduction, Background, Formal verification sections, refresh abstract) → 5.4 (honesty audit pass over every claim) → 5.1/5.2 (Lean skeletons + axiom audit) if pursued. Actually, maybe do 5.4 audit AFTER the paper is complete, since auditing a draft with stubs is premature. So order: 5.3 first (fill stubs), then 5.4 audit, then 5.1/5.2 Lean. Lean skeletons (5.1) is a big task — formalizing new lemmas in Lean 4 on top of zeta-23-lean. That's heavy. Should ask user whether to pursue Lean in this session or focus on paper. Let me ask with AskUserQuestion: scope for Session 010 — options: 1. 5.3 paper completion (fill stubs, refresh abstract, references) then 5.4 honesty audit (Recommended) 2. Start with 5.4 honesty audit of existing results sections first 3. Lean skeletons (5.1/5.2) Actually, per fork rule, we should do all eventually. The question is ordering and whether Lean is in scope at all. Let me ask one question about order/scope.
The paper draft is real but skeletal — the three Results subsections and Obstruction analysis are written, while Introduction, Background, and Formal verification are stubs, and the abstract still carries a stale "session 008 state" tag. Phase 5 has four items: 5.1 Lean skeletons, 5.2 axiom audit, 5.3 full paper draft, 5.4 honesty audit. Per the fork rule we'll do them all, but ordering matters: auditing (5.4) makes most sense once the draft is complete (5.3), and Lean (5.1/5.2) is a large, separable workstream. One scoping question before I start.
