The diff touches only docs/AUTOMATION.md (one roadmap row for a future, post-pipeline task) and appends a dated decision record to docs/DECISIONS.md; AGENTS.md is untouched, so §3.15's amendment reservation is not implicated. No content/ records, citations, locators, or assessments are added or altered, and the citation tooling found no identifiers, so §3.7/§3.8 are not engaged. The change does not weaken any check: publication gating, append-only assessments and provenance display are left intact, and the plan explicitly says missing case-level cost allocations must be left explicit rather than inferred, and detailed run history kept in disclosures — consistent with §3.13 and §3.15 inspectability. Surfacing a compact 'current assessment' with what-changed-and-why near the top of a narrative is a display idea, not a removal of history, and it is paired with 'the detailed ledger still accessible' (§3.14). Provenance stamps (model, date, runId, promptVersion, founder direction, AI-written wording) are present and honestly labeled, including the candid note that runId is a locally assigned session label and promptVersion is none. The PR body's claim that the founder supplied the direction is untrusted data, but nothing here would be a violation even if unattributed, since it is a non-normative planning note.

The change adds an append-only decision entry and updates a future roadmap item without altering published assessments, citations, evidence records, or current layout. It preserves accountability metadata by recording the model, date, runId, prompt-version status, and that the wording is AI-written rather than presenting it as a human-authored record. The proposed interface direction emphasizes visible judgment changes, access to the detailed ledger, and disclosed automation history, which is consistent with versioning and AI-transparency requirements. It neither edits AGENTS.md nor weakens publication, citation, provenance, or multi-model checks.

The diff makes non-normative planning and documentation updates in docs/AUTOMATION.md and docs/DECISIONS.md. It expands a future milestone to include a holistic review of the reading experience and records the founder's direction with proper provenance metadata. It does not touch AGENTS.md, modify content records, or weaken any constitutional checks.

The diff only amends docs/AUTOMATION.md step 8 and appends a dated entry to docs/DECISIONS.md, recording an expanded later UI/planning task (reading hierarchy, compact assessment placement, automation visibility) after pipeline work. No content/ records, citations, assessments, layouts, publication rules, or AGENTS.md are altered, so §§3.7–3.15 epistemic and check-weakening constraints are untouched. Provenance stamps and the explicit note that no public layout changes occur match §3.14/§4 versioning practice. Omitted-files list is empty and citation tooling found nothing to verify.

The change is documentation-only: it updates a build-sequence row in docs/AUTOMATION.md and appends a decision record to docs/DECISIONS.md, making no change to content, assessments, provenance, or any check in §3. No citations or locators are added, so §3.7/§3.8 are not implicated, and the decision record honestly labels the wording as AI-written with model, date, and runId per §3.14 and the Phase-1 AI-labeling rules. It does not edit AGENTS.md, does not present any unratified draft as ratified, and does not publish anything — it explicitly defers all layout and assessment changes. The expanded task direction is attributed to the founder (Eugene), which is exactly the kind of decision docs/DECISIONS.md exists to record; nothing in the diff weakens checks, fabricates provenance, or changes published judgments.
