salvage: orphaned handoff + PR #100 rage-quit ledger

[klappy]

Salvaging orphaned artifacts

Two documents were created during sessions but never made it to main. This PR lands both cleanly.

1. Tonight's fresh-session continuation handoff

odd/handoffs/2026-04-19-fresh-session-continuation.md

Pushed to canon/dolcheo-ledger-open-items after #107 was squash-merged, leaving it orphaned on the branch. Self-contained doc that a fresh session can read to resume productive work without re-reading the full transcript. Covers:

• Where we are now (post-E0008.3 state, what shipped, verified prod)
• The governing prompt-over-code refactor arc that predates E0008.3 and still governs remaining work
• Priority 1–6 work (internal rename, DOLCHEO canon, teams-over-swarms, encode batch-mode, writing thread, infra)
• Operating notes for the fresh session (mode discipline, canon-first search, live-smoke ship-blocker, DOLCHEO tracking)
• Recommended first action

2. Historical: PR #100 rage-quit handoff ledger (2026-04-17)

odd/ledger/journal/2026-04-17-pr100-rage-quit-handoff.md

Lived on oddkit branch chore/handoff-journal-pr100, never merged. Salvaged here in isolation because the original branch is unsafe to merge (also deletes the audit doc and smoke test that are load-bearing on main).

The ledger captures the session that retrospectively justified E0008.3:

• 15+ bugs caught across three review surfaces (gauntlet, bugbot, Klappy)
• Defect-class blindness as the consistent failure pattern
• The voice-dump invariant story that directly motivated the canary refactor and the live-smoke ship-blocker contract now in canon/constraints/core-governance-baseline

Status: archival. salvaged_from frontmatter field records the original location so provenance is traceable.

Related cleanup after this merges

• Delete oddkit branches chore/handoff-journal-pr100 and fix/challenge-mode-schema-includes-writing-modes (content superseded or salvaged)
• Delete oddkit/docs/drafts/core-governance-baseline.md (stale pre-rename draft; canonical version lives in klappy.dev canon/constraints/core-governance-baseline.md)
• Delete the merged klappy.dev branch canon/dolcheo-ledger-open-items (content in main; handoff now salvaged)

These are all small housekeeping items for a follow-up, not blockers.

Note

Low Risk
Adds two documentation-only artifacts (handoff and archival journal) with no runtime or schema changes; risk is limited to potential confusion if linked processes/paths become stale.

Overview
Introduces a new odd/handoffs/2026-04-19-fresh-session-continuation.md that captures the just-shipped state and a prioritized checklist for resuming work (notably the remaining oddkit tool prompt-over-code refactor and an internal rename plan).

Adds an archival odd/ledger/journal/2026-04-17-pr100-rage-quit-handoff.md documenting the PR #100 incident, its constraints (blocked prod promotion), and follow-up hygiene items, preserving provenance via salvaged_from frontmatter.
