llms-can-compute-repro

Careful reproduction of a narrow execution-substrate reading of Percepta's Can LLMs Be Computers? field note.

The repository no longer targets any broad "LLMs are computers" claim. The current honest package is narrower: append-only trace semantics and exact 2D hard-max retrieval remain supported on admitted surfaces, while the strongest justified executor-value lane is closed negative.

P84 contracts the mounted keep set to the promotion-ready p83 branch plus the preserved operational branches p75, p74, p73, p72, p69, and p56, while unmounting the temporary p81 and p82 worktrees. P83 materializes the clean promotion branch and PR handoff after the successful P82 probe. P81 rebaselines the locked facts after P80, records the published p75 head at 53962ca, and keeps the route at explicit stop plus clean-descendant promotion-prep only. P77 normalizes the active keep set around p75, p74, p73, p72, p69, and p56, with remote provenance explicitly preserved. P78 converges mounted worktrees to that balanced mounted keep set and keeps only the dirty root checkout plus wip/h27-promotion as quarantined survivors. P79 packages the paper-facing partial falsification boundary and the future reopen screen. P80 syncs all next-planmode prompts to the honest default: explicit stop, no further action, or at most hygiene-only / archive polish / merge-prep documentation work.

Execution Posture

There are no open runtime tasks on this branch.

Runtime remains closed. Dirty-root integration remains out of bounds. The only surviving future discussion is a strictly non-runtime gate, and it is not a runtime authorization. Current local follow-through should run only from clean descendants recorded in docs/branch_worktree_registry.md, with promotion/PR finalization from wip/p83-post-p82-promotion-branch-and-pr-handoff as the only active engineering route beyond no further action.
