Task 2.3: two of the five unscorable reasons had no code path, so an unparsable
row was reported as a corpus labelling defect when the true cause was a tooling
gap. They have different owners and different fixes, and conflating them is the
dishonesty this spec exists to remove. The design's unscorable_reason is
reinstated with the parse result as an input, and a handler that arrived without
its registration is now named as missing context for the families whose bug
shape is a missing check.
Task 2.6: a verification stamped its own word for proof onto the shared evidence
level, which is not a value the project's ladder defines, and three existing
helpers raised on it. Nothing in production called it yet, so the suite stayed
green while the wiring in the next group would have broken a scan. A
verification now writes only its tag, and a caller that wants to move a claim up
the ladder goes through an explicit mapping that can only produce a level the
ladder has.
Task 2.7: the injection canary planted its row in a private in-memory database
the target could never reach, so it could not fire; the fake sandbox handed the
token back regardless of the snippet, which is why nothing noticed. It is now an
execution canary whose marker only an interpreter could write, and each template
is tested by running it for real against a vulnerable fixture and its fixed
twin. That test immediately caught a second flaw: a handler that merely echoes
its input printed the oracle token and satisfied the oracle without any
vulnerability, so an injected payload now carries a value unrelated to the token
the oracle looks for.
Also from the review: a configuration with no tools is refused instead of
producing a detector that silently reports nothing, the classifier abstains when
its fallback call fails too, and the archive docstring says which version wins.

The maintainer settled both items the group 1 review escalated.
The family that covers server-side request forgery is named untrusted
destination and also covers open redirect, because both are untrusted input
choosing where a request goes and the corpus carries 34 open-redirect rows that
would otherwise be unclassifiable. The requirement, the brief and the design
example now say so, and the approval note records the amendment.
The shipped taxonomy is flat, so no answer can earn hierarchical partial credit.
Rather than leave that as prose, two new acceptance criteria require every
agreement figure and every family figure to say it, and both report types now
carry the flag, computed from the taxonomy rather than asserted. A taxonomy that
later declares a parent flips it without any other change.

Task 3.1. A teacher is a vendored pair, at a review tier a maintainer stands
behind, on the train split, and scorable. Every learning path now asks the same
module that one question, so the split cannot be enforced in one place and
forgotten in another. A refusal is data rather than an exception: the path
records which holdout pairs a candidate touched and moves on, so a leak is
visible in the run instead of silently accepted.
The exporter refuses to seed from a holdout pair, leave-one-out teaches from the
train split while still scoring every pair, and the mechanism lever refuses a
candidate a holdout pair taught, because such a shape can only recover the pair
that produced it.
Measured and committed: on the vibe-py holdout the lever's own number falls from
seven detected and a Youden of +0.059 to five detected and -0.059 once holdout
pairs stop teaching, and the candidate set shrinks from ten shapes to six. That
gap is the inflation this rule removes.
Two existing tests encoded the leak and now encode the truth. The documented
export-to-improve flow had a single holdout pair teaching itself, and now needs
a train pair to teach and a holdout pair to recover. The obligation export
claimed the corpus seeds at least one obligation shape, which was true only
because holdout pairs were teaching: every vibe-py absence pair that yields an
obligation lesson sits on the holdout side, so the honest number today is zero.
The derivation stays covered by fixtures; the corpus gap belongs to the absence
re-harvest and to a maintainer pass over the splits.

Task 2.8. The journal is append-only, one line per round, and a round number is
never reused, so the record of what was tried cannot be quietly rewritten by the
thing that is trying. Every round writes a line whether it was accepted or not,
because a rejection is evidence too, and the rejected hypotheses are what stop
the proposer from being handed the same idea twice.
The archive keeps, per family, which configuration version wins which pair,
rather than one champion. Keeping only the best-overall candidate throws away a
version that is the only one solving some pair, which is how a search collapses
onto a single lineage. A later version takes a pair only by winning it.
Nothing is written without passing redaction, because a hypothesis or a
trajectory may quote the code it was reasoning about.

Task 2.7. A canary is how a family says the vulnerability fired. Injection
plants a row in an in-memory database that only an unconstrained query returns,
file path plants a file under the scratch mount that only a traversal reaches,
and deserialization plants an object that only an unsafe load reconstructs. Each
prints its token on that path and no other, and the token is derived from the
claim, so one family's oracle can never answer for another and one claim's
canary can never answer for the next. A snippet that cannot reach the function
prints nothing, which is a suspicion rather than a proof.
Every template passes the existing snippet safety check before it can run, and
the candidate is always imported from the read-only source mount.
Nothing reaches proven on a machine's say-so alone. A second, independent
judgement reads the snippet and what the sandbox printed and either confirms or
drops the claim back to corroboration; a judge that cannot answer never promotes
anything. The judge is told the claim and the output, never the answer key.
Templates and oracle code live in the package, outside every directory a round
may write.

Task 2.6. A detector's claim is a suspicion until something other than the model
agrees with it, and what counts as agreement depends on the family. The regress
verdict now takes an optional oracle over the sandbox result: when a family
supplies one it decides triggerability instead of the exit code, because a crash
and a demonstrated injection are different evidence and one family's oracle must
not answer for another. Without an oracle the exit code decides exactly as
before, and an inconclusive run stays inconclusive either way.
The registry answers by the verifier kind the taxonomy declares. Access control
gets static corroboration when the obligations checker looks at the same
function and agrees the obligation is undischarged, and refuses to corroborate a
handler that owes nothing. A family whose verifier does not exist yet reports at
suspicion rather than pretending, which is the honest default rather than a gap.
A verification is written onto a copy of the claim as a tag, never onto the
original.

Task 2.5. A detector is a configuration, not code: a system prompt, an evidence
checklist, the curated tools it may call, its step and cost budget, and the hard
negatives and counterexamples earlier rounds left it. The loader refuses a
directory that is not a family, a prompt over the length cap, a tool outside the
curated set and a configuration with no version, each by name. An unbounded
prompt is the documented signature of overfitting, so the cap is enforced at
load rather than trusted.
Round zero writes one directory per family from the same prompt, so the baseline
is controlled and every later round rewrites exactly one directory and bumps
that family's version; every other family is frozen by construction because a
round can only touch what it targets.
The runner gives a detector the whole file rather than an excerpt around a
hotspot, since context loss is a documented cause of misjudging patched code,
and tags each finding with exactly one family and the configuration version
that produced it. A region runs every family the classifier admitted plus the
generalist, and never a tool outside the curated set.
Deviation from the file plan: the parts live in one family.toml plus the
markdown and JSON-lines files, because two TOML files with three keys between
them was more surface than value and the version had no home in the plan's list.
Configurations live under the project's learning directory, not inside the
package, because a round writes them.

A mechanism claimed by two families now fails as loudly as a weakness claimed
twice, with a named offender. Two behaviours that were correct but unasserted
are pinned: the obligations tool refuses a path outside the repository, and a
provider that refuses to build degrades to no endpoint instead of raising into
a scan. The TypeScript parse assertion is now exact rather than a quarter-of-
the-slice allowance, which surfaces one real corpus defect: a TSX excerpt
harvested as a truncated destructuring parameter list is not valid TypeScript
on its own, and belongs to the re-harvest rather than to the grammar.

Review of task 1.3 found the twin detector stripping every leading comment
line, which in C and C++ swallows include and define directives, and in any
language swallows an ordinary leading comment. Two files whose only difference
was a buffer size on a define hashed equal and were marked unscorable, which
removed a real pair from every denominator: the exact dishonesty this spec
exists to end, running backwards. Measured before the fix: twelve file sides
across six vendored pairs had directives inside the stripped prefix, including
the Juliet stack-overflow pair whose whole point is the buffer size.
The strip is now anchored to the grammar the harvester writes: a leading
comment line counts as header only when it carries one of the provenance keys
followed by a colon, and the scan stops at the first line that is code. Block
and hash comment forms both work. Three regression tests pin the boundary in
both directions, and a fourth asserts no vendored excerpt loses a directive.
The five identical twins, the ten duplicate groups and the nineteen straddling
repositories are unchanged, so the committed hygiene artifact still holds.

Task 2.4. Per family, and per slice when asked: outcome counts, recall, silence,
Youden, a directional-bias index and recall at a fixed false-positive ceiling.
Rows that cannot be scored are listed by reason and leave every denominator, and
a family with nothing scorable reports no rate rather than a perfect one.
Two numbers exist because Youden cannot tell apart a detector that flags
everything from one that says everything is safe: the directional-bias index
separates them, and recall at a fixed ceiling is forfeited entirely once a
family leaks more than the budget allows.
Change against a baseline is not a difference of means. Flips are counted per
pair in both directions and a two-sided exact sign test decides whether the
change is bigger than the noise, so one flip in ten reads as noise and six reads
as a real regression.

Task 2.3. A pair is scored once per family. Detection means a finding whose
family tag relates to the labeled family and whose line sits inside the labeled
function; the words in a finding are never read, because a text token is exactly
the proxy that made the old hunter number meaningless. Silence means no such
finding on the fixed side, and findings of other families or outside the labeled
function are counted separately and never called leaks. A fabricated family id
counts as neither, and is recorded as noise worth naming.
Every evaluation runs a pair several times, because a single run misses most
real changes. The recorded outcome is the majority of the runs and the runs that
disagree with it are the pair's own flakiness, which is what the regression
budget will be built from. A pair that cannot be scored keeps its reason and is
never run, and a labeled function no parsed range names is unscorable rather
than a silent miss.

Task 2.2. The report covers the whole corpus and scores the classifier only
where a maintainer label exists. Agreement uses the classifier's first answer,
the oracle number uses the best of its answers, and the random baseline is a
uniform pick over the nine real families, so a router error is visible on its
own rather than hidden inside a detector number. Credit is hierarchical: full
for the same family, half for a parent or child, none for a lateral or
fabricated id.
When it is being measured, the classifier no longer reads the declared label it
is scored against, otherwise agreement would be the classifier reading back its
own answer sheet. With no maintainer labels in the corpus yet the report says
the reference set is empty instead of inventing a score, and every disagreement
is queued once with both answers and the deciding tier for a human to settle.
Measured on the 277 vendored pairs: tier one places 275 of them without a single
model call, only two land in unknown, and the 176 memory-safety rows resolve to
one family instead of reading as an unclassified catch-all.

Task 2.1. Tier one decides from what the repository already knows: a declared
family label, an obligation kind, a mechanism id, the rule a finding came from,
or the labeled weakness, and it never spends a model call. Tier two asks one
closed question in JSON mode with thinking disabled, and abstains when the
answer names an id outside the taxonomy or the reply's mean token
log-probability says the model was guessing. Tier three is abstention. Every
answer records which tier decided it.
Answers are multi-label and come back in taxonomy order, so two runs of the
same question compare equal. The classifier proposes and never writes a label,
and it owns validation of the labels the corpus carries, because the corpus
stores a family as an opaque string.

Task 1.5. Four tools join the three the hunter already had. Resolving a
definition by symbol returns its file, line span and body, decorators included,
so a detector stops guessing what a callee or a route handler does. Listing
entry points, flows and obligations answers with identifiers and line spans
only, so a structural tool can never become a second way to dump the
repository. Every path a caller supplies is clamped to the scan root first.
The loop now takes the system prompt, the user prompt, the files to start from,
the tool subset, the character limit and the tags its findings carry, each
defaulting to today's behaviour, and it replays the provider's reasoning field
on the next turn because the provider otherwise drops its own chain of thought
across a tool call. A detector configuration is exactly this set of knobs.

Task 1.4. The optional extra gains the TypeScript grammar wheel, which ships two
grammars: a file with JSX needs the JSX-aware one and plain TypeScript needs the
other, so the parser picks by file suffix while the parsed file keeps the
language it was given. The walker already treated TypeScript as JavaScript, so
nothing else changes.
Eighteen agent-vfc rows and every TypeScript absence row were counted as
unsupported before this and could not be scored at all. They now parse on both
sides. The core install stays zero-dependency and the extra-free suite still
skips these tests.

Task 1.3. An expected row may carry a family label, stored opaquely because the
classifier owns the taxonomy and the corpus module never imports the learning
package. Every pair carries a computed reason when it cannot be scored: a
declared known limit wins, otherwise identical twin when the two excerpts are
the same code once the provenance header is stripped. No row is ever dropped.
Two corpus defects the new accounting surfaces, committed as an artifact beside
the numbers they cap. Nineteen repositories sit on both sides of the split, so a
learning path could be taught by one file of a repository and evaluated on
another. Ten groups of pairs share a vulnerable excerpt byte for byte, mostly
the same fix harvested twice at different granularity.
The split helper keeps every declared split, lets rows that named none inherit
their repository's side, and otherwise assigns a whole repository at once,
oldest first, so nothing straddles by our doing. Pair signals can now be
restricted to one split, which is what lets a learning path teach from train
rows only.

Task 1.2. Detectors, the classifier's model tier, the proposer and the judge
resolve one chat endpoint: an explicit override first, then the scripted client
flag, then an endpoint named in the config, then DeepSeek, then OpenRouter.
Prove-order retrieval keeps its own embedding endpoint untouched, because the
chat provider we default to offers none.
The adapter handles the provider's documented quirks: thinking is on by default
there and silently ignores temperature, so it is disabled explicitly; the
reasoning field is kept on the reply for the caller to replay across tool turns;
JSON mode has no schema and occasionally returns empty content, so one retry is
built in, never a loop; token log-probabilities are requested only when the
caller wants them, and their mean is what lets the classifier abstain.
Cost comes from the provider's own usage fields, cache hits priced separately,
and a model with no recorded price reports no cost rather than a made-up one.
The endpoint record deliberately holds no key, so it is safe to journal.

Task 1.1. Ten families are the only key that routes work and scores a pair;
CWE ids and mechanism ids are attributes reached through a family. Each family
names what can confirm a claim in it: a sandbox canary for injection, file path
and deserialization, static corroboration for access control, nothing for the
rest. The unknown family carries the mechanisms that span families and the
weaknesses this project deliberately does not target, so a declined row is
visible instead of silently unresolved.
Every labeled corpus weakness resolves, no weakness id is claimed twice, and
every mechanism in the closed vocabulary belongs to exactly one family. Open
redirect joins server-side request forgery under one untrusted-destination
family because both are untrusted input choosing a request destination; that
places 34 real rows instead of discarding them. The relation lookup answers
same, parent-child, lateral or fabricated, and abstention earns no partial
credit: unknown against a real family is lateral.

Resource, MethodView, APIView or ViewSet subclass, the handler identifier on a
JavaScript router registration with its middleware as access evidence, and the
exported HTTP-verb functions of a Next.js route module.

finding is never mistaken for the corpus teaching. Recall, silence and Youden

accept an additive obligation field validated against the closed operation

question, is this route meant to be public, and the answer is recorded as

pattern or a policy. The prompt carries the handler's own lines only and is
redacted before it leaves the process. Without a client one degradation is
recorded and the findings are identical.

Obligation findings rank by resource sensitivity times label weight, declared

it alone recovers a currently missed holdout pair without leaking.
- run_round(mechanism_candidates=, mechanism_store=): validates, applies
after the rule gate passed, re-scores the holdout pairs per profile with
variant search (evaluate_mechanism_profiles), and rejects with a
byte-for-byte revert on mechanism_leak, profile_regression or
mechanism_no_gain; the journal records each mechanism edit with its
pair provenance and the metrics before and after.
- The rule gate and its per-profile clause are unchanged.

Task 4.1 (Req 5.1, 5.2, 5.5).
- validator: MechanismEdit (admit | retract by record id) under the
`mechanisms` lever; validate_mechanism accepts only records from the
exporter candidate set with origin corpus, a closed guard and source
kinds, and identifier-only shape text; free-form shapes are rejected.
- apply_mechanism_edits appends the record (admit) or a retracted
tombstone (retract) so the log stays append-only; StoreSnapshot.restore
reverts byte for byte. MechanismStore.load folds tombstones away.

Task 3.1 (Req 4.1-4.4).
- semantic/loo.py: every scorable pair is held out once; a temporary
store is seeded from the other seeded/reviewed pairs (advisory and
title pairs are scored as targets, never teach; known_limit skipped);
both excerpts are searched for variants and scored with the pair rules
(detected inside the labeled function naming the labeled mechanism or
sink; silent when the fixed side yields no hit); found_by and leaked_by
name the records and the pairs that taught them; metrics per slice,
profile and mechanism; score_pair_with_store is shared with the lever.
- cli: `pairs --slice S --loo [--loo-out P]` writes loo.json; never a gate.
- First measurement: vibe-py 35 pairs, 11 detected, 21 silent, Youden
-0.086, 16 teaching pairs.

- variant_search.search_tree skips a malformed store row with a
variants_store_row_invalid degradation instead of aborting the scan;
a hit on a demoted or flowless overlay record is never merged (test).
- seed.pair_lessons is the one shape derivation shared by the exporter
and leave-one-out; labels pass line and sink together; pairs without a
labeled function are reported as no_labeled_function.
- config parses [variants].max_mechanisms with the shared int helper.
- regress.candidate.hotspot_from_finding is the one zero-score hotspot
helper for forced inventory and variant findings.
- design synced (SearchResult, hits_to_findings summaries, candidate.py).

Task 2.3 (Req 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 6.2).
- [variants] enabled / max_mechanisms config; MAP runs variant search
after the overlay in standard and deep scans only, appends the variant
findings, rewrites overlay.json with merged ids, and the manifest
records mechanisms_searched, files_searched, findings and
merged_into_overlay.
- REGRESS: variant findings join the candidate list after the promotions
as zero-score hotspots, under the existing safety check and cap.
- Spec notes for group 2 and the design synced (variant_search.py,
seed.py, derive_shape signature).

Task 2.2 (Req 3.1-3.3, 3.6).
- variants.match_shapes: call sites whose trailing callee name and arity
match a shape and whose source positions all carry a source of any
kind; constants and arity mismatches never match.
- semantic/variant_search.py: search_tree over a tree's parsed files with
the store's corpus shapes (bounded by max_mechanisms, language
degradations recorded); hits_to_findings merges a hit into an overlay
promote/coverage record at the same call site (mechanism_id, no
duplicate) and otherwise emits variant:<id>:<path>:<line> at suspicion
with the pair provenance in the rationale.
- OverlayRecord.mechanism_id (additive).

Task 2.1 (Req 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 2.5).
- semantic/seed.py: export_mechanisms seeds only seeded/reviewed,
non-known-limit, parsing pairs with cached excerpts; every skip carries
a reason (tier, known_limit, parse_failed, language unsupported with a
degradation, pointer not cached, no labeled sink call site); runs
offline over the vendored catalog.
- variants.derive_shape: labels that name only a function and a mechanism
resolve to the fact-sink call inside that function (CWE match and a
non-constant argument first); line and sink intersect when both exist;
container reads are subscript or .get( only.
- append_from_pair keeps the strongest review tier and accumulates
provenance tags when a shape is re-seeded.
- CLI: `ousast mechanisms export --slice S [--store P] [--json]`.

Task 1.2 (Req 1.3, 1.4).
- Mechanism gains origin, review_tier, pairs, shape, guard with defaults;
rows written before this spec load unchanged.
- MechanismStore.load folds the append-only log by id (latest row wins)
so a re-seeded shape carries every pair that taught it.
- append_from_pair writes origin=corpus rows with a deterministic id
derived from the shape key; corpus_mechanisms selects searchable rows.

Task 1.1 (Req 2.1-2.4). Spec approved by the maintainer in session.
- semantic/variants.py: Shape (language, sink trailing name, arity,
source positions and kinds, closed guard kind, mechanism id) with a
stable text-free key; derive_shape finds the labeled sink call site in
the vulnerable FileIR, traces argument identifiers through binds to a
fact source, a parameter or a container read, and classifies the guard
the fixed side added from the labeled function's added statements
against a closed set (none when unknown). No path, line or literal
enters a shape; a constant-only call teaches nothing.

Task 8.4 (Req 10.6, 5.1).
- harvest.merge_recipes appends recipes by name and never rewrites
existing rows.
- vibe-py/build_recipes.py --pointers: the 40 LLM-generated repositories
without a license become vendored = false rows (80 pairs, agent,
seeded) appended to recipes.toml; unlicensed human repos stay skipped.
- agent-vfc/build_recipes.py --from ... --pointers [--cache]: unlicensed
agent-authored fixes become title-tier pointer rows whose function
label is derived from the cached excerpt (30 added from a fresh
662-candidate search); TOML booleans rendered correctly.
- catalogs regenerated: vibe-py 115 rows (35 vendored + 80 pointer),
agent-vfc 59 (29 + 30); no excerpt is vendored for any pointer row.
- `pairs --slice vibe-py --pointers` scores both provenances (human 35,
agent 80); the default run skips 80 pairs with pointer_pair_skipped;
suite and gates unchanged. README/docs name the nightly command.

Task 8.3 (Req 10.1-10.5).
- pairs.py: catalog rows with vendored = false carry their harvest recipe
and no excerpts; evaluate_catalog harvests them into
OPENULTRASAST_PAIR_CACHE (default ~/.cache/openultrasast/pairs) only
when `pairs --pointers` or OPENULTRASAST_PAIRS_NETWORK=1 allows the
network, otherwise records pointer_pair_skipped (a failed fetch is
pointer_pair_fetch_failed with detail); a warm cache never scores
without the switch. select_vendored for tests and gates.
- harvest.py: materialize_pointer harvests into the cache without the
license requirement (nothing is redistributed); redaction applies.
- catalog_gen.py: emits pointer rows with recipe fields; training
manifests skip them.
- pair_gate and improve/evolve.evaluate_profiles score vendored pairs
only; cli `pairs --pointers`; .gitignore covers the cache path.
- tests: loader, skip/degradation, cache hit, fetch failure, warm cache
with network off, profile gate exclusion, harvest and generator paths;
conftest keeps every test offline whatever the shell exports.

Task 8.2 (Req 9.3).
- improve/evolve.py: evaluate_profiles filters holdout pairs to
GATING_TIERS before computing per-profile metrics, so advisory and
title pairs are scored by `pairs` but never gate a round; a regression
on reviewed pairs still rejects with profile_regression:<profile>.
- tests: a regression confined to title pairs is accepted; the same
regression on reviewed pairs is rejected and the title pairs are
excluded from the gated profile rather than outvoted.

Tasks 8.1, 7.1 (tests) and the re-scoped 5.3.
- pairs.py: review_tier in {seeded, advisory, title, reviewed} with
per-slice defaults (local reviewed, vibe-py seeded, sast/vfc/vfc-js/
github advisory, agent-vfc title); reviewer = "pending" means title, a
named reviewer means reviewed, reviewed without a reviewer is rejected;
per_tier metrics in the payload; select_tier and GATING_TIERS for the
improve loop.
- catalog_gen.py: stamps review_tier (and reviewer) on every generated
row and training manifest row; title rows enter catalog.toml; the
catalog-candidates.toml queue is retired; precedence matches the loader.
- agent-vfc: 29 title-tier rows load and score (0/29, Youden 0.0, the
honest unreviewed baseline); local rows name their reviewer.
- Tests: tier defaults, loader rejections, per_tier payload, the Req 8.1
catalog-on-disk / stage-1 exclusion proof and per-slice CLI checks.

Task 6.3.
- improve/evolve.py: evaluate_profiles and profile_regressions score the
holdout pair split per provenance profile every round; a drop in pair
pass rate or Youden beyond --profile-tolerance rejects the round with
reason profile_regression:<profile>; profiles under
--min-holdout-pairs are reported, not gated; journal records both.
- cli improve: --pair-catalog, --no-pair-gate, --profile-tolerance,
--min-holdout-pairs; a missing catalog fails loud instead of skipping
the gate.

Task 6.1.
- provenance.py: classify a checkout as human / agent / mixed / unknown
from deterministic signals only (.claude/, AGENTS.md, Lovable meta,
agent git trailers on a bounded commit sample); no model involved.
- cli scan runs a `provenance` stage; the manifest records the result.

Tasks 1.2, 2.1-2.5 and 6.2 (pair-side filters).
- pairs.py: coverage with a source counts as detection and as leak;
function-scoped matching by line-range containment from the vulnerable
side's parse (unresolvable labels are counted loss, never silent
misses); exact or alias sink matching; weak CWE-only labels never match;
side-by-side inventory/overlay/hunter scorers; per_profile,
per_mechanism, achievable, known_limit and loss payload; loader rejects
unknown mechanism/provenance/split and reserved or missing function
labels on harvested slices; candidate rulesets thread through for the
improve loop.
- overlay.py: OverlayRecord.function (additive) filled from the shared
naming helper in one parse; benchmark.py: ExpectedFinding.mechanism.
- cli pairs: --slice over every slice, --profile, --split, --hunter,
--hunter-model.
- catalogs migrated to the new schema (provenance, split, function,
mechanism, known_limit for owasp-java-hash); baseline recorded in the
spec notes.
