# Publication-record reconciliation

**Task:** 13  
**Reconciled:** August 15, 2026  
**Repository anchor:** `1fb400265361be7073a11835b9b0079a20c3cddb`  
**Purpose:** give the dated decision, evidence, implementation, and public-copy records one current interpretation without rewriting their historical bodies.

## Frozen public facts

| Fact | Reconciled value | Governing records | Current implementation evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| New-book title | *How to Receive and Give Warnings Without Surrendering Judgment* | authoritative decision §2; final slate; copy matrix C01 | canonical declaration; final PDF QA |
| Author | Guptajyotiḥ | authoritative decision §7; final slate; copy matrix C02 | PDF metadata/title matter; final PDF QA |
| Authorial-name statement | “Guptajyotiḥ is the authorial name Larry Todd Wilson uses for the Language of Fear books.” | authoritative decision §8; copy matrix C03 | PDF publication matter; later product/evidence pages must repeat exactly |
| Format and price | PDF only at launch; **$24** one-time purchase | final slate; condition record; copy matrix C06–C07 | new Stripe object not yet created; existing-book $24 identity remains separate |
| Relationship | Existing book primarily declarative; new book procedural; separate and complementary; new book stands alone | authoritative decision §§3–6; condition record; copy matrix C04–C05 | report preface/correction record; later offer surfaces must match |
| Entitlement | Separate purchase; no automatic existing-buyer entitlement; no bundle | authoritative decision §§9–14; final slate; copy matrix C08–C09 | no new checkout exists yet; Task 18–20 enforcement pending |
| Edition policy | Free corrections and minor revisions to that edition; new editions separate purchases | authoritative decision; copy matrix C10 | final PDF and corrected existing-book surfaces |
| Refunds | `No refunds are available.` | authoritative decision §15; implementation ruling §1; copy matrix C11 | final PDF; corrected existing pages; new public/checkout pages pending |
| Purchaser use | Exact one-purchaser personal-use/no-redistribution term | authoritative decision §16; implementation ruling §1; copy matrix C12 | final PDF; corrected existing pages; new public/checkout pages pending |
| Warning Exchange | Free and public; visible **Transformation Contract TLOF-WE-0.2**; bounded and fallible | authoritative decision §18; condition record; copy matrix C13–C15 | live page observed; complete 18/18 and endpoint recheck remains Task 17 |
| Evidence package | Report, 36-row worksheet, verification record, three verbatim outside readings, and condition-resolution record, with current corrections and provenance | authoritative decision §§23–25; copy matrix C17–C20 | report chronology/citations complete; package/index Tasks 14–16 pending |
| Release state | Decision-complete; implemented package not certified; no announcement until clean 48-hour soft launch | final slate; verification RevB; handoff; ledger | Tasks 1–12 PASS when this record opened; no release declaration |

## Stable route assignments for implementation

These paths implement—not expand—the ruled public surfaces. Task 16 owns route/canonical verification; Tasks 18 and 21 own product and delivery files.

| Surface | Stable route |
|---|---|
| New-book product | `/language-of-fear/how-to-receive-and-give-warnings` |
| New-book checkout transition | `/language-of-fear/how-to-receive-and-give-warnings/buy` |
| New-book delivery/recovery | `/language-of-fear/how-to-receive-and-give-warnings/success` |
| New-book PDF | `/how-to-receive-and-give-warnings-19f48e03.pdf` |
| Evidence index | `/language-of-fear/evidence` |
| Historical report | `/language-of-fear/evidence/report` |
| Report corrections | `/language-of-fear/evidence/report-corrections` |
| Report citation log | `/language-of-fear/evidence/report-citations` |
| Warning Exchange | `/language-of-fear/warning` |
| Existing-book product/buy/success | `/language-of-fear/book`; `/language-of-fear/buy`; `/language-of-fear/success` |

The PDF route contains a short content-hash token for stable file recovery, not access control. Public copy must not describe the URL as protected.

## Record-by-record reconciliation

| Record | Dated role | Reconciled reading | Correction pointer |
|---|---|---|---|
| `AUTHORITATIVE_DECISION_RECORD_2026-08-14.md` | final authorial/publication decisions | governing facts remain current | implementation details supplied by Aug 15 rulings and copy matrix |
| `IMPLEMENTATION_VERIFICATION_RULINGS_2026-08-15.md` | eight implementation-policy rulings | governing for refunds, rights, historical report, commerce audit, sequence, placement, and Field Notes | no correction |
| `CONDITION_RESOLUTION_RECORD_2026-08-14.md` | August 14 condition states | historical status column remains; current completion is task-evidence based | dated pointer added; ledger is current status source |
| `DECISION_WORKSHEET_publication_campaign_2026-08-14_REVB.md` | complete 36-row slate at earlier anchor `62bd9e2` | artifact dispositions remain; anchor and “state/evidence” cells are dated observations | dated pointer added; current anchor and task evidence live here/ledger |
| `VERIFICATION_PACKAGE_publication_slate_2026-08-14_REVB.md` | decision-stage verification and outside-reading synthesis | “decision-complete, not certified” remains accurate; it is not implemented-package review | dated pointer added; Task 27 owns new implemented-package readings |
| three `OUTSIDE_READING_*_2026-08-14.md` files | verbatim independent decision-stage readings | verdicts remain exactly **READY WITH NAMED CONDITIONS** | no edits; conditions resolved only through separate records |
| `THE_LANGUAGE_OF_FEAR_PUBLICATION_SLATE_FINAL_2026-08-14.md` | ruled sequence and 36-item disposition | still governs offer/evidence/soft-launch/announcement order | task ledger supplies implementation state |
| `PUBLIC_COPY_MATRIX_2026-08-15.md` | exact current public facts by surface | operational copy source for implementation and QA | no correction |
| `language_of_fear_report_SOURCE.md` | historical report plus dated preface | Version 0.5 body remains historical and hash-locked | separate correction and citation logs; build firewall |
| `PUBLICATION_RELEASE_LEDGER_2026-08-15.md` | current 28-task evidence source | only direct evidence changes task status | updated after each task |

## Exact consistency tests

- The worksheet contains exactly 36 numbered artifact rows.
- The release ledger contains exactly 28 unique task rows.
- Every current title occurrence uses the ratified title; older working-title occurrences are either prohibited-copy rules or clearly named historical source artifacts.
- Every current author field uses Guptajyotiḥ; the exact authorial-name sentence is frozen in the copy matrix and PDF matter.
- Every current new-book price field is $24 one-time; no bundle or automatic entitlement is authorized.
- All planned public routes are unique, remain under the existing Language of Fear route family, and do not overwrite existing-book routes.
- Outside-reading files remain byte-unchanged from receipt.

## Status reconciliation

“READY WITH NAMED CONDITIONS” is a verbatim August 14 reviewer verdict, not a current release declaration. “Decision-complete” means the authorial and policy choices are settled. `PASS` in the release ledger means direct evidence for that task exists. None of these terms means the publication is ready before all 28 tasks, the implemented-package readings, and the clean 48-hour test pass.

## Task ruling

**PASS.** Title, author, authorial-name statement, price, relationship, rights, evidence scope, Warning Exchange identity, routes, and release state now have one dated cross-record interpretation and explicit correction pointers. No historical outside reading or report body was rewritten.
