SCHEDULABLE-BACKLOG-MULTISESSION-PLAN.md is read by sessions deciding what to build. That is what makes this worse than an ordinary stale line: it does not misinform a reader about a fact, it misroutes work.

The failure is already on record for this exact file — a session dispatched from it this morning and inherited a superseded §D RULE 1, whose ownership clause the owner amended on 2026-08-04.

Verified before writing, not transcribed

No running completion count, deliberately

Per CLAUDE.md §11 a count embedded in prose is a liability — it would go stale the moment the next lane lands, which is exactly how the line being fixed here got wrong.

Stated instead: the authoring baseline as fixed history (92 open items at authoring), a dated snapshot of what has shipped, and a pointer to the ledger as the live record. Same reasoning as the docs/SECURITY.md PHI-route rewording in #204stop asserting a count rather than correct one.

The planning gap is recorded, not closed

77 open items have no wave assignment and file contention has not been re-derived across the combined set, so scheduling from this document alone would both miss work and under-count collisions. Re-planning is a genuine multi-agent pass and an owner call — flagged as owed, not attempted here.

⚠️ This file sits inside docs/releases/, which ADR 0160 Phase 1 proposes removing from the public repo. Fixing it anyway: Phase 1 is unratified, and a dispatch document that misroutes work does so today. If Phase 1 lands, nothing is lost.

Docs-only, so #202's doc-guard leg runs on it — the second exercise of that step.

… ten of its items shipped

SCHEDULABLE-BACKLOG-MULTISESSION-PLAN.md is read by sessions deciding WHAT TO
BUILD, which is what makes this worse than an ordinary stale line: it does not
misinform a reader about a fact, it misroutes work. The failure is already on
record for this exact file -- a session dispatched from it this morning and
inherited a SUPERSEDED section D RULE 1, whose ownership clause the owner had
amended on 2026-08-04.

Verified before writing, not transcribed: all ten claimed-shipped items (#233,
#322, #324, #326, #330, #334, #335, #336, #341, #347) are closed or archived;
the ledger is 108 open; 26 open items are numbered >=1000 and were filed after
the plan existed.

NO RUNNING COMPLETION COUNT, deliberately. Per CLAUDE.md section 11 a count
embedded in prose is a liability -- it would go stale the moment the next lane
lands, which is exactly how the line being fixed here got wrong. What is stated
instead is the AUTHORING BASELINE as fixed history (92 open items at authoring)
plus a dated snapshot of what has shipped, and a pointer to the ledger as the
live record. Same reasoning as the docs/SECURITY.md PHI-route rewording in #204:
stop asserting a count rather than correct one.

The planning gap is recorded, not closed: 77 open items have no wave assignment
and file contention has not been re-derived across the combined set, so
scheduling from this document alone would both miss work and under-count
collisions. Re-planning is a genuine multi-agent pass and an owner call.

⚠️ NOTE this file sits inside docs/releases/, which ADR 0160 Phase 1 proposes
removing from the public repo. Fixing it anyway: Phase 1 is unratified, and a
dispatch document that misroutes work does so TODAY. If Phase 1 lands, nothing
is lost.
