   Re-measured 2026-08-27 — wrong in both directions, and Rule 2 has since been re-ruled

   	claimed	measured
   PMPL SPDX headers	~11,000	1,933
   repos	~200	35 of 381

   Concentration is extreme: polystack alone holds 1,477 (76%), then palimpsest-license 127 and jaffascript 107.

   ⚠️ The finding that changes the work

   LICENCE-POLICY.adoc Rule 2 was re-ruled on 2026-08-26 to an explicit five-repo register:

   palimpsest-license · palimpsest-plasma · consent-aware-web · insolvency-tycoon · sim-public-relations

   polystack is not on it. So ~1,477 of the 1,933 headers are policy drift by the policy's own current definition — which is a different and much better-defined job than "cascade ~11k headers".

   The checkbox in this issue for "Rule 2 narrowing to three repos" is superseded — it is five, and the register is explicitly designed to grow.

   The unreachable destination is answerable

   a2ml-estate-normaliser (British spelling) exists, as a nested Rust crate at hyperpolymath/a2ml-ecosystem/members/tooling/a2ml-estate-normaliser/. It was never a standalone repo, so the "PR #1" this issue waits on cannot exist.

   Recommend: rescope to polystack + the 34 other non-register repos, and drop the PR #1 dependency.

   Status note from the iseriser lane, 2026-09-21:

   • iseriser generator: done. All six licence emitters in src/codegen/scaffold.rs produce canonical MPL-2.0 (PR chore(license): migrate PMPL scaffold emissions to MPL-2.0 per owner ruling iseriser#106, 2026-09-02), and the contractile.just gate now rejects palimpsest content in licensed output. The factory no longer upstream-feeds the drift.
   • Ruling bookkeeping: FLAG: discarded local edit wanted iseriser relabelled PMPL-1.0-or-later — owner decision needed iseriser#104 closed as "not intended" (Rule 1 default; off-register).
   • Policy re-read while there: Rule 2's register is now five (ruling 2026-08-26) — the ~200-repo surface should be re-counted against the current register before the header-regen step, since two register additions post-date the runbook inventory.
   • Still outstanding on this issue, unchanged: the ~11k-header regeneration from fixed generators, the axis-aware hook propagation, and naming a real destination for the retired a2ml-estate-normalizer step (404, already flagged in-issue 2026-08-25).

   Cascade status — 2026-09-21 closeout wave

   Follow-up to the iseriser note above. Today's execution results:

   Lane	Result
   iseriser#104	CLOSED (ruling recorded; tree clean since iseriser#106)
   nafa-app#58	CLOSED with ruling; header flip in hyperpolymath/nafa-app#70 (owner merge). Wider R-16 PMPL-culture ring enumerated there for standards#497-class review
   nextgen-typing#54	CLOSED — both workflows already MPL-2.0 on main; residue = §6 never-touch classes
   panll#75 / #78	CLOSED — fully resolved on main since panll#77; verification tables on the issues
   standards#645 (§7a source)	LOCATED + source fix open: hyperpolymath/developer-ecosystem#215 (dev-eco templates) + scaffoldia harvest-carriers listed for owner review
   a2ml-estate-normalizer step	still a 404 destination — recommend retiring that checklist item or naming a new home
   ~11k-header regen + axis hook propagation	untouched, blocked behind the 645-class generator fixes per this issue's own note ("regenerate-from-fixed-generators, not hand-sweep")

   All execution stayed inside LICENCE-POLICY A2 + gitbot-fleet#253: every close is an owner ruling recorded by hand; every edit rides a claude/* branch as a PR; nothing swept.
