Clarify doc-only tip versus handoff proof

[100yenadmin]

Summary

• clarifies that fd9dba5 is the latest product-code app-proof build, while Record fd9dba5 handoff proof #506 is a docs-only commit above it
• prevents release: rerun clean non-partial 5-persona RRI after gate hardening #466 from accidentally mixing VM artifacts from a newer docs-only SHA with the fd9dba5 Mac handoff JSON
• documents the two valid same-SHA paths: pin VM persona sweep to fd9dba5, or rerun the Mac handoff on a newer release-candidate SHA before RRI rollup

Validation

• git diff --check
• python3 -m pytest qa/test_release_readiness.py -q -> 21 passed
• validate_handoff_json(..., "fd9dba5") -> valid=True, gaps=0

No product code changes. This is release-truth clarification only.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Three operational runbooks are updated cohesively to anchor release-readiness on the fd9dba5 product-code baseline, rename the GUI velocity gate for clarity, and tighten support-VM verification and RRI rollup procedures with explicit rerun steps and stricter conditions.

Changes

Runbook Baseline Anchoring and Gate Clarity

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Baseline anchoring and verification requirements WorldOS-OPERATING-GOAL.md, WorldOS-GUI-RUNBOOK.md, WorldOS-RUNBOOK.md	The fd9dba5 baseline becomes the state-of-truth anchor across all three documents, with explicit requirements to verify origin/main matches the baseline before acting. Wording around the baseline reference is adjusted for consistency and clarity.
GUI velocity gate renaming to product-code WorldOS-GUI-RUNBOOK.md, WorldOS-OPERATING-GOAL.md	The post-#505 handoff gate is renamed from "current-main" to "product-code" and reaffirmed as a fast GUI velocity gate rather than the final release verdict. The "Last built-app play proof" label is updated to "Last product-code handoff proof" for consistency.
Support-VM verification and RRI rollup procedures WorldOS-GUI-RUNBOOK.md, WorldOS-OPERATING-GOAL.md	Support-VM and RRI rollup instructions are tightened with stricter conditions (same-SHA, clean, private-art-present, gap-free) for native-gate satisfaction from the Mac handoff bundle. Explicit step to rerun qa/app_handoff_gate.py when the VM uses a newer SHA is added. Issue #466 sequencing for persona sweeps vs Mac handoff reruns is clarified. VM state references and handoff validation guidance are refreshed throughout.
Document metadata and work-queue narrative updates WorldOS-OPERATING-GOAL.md, WorldOS-RUNBOOK.md	Timestamps, merged-PR references, and work-queue narratives are refreshed to reflect #506 docs sync and newer PR context (#504/#505). Clarification that docs-only commits may sit above the latest product-proof SHA on origin/main is added.

Possibly related PRs

• electricsheephq/WorldOS#506: Both PRs update the same WorldOS docs to anchor release/readiness evidence on the fd9dba5 baseline and to revise the GUI/support-VM gate/evidence instructions around post-Harden RRI handoff evidence bridge #505 handoff verification, so the changes are strongly overlapping.
• electricsheephq/WorldOS#501: Both PRs update the same WorldOS documentation workflow—changing the main baseline/proof SHA and the associated GUI/operating goal gate evidence instructions (main PR to fd9dba5, retrieved PR to f7ab6d7)—so they are directly related.
• electricsheephq/WorldOS#471: Both PRs update the same runbook documentation around GUI "gate" vs "release truth" evidence flow and the recommended lanes (local checkout vs Support VM), including tightening the baseline/checkout guidance in WorldOS-GUI-RUNBOOK.md.

Poem

🐰 A baseline emerges, fd9dba5 so fair,
The gates now renamed with "product-code" care,
Support-VM sweeps with conditions so tight,
And docs cleared above—a synchronized sight!
The runbooks align, no more gate confusion,
Just verification and clear conclusion! ✨
