Files Are Truth
Labels lie. Files tell the truth.
A filename says "final-v3." The contents say otherwise. DreamerOS enforces this: no decision is ratified until the canonical file is updated. Memory records intent. Files record reality. When they diverge, the file wins. This prevented 10+ documented errors.
Why this matters
Every system that separates what we decided from what the code says will eventually be wrong about what it decided.
