Two sentences in R12 contradicted machine-readable truths in this repository, and both were wrong on the day they were written. `Refs #N` DOES satisfy `check-linked-issue`. The matcher at `.github/workflows/issue-gate.yml:69` is `(Closes?|Fixes?|Resolves?|Refs?|Updates?)\s*#[0-9]+` and has carried `Refs?` since `5850c302e` (2026-07-07). R12's denial was written 2026-08-20: 44 days late on arrival, not stale. Seven readers in this tree carry that dictionary and R12 was the only dissenter -- while demanding the one spelling R11 forbids nineteen lines above, since `Closes` autocloses on merge. The repair does NOT re-transcribe the dictionary; it points at the gate. A hand-copied copy missing `Refs` once matched 4 references where the gate matched 33, and this sentence was the next copy to go wrong. Recorded in the rule itself so the third copy is not written either. R12 also still told authors to add a section to `docs/NOW.md`, whose first line reads FROZEN ARCHIVE -- do not add entries here, frozen in `f5be7dc1c` (#2298) on 2026-08-21 for exactly the collision reason R12 exists to avoid. `.claude/skills/spec-first-ternary-nn.md:62` carried the same instruction and is corrected with it. The guard is deliberately NOT added, on a measurement rather than on caution. Every mention of `docs/NOW.md` under `.github/workflows/`, `scripts/` and `.githooks/` is a comment: zero lines reject an edit, so the freeze is prose only. But the obvious rule -- fail any diff containing the file -- is too broad: of the 600 commits since the freeze, 2 touched it and one (`458ec0bd6`) REPAIRS damaged entries. The banner forbids ADDING entries, not touching the file, and a guard that blocks a legitimate repair is the shape this repository documents as one that gets muted. The narrow rule is filed in #3368. Resealed: the rule text changed, so `LOOP-RULES.sha256` moves with it in this commit. R6 -- the seal certifies identity, not correctness. Found by the adversarial sweep for #3355. These two are the MIRROR of that class: the truth is machine-readable and the prose is the stale transcription. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Seven readers in this tree carry that dictionary; R12 was the sole dissenter.
