POST AA b22: refrain ordering, VVN shape, and residual ``-m`` citation keys
****************************************************************************************

| **VVN:** ``aa-b22-refrain-order-dv_ClaOp50Max_MMv1r0p0_2026m09d11_13h10``
| **Status:** OPEN (3)
| **Scope:** site-wide language convention, plus a small HELL-only citation remainder.
  Not paper-specific, so **POST AA** under the placement rule.
| **Origin:** measured during the 2026m09d11 push-readiness audit while auditing an
  unrelated citation diff. Full record:
  :ref:`hell-ll-infra-b47-push-readiness-audit-llog`.

     - **Sweep the reversed-order refrain --- 116 sites. WORDING DECIDED, TIMING DEFERRED.**
     - **Language Rule 7's refrain corollary** requires the disbelief clause **first** and
       the sentence to **end on the task**. The site does the opposite in **116 places**
       (measured 2026m09d11): **15** in ``.. meta:: / og:card:description / :keywords:``
       across 14 files, and **101** in visible body text across 39 files.

       **DECIDED by LLoL 2026m09d11 --- the replacement wording (see the table in section 1):**
       the single-sentence transform ``X to be <VERB>, not believed`` |rarr| ``X not to be
       believed, but to be <VERB>``. **The two-sentence variant was considered and
       rejected** --- LLoL: *"the 2-sentence variant is longer and both belong in one
       sentence."*

       **DECIDED --- constraints.** *"Don't touch the published papers."* Nothing in
       ``source/study/matheo/`` is to be edited for this. *"Leave it as is for now. Maybe
       future work will find a better slogan, but now isn't time for such evaluation
       work."* So the task is **parked at k4, not scheduled** --- the wording is settled so
       that whoever picks it up does not re-litigate it, but the sweep itself waits.

       **When it is picked up**, the 15 metadata sites are the separable first bite: they
       are not paper text, carry no version-bump argument, and are what a reader meets
       *before* arriving --- the position where "not believed" does its most dismissive
       work. Precedent to weigh: Language Rule 5 grandfathered its own ordering rule
       ("applies moving forward; no need to sweep existing text"). Either the refrain
       corollary gets the same explicit grandfather clause, or the sweep gets scheduled ---
       **the one option to avoid is leaving the rule and the site silently disagreeing.**

     - **Decide the VVN shape for the Matheo papers --- three shapes are in use.**
     - Raised by LLoL 2026m09d11 on seeing
       ``dv_ClaOp48Max_MMv5r0p1_b15-math-deadlock-mmv5_2026m09d11``: *"looks like a
       monstrosity."* Measured across the 320 pages that define a ``|content-vvn|``:

       - **267 pages** --- ``dv_ClaOp48Max_MMv1_2026m06d03``. Four fields, the documented
         spec core.
       - **A handful** --- ``paper-dv_ClaOp47Max_MMv1r0p0_2026m04d21_15h42``. The spec's
         **dash-joined ContentPrefix** form, which ``AHA/vvn-composition.md`` actually
         documents and recommends.
       - **51 pages, including all 48 Matheo papers** ---
         ``dv_ClaOp48Max_MMv5_study-matheo-b11_2026m05d29``. Slug spliced into the middle
         as a fifth underscore field. **This shape is not in the spec.**

       The third shape is redundant twice over: it repeats ``mmv5`` (once in the slug, once
       in the StabilityCode) and restates the filename, which the URL already carries. The
       spec-conforming equivalent would be ``b15-math-deadlock-dv_ClaOp48Max_MMv5r0p1_2026m09d11``,
       or simply ``dv_ClaOp48Max_MMv5r0p1_2026m09d11``.

       **NOT changed.** Editing one paper's VVN splits it from its 47 siblings; editing all
       48 is a site-wide decision, and LLoL's ruling on the refrain --- *"now isn't time for
       such evaluation work"* --- applies here with equal force. **Where it is used:**
       exactly one place per page, the ``|content-vvn|`` substitution consumed by
       ``source/_templates/include-file/footer/page-footer-stability.rst``, which renders the
       footer line *"Content stability --- Content is variant \<VVN\>"*.
   * - k3
     - s1
     - **Resolve the 7 remaining unresolved** ``-m`` **citation keys.**
     - After the 2026m09d11 bib repair, site-wide empty ``[]`` citations fell from 51 sites
       to **7**, all inside frozen HELL archives, all using an **undocumented ``-m``
       suffix**: ``Balospe-1-m`` (3), ``Lawvere1973-m`` (2), ``BenciDiNasso2003-m`` (1),
       ``Matheo-1-m`` (1). CLAUDE.md's citation convention writes ``[Matheo-b11-m]_`` with
       both a ``-m`` suffix and docutils bracket syntax, so a second citation mechanism
       appears to be in play. **Not guessed at:** two of the four are *external* literature
       (Lawvere 1973; Benci & Di Nasso 2003) whose bibliographic data must not be invented.
       **ASK LLoL what ``-m`` denotes before adding anything.**


1. The refrain: why this is a real decision and not a typo sweep
==================================================================

**The rule postdates the text.** The refrain corollary entered ``CLAUDE.md`` on
**2026m07d14**; the MMv5 floor was poured on **2026m05d29**. Every one of the 111 sites was
written correctly by the standard in force at the time. This is **inherited debt, not a
violation** --- and the distinction matters, because Language Rule 5 sets an explicit
precedent for exactly this situation: the BREACH-before-HELD ordering "applies moving
forward; no need to sweep existing text across the site."

**So the honest question is whether the refrain deserves a stronger treatment than Rule 5
gave its own ordering rule.** Three things argue that it might:

- It is **the project's most-repeated sentence**, not an incidental phrase. 111 sites is
  close to saturation of the public surface.
- It sits in ``og:card:description`` fields, so it is what a reader sees **before** they
  arrive --- the position where "not believed" does its most dismissive work, and where the
  rule's stated reason bites hardest.
- The four correct-order uses that do exist are on **newer** pages, so the site is already
  drifting into two standards. A split standard is worse than either standard alone.

And three that argue against sweeping now:

- 111 edits across 39 **published** papers is a large content change requiring version
  bumps on each, for a wording change that alters no claim.
- Rule 5's precedent says moving-forward-only is an acceptable answer for ordering rules.
- ``"critiqued, not believed"`` may by now be a recognised **tagline** with its own
  recognition value; changing it site-wide has a cost the rule did not weigh.

**DECIDED 2026m09d11 --- wording yes, sweep not yet.** LLoL approved the single-sentence
transform and **rejected** the two-sentence variant that had been offered for the 66x form
(*"the 2-sentence variant is longer and both belong in one sentence"*), and ruled that the
sweep itself waits: *"Leave it as is for now. Maybe future work will find a better slogan,
but now isn't time for such evaluation work."* Binding constraint: **"Don't touch the
published papers."**

So the replacement table above is **settled wording, parked work**. Whoever picks this up
should not re-open the wording question; they should decide only *when*, and *whether* the
corollary instead deserves an explicit grandfather clause like Language Rule 5's.

**The one option still to avoid is silence** --- a rule that 116 public sites contradict is
in an unstable state, and leaving it unexamined is the *form-looks-right-but-substance-drifted*
pattern the Core Principle names as the most dangerous because it is invisible. Parking it
here, with the wording pre-agreed, is what keeps it from being silence.

**When it is picked up**, the 15 metadata sites are the separable first bite:
``og:card:description``, ``:description:`` and ``:keywords:`` are not paper text, carry no
version-bump argument, and are what a reader meets *before* arriving --- the position where
"not believed" does its most dismissive work.
