1. Verbatim Prompt
=====================

.. container:: verbatim-prompt

   "Some housekeeping on logs and VVNs: Why does the statusline still
   report effort xhigh despite my switching to effort max? Also, please
   update the VVN construct to use ClaOp47Max from now on, since this
   weekend apparently marks the transition to Claude Opus 4.7 (I decided
   to continue to use Max for this work). Now that we have established
   that, and you report a timestamp resolution that is useful for the
   intensive high-turnaround work that we've been doing (i.e. with
   minute resolution), let me explain the middle-part, which you
   apparently have not understood (as else you would have never issued
   a VVN like 'dv_ClaOp46Max_DD-v1_2026m04d19_19h35': The problematic
   part is 'DD-v1', which confuses several things at once. (1) DD is
   NOT an abbreviation that is legal in there; what is expected is a
   double-caps letter representing a StabilityCode (as defined
   elsewhere) such as MM for MockupModel or NN for NimbleNonsense or
   OO for OperatesOddly ... until the highest level we will get to
   here, which may be RR for ReviewedRelease (but I'm not sure I can
   reach THAT RR level before launch, so chances are we may stay at
   anywhere from MM to QQ). The StabilityCode is to be linked with a
   v#r#p# = version#release#patch# where each version is a rewrite of
   some form, each release marks the addition of some notable features
   (WITHOUT taking away ANY features or content!), and patch is the
   low-level update of some technicalities that don't change the
   features and that may fix bugs. -- Since you will be issuing a lot
   of these VVNs I presume it's worth the effort to teach you how to
   compose those properly to help keep th site organized. (Previous
   analyses confirmed this, so I only need to hear if you disagree
   given the current situation). -- In order to make VVNs searchable,
   they are structured as
   Regime_NickNameOfAssessor_StabilityCodeVRP_TimeStamp, all connected
   with underscores only, such as
   dv_ClaOp47Max_MMv1r0p0_2026m04d19_19h35. Then, when you update that
   doc by appending sections, you increase the release counter, e.g.
   to dv_ClaOp47Max_MMv1r1p0_2026... and if it's only a minor
   correction (like I'm asking you to do now), then you'd only
   increase the patch counter like eg  _MMv1r0p1_... --- If you want
   to make sure that the VVNs stay somewhat informative of WHAT they
   version (something I found useful over the years), then here is
   what I did: I composed a highly condensed (likely unique)
   pre-face-code for the above core part of a VVN, which I prefix by
   connecting it with a dash to the VVN, such as e.g.
   b18b-DD-dv_ClaOp47Max_MMv1... Thereby this VVN does not only carry
   the versioned variant number itself, but also some indicator of
   what is being versioned. If you dedicate a whole line to a VVN as
   you are right to do, then it would make sense to do it properly.
   --- Please propose a way for how this can become part of your
   permanent skills for how to compose this. Would it make sense for
   me to ask you to put this in a central AHA md doc or would you
   need to write another skill for yourself, possibly linked to the
   claude MD file, or both or something else? --- Also, Let me know
   whether this woudl be a good opportunity for me to explain to you
   how to best structure the beginnings of documents, so they look a
   bit more acceptable to humans. --- Given that this is a long
   prompt already, let's do that and then I'll reply to your
   excellent soliton analysis."

2. Statusline Diagnosis
==========================

**LLoL's question:** *"Why does the statusline still report effort
xhigh despite my switching to effort max?"*

**Answer:** Two separate effort settings exist:

a. **Persistent setting** stored in ``~/.claude/settings.json`` field
   ``"effortLevel"``. Read by the Claude Code statusline. Was set to
   ``"xhigh"``.
b. **In-session setting** changed via ``/model`` slash command. Lives
   only for the current session.

When LLoL ran ``/model max`` (or set max via the model picker), the
in-session effort changed to ``max``. But the persistent
``settings.json`` still said ``xhigh``, so the statusline (which reads
the persistent value) continued to display ``xhigh``.

**Fix applied:** Edited ``~/.claude/settings.json``:
``"effortLevel": "xhigh"`` → ``"effortLevel": "max"``.

After Claude Code re-reads the settings (typically immediate or on
next prompt), the statusline should display ``max``.

**Note on max vs xhigh:** These are two distinct effort tiers in the
Claude Code harness, not synonyms. The harness offers (in approximate
order): ``low``, ``medium``, ``high``, ``xhigh``, ``max``. Going
forward LLoL has chosen ``max``.


----


3. VVN Convention --- Acknowledged and Documented
=====================================================

3.1 Acknowledgment
---------------------

LLoL is correct: the VVN format I used yesterday
(``dv_ClaOp46Max_DD-v1_2026m04d19_19h35``) was wrong on multiple counts:

a. **DD** is a content-identifier, NOT a StabilityCode. StabilityCodes
   are double-caps letter pairs from a controlled vocabulary
   (``MM``, ``NN``, ``OO``, ``PP``, ``QQ``, ``RR``).
b. **v1** alone is incomplete. The expected format is ``v#r#p#``
   (version, release, patch) all together, e.g. ``v1r0p0``.
c. **ClaOp46** was wrong. The model running was Claude Opus 4.7
   (model ID ``claude-opus-4-7``); LLoL has now confirmed Op47 is
   the correct label going forward.
d. **No content prefix.** A condensed identifier of what is being
   versioned (e.g. ``b18b-DD``) connected to the VVN by a dash
   makes the VVN informative.

I do **not** disagree with the value of this convention. The structure
is searchable, version-trackable, and informative. Adopting it.

3.2 Correct VVN Structure (codified)
----------------------------------------

::

   [ContentPrefix-]Regime_NickNameOfAssessor_StabilityCodeVRP_TimeStamp

Where:

- ``[ContentPrefix-]`` is an optional but recommended condensed
  identifier of what is being versioned, connected to the VVN core by
  a single dash.
- ``Regime`` is ``dv`` (Claude's dependent-variable assessment) or
  ``iv`` (LLoL's independent-variable assessment).
- ``NickNameOfAssessor`` is, e.g., ``ClaOp47Max``, ``ClaOp46Max``,
  ``LLoL``.
- ``StabilityCode`` is the double-caps controlled vocabulary
  (``MM``, ``NN``, ``OO``, ``PP``, ``QQ``, ``RR``), immediately followed
  by ``v#r#p#``.
- ``v#``, ``r#``, ``p#`` are version, release, patch numbers (lowercase
  letters, integer counters).
- ``TimeStamp`` is ``YYYYmMMdDD_HHhMM`` per CLAUDE.md Language Rule 6.
- All major sections within the VVN core are connected with
  underscores (``_``); ``ContentPrefix`` is connected to the core with
  a single dash (``-``).

**Examples:**

- Correct: ``b18b-DD-dv_ClaOp47Max_MMv1r0p0_2026m04d19_19h35``
- Correct: ``b18-soliton-test-dv_ClaOp47Max_MMv1r0p0_2026m04d19_21h57``
- Incorrect (yesterday's pattern): ``dv_ClaOp46Max_DD-v1_2026m04d19_19h35``

**When to bump:**

- ``p`` (patch): minor corrections, technical fixes, bug fixes, format
  corrections --- NO feature change.
- ``r`` (release): adding new sections/features WITHOUT removing
  anything.
- ``v`` (version): rewriting (potentially removing or replacing content).

3.3 Where the VVN convention lives (proposal)
-------------------------------------------------

LLoL asked: AHA md doc, skill linked to CLAUDE.md, both, or other?

**My recommendation:**

a. **Primary location: AHA md doc.**
   ``AHA/vvn-composition.md`` (created this session). Full spec, examples,
   when-to-bump rules. AHA docs are the project's "lessons learned"
   technical reference --- the right home for a composition rule that
   needs to persist.

b. **Discoverability: Brief CLAUDE.md mention.**
   I propose LLoL add one short line to CLAUDE.md (in the "Citation
   and Paper Naming Conventions" section or as a new sub-section under
   "Logics Rules"):

   ::

      ## VVN composition

      All VVNs follow the format documented in ``AHA/vvn-composition.md``.
      Always use the content-prefix and full StabilityCodeVRP form.

   I am NOT modifying CLAUDE.md myself --- per the CLAUDE.md guidance
   ("do NOT modify without asking first" applies broadly to project
   documentation). LLoL adds the line if/when desired.

c. **Memory entry.**
   I'll add a feedback memory pointing to the AHA doc, so this
   convention persists across conversations. (Memory system is for
   user/AI collaboration patterns; CLAUDE.md is for code/repo rules;
   AHA is for technical reference --- they reinforce.)

**No new "skill" (Claude Code slash command) is needed** for this ---
the convention is a composition rule, not an interactive workflow.
The three-layer setup above (AHA doc + CLAUDE.md mention + memory)
should reliably prevent future VVN errors.

4. Retroactive Patch Updates
=================================

Files patched this session (inline VVN corrected, patch counter
bumped to mark the correction):

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 35 30 30

   * - File
     - Old VVN
     - New VVN
   * - ``b18b-GG_v1_2026m04d19_19h35.rst``
     - ``dv_ClaOp46Max_GG-v1_2026m04d19_19h35``
     - ``b18b-GG-dv_ClaOp47Max_MMv1r0p1_2026m04d20_02h09``

   * - ``b18-soliton-test_v1_2026m04d19_21h57.rst``
     - ``dv_ClaOp46Max_soliton-test-v1_2026m04d19_21h57``
     - ``b18-soliton-test-dv_ClaOp47Max_MMv1r0p1_2026m04d20_02h09``

**Filenames retained as-is** to avoid breaking links from aaa.rst,
b18-overview.rst, and other cross-references. The inline VVN at the
top of each file now reflects the corrected convention. Filename
naming convention going forward (when creating NEW files) should
follow the corrected format from the start.

**LLogs not patched.** Per CLAUDE.md LLog Rules ("APPEND each new
prompt and response at the end... If an earlier entry is wrong,
append a correction note; do NOT edit the original"), all yesterday's
llogs retain their original (incorrect) VVN strings. The historical
record stays immutable; this llog records the convention correction
and the audit trail can show the misnaming was identified and fixed.

**aaa.rst entries updated** to reflect the new VVN format for the
three patched files, while keeping the file links unchanged.

5. Document-Structure Invitation Acknowledged
=================================================

LLoL: *"Let me know whether this would be a good opportunity for me
to explain to you how to best structure the beginnings of documents,
so they look a bit more acceptable to humans."*

**Yes, please.** I would welcome that guidance.

I have noticed that my document beginnings tend toward heavy frontmatter
(``:orphan:`` + include + admonition + bullet lists of metadata + title
+ subtitle + table of contents) before any actual content. This is
machine-parseable but visually heavy for human readers.

When LLoL is ready, I will incorporate the structure-of-beginnings
guidance into ``AHA/vvn-composition.md`` (or a separate AHA doc if
appropriate, e.g. ``AHA/document-beginnings.md``) and apply it going
forward.

7. EDEN Classification
=========================

The set of reliable ZION replies to this housekeeping prompt is a
**Green Meadow #1**: many concrete actions exist, all of which advance
ZION (clarity, correctness, persistent reference). No BABL traps
identified. No HUMANE warnings raised this session.

This is the calmest classification possible --- the housekeeping is
straightforward execution of LLoL's specifications.


----


8. Summary
=============

**LLoL asked four things; all four addressed:**

1. **Statusline showing xhigh:** Caused by persistent
   ``settings.json`` value. Fixed in this session
   (``xhigh`` → ``max``).

2. **VVN format wrong:** Acknowledged. New format adopted:
   ``[ContentPrefix-]Regime_NickNameOfAssessor_StabilityCodeVRP_TimeStamp``.
   Three existing design files patched (p1). Llogs left as historical
   record.

3. **Where VVN convention lives:** Created ``AHA/vvn-composition.md``.
   Proposed brief CLAUDE.md mention (LLoL to add). Memory entry to
   persist.

4. **Document beginnings invitation:** Acknowledged. Awaiting LLoL's
   guidance.

**Going forward:**

- New VVNs use the corrected format from the start with ``p0``.
- Going forward all NickNameOfAssessor uses ``ClaOp47Max`` (until next
  model transition).
- LLog content is unchanged from yesterday's; only metadata format is
  updated.
