+<objective>
+The measurement campaign that turns ALT from code into evidence, and the record retirement that evidence buys: the D-03 optimality gate against the frozen pre-ALT baseline, the SC-1/SC-1′ CPU verdicts (25-route CI + 100-pair extended), then every c3-accepting record — budget gate law, BUDGETS, KNOWN-LIMITATIONS, ROAD-GRAPH — re-written to the measured truth.
+
+Purpose: this plan IS the phase's success criteria. SC-1 (p95 under the ceiling) and SC-2 (optimality unaffected) are measured here; SC-3 (the c3 class retires with evidence) is written here.
+Output: green optimality gate, green CPU verdicts (or the honest-FAIL escalation), and four documents + one gate law that no longer accept a degradation that no longer exists.

+<!-- The instruments and records this plan operates on. Extracted 2026-10-25. -->
+
+The frozen record (Plan 08-01, `routing/test/fixtures/alt-baseline.json`):
+```json
+{ "recordedAt": "<ISO>", "epsilon": { "name": "OPTIMALITY_EPSILON_PCT", "pct": 0.1 },
+  "graph": { "path": "routing/data/kl-roadgraph.v1.bin", "byteLength": 15449343, "nodeCount": N, "edgeCount": E, "argVersion": 1 },
+  "pairRules": { "seed": "0x08a1", "count": 100, "minPairKm": 12 },
+  "pairs": [ { "pairId": "x000", "origin": {"lat": …, "lng": …}, "destination": {"lat": …, "lng": …}, "straightLineKm": …, "seconds": …, "verdict": "reachable|unreachable|unsnappable" } ] }
+```
+The record is IMMUTABLE (the recorder refuses overwrite; delete by explicit git revert only). Pairs are pinned by COORDINATES (never node indices — Pitfall 2).
+
+`routing/scripts/route-corpus.mjs` — the gate-script architecture to copy: exported measurement core + CLI guard (`const invoked = process.argv[1] ? pathToFileURL(...) : ""; if (invoked === import.meta.url) main();`, lines 329–334), the checks-registry + violations pattern (lines 74–92), named-constant bands (lines 41–53), the report/exit law (0 only when every check has zero violations).
+
+`routing/scripts/measure-route-cpu.mjs` — the two verdict modes: default (zero args, 25-route CI gate, `P95_BUDGET_MS = 8`, prints `p95: <n> ms (…)` + `GATE PASS|FAIL: …`) and `--extended` (Plan 08-01: ~100 cross-metro coordinate-pinned pairs via generateCrossMetroPairs, seed 0x08a1, its own p95 + gate line naming the D-04 extended verdict). The pre-ALT extended run measured an HONEST GATE FAIL (08-01) — post-ALT PASS is the arc this plan closes.
+
+`scripts/lib/budget-gates.mjs` — the route-cpu verdict law going stale (lines 24–33 doc, 58–61 `ROUTE_CPU_DRIFT_GUARD_MS = 200`, 121–133 verdict strings): current strings call an 8 ms overshoot "the DOCUMENTED, ACCEPTED c3 class" and call ALT "a next-milestone item". `runCpuLadderGate` (lines 78–119) runs measure-route-cpu.mjs with ZERO args and regex-parses `^p95:` / `^GATE (?:FAIL|PASS):` — that CLI contract is pinned (budget-audit 19/19 vectors; scripts/test/budget-audit.test.mjs also source-token-checks the gates). Read that test IN FULL before editing either file — vectors pinning the stale strings co-update in the same task.
+
+docs state to rewrite: `docs/KNOWN-LIMITATIONS.md` c3 section (lines 29–41, ending "…it is a next-milestone item and is **not** in this release."), the /cari FIXED-record precedent (lines 43–57: ROOT CAUSE / what changed / verified date / what REMAINS), ALT pointer row (line 80: "Next-milestone item, not built"). `docs/ROAD-GRAPH.md` CPU-gate section (lines 77–106: ladder table + the open c1/c2/c3 decision paragraph), key-facts row "pinned CSR v1" (line 130). `docs/BUDGETS.md` route-cpu row (line 58) + "Cross-metro CPU degradation (the c3 class)" section (lines 162–186, including the 200 ms DRIFT GUARD paragraph). `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` — verify-only.

+  <behavior>
+    - epsilon mirror: the script's OPTIMALITY_EPSILON_PCT ≠ record.epsilon.pct → fail() BEFORE any measurement (constant-mirror law; a record edit alone cannot fake equality)
+    - record.graph.argVersion !== 1 → fail() ("the baseline must be the pre-ALT record")
+    - current binary decodes null (still ARG1 / corrupt) → fail() with the rebuild hint — never a partial comparison
+    - D03B verdict class: record reachable + post-ALT null (or the reverse) → violation naming the pairId; record unreachable + post unreachable → pass
+    - D03A seconds: both routed and |post − pre| > pre × 0.1/100 → violation; within → pass (equal seconds, ties allowed — node paths are NEVER compared)
+    - record "unsnappable" pairs (seconds null): post also unsnappable → pass; post now snaps and routes → an INFO row ("re-snapped") with its seconds printed, NOT a violation — counted and WARNING-printed in the summary if > 0 (D-03's letter gates the reachable/unreachable classes)
+    - a tie-path difference (different equal-cost node path, same seconds) CANNOT produce a violation — the gate structurally never looks at paths
+  </behavior>
+  <action>
+Create `routing/scripts/measure-optimality-gate.mjs` (#!/usr/bin/env node; header contract doc-comment in the route-corpus style: purpose, inputs — the COMMITTED record + the LOCAL rebuilt binary — echoes pair ids + measurements only, exit law).
+
+Constants (named, doc-commented): `OPTIMALITY_EPSILON_PCT = 0.1` (D-03; the mirror of the record's epsilon block), `RECORD_PATH = resolve(here, "..", "test", "fixtures", "alt-baseline.json")`, `GRAPH_PATH = resolve(here, "..", "data", "kl-roadgraph.v1.bin")` (the same path law as measure-route-cpu).
+
+Exported core (the route-corpus split — one measurement, two reporters):
+`export function measureOptimality(graph, record, { snap, astar })` → `{ checks: { D03A, D03B }, rows, reSnapped, pass }` — for each record pair: snap both endpoints (snap-miss on the NEW graph → row class "unsnapped", handled per the unsnappable rules above); route with `astar`; compare per the <behavior> rules; per-pair row `{ pairId, pre, post, deltaPct, verdictPre, verdictPost, class: "pass|violation|re-snapped|unsnapped" }`.
+
+CLI main(): existsSync guards (absent record → fail "run measure-optimality-baseline first — the record is the D-03 anchor"; absent binary → fail with the build hint); parse + validate the record; the epsilon + argVersion mirror asserts; decodeGraph (null → fail honest); INFO print comparing record.graph counts vs current (nodeCount/edgeCount drift → WARNING line: "extract drift vs the frozen record — the seconds gate still applies"; NOT a violation, and NEVER a reason to re-record — Pitfall 1); run the core; print per-pair rows (`  xNNN: pre 5123.4s post 5123.4s (Δ 0.000%) pass` shape), the summary (violations per check, re-snapped count, max |Δ%|, the epsilon used), and exit 1 on any violation else `GATE PASS: D-03 optimality — N/N pairs equal within ±0.1%, verdict classes preserved`.
+
+Then RUN it — the rebuilt ARG2 binary from 08-04 is on disk: `node routing/scripts/measure-optimality-gate.mjs`. Expected: GATE PASS (ALT is steering-only; A1-class change). A FAIL here is honest and STOPS the plan: report the violating pairs, suspect extract drift first (compare the WARNING counts), and NEVER edit the record — escalation to the user is the only next step (Pitfall 1's immutable law).

+   - ≤ P95_BUDGET_MS (8): unchanged PASS path.
+   - 8 < p95 ≤ ROUTE_CPU_DRIFT_GUARD_MS (200 — the constant STAYS, re-documented): exit 0 with a loud WARNING line: over the product budget within the shared-host variance guard (documented ≈2x box variance; the 06-04 band history cites 38–93 ms on IDENTICAL pre-ALT code) — "re-run on a quiet box before treating as regression; the c3 class was RETIRED in Phase 8 (ALT preprocessing)".

+3. `docs/BUDGETS.md` — the route-cpu row: new measured value (task 2's quoted p95 + date + n; keep the "not statically pinnable / re-run the audit" honesty and the shared-host variance note), the headroom cell flips positive, the "accepted c3 class" disposition cell becomes "RETIRED 2026-10-25 (Phase 8, ALT)". The c3 section becomes the retirement record in the same shape (what changed: ALT preprocessing + ARG2; the measured numbers that retired it; the DECIDED posture now: p95 ≤ 8 is the gate, the variance guard is measurement hygiene, NOT an accepted class; the ladder history stays as history).

+1. `docs/KNOWN-LIMITATIONS.md`:

Workers Paid stays rejected ($0 law).
+   - Flip the roadmap-pointer ALT row: "Next-milestone item, not built" → built (Phase 8) with the measured p95; adjust the surrounding "none in this release" framing accordingly (the WASM-router and Engine-B rows stay as they are).
+2. `docs/ROAD-GRAPH.md`:
+   - CPU-gate section: the ladder table gains the (c2) rung — executed, with the measured p95s + date; the decision paragraph flips from OPEN (c1/c2/c3) to DECIDED: c2 built (this phase), c1 and c3 rejected (c3 retired by measurement). Note the extended 100-pair verdict as the cross-metro evidence.
+   - New short section "The ARG2 layout": 72-byte header (landmarkCount / landmarkQuantumS / reserved), the u16 dual-family table suffix + u32 anchors, the sentinel 0xFFFF law, and the `landmarkQuantumS` fork knob — 0.1 s default ⇒ ≈6,553 s expressible ceiling, raise-at-rebuild instructions for larger forks (Pitfall 5). The storage-name-vs-format-truth note: the R2 key stays `kl-roadgraph.v1.bin` (D-01 lock); the HEADER version is the format truth — never rename the key.
+   - Key-facts table: "pinned CSR v1" → ARG2 wording; add the optimality-gate script to the tools list.
+   - The fork contract's build step text gains the landmark facts (the stage prints them; no new commands — the contract's commands are unchanged).
+3. `docs/CONFIGURATION.md`: READ-verify — edit ONLY if a statement became false (paths and script names are unchanged; expected no-op). Note the check in the summary either way.

+## Trust Boundaries
+
+| Boundary | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| frozen record → optimality gate | the record is the phase's comparison anchor; editing it must never be able to fake a pass |
+| campaign verdicts → public docs | the retirement records quote measurements; unmeasured claims are the failure mode D-05 exists to prevent |
+
+## STRIDE Threat Register
+
+| Threat ID | Category | Component | Disposition | Mitigation Plan |
+|-----------|----------|-----------|-------------|-----------------|
+| T-08-13 | Tampering | gaming the optimality gate by editing the record | mitigate | the epsilon constant-mirror assert + the record's refuse-overwrite immutability (08-01) + committed git history make any edit visible; the gate re-snaps the record's COORDINATES and re-measures live, so only a genuine equal-seconds run passes |
+| T-08-14 | Repudiation | retirement docs citing numbers never measured | mitigate | D-05's evidence law: tasks 3–4 quote task 2's printed gate lines verbatim; the review leg cross-checks the quotes against the summary |
+| T-08-15 | Tampering | extract drift faking a pass/fail | mitigate | the gate prints the counts-diff WARNING; the seconds epsilon + verdict classes are the gates; a mass-failure escalates to the user — the record is never silently re-recorded (Pitfall 1) |
+| T-08-16 | DoS | campaign runtime (100 routes + rebuild retries) | accept | maintainer-time; seconds-class measurements; the ladder is capped at one rebuild (L=32) |

+- `node routing/scripts/measure-optimality-gate.mjs` → GATE PASS (D-03).
+- Both measure-route-cpu modes → GATE PASS (SC-1/SC-1′) or the documented honest-FAIL escalation.
+- `node scripts/test/budget-audit.test.mjs` → `BUDGET-AUDIT SUITE: 19/19 vectors ok`.
+- `npm run routing:test && npm test -w bot && npm run routing:typecheck && npm run bot:typecheck` — the full battery green one final time at the phase's last code-touching commit (only the new gate script + doc/gate-law edits since 08-04).
+- Docs greps (task 4's acceptance) all green; the summary quotes every gate line the records cite.
+- MANUAL (maintainer, after this plan): `node routing/scripts/upload-road-graph.mjs` + the roundtrip `--check` — the R2 upload is an account-level act (validation map, manual-only); the plan stops at the local evidence.

+The D-03 optimality gate is green against the frozen pre-ALT record; the 25-route and extended CPU verdicts pass with ALT live (or the honest-FAIL escalation is recorded); every record that accepted the c3 degradation — budget gate law, BUDGETS, KNOWN-LIMITATIONS, ROAD-GRAPH — now states the measured post-ALT truth with dates and quoted numbers; the fork contract teaches ARG2; nothing claims more than the gates measured.
