    "RESOLVED 2026-09-03: scheduler-core reached implementation-complete (2026-08-19). scheduler-dispatch-commit reached implementation-complete (2026-08-24), including bug-1624 (task 2.1/3.1, 2026-08-23), the resInUse/sharedInUse corruption this spec's try_alloc_on_host() sequencing note was waiting on.",
    "RESOLVED 2026-09-04: requirements.md approved after extensive review -- 7 original findings plus several more surfaced during live design discussion (a self-contradiction in the parjob_allocator changes section, a plan/host-iterator init calling-convention mismatch vs. the declared struct interface, and a real correctness bug in the composition algorithm: host_iter was shared/forward-only across all buckets of a multi-bucket plan instead of freshly re-scanned per bucket, which would silently drop solvable multi-host allocations), all fixed in place; brief.md brought back into alignment with requirements.md's corrected architecture (it had drifted, still showing the pre-fix 2-level algorithm). Two adjacent, pre-existing gaps found along the way (sched_make_compound_allocation()'s missing rollback on partial failure; the recurring schedobj-reconstruction-duplication pattern in snapshot_load.c) logged as bug-1766/bug-1767 and deliberately kept out of this spec's boundary. No remaining blocker -- design phase clear to start."
