📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

docs/BEARING.md is updated to reflect v18 planning state post-PR #104 integration. The boundary snapshot, progress statement, roadmap narrative, and task list are restructured and expanded to clarify remaining release prerequisites and provide a detailed thirty-slice rollout plan with staged work phases and comprehensive checklists.

Changes

V18 Planning Update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Snapshot and status update docs/BEARING.md	Boundary snapshot metadata is refreshed to reflect PR #104 integration and fast-forwarded origin/main state. The progress statement clarifies remaining prerequisites before v18 public compatibility: production-runtime scratch replay, wet-run migration proof, generated contract evidence, and release documentation.
Detailed roadmap and planning structure docs/BEARING.md	"Where We Are Heading" is expanded with a structured thirty-slice plan assumption, staged work groups (confidence / finalization CLI safety / generated contract tie-back / content/property debt / release-candidate hardening), and comprehensive Next Thirty-Slice Checklist, User Stories, Acceptance Criteria, and Test Plan sections.
Extended running task list docs/BEARING.md	Task list is extended with granular work items for slices 67–95, covering production-runtime scratch replay, wet-run harnessing and reporting, finalization CLI confirmation, generated contract ingestion and conformance, content attachment storage cutover, property-boundary retirement, and release-candidate documentation.

Poem

A rabbit hops through planning trees, 🐰
Charting slices thirty-deep with ease,
Where we were, where we're going clear,
Each checklist marks the path sincere,
v18's finish line draws near!
