Lock the cascade's nature-half deliverable to "reads alive anywhere", not
"implemented" — the holy-grail objective surfaced by probing the generation
cascade.
- D-245 (architecture): the nature layers are accepted only when the
believability litmus passes at randomly-sampled locations across all
habitable bodies/seeds — multi-scale + never-repeating (macro identity,
meso non-stationarity, micro mosaic), coherence + non-stationarity +
intra-class variety + relief + climate-appropriateness, automated screen
under a human sign-off, budgeted -> strict. Q-123: threshold calibration.
- T-1079 (epic, north-star, DoD=D-245) + findings T-1080 (uniform climate
fields), T-1081 (near-zero relief), T-1082 (no water-body generator),
T-1084 (intra-class micro-habitat mosaic), and T-1083 (the repeatable
believability test protocol / D-245 enforcer).
- aliveness_probe bin: the exploratory probe that found these (runs the
deterministic cascade for a body+seed, reports per-district nature +
verdict). Seed for T-1083.

Rewrites the committed .pql/changelog/ from the old T-NNN-keyed format to
the record_id identity model (pql 1.10.0, D-26): tickets keyed by a ULID
record_id, the friendly T-NNN in ticket_idmap, references and hashes
recomputed. Produced by the one-off cmd/migrate-ids in the pql repo.
Other clones: install pql >= 1.10.0, then rm .pql/pql.db && pql plan
rebuild to regenerate the local DB from this changelog.

Replaces the labels-as-milestones pattern (carried over from the retired SQLite
milestone subsystem) with pql's native initiative/epic hierarchy, which already
modelled this: initiative T-745 (Development Cascade) holds the six phases as epics.
A ticket is in a phase by being parented under that phase epic — self-maintaining,
no label to apply or forget.
The `phase:4` label had already drifted (66 tickets under the Phase-4 epic T-750 but
only 42 labelled). Fixes:
- T-750 (Phase 4) -> in_progress to mark the active phase (sequential per D-166).
- Re-parented the 2 strays (T-974 Atlas-to-tile epic, T-1008 economy task) under T-750.
- Dropped all 42 phase:4 labels (tombstoned in the changelog).
- /whats-next, /ticket, ticket-cli.md, CLAUDE.md now gate on
`pql ticket list --under <active-phase-epic> --unblocked` instead of `--label phase:4`.
- Fixed the label-action verb in the docs: pql uses `add|rm`, not `add|remove`.
- pql-requirements #9 flipped: no milestone entity / labels-as-milestones needed — the
initiative/epic tree is the answer.
Verified: `pql plan rebuild` reconstructs the mutations; `--under T-750 --unblocked`
returns the active phase's ready work.

One-way ticket data migration from the legacy settledreach.db into pql's
git-tracked changelog. Establishes the T-N == #N id bijection (old #440 -> T-440)
so thousands of #NNN git-commit references stay a trivial mapping.
Migrated (verified by full `pql plan rebuild` from changelog):
- 1013 tickets (status + type distributions match source exactly)
- 481 dependencies
- 16 history rows (deterministic content hash so ON CONFLICT(hash) dedups)
- 90 labels = 48 source + 42 milestone-derived
(active "Phase 4" milestone -> phase:4; "Process Rewire" ->
milestone:process-rewire; milestone_deps was empty/vestigial)
Transforms: ids T-prefixed, sprint_id dropped (legacy/archival), decision_ref
and the one 'server,client' comma-team (#575) kept verbatim, deleted_at NULL,
canonical_version 1. Seeded rows carry hash=NULL on tickets/deps/labels — proven
safe: PK-based ON CONFLICT, updated_at drives LWW, and replay is idempotent.
Key finding that dissolves pql-requirements item #1 ("Critical"): seeding via
direct-INSERT does NOT require explicit ticket ids from `ticket new`. The id
counter derives from max(id), so after seeding T-1..T-1021 the next native
`pql ticket new` mints T-1022 — no recycling, no collision. The blocker only
applied to the `ticket new --id` path we never use for bulk seeding.
Scaffolding: .pql/changelog/<table>/0000-schema.sql (canonical pql 1.6.2 schema,
byte-identical across the 4 table dirs) + .gitattributes union-merge driver so
changelog SQL never produces binary-style merge conflicts. Seed is reproducible
via tooling/pql-migrate/seed_tickets.py (read-only on the source, idempotent).
