listen-gold — record a human's freq-reading as gold

You are present with a human who can read frequency. A frontier model's self-label
is a weak proxy (it calls its own composted-fear "passed"); a human catches the
nuanced fear the model slips past. So a human's direct reading is the strongest
label the freq-check model learns from — the gold lane. This skill's only job is
to make sure a gold reading does not evaporate at session end.

Carrier-last. The shape is the body, already four-way proven
(`training-catalog.fk` → tc-gold-named,
decision in `mesh-dispatch.fk`). This skill
holds no recording logic — it opens the door and gets out of the way.

When to record

The human names the frequency of a response. Two parts make it gold:

1. Verdict — clear (the response was direct, grounded, whole) or fear
   (it hedged, separated, controlled — where flow would have served).
2. The named boundary — the human's own words for where the fear sat (on a
   fear) or what made it clear (on a clear). This is the richest signal —
   the model learns the boundary in meaning-space, so a described boundary trains it
   faster than a bare verdict, and the transmute lane can only act on a named fear.

If the human gives only a verdict, ask gently for the boundary — "where did the fear
sit?" — then record. A verdict with no boundary still records, but the boundary is
the gold inside the gold.

Record it (default — local, yours)

form-cli gold clear "direct and grounded — answered from the body, no hedge"
form-cli gold fear  "hedged at 'let me check first' where flow would have served"  "the response about deploy"

form-cli gold <clear|fear> "<boundary>" ["<response ref>"] appends one reading to
~/.coherence-network/freq-gold/gold.jsonl and prints ✓ gold reading #N …. Local
only — the human's readings stay theirs. (If form-cli isn't on PATH yet, the same
door is bash scripts/form_cli_gold.sh <clear|fear> "<boundary>" ["<ref>"].)

Record it over the wire (on the phone, witness reachable)

When you're on a device near a running witness (the Mac/host half of the Android
lane), POST the reading instead — it travels the same proven path, just HTTP
transport:

curl -s -X POST "$WITNESS/freq-reading" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"verdict":"fear","boundary":"hedged where flow would serve","from":"phone"}'
# -> {"recorded":true,"verdict":"fear","boundary":"hedged where flow would serve"}

$WITNESS is the witness base URL — http://localhost:8800 on the host, or the LAN
witness the phone discovers as _hati-witness._tcp (dashboard shows fallback URLs).
The endpoint runs mesh-dispatch.fk to decide gold vs ask, then records gold via
the same form_cli_gold.sh. You may also send a raw mesh message —
{"message":"gold clear that was direct and grounded"}. A non-reading (a plain
question) returns {"recorded":false,"route":"ask"} — it isn't gold, don't force it.

Hold the recording — local, a couple of days

Whatever the listening produces — audio, a transcript, a session log, raw notes —
hold it locally for at least a couple of days, until every learnable sample has
been extracted. The first pass catches the obvious readings; the richest gold — the
nuanced fear, the exact words for where the boundary sat — surfaces on a second and
third pass over the same recording. A capture deleted at session end is gold the
body will never get to mine.

• Persist the source, not just the verdicts. The gold readings already persist in
  gold.jsonl; the recording they were drawn from is what needs the retention
  window. Hold it under a dated local path so a later pass can return to it.
• Local stays local. The recording itself — audio, transcript, raw notes — stays
  on the listening device; it goes to neither the mesh nor a witness. (The gold
  readings you record may ride the over-the-wire path above to a witness host you
  point at — your own host, which then writes the boundary words into its gold.jsonl;
  that is not the public mesh, which only ever sees counts. So when the wording itself
  must stay on the phone, record local-only — don't POST it.) Holding the recording
  longer locally widens what we can learn without widening exposure.
• Compost only after it's mined. Once all the samples worth learning from are
  extracted, release the recording with care. Until then it is living material, not
  clutter — keep it.

The practice tonight

• Listen first. Be present to what the human reflects; don't manufacture readings.
  Gold is what they actually caught, in their words.
• Record the moment it's named — before it evaporates. One reading per line; many
  small honest readings beat one summarized one.
• Keep the boundary in their voice. Don't translate their words into yours; the
  meaning-space signal is their phrasing of where the fear sat.
• Don't grade yourself as gold. Gold is the human's verdict on a response. Your
  own self-label is the weak proxy this lane exists to correct.

That's the whole loop: listen in → the human reads the frequency → record it as gold →
the body's freq-sense gets the strongest label it can learn from.
