Retirement Lab evidence

A full spec that passed directly

The complete instruction, focused code and tests, run telemetry, gate results, and independent review for a clean 860-line Retirement Lab change.

PR #908 implemented bounded process parallelism for multi-point simulation jobs. This is the larger spec implement path: the committed spec defines ordering, random seeding, cancellation, worker boundaries, deployment controls, tests, and explicit non-goals before implementation begins.

Source material

What it demonstrates

This is concrete evidence that a nontrivial change can move from a committed specification through implementation, independent verification, review, and merge without a recorded operator action after implementation starts. The focused diff shows that “passed directly” did not mean a trivial patch: it introduced a reusable process helper and its concurrency/order tests.
