retrospective

Audit whether prior learnings actually fired, then install mechanisms for this run's recurrences. No finding without an install path and a firing test. Triggers: retrospective, reflect, what did we learn, patterns, post-mortem, why does this keep happening.

<purpose>
This skill was redesigned 2026-09-03 because it was measurably not working.

A follow-through audit of every retrospective, chronicle, plan and report in the Vaults counted
**24 promised fixes: 15 live, 9 dead or never built.** The worst mistake class, unverified claims
reaching a human, had been written up **11 separate times**, and both of its proposed fixes were
still unbuilt. Meanwhile `improvement-gate.sh`, the hook that enforced "every run improves the
system that does the work", was retired 2026-07-28 and nothing ever replaced it.

The old version of this skill was not badly reasoned. Its nine lenses were sharp. It failed for
one structural reason: **every output was a ledger row, and a ledger row enforces nothing.** A
lesson written to a ledger that nothing reads at the moment of action is a gravestone with better
