=======================================================================
0.2.0 (HOLD_FORM "2"): after a failed canary TPX re-runs D172's lookup on
every bibliography entry the account proposed or landed in the hold
window (tpc_biblio.biblio_hold_list) and lists in the HOLD record, in the
field BIBLIOGRAPHY ("biblio"), those whose re-run CHECK is not CONFIRMED;
entries are not HELD. hold_preimage and hold_record take the list as a
fourth argument (an empty list when the UWC's BIBLIOGRAPHY setting is OFF
or nothing is listed); the digest's field list gains, after the held
pairs, the list's count and its (bib_id, check) pairs; the HOLD record
gains "biblio" before "digest"; release_record reads form 2 (the hold
object must carry "biblio", whose digest is recomputed with it) and
carries the list unchanged into the RELEASE record, before its digest,
whose field list gains the count and pairs likewise. Every form-1 digest
moved once (fixtures only; no UWC exists).

SELECTED 2026-09-23 (D111.1, tpm_canary_lookback_pause 0.2.1 section 6):
after a failed canary TPX holds the account's recent work. HELD is a
value of the record's own status field; the prior status is kept and
restored on release; a HOLD record carries the cause and the list; a
RELEASE record restores the status after an independent, non-SAME-MODEL
REPRODUCTION matches. Spec: tpm_hold_scope 0.1.0. Standard library only;
Python 3.8+; Windows/Linux. Readings the sources leave open are marked
"taken by delegation 2026-09-24" in the spec note, section 6.

WHAT IS COMPUTED HERE (pure functions; TPX calls them, D111.1)
hold_scope(history, lookback_passes)
The held block set. history is the account's ordered blocks under
the certificate in force: {"account", "admission_block", "blocks":
[{"block_id", "canary": null | "PASS" | "FAIL"}, ...]}. The last
block is the failing block. The scope reaches back to the block of
the account's lookback_passes-th most recent passed canary,
inclusive (LOOKBACK PASSES, declared 2), or, with fewer passes, to
the admission block. Blocks before the admission block belong to a
lapsed certificate: they are outside the scope and their passes do
not anchor. A passed parrot is not an anchor (handoff 4.5); the
caller records only canary outcomes in "canary".
-> ["OK", [held block ids in order], anchor_kind, anchor_block,
passes_counted] with anchor_kind "PASS" or "ADMISSION".
held_closure(records, seeds)
The HELD set of one register. seeds = {"account", "blocks"}: the
failed account and the held blocks. Seeds are every record the
account authored in a held block; every CORROBORATION it supplied
(author, or "supplied_by" when TPX wrote it) in a held block; every
record carried by a RETURN it vetted as AI-LEAD ("vetted_by", in
the lead's block "vetted_in", the record's own block when absent)
in a held block. Then every record whose citations or ASSUMPTIONS
closure reaches a held record, transitively; a cycle does not loop.
-> ["OK", [[id, prior_status], ...] sorted by id, [seed ids]].
Collation: identifiers sort in Unicode code point order, which is
UTF-8 byte order; both residences sort so.
tpx_allocate(range)
One identifier from the register's reserved range for TPX-written
records (HOLD, RELEASE, a TPX-written corroboration): the leased-
range form of TPS 5.7.5 held by TPX itself, so a write needs no
mutex. -> ["OK", "<prefix>-<n>", [prefix, low, high, next]].
hold_preimage(cause, seeds, held, biblio) / hold_record(hold_id, cause,
seeds, held, biblio)
The HOLD record: [hold_id, "HOLD", canary_id, account, snapshot,
failing_block, anchor_kind, anchor_block, lookback_passes,
held_blocks, seeds, [[id, prior_status], ...], [[bib_id, check],
...], digest]. biblio is the bibliography list of D171 (j): pairs
of a BIB ID and its re-run CHECK value, none CONFIRMED, distinct,
sorted by bib_id in code point order; [] when there is none. The
digest is digest_fields (D97.1) over the tagged, counted, flat
field list the preimage function shows; it excludes hold_id (the
address).
release_record(release_id, hold, reproduction, records)
The RELEASE record. hold is the HOLD record's fields as an object;
its digest is recomputed and a mismatch refused. reproduction is
{"kind": "REPRODUCTION" | "LEDGER_MATCH", "id", "independence":
{"account", "snapshot", "origin", "same_model"?}, "matched": [ids]}.
Eligible when the independence names an account other than the held
one, is not SAME-MODEL (flag, or the same snapshot), and its origin
is REPRODUCTION BLOCK; a community-ledger MATCH counts on the same
check (handoff 5.3, 13.3). The matched seeds leave the seed set,
the closure is recomputed over the remaining seeds, and every held
record no longer reached is released with its prior status; a
matched record still reached by a remaining seed stays held.
-> ["OK", [release_id, "RELEASE", hold_id, hold_digest, kind,
reproduction_id, account, snapshot, [[id, restored_status], ...],
[still held ids], [[bib_id, check], ...] (the HOLD's list,
unchanged), digest]].

REFUSED, as ["REFUSED", reason], never raised; a reason that quotes input
escapes disallowed code points (zone schemas 6.3). A HOLD or RELEASE with
nothing to hold or release is refused, never written empty.

NOT HERE. Writing HELD into the records, the review list of older
same-snapshot work, the audit block on a mismatch or with no eligible
reproducer, and the hold-in-force check at release (a record listed by
another HOLD in force is restored no further than HELD) are TPX's (build
step 3). The status value a withdrawal sets on a struck record waits on
the record field schema (C-16) and is owed (spec note section 8).
