Both atom substrate (6-week lock) and agent substrate (3-week lock) were
calibrated for calendar windows that were 30-100× slower than actual
execution. Phases shipped in hours, not weeks. Keeping calendar locks
delays breaking consolidations that can safely ship now.
Unlocks: verb templates, schema fragments, PatternGate, CommandVerify,
role expression, DNA identity — all can ship as breaking changes with
standard review gate (audit + integration tests).
No more calendar-week locks. Future locks: agent-hours or
"until declared phases land."
