M5a plan: tasks 21 and 22, from the device check

21: the ledger raises a session's state by the stricter of the grant's
label and the result's own, so a clean session that recalls a
memory-tainted note becomes untrusted and cannot write it into
memory.md (found on straylight, 2026-09-25). 22: the answers to a note
name notes.md, and for an untrusted add the file that was not changed.
The new given tests are ledger_label.rs and new versions of memoryd's
edit.rs and serve.rs; the old copies are kept as -task06 and -task10. On
a scratch tree at the end of task 20: the named tests fail and then pass,
5 and 4 mutations are caught, and the gate passes with 944 tests.

+# M5a task 21: a session's state follows the result's own label
+
+**Branch:** `m5a` (run `git switch m5a`; `git status --short` must be empty, otherwise stop)
+**Commit subject:** `brokerd: the ledger raises a session's state by the stricter label`
+
+## Goal
+
+A fix for a hole the M5a device check found (2026-09-25). After every tool call, the ledger raises
+the session's state (its taint and whether it has read untrusted content). It used the label of
+the **grant** the call ran under, never the label on the result. Before M5a they were always the
+same. Now `memoryd` can make a result stricter: a `recall` that finds a `memory-tainted` note
+answers `untrusted`. The runner already combines the two labels, and the audit log records the
+combined one, but the session stayed trusted. So a clean session could recall a note written after
+a fetched page, then `add` it to `memory.md` as identity. On the device, that is what happened.
+
+The fix: in `Ledger::finish`, raise the state by the stricter of the grant's label and the
+result's own: the higher class, and untrusted if either is (M5a spec, section 8, as changed in
+`0e5b1d2`).
+
+## Files
+
+- Copy: the new test `crates/brokerd/tests/ledger_label.rs`, from `docs/plans/M5a/files/` (the
+  same path under it)
+- Modify: `crates/brokerd/src/ledger/answer.rs`, `docs/implementer-log.md`
+
+## The edits, exactly
+
+Both are in `crates/brokerd/src/ledger/answer.rs`. Nothing else in the file changes.
+
+**1.** The line
+
+```rust

+```
+
+becomes
+
+```rust
+use crate::policy::{Ask, Denial, Label, SessionState};
+```
+
+**2.** In `finish`, the lines
+
+```rust
+            // 3. A result raises the state, then is recorded.
+            ToolResponse::Result { .. } => {
+                let raised = match self.state_read(&guard, &call.session) {
+                    Ok(state) => match guard.state.raise(&call.session, state, call.label) {
+```
+
+become
+
+```rust
+            // 3. A result raises the state, then is recorded. The state follows the stricter of
+            //    the grant's label and the result's own: `memoryd` can make a result stricter.
+            ToolResponse::Result {
+                class, untrusted, ..
+            } => {
+                let label = Label {
+                    class: call.label.class.max(*class),
+                    untrusted: call.label.untrusted || *untrusted,
+                };
+                let raised = match self.state_read(&guard, &call.session) {
+                    Ok(state) => match guard.state.raise(&call.session, state, label) {
+```
+
+The lines after them (`Ok(raised) => raised,` and on) stay as they are.
+
+## Steps
+
+- [ ] **1. Copy the test:**
+  `cp docs/plans/M5a/files/crates/brokerd/tests/ledger_label.rs crates/brokerd/tests/`
+- [ ] **2. See it fail.** `cargo test -p brokerd --test ledger_label`. Expected: two tests fail,
+  `a_recall_of_a_tainted_note_makes_a_clean_session_untrusted` and
+  `a_result_of_a_higher_class_than_its_grant_raises_the_taint`. The third,
+  `a_result_laxer_than_its_grant_still_raises_the_state_by_the_grant`, already passes; it guards
+  what must not change.
+- [ ] **3. Make the two edits.** Run `cargo fmt --all`.
+- [ ] **4. See it pass.** `cargo test -p brokerd --test ledger_label`: all three pass. Then
+  `cargo test -p brokerd`: every suite passes.
+- [ ] **5. Run the gate.** `make gate`, with a shell timeout of at least 600000 ms: on titan, while
+  it serves Ornith, the gate takes longer than 2 minutes. Expected last line: `gate: ok`, with 944
+  tests (941 before this task, plus the three new ones).
+- [ ] **6. Log and commit.** `git add crates/brokerd docs/implementer-log.md && git commit`
+
+## Done when
+
+- `make gate` prints `gate: ok` with 944 tests.
+
+## Stop and report if
+
+- Either quoted block is not in the file exactly as shown.
+- Step 2 shows a different set of failing tests than the two named.
+- A test other than these three fails after the edits. Do not change a test.

+# M5a task 22: the answers to a note say where it went
+
+**Branch:** `m5a` (run `git switch m5a`; `git status --short` must be empty, otherwise stop)
+**Commit subject:** `memoryd: note answers name notes.md and the file that was not changed`
+
+## Goal
+
+A fix for what the M5a device check showed (2026-09-25). In a session that has read untrusted
+content, an `add` to `memory.md` or `user.md` is saved as an untrusted note instead. `memoryd`
+answered `saved as a note (untrusted): this session has read untrusted content`, and a `note`
+answered `noted (untrusted)`. Both times the model told the owner "Added to memory.md", which was
+false. The new answers name `notes.md`, and for an `add` also the file that was not changed (M5a
+spec, section 3, as changed in `0e5b1d2`):
+
+| Case | Before | After |
+|---|---|---|
+| `note`, clean session | `noted` | `saved in notes.md` |
+| `note`, untrusted session | `noted (untrusted)` | `saved in notes.md, marked untrusted: this session has read untrusted content` |
+| `add`, untrusted session | `saved as a note (untrusted): this session has read untrusted content` | `not added to memory.md: this session has read untrusted content, so it was saved in notes.md as an untrusted note` (`user.md` for the other file) |
+
+Nothing else changes: the note written to `notes.md`, its header and the journal stay the same.
+
+## Files
+
+- Copy: **new versions** of the given `crates/memoryd/tests/edit.rs` and
+  `crates/memoryd/tests/serve.rs`, from `docs/plans/M5a/files/` (the same paths under it). Do not
+  copy `edit.rs-task06` or `serve.rs-task10`; they are the older versions.
+- Modify: `crates/memoryd/src/edit.rs`, `docs/implementer-log.md`
+
+## The edits, exactly
+
+All in `crates/memoryd/src/edit.rs`. Nothing else in the file changes.
+
+**1.** The three lines
+
+```rust
+/// The answer when an untrusted session's `add` became a note.
+pub const SAVED_AS_NOTE: &str =
+    "saved as a note (untrusted): this session has read untrusted content";
+```
+
+become
+
+```rust
+/// The answer when an untrusted session's `add` became a note. It names the file it did not change:
+/// on the device the model read a shorter answer as success.
+pub fn saved_as_note(file: MemoryFile) -> String {
+    format!(
+        "not added to {}: this session has read untrusted content, so it was saved in notes.md as an untrusted note",
+        file.name()
+    )
+}
+
+/// The answer to a `note` from a session that has not read untrusted content.
+pub const NOTED: &str = "saved in notes.md";
+
+/// The answer to a `note` from a session that has read untrusted content.
+pub const NOTED_UNTRUSTED: &str =
+    "saved in notes.md, marked untrusted: this session has read untrusted content";
+```
+
+The `format!` string stays on one line, longer than 100 characters; `cargo fmt` leaves it so.
+
+**2.** In `apply`, the comment line
+
+```rust
+    //    replaced by SAVED_AS_NOTE; any other action -> Err(untrusted_refusal(file)).
+```
+
+becomes
+
+```rust
+    //    replaced by saved_as_note(file); any other action -> Err(untrusted_refusal(file)).
+```
+
+and, a few lines below it, the line
+
+```rust
+                    answer: SAVED_AS_NOTE.to_string(),
+```
+
+becomes
+
+```rust
+                    answer: saved_as_note(file),
+```
+
+**3.** In `noted`, the two lines
+
+```rust
+            "noted (untrusted)"
+```
+
+and
+
+```rust
+            "noted"
+```
+
+become `NOTED_UNTRUSTED` and `NOTED`, so the block reads:
+
+```rust
+        answer: if ctx.untrusted {
+            NOTED_UNTRUSTED
+        } else {
+            NOTED
+        }
+        .to_string(),
+```
+
+After the edits, `grep -rn SAVED_AS_NOTE crates/` prints nothing.
+
+## Steps
+
+- [ ] **1. Copy the two tests:**
+  `cp docs/plans/M5a/files/crates/memoryd/tests/edit.rs docs/plans/M5a/files/crates/memoryd/tests/serve.rs crates/memoryd/tests/`
+- [ ] **2. See them fail.** `cargo test --no-fail-fast -p memoryd --test edit --test serve`.
+  Expected: four tests fail, `a_note_is_labelled_by_the_session` and
+  `an_untrusted_session_can_take_notes_but_not_change_identity` in `edit`, and
+  `an_untrusted_session_writes_notes_not_identity` and `review_holds_identity_writes_but_not_notes`
+  in `serve`. Every other test passes.
+- [ ] **3. Make the edits.** Run `cargo fmt --all`.
