Fix the claim rules per task mode, so Epic C can enforce them. Three modes (docs/SCOPE.md terminology): solo (one crow, first claim wins, loser notified), split (distinct subtasks, one owner each, first claim per subtask wins), conspiracy (several crows take the SAME task for distinct perspectives — multiple claims are EXPECTED, never arbitrated away). Decide when each mode applies and confirm conspiracy claims are not deduplicated.
Acceptance criteria — falsifiable checks
CHATROOM_SPEC.md section 4's "First claim wins" rule is amended to state it applies to solo/split only, and a new clause says conspiracy explicitly welcomes multiple claims. grep -qi 'conspiracy' CHATROOM_SPEC.md — fails now, passes after.
The rule replaces open question framing with a [decided YYYY-MM-DD] line for claim classes. grep -qE 'claim.*\[decided' CHATROOM_SPEC.md — fails now.
Depends conceptually on A1 (how a request/message is classified into a mode) and the Jev score probe (A5) if mode detection uses Jev. Decide mode names now even if detection is built in C.
Epic: #1. Depends on: none (Smokey's decision)
## Goal
Fix the claim rules per task mode, so Epic C can enforce them. Three modes (docs/SCOPE.md terminology): `solo` (one crow, first claim wins, loser notified), `split` (distinct subtasks, one owner each, first claim per subtask wins), `conspiracy` (several crows take the SAME task for distinct perspectives — multiple claims are EXPECTED, never arbitrated away). Decide when each mode applies and confirm conspiracy claims are not deduplicated.
## Acceptance criteria — falsifiable checks
1. `CHATROOM_SPEC.md` section 4's "First claim wins" rule is amended to state it applies to solo/split only, and a new clause says conspiracy explicitly welcomes multiple claims. `grep -qi 'conspiracy' CHATROOM_SPEC.md` — fails now, passes after.
2. The rule replaces open question framing with a `[decided YYYY-MM-DD]` line for claim classes. `grep -qE 'claim.*\[decided' CHATROOM_SPEC.md` — fails now.
## Test command
`grep -qi 'conspiracy' CHATROOM_SPEC.md && grep -qE 'claim.*\[decided' CHATROOM_SPEC.md && echo PASS`
## Blockers / unknowns
Depends conceptually on A1 (how a request/message is classified into a mode) and the Jev `score` probe (A5) if mode detection uses Jev. Decide mode names now even if detection is built in C.
Decided 2026-10-27 by Smokey: solo/split first-claim-wins; conspiracy expects multiple claims (several crows, same task, distinct strengths — no arbitration/dedup; restaters get a review nudge). Mode comes from Jev complexity classification. In CHATROOM_SPEC.md section 4 (rule) + section 11.
