The Claude-tool doorway said "Save format is currently v26" while save.rs (its named authority) is v27 — bumped by the people-tokens carried-task ledger that landed 2026-07-12. The prior entry-doc tick corrected AGENTS.md v25->v27 but left this sibling guardrail stale. Tick: audited wiki/mechanics/people-tokens.md (clean — carrier reads, USEFUL_WORK_TRUST, CarriedAssetTask, person_state_color, five named pins, and SAVE_VERSION 27 all match the spec) and acted on the stale doorway claim it exposed. Defense: the doorway is a current-state guardrail every session reads before setup; a "currently v26" line that save.rs contradicts misinforms every future tick. Single current-state correction, no code or contract change; docs gate green.
