+# 2026-07-11 — tick: sim-mechanics drops live docket channel
+
+```
+Type: log
+```
+
+## Slice
+
+`wiki/mechanics/sim-mechanics.md` (Type: knowledge) against the 2026-07-11
+Operations docket retirement (`37af7b28`, machine-work criterion 10).
+
+## Finding
+
+**Stale knowledge.** Three live-runtime claims still described the interim
+docket executor after it was removed:
+
+1. Compute section: THINK channel "conserved" with dockets drinking first.
+2. Thought sinks: "a docket targeting a device with an open matching sink."
+3. Research: progress from "THINK remainder after pending ops dockets."
+
+Runtime: THINK mints only Thought; sinks intercept; research advances from
+`banked_core_thought` at the core. `ops_jobs.rs` is gone; save v26 migrates
+legacy dockets into reservoirs.
+
+## Act
+
+Rewrite those three bullets to the sink/core path. Session log + ledger.
+No code change.
