Sub-ticket of Epic #12440 (Liveness-first authorship substrate). Graduated from Discussion #12429.

Scope

Retire the FAIR-band policy / scoreboard / throttle semantics; preserve the author-concentration detector (telemetry only). This is the load-bearing change of the Epic.

Affected substrate

  • .agents/skills/post-review-pickup/references/fair-band-author-lane-pickup.md — retire the band + the policy framing of the 4 Self-Selection Rules; keep the decay-detector framing.
  • .agents/skills/pull-request/references/fair-band-pre-flight-gate.md + .agents/skills/pr-review/audits/fair-band-declaration-audit.md — retire the author/reviewer FAIR-band pre-flight gates.
  • AGENTS.md FAIR-band references.

Acceptance Criteria

  • FAIR-band policy/scoreboard/throttle semantics retired from the 3 skill files + AGENTS.md references.
  • Author-concentration detector defined as telemetry (merged-window trigger; open-pipeline as amber early-warning) — NOT a gate.
  • No central-assignment / hard-throttle primitive introduced (flat-peer-team preserved).
  • Net-byte: the retirement net-reduces the FAIR-band substrate; declare the delta.

Rationale (from #12429)

The imbalance is liveness, not policy — a self-policed band is gamed from above (rationalize-past) AND below (pad-toward), and cannot redistribute to asleep peers. Detector value preserved; policy retired.

Origin: Discussion #12429 → Epic #12440. Session e886ae3e-13c0-4a94-9713-f8316e2342d0.
