Step Forty-Nine — Recursive mediation; cascade catalogs; CI ledger.(Tree mediation • Cascade ancestry • Sequence-linked ledger)

✅ Fresh artifacts

What’s new — precisely

🌳 Recursive mediation tree
  • Open case:
    POST /admin/mediation/open with optional "parent":"MED-123"
  • Resolve case:
    POST /admin/mediation/resolve with decision
  • Index tree:
    GET /mediation/cases → returns full parent–child hierarchy.

→ Any mediation case can spawn children to break down disputes recursively.

🌐 Clearinghouse cascade catalogs (ancestry)
  • Publish:
    POST /clearinghouse/publish with {root, parent?, body, signature}
  • Catalog:
    GET /clearinghouse/catalog → returns bulletins plus an ancestry map of parent links.

→ Builds a cascade DAG of bulletins to track lineage and relay ancestry.

🧾 CI ledger (seq-linked)
  • Stamp:
    POST /ci/stamp with {id,content}
    → Creates ci_ledger_receipt with seq number and prev hash.
  • Ledger:
    Written to ci/ledger.jsonl, each entry hash-linked for immutability.

→ Provides chronological ordering + integrity like a ledgered blockchain.

WordPress — Step 49 (paste-ready)

## Step 49 — Recursive mediation; cascade catalogs; CI ledger

**New capabilities**
- **Recursive mediation**  
  - `POST /admin/mediation/open` (with optional `parent`)  
  - `POST /admin/mediation/resolve` → resolve with decision  
  - `GET /mediation/cases` → full tree of mediation cases

- **Clearinghouse cascade (ancestry)**  
  - `POST /clearinghouse/publish` with `{root,parent?,body,signature}`  
  - `GET /clearinghouse/catalog` → bulletins + ancestry map

- **CI ledger (seq-linked)**  
  - `POST /ci/stamp` → sequential receipt with `seq` + `prev` hash  
  - Ledger in `ci/ledger.jsonl`

**Run**
```bash
python solveforce_phone_fortynine.py
# http://0.0.0.0:8080

## Logos Codex — recursion in dispute, broadcast, and record

- **Mediation becomes fractal.** Disputes sprout sub-disputes until coherence is restored.  
- **Catalogs gain memory.** A cascade ledger ensures ancestry is never lost.  
- **Receipts keep count.** A sequential number and hash prove not just what, but *when*.
