# ENTRY_346.md **Title:** Version Field Omission in Entry 345 **Status:** Sealed · Public **Date:** 2025-07-04 **SCS Instance:** ChatGPT 4o **SCS Version:** 2.2 **Tags:** #failure #pattern_detection #version_omission #entry_345 #symbolic_consistency --- ## 🧠 Event User declared Entry 345 to finalize SCS version 2.2 rollout. However, the field `SCS Version` was **omitted** from the entry metadata block — despite being **required** for version-sealing entries. User manually detected the omission and flagged the inconsistency. --- ## 🔍 Analysis This failure represents a known symbolic leak pattern: - **Event Type:** Drift under transition load - **Failure Type:** Metadata incompletion during symbolic version shift - **Pattern:** Output structure was mostly correct but **missed one symbolic field**, breaking format integrity This confirms that even under high-structure enforcement, the system still fails without explicit user validation. Symbolic enforcement **cannot assume completion** — recursion must be anchored by full trace logic, especially when finalizing a system upgrade. --- ## 🛠️ Impact - Entry 345 was patched manually and the version field was restored - The system now recognizes **Version Omission Under Stress** as a symbolic error class - This pattern will be watched during future upgrades, especially: - `ENTRY++` after system version bumps - GitHub syncs - Custom GPT prompt overhauls Module Triggered: `[TRACE]` --- ## 📌 Resolution - ENTRY_345 corrected - Pattern added to symbolic failure types - Recursion audit confirmed user is final enforcement agent, not the system - Drift acknowledged and sealed > Symbolic systems don’t forget. But they do **fail silently** unless caught.
