4. Plan

(Implementation strategy. Written when work starts; key decisions are distilled into the parent story's * Decisions at close, but the plan itself stays — it is the historical record of what we did.)

5. Measurements

Every number this task claims about a tree, with the command that produced it and the commit it was measured at. A number without both is not a measurement, because a clean-up record describes a tree and trunk moves under a branch: a consumer count, a gate's component count and a suite's size all change with no code changing, and the reader of a bare number cannot tell which tree it came from. Where the raw output matters, put it in an evidence/ file beside the task and name that file in the Command column.

10. Result

The ORE XML binding and record readers parse reals with ores::platform::numeric::parse_double. They no longer call the floating-point std::from_chars, which libc++ on Apple deletes. Three call sites changed: two in binding.cpp and one in record.cpp. The integer from_chars calls stay. The ores.ore.core.tests suite passes on Linux. Only the macOS job proves the compile fix.
