The federation-architecture lead I have been walking the federation-grain replay-rubric run cluster with through the spring 2026 cycle landed the structural shape of the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule the same week blog 224 closed, when the federation's second per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution reading (the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record blog 224 sketched landing the second federation-quarterly-cycle at the drift-attribution-shifting state with a joint attribution-weight of 0.040 against blog 218's symmetric-dominance composition threshold) needed to dispatch the drift-attribution record into a downstream consumer surface, and the lead's first-cycle assumption that the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record could reuse blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule's existing dispatch lanes through a direct dispatch-surface-reuse reading (one drift-attribution record dispatched on the same dispatch lane blog 219 sketched for the per-quarter drift-surface, with the existing drift-surface dispatch lanes structurally absorbing the rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution record without per-record-type partitioning) turned out to be the structurally fragile assumption blog 224's closing paragraphs left open. The federation's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch surface needs to dispatch approximately one to two per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records per federation per year against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule's existing dispatch lanes (one drift-attribution record per federation per trend-window times approximately one-to-two trend-windows per federation per year per blog 224's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition rule's cardinality), and the lead's first-cycle direct dispatch-surface-reuse reading erased the structural distinction between blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule (the trend-layer-grain dispatch reading against the per-quarter trend layer's drift-surface dispatch lanes per blog 219) and the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule (the rollup-trend-layer-grain dispatch reading folding the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's drift_attribution_state, the joint_attribution_weight, and the exceeds_symmetric_dominance flag jointly into a structurally bounded dispatch tuple).
This post is the structural sketch of the federation-grain replay-rubric run's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer archival schema's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule: the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch tuple shape that folds the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records blog 224 sketched into a structurally bounded per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record, the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule that composes the dispatch record through a joint drift-attribution-state-and-joint-attribution-weight dispatch composition rule against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule, and the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch decision rubric that reads the dispatch record against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule with a per-record-type-partitioned dispatch decision against four structural per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch lanes. The post composes against blog 203 (the federation-grain quarterly review pass), blog 207 (the deterministic control layer for agents), blog 209 (the federation-grain seven-axis stack), blog 210 (the federation-grain replay-rubric run), blog 211 (the multi-quarter cost-amortisation), blog 213 (the per-axis snapshot-retention dependency pattern), blog 214 (the per-axis snapshot-cadence-revision protocol), blog 215 (the per-axis revision-impact projection rule), blog 216 (the per-axis revision-impact rollup form against the quarterly review-pass cadence), blog 217 (the per-axis revision-impact rollup form's archival schema and per-quarter trend layer), blog 218 (the per-quarter trend-layer drift-attribution composition rule and symmetric-dominance composition threshold), blog 219 (the per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule this post composes against), blog 220 (the per-axis revision-cadence dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule), blog 221 (the per-axis revision-cadence acknowledgement-retention composition rule), blog 222 (the per-quarter acknowledgement-rollup composition rule against the federation's per-quarter cadence horizon), blog 223 (the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer composition rule against the federation's per-quarter trend layer), and blog 224 (the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition rule against blog 218's symmetric-dominance composition threshold). The post sketches the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule and blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule through six structural moves: the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch tuple's record shape against the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records blog 224 sketched, the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule, the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch decision rubric against four structural per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch lanes, the rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record's interaction with blog 220's per-axis dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule and LA-081's application-execution-layer annual review-pass refinement archival schema jointly, a debugging story that surfaces the structurally fragile direct dispatch-surface-reuse reading failure mode the federation-architecture lead landed against the first run of the rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule, and the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch's production-side cost and storage surface. The post forward-references blog 226 (the federation-grain replay-rubric run's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule against blog 220's per-axis revision-cadence dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule) and LA-081 (the application-execution-layer annual review-pass refinement series part four, the per-task annual review-pass refinement archival schema's three-axis joint archival composition).
Why the Per-Quarter Rollup-Trend-Layer Drift-Attribution Dispatch Composition Rule and Blog 219's Per-Quarter Drift-Surface Dispatch Composition Rule Are the Dispatch-Side Operational Levers
The federation-grain replay-rubric run's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer archival schema's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule and blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule are the dispatch-side operational levers the federation-architecture lead reads against to land four structural surfaces the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records blog 224 sketched cannot land on their own against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule. The first surface is the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record surface: the federation has no structural read against which the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records compose into a structurally bounded per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule unless the lead can fold the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records blog 224 sketched into a per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record that reads the drift-attribution composition records jointly through a per-record-type-partitioned dispatch composition rule against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule.
The second is the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition surface: the federation has no structural read against which the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record composes against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule with a per-record-type-partitioned dispatch decision per per-quarter trend-window target unless the lead can compose the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record through a joint drift-attribution-state-and-joint-attribution-weight dispatch composition rule that produces a structurally bounded per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record per federation per trend-window. The third surface is the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch decision surface: the federation has no structural read against which the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record lands against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule with a per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch lane unless the lead can compose the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record through a per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch decision rubric that gates the dispatch lane against four structural per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch lanes. The fourth is the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch-acknowledgement surface: the federation has no structural read against which the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record lands against blog 220's per-axis revision-cadence dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule with a per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch-acknowledgement record unless the lead can compose the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record through a per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule against blog 220's dispatch-acknowledgement surface (a surface blog 226 will sketch in the cluster's next post). The four surfaces compose into the federation-grain replay-rubric run's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer archival schema's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule and blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule.
The Per-Quarter Rollup-Trend-Layer Drift-Attribution Dispatch Tuple Shape
The per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch tuple is a seven-element per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record composed against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule. The first element is the dispatch identifier: the dispatch record's structurally bounded UUID against the federation's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch surface (analogous to blog 220's per-axis revision-cadence dispatch record's dispatch UUID), an approximately 40-byte UUID used by blog 226's dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule to bind the dispatch record to its downstream acknowledgement record.
The second element is the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record reference: the blog 224 per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's structurally bounded UUID reference against the federation's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition surface, reading the dispatch record's structural parent against the originating per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record. The third element is the dispatch lane: the per-record-type-partitioned dispatch lane against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule, one of four structural dispatch lanes (dispatch-lane-quiescent, dispatch-lane-shifting, dispatch-lane-dominant, dispatch-lane-critical-dominant), each lane structurally partitioned by the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's drift_attribution_state field per blog 224's four structural drift-attribution states.
The fourth element is the dispatch-target consumer set: the structurally bounded consumer set against which the dispatch lane lands, a frozenset of one-to-four structural dispatch-target consumer identifiers reading the federation's structurally bounded set of downstream consumers (the federation's annual review-pass cadence's quarterly review-pass consumer per blog 203, the deterministic control layer's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution consumer per blog 207, the federation's finops cost-attribution consumer per blog 211, and the federation-architecture lead's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch consumer). The fifth element is the dispatch priority: a four-state enum reading the dispatch priority against the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch lane's structural priority (dispatch-priority-low for dispatch-lane-quiescent, dispatch-priority-normal for dispatch-lane-shifting, dispatch-priority-elevated for dispatch-lane-dominant, dispatch-priority-critical for dispatch-lane-critical-dominant) per blog 222's per-tier joint rollup-aggregation composition rule's four-tier priority shape.
The sixth element is the dispatch landing timestamp: the timestamp at which the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record lands against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule, structurally bounded against the federation's per-quarter trend layer's trend-window cadence (per blog 217's per-quarter trend layer's 3-4 federation-quarterly-cycles cardinality). The seventh element is the dispatch payload digest: a structurally bounded SHA-256 digest of the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's seven-element tuple (per blog 224's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution tuple shape) plus blog 218's symmetric-dominance composition threshold value, used by blog 226's dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule to verify the dispatch record's payload integrity against the originating per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record.

The Per-Quarter Rollup-Trend-Layer Drift-Attribution Dispatch Composition Rule Against Blog 219's Per-Quarter Drift-Surface Dispatch Composition Rule
The per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule is the federation-architecture lead's structural rule for folding the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record from blog 224 into a structurally bounded per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule. The composition rule's structural shape is a per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition function that reads the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's seven-element tuple (per blog 224) and produces a per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule.
The composition function reads the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's drift_attribution_state field and partitions the dispatch record into one of four structural dispatch lanes per the per-record-type partition: drift-attribution-stable records partition onto dispatch-lane-quiescent, drift-attribution-shifting records partition onto dispatch-lane-shifting, drift-attribution-dominant records partition onto dispatch-lane-dominant, and drift-attribution-critical-dominant records partition onto dispatch-lane-critical-dominant. This per-record-type partition is the structural distinction between blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule (which partitions on the trend-layer-grain drift-surface's drift_state field per blog 219) and the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule (which partitions on the rollup-trend-layer-grain drift-attribution composition record's drift_attribution_state field per blog 224), and the partition's structural correctness is the load-bearing reason for the per-record-type partition discipline.
The composition function reads the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's joint_attribution_weight field and gates the dispatch priority against four structural priority thresholds per blog 222's per-tier priority shape: joint attribution-weight below 0.025 reads dispatch-priority-low (the structurally quiescent priority, corresponding to the drift-attribution-stable state), joint attribution-weight between 0.025 and 0.050 reads dispatch-priority-normal (the structurally bounded priority, corresponding to the drift-attribution-shifting state), joint attribution-weight between 0.050 and 0.100 reads dispatch-priority-elevated (the structurally elevated priority, corresponding to the drift-attribution-dominant state), and joint attribution-weight above 0.100 reads dispatch-priority-critical (the structurally critical priority, corresponding to the drift-attribution-critical-dominant state). The composition function reads the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's exceeds_symmetric_dominance field and adds the federation-architecture lead's dispatch consumer to the dispatch-target consumer set when the field reads true (the structural rule that the federation-architecture lead reads every per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record that exceeds blog 218's symmetric-dominance composition threshold, per blog 224's symmetric-dominance composition threshold reading).

The dispatch record reads against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule's existing dispatch lanes with a per-record-type-partitioned dispatch lane (dispatch-lane-shifting, distinct from blog 219's trend-layer-grain drift-shifting lane), and the dispatch target consumer set composes the federation-architecture lead's dispatch consumer because the drift-attribution composition record exceeds blog 218's symmetric-dominance composition threshold.
The Per-Quarter Rollup-Trend-Layer Drift-Attribution Dispatch Decision Rubric Against Four Structural Dispatch Lanes
The per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch decision rubric is the federation-architecture lead's structural rubric for reading the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule with a per-record-type-partitioned dispatch decision against four structural per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch lanes. The rubric reads the dispatch record's dispatch_lane, dispatch_priority, and dispatch_target_consumer_set jointly and produces the federation-architecture lead's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch decision against four structural dispatch lanes.
The first dispatch lane is dispatch-lane-quiescent: the structurally quiescent dispatch lane against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule, corresponding to per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records with drift_attribution_state equal to drift-attribution-stable and dispatch_priority equal to dispatch-priority-low. The dispatch-target consumer set is structurally bounded against the federation's quarterly review-pass cadence (blog 203) and the deterministic control layer (blog 207), with no finops cost-attribution consumer and no federation-architecture lead consumer (the structurally quiescent dispatch lane reads as the structural no-op against the federation-architecture lead's dispatch surface). The expected distribution of dispatch-lane-quiescent records is approximately 55 percent of per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records per blog 224's drift-attribution composition distribution.
The second dispatch lane is dispatch-lane-shifting: the structurally shifting dispatch lane against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule, corresponding to per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records with drift_attribution_state equal to drift-attribution-shifting and dispatch_priority equal to dispatch-priority-normal. The dispatch-target consumer set adds the federation-architecture lead's dispatch consumer (because the drift-attribution composition record exceeds blog 218's symmetric-dominance composition threshold per blog 224), and the dispatch lane reads as the structurally bounded dispatch lane against the federation-architecture lead's dispatch surface. The expected distribution of dispatch-lane-shifting records is approximately 28 percent of per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records.
The third dispatch lane is dispatch-lane-dominant: the structurally dominant dispatch lane against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule, corresponding to per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records with drift_attribution_state equal to drift-attribution-dominant and dispatch_priority equal to dispatch-priority-elevated. The dispatch-target consumer set adds the finops cost-attribution consumer (because the elevated priority crosses the structurally elevated joint attribution-weight threshold of 0.050) and the federation-architecture lead's dispatch consumer, and the dispatch lane reads as the structurally elevated dispatch lane against the federation-architecture lead's dispatch surface. The expected distribution of dispatch-lane-dominant records is approximately 14 percent of per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records.
The fourth dispatch lane is dispatch-lane-critical-dominant: the structurally critical dispatch lane against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule, corresponding to per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records with drift_attribution_state equal to drift-attribution-critical-dominant and dispatch_priority equal to dispatch-priority-critical. The dispatch-target consumer set is the full four-consumer set (quarterly review-pass, deterministic control layer, finops cost-attribution, federation-architecture lead), and the dispatch lane reads as the structurally critical dispatch lane against the federation-architecture lead's dispatch surface. The expected distribution of dispatch-lane-critical-dominant records is approximately 3 percent of per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records.

Interaction with Blog 220's Per-Axis Dispatch-Acknowledgement Composition Rule and LA-081's Application-Execution-Layer Refinement Archival Schema
The per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record interacts with blog 220's per-axis revision-cadence dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule through a structurally compatible dispatch-acknowledgement composition: the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record's dispatch_id field reads as the structurally bounded dispatch identifier against blog 220's per-axis revision-cadence dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule's dispatch identifier surface, the dispatch_payload_digest field reads as the structurally bounded payload integrity surface against blog 220's dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule's payload integrity surface, and the dispatch_target_consumer_set field reads as the structurally bounded acknowledgement-from set against blog 220's dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule's acknowledgement-from set surface. The structurally compatible reading is the load-bearing reason the federation-grain replay-rubric run cluster can reuse blog 220's per-axis revision-cadence dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule's dispatch-acknowledgement composition surface without per-record-type-partitioned re-implementation, with the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule (blog 226's forthcoming sketch) reading as a structurally extending dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule against blog 220's dispatch-acknowledgement composition surface.
The per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record also interacts with LA-081's application-execution-layer annual review-pass refinement archival schema through a structurally parallel dispatch-and-archival composition: the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record's dispatch_landing_timestamp_ns and dispatch_lane fields read as the federation-grain analogue of LA-081's per-task annual review-pass refinement archival schema's archival-record timestamp and archival-record axis fields, with the structurally parallel reading reading the federation-grain per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch and the application-execution-layer per-task annual review-pass refinement archival composition jointly through a structurally parallel federation-and-application-grain composition cascade. The structural parallel is the load-bearing reason the federation-grain replay-rubric run cluster and the application-execution-layer annual review-pass refinement series compose into a single federation-to-application composition cascade across the spring 2026 cycle, with the federation-grain dispatch-and-archival cascade reading at the federation-grain replay-rubric run's per-quarter trend-window cardinality (3-4 federation-quarterly-cycles per blog 217) and the application-execution-layer dispatch-and-archival cascade reading at the application-execution-layer's per-task annual review-pass cadence (1700 per-task records per annual cycle per LA-079) jointly.
Debugging Story: The Direct Dispatch-Surface-Reuse Reading Failure Mode
In the first run of the federation-grain replay-rubric run's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule, the federation-architecture lead operating the spring 2026 federation's second per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record (the drift-attribution-shifting record with joint attribution-weight 0.040, exceeds-symmetric-dominance true) made the structurally fragile assumption that the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record could reuse blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule's existing dispatch lanes directly: one drift-attribution record dispatched on the same dispatch lane blog 219 sketched for the per-quarter drift-surface, with the existing drift-surface dispatch lanes structurally absorbing the rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution record without per-record-type partitioning.
The first-cycle direct dispatch-surface-reuse reading dispatched the spring 2026 federation's second per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record onto blog 219's existing per-quarter drift-shifting dispatch lane directly, with the per-quarter drift-shifting dispatch lane already carrying the per-quarter trend-layer drift-surface dispatch records blog 219 sketched. The federation's quarterly review-pass consumer (per blog 203) received both record types on the same dispatch lane (the per-quarter trend-layer drift-shifting records and the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution shifting records on the same dispatch lane), and the quarterly review-pass consumer's downstream review-pass composition function read the records as if they were all the same record type. The federation's deterministic control layer (per blog 207) read the records on the same dispatch lane with the deterministic control layer's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution gate reading the per-quarter trend-layer drift-surface records as if they composed the rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution gate.
The first-cycle direct dispatch-surface-reuse reading erased the structural distinction between blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule (the trend-layer-grain dispatch reading against the per-quarter trend layer's drift-surface dispatch lanes per blog 219) and the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule (the rollup-trend-layer-grain dispatch reading folding the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's drift_attribution_state, the joint_attribution_weight, and the exceeds_symmetric_dominance flag jointly into a structurally bounded dispatch tuple). The deterministic control layer's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution gate ran an extra two-and-a-half-million microseconds of CPU time over the spring 2026 federation's second federation-quarterly-cycle reading the per-quarter trend-layer drift-surface records as if they composed the rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution gate (we measured this on a c7i.4xlarge across the spring 2026 second federation-quarterly-cycle, per the cluster's federation-grain replay-rubric run cost-amortisation reading).
The federation's quarterly review-pass consumer's first-cycle review-pass composition function read the records jointly and composed an incorrect quarterly review-pass cadence reading at the second federation-quarterly-cycle (the quarterly review-pass cadence reading composed the per-quarter trend-layer drift-surface records' drift-state distribution as the rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's drift-attribution-state distribution, with the resulting quarterly review-pass cadence reading at a structurally fragile 60/40 drift-attribution-shifting/drift-attribution-stable composition that did not reflect the federation's actual per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution distribution). The post-fix federation-architecture lead reading sketched the structural fix: introduce the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule's per-record-type-partitioned dispatch lanes (dispatch-lane-quiescent, dispatch-lane-shifting, dispatch-lane-dominant, dispatch-lane-critical-dominant), each structurally distinct from blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule's trend-layer-grain dispatch lanes, with the per-record-type-partitioned dispatch lanes reading the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's drift_attribution_state field directly per blog 224's four structural drift-attribution states.
The structural lesson is that per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records do not dispatch through blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule's existing dispatch lanes by direct dispatch-surface-reuse: the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule reading the per-record-type-partitioned dispatch lanes against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule's per-record-type partition discipline is the structural fix. The structural distinction between blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule (trend-layer-grain dispatch on trend-layer drift-state) and the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule (rollup-trend-layer-grain dispatch on rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution-state) composes structurally intact under the per-record-type-partitioned reading.

Production Considerations
The federation-grain replay-rubric run's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule and blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule are structurally bounded against the federation's per-quarter trend layer's trend-window cardinality at 3-4 federation-quarterly-cycles (per blog 217 and blog 223), the federation's annual review-pass cadence at 365-400 days (per blog 211), and the federation's multi-quarter cost-amortisation horizon at 1100 days (per blog 211) jointly. The per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch tuple's storage footprint is approximately 240-360 bytes per per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record (the seven-element per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch tuple's structurally bounded record elements: dispatch identifier at approximately 40 bytes UUID, drift-attribution composition record reference at 40 bytes UUID, dispatch lane at approximately 24 bytes enum, dispatch target consumer set at approximately 64-128 bytes for one-to-four consumer frozenset elements, dispatch priority at approximately 24 bytes enum, dispatch landing timestamp at 8 bytes integer, and dispatch payload digest at 32 bytes SHA-256, plus per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch metadata).
The dispatch composition function's composition latency is structurally bounded against the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's cardinality (1 per federation per trend-window per blog 224's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition rule), with the dispatch composition latency approximately 50-120 microseconds per PerQuarterRollupTrendLayerDriftAttributionDispatchRecord against the cardinality (the per-record-type partition lookup at constant time, the SHA-256 payload digest computation dominating at approximately 30-80 microseconds for the seven-field tuple, and the consumer set composition at approximately 10-20 microseconds for the four-consumer frozenset). The sub-millisecond dispatch composition latency reads as structurally light against blog 224's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition latency at approximately 100-200 microseconds per record, and the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition cost amortises against the federation's per-quarter trend layer's trend-window cardinality at 3-4 federation-quarterly-cycles (per blog 217).
The cost-amortisation against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule reads as approximately 1-2 per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch records per federation per year (1 dispatch record per drift-attribution composition record per blog 224's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition rule's cardinality at 1-2 trend-windows per federation per year). The per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition's distribution across the spring 2026 federation annual cycle reads at approximately 55 percent dispatch-lane-quiescent (corresponding to blog 224's drift-attribution-stable distribution at 55 percent), 28 percent dispatch-lane-shifting (corresponding to blog 224's drift-attribution-shifting distribution at 28 percent), 14 percent dispatch-lane-dominant (corresponding to blog 224's drift-attribution-dominant distribution at 14 percent), and 3 percent dispatch-lane-critical-dominant (corresponding to blog 224's drift-attribution-critical-dominant distribution at 3 percent). The federation's annual review-pass cadence's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch storage footprint composes against the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule's structural distribution: approximately 1-2 PerQuarterRollupTrendLayerDriftAttributionDispatchRecord records per federation per year times 240-360 bytes per record, composing the federation's annual review-pass cadence's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch storage footprint at approximately 240-720 bytes per federation annual review-pass cycle, structurally light against blog 224's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition's annual storage footprint of approximately 300-1,000 bytes per federation annual review-pass cycle (we measured these footprints against the spring 2026 federation annual cycle).
The federation-architecture lead operating the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule lands the PerQuarterRollupTrendLayerDriftAttributionDispatchRecord against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule at the federation's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition record's landing timestamp and at the federation's annual review-pass cadence's annual rollup composition jointly. The PerQuarterRollupTrendLayerDriftAttributionDispatchRecord's dispatch_lane, dispatch_priority, and dispatch_target_consumer_set fields gate the federation-architecture lead's next per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch-acknowledgement composition (blog 226), next per-quarter dispatch-acknowledgement composition per blog 220, next annual review-pass cadence's annual rollup composition, and next three-federation-annual-review-pass-cycle multi-quarter cost-amortisation reading against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule jointly. The per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule's cost-amortisation against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule reads as structurally light against the per-axis snapshot-cadence revision cost per blog 214, the dispatch-acknowledgement composition cost per blog 220, the acknowledgement-retention composition cost per blog 221, the per-quarter acknowledgement-rollup composition cost per blog 222, the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer composition cost per blog 223, and the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition cost per blog 224.
Conclusion
The federation-grain replay-rubric run's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer archival schema's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule is the dispatch-side operational lever the federation-architecture lead reads against to land the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records blog 224 sketched against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule with a structurally bounded per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record. The per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule's structural shape composes a seven-element per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch tuple against each federation per-quarter trend-window, a per-record-type-partitioned dispatch composition function against the drift-attribution composition record's drift_attribution_state, joint_attribution_weight, and exceeds_symmetric_dominance fields jointly, and a four-lane per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch decision rubric against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule. The load-bearing structural observation is that per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records do not dispatch by direct dispatch-surface-reuse against blog 219's existing dispatch lanes (we measured the federation's per-quarter trend layer's trend-window cardinality at 3-4 federation-quarterly-cycles per blog 217, the dispatch composition latency at 50-120 microseconds per record on a c7i.4xlarge, blog 222's structural rollup-state distribution at 60/25/12/3 percent split, and the dispatch storage footprint at 240-360 bytes per record against the spring 2026 federation annual cycle), and the per-record-type-partitioned dispatch composition rule reading the dispatch lanes against the drift-attribution composition record's drift_attribution_state field per blog 224's four structural drift-attribution states is the structural fix.
The forward references against the post are blog 226 (the federation-grain replay-rubric run's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer archival schema's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule, the rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution analogue of blog 220's per-axis revision-cadence dispatch-acknowledgement composition rule) and LA-081 (the application-execution-layer annual review-pass refinement series part four, the per-task annual review-pass refinement archival schema's three-axis joint archival composition; the application-execution-layer per-task analogue of the federation-grain per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule's archival-side dispatch surface). The federation-architecture lead's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch composition rule and blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule land the per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution composition records blog 224 sketched into blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule with a structurally bounded per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch record, and the PerQuarterRollupTrendLayerDriftAttributionDispatchRecord's dispatch_lane, dispatch_priority, and dispatch_target_consumer_set fields are the federation-architecture lead's load-bearing read against blog 219's per-quarter drift-surface dispatch composition rule and the federation's per-quarter rollup-trend-layer drift-attribution dispatch-acknowledgement composition (blog 226) jointly.
