Echel profile verification

Verification

I checked all ten axes of the memory profile against the handed records and their annotations, applying the supplied profile definitions. Reconciliation's duplicate supersessions were resolved before judging support. The profile uses the surviving memory declarations for Run, Evidence, clarification, query, finding maintenance and staleness. Family containers and their independently described parts remain distinct. No source reads, new evidence or quotations were needed. The supplied profile answers are empty; there is no supplied refusal to treat as an established objection.

The comparison scope preserves the canonical/legacy split. It includes project memory, access structures and operational recovery objects, but excludes external provider memory, external artifact bytes, static skills, contributor history and synthetic benchmark artifacts. Consequently neither external model parameters nor static instructions establish additional memory values here. The composition mismatch and alternate admission paths remain visible in RT-RTE-idea-init, RT-RTE-file-workflow and RT-RTE-compile-run.

  • Storage substrate: The files and SQLite findings are supported by MEM-OBJ-canonical-records, MEM-OBJ-disposable-index, MEM-OBJ-run, MEM-OBJ-evidence and MEM-OBJ-recovery-state, together with the legacy workflow route. Known storage coverage does not require resolved specialized adoption consumers. Neither JSON encoding nor relationship edges establish another substrate.
  • Representational form: The profile separates readable content from fixed-rule fields and their consumption. EPI-OBJ-knowledge-record, EPI-OBJ-work-item, RT-BAP-context-prompt and the canonical/index/recovery records support natural-language and symbolic findings. Excluded payloads are not classified from their access metadata. No included opaque numerical part is established by the handed inventory that would defeat the bounded known assessment.
  • Lineage: Authored acquisition, portable import, execution-result extraction and deterministic derivation have separate witnesses. EPI-RTE-portable-import establishes transfer without resolving pre-transfer origin; MEM-OBJ-run distinguishes preview artifacts from executed stdout. The partial assessment retains caller-dependent initial provenance instead of treating one derivation path as exhaustive history.
  • Behavioral authority: Instruction and knowledge findings concern delivered work guidance and reference content, not compliance. Ranking follows retained text's influence on FTS/BM25, without requiring a learned ranker. Routing, validation and enforcement have local fixed-rule witnesses in MEM-RTE-clarification-read, MEM-RTE-policy-revision, MEM-RTE-canonical-query, MEM-OBJ-recovery-state and the legacy routes. Bypasses qualify those vetoes rather than negate their existence. Specialized adoption and later trace use remain unresolved. The grouped consumer units have the granularity limit below.
  • Write agency: Automatic result retention, projection and structural import admission are supported independently of caller initiation. The manual finding is explicitly confined to human-labelled decision protocols in RT-RTE-knowledge-decide, MEM-RTE-finding-maintenance, MEM-RTE-staleness-propagation and MEM-RTE-policy-revision. It does not claim authenticated human operation or assign manual control to generic callers. Initial content and direct alternatives remain unresolved, so the axis is appropriately partial.
  • Curation operations: Selection and reduced rendering become retained in the run command, supporting consolidate through RT-OBJ-compiled-context, RT-RTE-compile-run and MEM-OBJ-run. Existing-entry revisions support evolve; retained status changes with changed eligibility support invalidate. EPI-RTE-schema-migration supports an edit surface, not a universal synthesis conclusion. The profile does not count index rebuilding as semantic curation or infer promotion merely from an accepted label. Unresolved caller-dependent transformations keep coverage partial.
  • Read-back direction and signal: Explicit context requests, canonical queries and state-consuming service requests support pull. Automatic selection and return within those requested operations do not independently establish push. RT-RTE-compile-run and MEM-RTE-canonical-query therefore do not license identifier or inferred-lexical push findings. Unestablished specialized consumers in MEM-OBJ-canonical-records prevent a complete pull-only account; not-determinable signal coverage preserves that distinction.
  • Trace learning and source: MEM-OBJ-run and MEM-OBJ-evidence establish trace-fed retention, but not a qualifying durable behavior-shaping derivation and later consumer. EPI-OBJ-learning supplies no automatic adoption chain merely by naming an observation, implication and evidence references. The profile correctly refrains from both a positive learning/source finding and an exhaustive negative. It does not require novel knowledge or observed improvement to classify a qualifying route; the missing fact is the qualifying chain itself.

All emitted positive findings are bounded implementation findings, not observed activation or causal benefit. Known substrate/form coverage is narrower than complete consumer coverage. The partial and not-determinable axes preserve uncertainty rather than asserting absence. No unsupported comparison value or materially misleading central conclusion was identified.

Limits

  • The memory profile, behavioral_authority units, groups distinct consumers and effects into shared findings: model context and query reference returns share knowledge; compiler membership, clarification, policy and recovery share routing; several transition/read/install gates share validation and enforcement. RT-BAP-context-prompt, MEM-RTE-canonical-query, MEM-RTE-clarification-read, MEM-RTE-policy-revision and MEM-OBJ-recovery-state support those local forces, but the emitted units are coarser than retained-part/consumer/effect units. Consumers should withhold fine-grained authority-route counts and complete per-consumer coverage comparisons. The axis is already partial, its notes identify the local mechanisms, and the supported existence findings remain valid; this granularity issue does not require withholding publication or changing a system-level value.
