Reconciliation

Boundary and evidence agreement

All four reports use the identity and whole-system boundary fixed by boundary. The Source register supplies implementation and doctrine/design, not an observed run or causal experiment. The reports' additional source coverage stays within that registered revision. Their differences in inspected coverage do not establish disagreements: the epistemic report explicitly leaves derived-state, database, export and evaluator routes unassessed, while memory supplies some of those API findings. Neither report converts those limits into a whole-system negative. No source reads were needed for this reconciliation; the connections below use the supplied members.

Identity, containment and overlap

No duplicate supersession is established. The following overlaps do not identify interchangeable referents, so no Amendment is made.

• MEM-RTE-document-selection and MEM-RTE-symbol-reload declare parts of RT-RTE-query-packet. Their selectors, omission rules and failure semantics refine the container without making its findings wrong. The container remains valid alongside these parts.
• EPI-RTE-document-admit overlaps the native-document branch in MEM-RTE-document-selection, but also covers the separate inspect return and admission gate. The memory route follows selection through query/packet delivery. They are overlapping routes, not identical complete routes. EPI-OBJ-document-anchors is the projected evidence object used by this branch, not another declaration of the assembled RT-OBJ-context-packet.
• MEM-RTE-evidence-feedback spans recording, later diagnostics, replay and withdrawal. EPI-RTE-evidence-summary and EPI-RTE-evidence-replay isolate different downstream consumers and checks. They do not replace that valid chain; neither includes its entire write and lifecycle scope. EPI-OBJ-evidence-gaps names diagnostic outputs, whereas MEM-OBJ-evidence-request and MEM-OBJ-evidence-rankings name the retained inputs. RT-OBJ-packet-receipt accounts for a current packet, not this accumulated history.
• EPI-OBJ-provider-claims names provider output claim parts before and through validation. MEM-OBJ-result-support names the citations and claims encoded in a retained InlineResult and returned by get. These stages can carry corresponding text and source associations, but the former includes candidate output and the latter retained output; their admission and later consumers differ. Identity is not established by shared strings. MEM-OBJ-result-answer separately names retained answer text, and MEM-OBJ-lossless-artifact names opaque separately published bytes. None replaces an input packet or selection receipt.
• EPI-OBJ-structural-response is explicitly part of RT-RTE-structural-connected: a proposed response object within a route, not the route itself or the provider-claim object of the other coordinator. EPI-RTE-sqz-check isolates a compression mechanism shared across parent routes; it is not identical to any complete query, grounded invocation or structural invocation.
• MEM-RTE-derived-rebuild computes and admits derived-only output through repair, unlike caller-authored replacement in RT-RTE-maintain-apply. Its index/cache hashes, raw snapshot, display report and generated-validator bytes have distinct retained information and unresolved consumers. They are not alternate names for packet accounting, result storage or an exercised validator-learning route. MEM-OBJ-file-state, MEM-CMP-database-evidence and MEM-CMP-obsidian-export likewise describe different store, producer and representation-round-trip surfaces, not duplicates of the production connected route.
• EPI-RTE-profile-check supplies a conformance evaluator used by maintenance but also callable independently. EPI-RTE-body-preserved is a read-only stripped-body comparison, and EPI-RTE-doctor-readiness is local readiness diagnosis. None is identical to settings admission or a repair transaction.
• EPI-CLM-authoritative-files, EPI-CLM-declared-authority and RT-CLM-evidence-location respectively concern an advertised selection result, its advertised basis and outer-task ownership. They are distinct claims, not competing declarations of one claim. MEM-BAP-diagnostic-supply supplies retrospective diagnostics, unlike repository evidence in RT-BAP-evidence-supply or executable configuration in RT-BAP-settings-consumption.

The workflow member declares no new records. Its annotation and request-to-delivery account use RT-RTE-connected-request, rather than introducing a duplicate route.

Independent convergence and dependent findings

Selection and authority. Runtime establishes deterministic, bounded evidence supply through RT-RTE-query-packet. Memory adds document budgets, symbol filtering and explicit reload routes. Epistemic distinguishes source attribution and byte-preserving selection from preservation of a proposition's conditions or truth. These are compatible findings: neither delivery nor metadata authority establishes semantic endorsement. Workflow applies the same distinction to bounded delegated context; it does not claim that all relevant evidence reaches the host.

Connected acceptance and delivery. Runtime, epistemic and workflow agree that production grounded completion checks admitted citations, claim/support equality, answer reconstruction and current source bytes, not an expected correct task answer. EPI-OBJ-provider-claims adds substring-level limits to the validator in RT-RTE-connected-request, without contradicting its byte-support finding. The generic RT-RTE-runtime-port and structural RT-RTE-structural-connected remain distinct alternate contracts. The workflow's narrower retry and final source-count envelope check explain why runtime completion, local retention and CLI success are separate terminals; runtime and memory already retain that distinction.

Retention. RT-CLM-session-retention records a broad documentation statement, while the declaring runtime itself qualifies it against unconditional local publication. Memory's connected-route annotation independently traces local integrity checks, expiry and identity-based retrieval. Epistemic and workflow preserve the same host-session/local-result distinction. This is a source claim versus implementation mismatch already carried by the reports, not a disagreement between them. Fresh support at completion and absence of fresh-source revalidation at get concern different times; MEM-OBJ-result-support does not contradict the completion guarantee. Opaque artifact integrity read-back does not establish a later agent consumer, and no report establishes automatic result injection into the next prompt.

Diagnostics and revision. MEM-RTE-evidence-feedback, EPI-RTE-evidence-summary and EPI-RTE-evidence-replay converge on retained query descriptors feeding advisory diagnostics. Null replacement and authority leave authoring and admission outside the diagnostic functions; replay detects change against a baseline, not improvement against a correct-answer oracle. Memory's narrower anchor-history coverage limits exhaustive document regression claims without invalidating the epistemic report's bounded ranking-difference finding.

Integration-issue dispositions

The memory member's Integration issues require these distinctions, not corrections to the supplied runtime:

1. Authority by surface: explicit-authority repair and the fixture-gated CLI remain as RT-RTE-maintain-apply describes. Default software-created authority in MEM-RTE-derived-rebuild belongs to a separate helper. No report establishes universal human per-content approval, so the helper does not conflict with runtime's scoped admission account.
2. Containment: document and symbol route parts remain alongside their valid query/packet container, as explained above. No missing required part is identified by the supplied records.
3. Diagnostic coverage: MEM-OBJ-evidence-rankings is not a complete document-anchor history. This limits replay's evaluation coverage; it does not establish a disagreement about what the comparator returns.
4. Historical support and opaque artifacts: local integrity and decoding preserve retained bytes, not current source freshness or a dedicated later artifact-consumer route. The reports make no dependent finding requiring those stronger conclusions.
5. Unresolved library integration: missing production callers, input provenance and next-invocation consumers for derived rebuild, generic state storage and database extraction remain local limits. Memory's afforded implementation status for MEM-RTE-derived-rebuild is not promoted to production wiring by its use of core repair code. Epistemic's unassessed coverage of these paths remains unassessed, not an architectural absence.
6. External and parser limits: incomplete parser/index audits and unfrozen host/compressor/index-producer internals prevent complete fidelity, effective confinement, actual model identity, exercised no-retention or benefit conclusions. These limits coexist with the supported local mechanisms; they do not negate them.

No analyst correction answers or declined cross-report objections were supplied in this invocation. No unresolved disagreement between the reports is established. Consequently there is no Unresolved conflict: paragraph: the remaining unknowns are scoped evidence and integration limits, not incompatible findings. Learning, reflection, autonomy and self-improvement are not combined into a system-wide negative or inferred from retention, configuration changes or source replacement. None of the reports' implementation findings is strengthened to observed operation or demonstrated benefit here.
