Verification
I independently checked all ten axes in the profile, their findings, natural units, evidence bases and inventory assessments against the handed records and annotations. Reconciliation resolves the ten duplicate epistemic objects to the memory declarations; the feature-admission and lesson-inference parts remain separate from their runtime containers. The previous judgment and correction answer were assessed as arguments, not as established defects or repairs. No source read was needed; this verification adds no records or quotations.
- Storage and representational form: The file objects, optional Git retention and shell backups support the scoped substrate findings through RT-RTE-save-session, MEM-OBJ-plans and RT-RTE-compact-backup. Grouped objects share the stated file-based classification; optional Git does not imply every deployment uses it. Model-interpreted bodies are separated from address matching, parity/date comparisons and callable code. MEM-OBJ-section-markers, MEM-OBJ-sidecar-index and MEM-OBJ-helpers support those consumption distinctions. Copying preserves the source form but establishes no backup restoration consumer. Custom bodies and the host-compaction payload are not classified by analogy with visible files.
- Lineage: Imported user speech, authored trace-derived summaries, initialized files, plan copying, code-derived descriptions and unchanged backups retain separate paths. MEM-OBJ-comments differs from the derived summaries in MEM-OBJ-session-log. MEM-OBJ-plans supports import while leaving original host production unresolved. Preserved human sidecar descriptions have a supported authorship/preservation path, not a claimed complete account of their original derivation. No source fact outside the accepted records supplies an additional finding.
- Behavioral authority: Context, standing directions, experience-fed updates, input-window routing and conformity references have distinct consumers and effects. MEM-OBJ-decisions and RT-BAP-project-rules support requested instruction, not deterministic enforcement. MEM-OBJ-resume-state and the sidecar records support routing; relevance alone does not establish ranking. Helper enforcement remains afforded and locally partial at future callers. Backup persistence remains unresolved at a later consumer rather than borrowing the original ledgers' authority.
- Write agency: RT-RTE-save-session supports ordinary model admission and checkpoint replacement without per-entry human approval. EPI-RTE-feature-admission, RT-RTE-harvest-lessons and RT-RTE-audit-project support the separate manual gates. Itemisation scope approval does not approve every generated label or description. The backup shell has a distinct wired automatic admission mechanism. Unavailable custom-file control is not inferred from its reader.
- Curation: Summary reduction, current-state revision, supersession/resolution and sidecar row removal support the claimed consolidation, evolution, invalidation and decay at their scoped transformations. The correction removes the prior unsupported dedup finding, revises the axis summary and explains the distinction in the rationale. MEM-OBJ-task-registry supports permitted old-row consolidation; it and RT-RTE-harvest-lessons do not establish merging or removing retained near duplicates. The current profile makes no such positive assertion. Indeterminate explanation generation remains unresolved rather than becoming synthesis, consistent with EPI-RTE-lesson-inference. Unchanged byte copies are not curation.
- Read-back direction and signal: Requested startup, archive, code-range and update-consumer reads remain pull. RT-RTE-start-session and RT-RTE-itemise-code do not turn requested delivery into an independent push. Claimed automatic loading of mutable guidance is separately push with a coarse availability signal through RT-OBJ-claude and RT-BAP-project-rules. Identifiers on requested ranges are not push signals. Backup delivery and host compaction remain unresolved, so the profile asserts neither complete pull-only coverage nor an axis-wide inapplicability.
- Trace learning and trace source: Ordinary automatic checkpoint summaries have trace-fed admission, durable behavior-shaping outputs and specified later readers through RT-RTE-save-session, MEM-OBJ-resume-state and RT-RTE-start-session. Claimed trace learning does not require semantic novelty or measured improvement. Manual harvest/QA and pure file copies do not supply qualifying automatic updates in their scoped units. The session-logs positive is supported by conversational review; mixed work origins remain partial rather than acquiring tool-traces, event-streams or trajectories from names alone. Potential diagnostic, custom-content and host routes retain their uncertainty.
All ten axis assessments remain partial. Included opaque alternatives and missing provenance or consumer facts are retained beside their units rather than excluded to obtain known coverage. Grouping homogeneous findings does not assert a complete system inventory. Prompt procedures remain claimed, inspected shell copying remains wired, and documented future helper consumption remains afforded; no finding asserts observed operation or causal benefit. Startup plan/audit conflicts, comment-retention ambiguity and sidecar correspondence/rollback uncertainty qualify deterministic coverage and fidelity, not the existence of the specified paths. These uncertainties are already expressed in the profile and accepted records; they require no additional verification limit. The corrected dedup objection no longer holds, and no other material unsupported value or coverage assertion was found.
