Reconciliation

Boundary and record identities

All four reports use the same frozen boundary and source. The boundary includes the shipped desktop and engine but stops before external coding execution, harness deployment and subsequent production collection. Its complete-artifact, partial-loop classification is consistent with the workflow's delivery boundary and the runtime's handoff account. The Source register supplies implementation, doctrine/design and reported operation; the reports do not claim inspected execution or a causal experiment.

No duplicate supersession is established. The following overlaps are valid containers, material parts or different consumption paths, not interchangeable record identities:

MEM-BAP-followup-history, RT-BAP-engine-guidance and RT-BAP-report-prompt also remain separate: retained conversation reaches a later analysis model, system guidance reaches root/child models, and a report-path request reaches an external coding actor. Shared natural-language form does not establish identity. The epistemic loop and benchmark claims concern advertised methodology and attributed results, not the runtime's narrower trace-only and delegation-policy claims.

Independent convergence and route qualifications

The analysts converge on fresh child contexts and limited return visibility. RT-RTE-subagent-call supplies initialization and depth enforcement; memory distinguishes child originals from the returned answer, and workflow annotations assign recovery to the parent interpreting an answer or failure. The host's event visibility is not parent replay of child investigation. No report requires mandatory delegation or a child correctness gate.

Trace synthesis and compaction are both model transformations, but not one memory route. The runtime's oversized-render witness in RT-RTE-trace-synthesis is confirmed by memory's annotation and epistemic projection account. Their shared conclusion is reduced input and unobserved semantic reliability, not an assertion that every summary is false. The epistemic report's indeterminate content relation does not conflict with the runtime's wired implementation status: the fields assess different properties.

For checkpoints, RT-RTE-checkpoint-emission supplies the successful-root, flag-gated terminal trigger. Memory adds that local originals survive but rendered checkpoints omit their backing index; epistemic adds that successful summarization does not check preservation. MEM-RTE-context-reload restores local items, not disposed originals after external replay. These accounts agree on a local capability and a host continuation affordance, not a wired desktop resume cycle or continuous compaction.

Desktop completion, durable answer retention, follow-up selection, report creation and external initiation are separate milestones. RT-RTE-desktop-analysis supplies the non-empty last-assistant fallback; EPI-RTE-answer-finalization isolates protocol acknowledgement. Neither establishes factual acceptance. MEM-OBJ-halo-run-turns and MEM-OBJ-report retain different selectors: history uses index/content regardless of assistant status, while reports require completed/incomplete non-empty assistant turns. The workflow materialization record confirms the report selector and allows later preparation after a write failure. Its description of bridge failure as failure rather than answer admission concerns that terminal event, not deletion of all previously retained non-empty content.

Integration-issue dispositions

The memory integration issues request no supplied-fact correction and propose no duplicate replacement. Their checkpoint, synthesis and history counterchecks agree with the current runtime. The additional originals, status, export-freshness and cleanup qualifications remain local limits. Existing exports are reused by existence; missing exports can be rebuilt while older answers remain. Telemetry clear, run deletion, cancellation and retry do not share one universal withdrawal rule, as MEM-RTE-retention-cleanup explains. Neither runtime nor workflow depends on such a rule.

The trace-only mismatch is between shipped doctrine and the optional grant surface, not a disagreement between analysts. RT-CLM-trace-only retains the blanket skill claim and RT-RTE-repository-inspection its capability counterexample. The workflow account qualifies the representative desktop path: its bridge grants no repository access. The epistemic comparison preserves both scopes. Likewise, RT-CLM-delegation-policy records prompt advice rather than restricted root grants; the other reports do not strengthen it into enforced division of labor.

AppWorld evaluation and external shipping remain separate. EPI-RTE-task-evaluation checks task-output criteria, while memory records saved outcomes and no inspected automatic evaluation-to-instruction consumer. The handoff's ship-or-rediagnose rule is prescribed in the skill, not implemented by this evaluator or shown to load through the desktop link. EPI-CLM-benchmark-improvement retains attributed gains without upgrading them to inspected acceptance or component causality.

Finally, the runtime's separately claimed theory-builder conditions in RT-RTE-report-handoff are not contradicted by the specialists' unestablished operation, improvement and criticism-retention findings. Method prescription, architectural wiring and exercised benefit remain separate. RT-RTE-engine-install changes machinery through host maintenance, not a trace-responsive update. External harness gains do not supply the missing causal links for exercised Halo self-improvement.

No unresolved cross-report conflict or required undeclared part was identified in these pinned inputs. No correction answers or declined objections were supplied for this attempt. Adapter fidelity, task-specific evaluator correctness, provider state, external checkpoint backing-store policy and actual later reliance remain bounded uncertainties, not disagreements. This reconciliation uses supplied member passages only; no frozen-source reads were needed.
