Reconciliation
Shared boundary and evidence limits
The reports share the frozen boundary and its Source register. The complete artifact has a partially traced operational loop. Added source inspection in the specialist reports extends coverage within SRC-1; it does not turn the set into an exhaustive lifecycle account. Implementation, requested host behavior and observed operation remain separate. No report supplies observed operation or causal benefit. These common uncertainties are not disagreements.
Identity comparisons and containment
No supersession is proposed. The following overlaps do not establish replaceable record identities:
- RT-OBJ-actions identifies the transient symbolic ops envelope. MEM-OBJ-context, MEM-OBJ-sources and EPI-OBJ-wiki-pages identify content rather than that command envelope. EPI-OBJ-compile-plan is a different command representation in the core compiler, not the ops action union.
- MEM-OBJ-sources identifies retained contributor/raw files. EPI-OBJ-source-text spans contributor inputs and retrieved web text selected into model input. They overlap at contributor text, but neither referent replaces the other: persistent raw extraction and transient web evidence have different coverage and consumers.
- MEM-OBJ-context identifies context/research Markdown. EPI-OBJ-wiki-pages additionally includes legacy wiki bodies. The narrower content record and broader corpus can coexist; neither report's finding becomes wrong when these parts are distinguished. MEM-OBJ-access-metadata and MEM-OBJ-embeddings instead identify access state and numerical representations, not those prose bodies.
- MEM-RTE-synthesis-cache covers generation, validation, caching, replay and refresh. EPI-RTE-topic-synthesis isolates generation and field admission, including the separately inspected MCP producer. EPI-RTE-synthesis-cache isolates server retention and refresh while retaining the MCP cache distinction. The server portions overlap by containment, not as three interchangeable complete routes. The combined memory route remains valid. EPI-OBJ-synthesis-prose and EPI-OBJ-citation-fields expose its interpreted and fixed-rule material separately; neither replaces the route.
- EPI-RTE-cli-admission isolates the caller's batch permission checkpoint within the broader MEM-RTE-cli-ingest account of ingestion, compiler context and execution forwarding. Their shared CLI evidence supports containment, not whole-route identity. The epistemic report's uninspected downstream read-back does not contradict the memory report's additional core inspection.
- EPI-RTE-evidence-quotes and EPI-OBJ-lint-findings explicitly belong to RT-RTE-lint-findings. EPI-OBJ-lint-prose and EPI-OBJ-lint-controls further separate the artifact's interpreted and symbolic parts. The valid diagnosis/retention container need not be superseded by its parts.
The remaining memory declarations have no interchangeable counterpart in runtime or epistemic: MEM-CMP-bge-m3 is a retrieval encoder rather than RT-CMP-model; MEM-OBJ-chats and MEM-OBJ-chat-excerpts have independent retention and withdrawal; MEM-RTE-chat-retention, MEM-RTE-mcp-retrieval and MEM-RTE-tree-edit have distinct endpoints and admission controls. The workflow report declares no records and annotates the existing hosted-build route.
Independent convergence and integration dispositions
Approval is route-specific. The runtime and memory retain different admission controls for contribution, direct build/research, answer saving and MEM-RTE-tree-edit. Epistemic adds EPI-RTE-health-maintenance, whose L2 and crosslink writes also lack a per-action human checkpoint. This is distinct from ops lint, not a correction of its no-rewrite finding. These accounts converge on the limited implementation of RT-CLM-approved-changes, without claiming users never approve through an external host.
Context bounds are branch-specific, not an executor-wide invariant. The corrected RT-RTE-build-context, MEM-OBJ-context and memory's build annotation agree on the internal countercase: the common action schema admits add_wikilinks targeting context.md, and the executor appends missing links without a line-count check or snapshot. Runtime retains the schema and executor passages; memory directly rechecked them. This reachable implementation alternative disproves the prior reconciliation's executor/MCP-only guarantee without depending on direct tree editing or an observed model choice. Server update_context still rejects replacements over 400 lines and attempts a prior-content snapshot; append_context_section checks the resulting count without snapshotting. MCP replacement separately relocates overflow. Tree editing is an additional writer outside those controls, not the sole exception. These corrected accounts converge; no dependent report now requires an executor-wide cap. The epistemic ledger's reference to software shape/path/line constraints identifies retention controls, not a universal bound.
Hosted workflow and tool implementation have different status scopes. RT-RTE-plugin-build affords a host-controlled sequence while its MCP writer is implemented. The workflow account and memory annotation add structural validation, explicit source reads, separate index/log obligations and summary delivery. The epistemic ledger's implemented retention does not promote the entire hosted sequence to wired or observed. Workflow's swallowed snapshot failures qualify backup availability, not the existence of the writer or its snapshot attempt. No report establishes automatic restore, guaranteed backup, enforced tool order or successful semantic merge.
Checks have different targets. EPI-RTE-evidence-quotes refines runtime's occurrence gate: two verified entries need not be independent pages or a proven conflict. EPI-RTE-topic-synthesis and the memory cache account agree that valid coordinates and conditional pruning do not prove sentence support. The epistemic counterexample addresses EPI-CLM-sentence-pruning, not a disagreement with memory. Structural validation in the hosted workflow checks filesystem layout, not answer truth; calling it a structural oracle does not supply the expected-answer oracle absent from synthesis.
Diagnostic paths remain distinct. EPI-RTE-contradiction-probe caches a separate model verdict; EPI-RTE-probe-consumption turns selected enums into ranked review suggestions. Neither is the ops lint artifact, topic-synthesis cache or automatic knowledge repair. Their additional coverage does not contradict memory's explicitly incomplete analysis-worker inventory. The reports therefore do not reduce all auditing to one evaluator or one force.
Read-back is established more narrowly than benefit. Memory's annotations on RT-RTE-ask-answer, RT-RTE-build-context and RT-BAP-session-context preserve distinct clipping, timestamp selection and unsolicited injection mechanisms. Workflow adds the hosted gather's metadata-to-Read sequence. None makes an empty later gather proof of incorporation. Layout compatibility, cross-writer invalidation and cascading withdrawal remain unresolved as stated in memory's integration issues. The epistemic report retains the same legacy-path limits rather than asserting universal v2 retrieval.
Persistence and later delivery support reuse, not the longitudinal quality assertion in EPI-CLM-knowledge-compounds. The reports do not establish accepted ampliative claims, learning benefit or exercised self-improvement; their uninspected routes also prevent system-complete negatives.
The supplied refusal's line-cap blocker is corrected here by withdrawing the prior endorsement and carrying the branch-specific distinctions into the integration account. Runtime and memory have corrected their related findings; memory's integration issues explicitly record that correction. No cross-report disagreement requiring an unresolved-conflict paragraph remains identified in the pinned members. No declined analyst objection was supplied. No source reads were needed to resolve a named record ambiguity; this reconciliation uses the pinned members only.
The refusal also retains coverage limits, not new canonical records. Requested answer filing, editable schema instructions and retained classification guidance remain outside the declared route inventory, as the epistemic boundary and memory coverage acknowledge. Their missing record coverage prevents complete admission, filing, instruction-edit, working-context, retained-authority and policy-adaptation comparisons. This reconciliation does not turn the refusal's additional source account into analyst records or use it to establish a new route. The existing route-bounded conclusions remain bounded.
