Verification

The public synthesis supports publication as a bounded implementation-and-doctrine account. I checked every substantive statement against the handed boundary, runtime, memory, epistemic and workflow members, applied reconciliation's discovered-domain supersession, and assessed the carried report-verification limit. The handed profile verification has no limits; its uncertainty judgments are preserved rather than strengthened. Synthesis answers are empty and no refusal was supplied. No blocker was found. The local record-attribution fault below remains publishable because the synthesis states its consequence and independently distinguishes the info consumer.

Boundary, progression and guarantees

The opening correctly identifies a document-derived knowledge system rather than an enclosing agent runtime. Its revision, cutoff, inclusions, external-host exclusions and evidence layers agree with the boundary. Source presence and attributed examples are not represented as observed operation or causal evidence.

The representative create/update-and-answer procedure follows the workflow account. The synthesis preserves the distinction between the skill's requested host behavior, caller-controlled CLI stages and automatic progression inside the library convenience pipeline. The completion-model account respects the searched scope of RT-ABS-tool-execution; it does not deny external host tools or dependency-internal effects.

Extraction claims agree with RT-RTE-document-extraction, MEM-OBJ-document-extraction and EPI-RTE-extraction-shape. The public text separates transient summary context from persisted results, shape admission from factual acceptance, and explicit-source policy from checked fidelity. Cache omissions, same-stem identity collisions, empty-result persistence and best-effort budget coverage retain their conditions. None is converted into a measured failure or overspend rate.

Build and maintenance claims agree with RT-RTE-graph-build, RT-RTE-entity-resolution and RT-RTE-review-application. Automatic pre-deduplication, saving before review flags, fresh reconstruction, threshold-first review and direct status edits remain distinct mechanisms. The confirmed-status invariant is scoped to entity surgery, not universal human approval. Rejected-relation removal is not confused with confirmed-variant insertion or undo. The stated recovery and withdrawal weaknesses do not imply that every rebuild necessarily reproduces the same graph.

The lossiness and support discussion is grounded in MEM-OBJ-graph-data and MEM-OBJ-relation-support. The conditional origin-to-destination example preserves the scope of EPI-RTE-relation-normalization: enabled normalization can change the predicate without changing endpoints, and the semantic counterexample establishes non-entailment under ordinary meanings. The synthesis does not claim an observed incident, an error frequency or conjectural status for all graph transformations.

Later consumption and independent properties

The narration account preserves selected graph context, name-based joins, caps, automatic prose retention and style-only checking from RT-RTE-narrative-generation and EPI-RTE-style-rewrite. Independent sidecar freshness is supported by MEM-OBJ-entity-descriptions and MEM-OBJ-communities. Current-generation replacement is not presented as demonstrated evolution of an already retained prose entry.

Lookup claims respect RT-RTE-graph-retrieval and its memory annotation: query's selected substantive neighborhood is not universal metadata filtering, full provenance delivery or a token budget. MEM-RTE-project-info separately supports orientation through counts, statuses and existence checks. RT-RTE-view-export supports distinct presentation channels, not automatic synchronization with later surgery. Internal supply to stage consumers is kept separate from caller-facing pull and host-session injection. The direct small-graph alternative remains a host protocol under RT-BAP-agent-skill, not observed compliance.

The improvement discussion leads with the supported contribution: reusable domain guidance reaches later extraction/build consumers. The conditional local-theory interpretation and separate conditions 1–4 match RT-RTE-schema-discovery; the discovered object is correctly cited as MEM-OBJ-discovered-domain. Consumption does not establish criticism or iteration. Learning, reflection, autonomous theory building and exercised self-improvement are separately unestablished, not bundled into a system-wide negative. Style rewriting remains an external-product transformation under unchanged guidance. The trace-learning uncertainty does not become either a positive chain or an unsupported system-wide absence.

The scenario-relative conclusions distinguish persistence and selective delivery from source-faithful answers, universal approval, coordinated withdrawal and demonstrated improvement. The proposed resolving evidence corresponds to these gaps: paired semantic evaluations, scoped reviewer decisions, host traces, controlled comparisons, revision-linked state and operative criticism histories would resolve different questions rather than jointly proving a generic quality verdict.

Carriage of settled limits

The Limitations table carries the report verification's info-attribution fault with both positions, the affected records and the inference to withhold. Its public account already identifies info separately. Reconciliation's unresolved conflict is therefore not silently settled or used to infer identical selectors across commands. The other rows preserve the accepted distinctions concerning missing execution evidence, opaque components, anonymous edits, unresolved transformation semantics and improvement evidence. Profile uncertainty is not upgraded into complete coverage, factual acceptance or observed benefit. No additional material defect was found that requires a new limit.

Source-read log: none. This verification uses only the supplied members and introduces no source evidence or corrected synthesis text.

none

Limits

• EPI-OBJ-structural-results and its authority-ledger row group info/topology/query under RT-RTE-graph-retrieval, although that route covers query/search/topology and MEM-RTE-project-info establishes info separately. The records concern SRC-1 src/sift_kg/cli.py; info additionally consumes extraction-file counts, review statuses and narrative existence. Withhold the inference that the runtime retrieval route alone supports the whole invocation family or identical inputs and selectors. The synthesis's Limitations faithfully carries this local attribution defect, while its separate info account preserves the supported structural-computation and read-back conclusions. No central conclusion depends on the defective attribution.
