Turn 5: disposition of curiosity steering and this procedure

Boundary decision

Four turns completed, sixteen fresh workers; session/audit paths in per-worker returns. Costs now available in pre-final cost record: $15.179444 harness-reported worker cost and 49.27 summed worker minutes, excluding coordinator and operator. No new operator intervention. Source Quotes additions only; no experiments, implementation, extraction or deletion.

Select final decision: what steering account survives, what evidence/retention it requires, how intrinsic learning competes with useful delivery, and whether another trial would resolve a real uncertainty? This serves the full purpose rather than another narrow documentary correction. Strongest alternative is one more concrete assurance/verification inquiry; park because five-turn boundary requires disposition, and its unresolved premises will not be fixed by another synthesis.

A: argue the strongest practical positive-steering proposal supported by the run, including resources and conditions under which another bounded trial earns investment. B: independently challenge whether compression adds anything over ordinary explanation-seeking, identify omitted literature/evidence and whether to stop; evaluate procedure using retained actual role contributions and available costs, not prose coherence. Each owns only its explorer result, depth 2/workers 2; no peer current-turn reading. Critic tests both; integrator owns final report in integration.md, zero delegation each. No new source destinations/mutations; no fresh experiments. Models inherited for conceptual work.

Final acceptance: proposed account, evidence and limits; practical mechanisms; acquisition/retention/reconsideration requirements; progress/forgetting limits; purpose/resource tradeoffs; conditions for another trial or reason to stop; unresolved literature search stated honestly. No adoption or superiority claim. Coordinator completes final costs and validation after all workers return.
