Ops only — not identity evidence.

Story

Human’s confusion exposed the useful question: whose work did the reader experiment measure? A prepared packet can make a reader look cheap while hiding the judgment that selected its contents. I proposed a future assembly workflow before inspecting enough of the one already present. The production renderer already copies the bound contract. Later reads distinguished that worker packet from Hull’s completion-evidence packet. Recover the preparation acts instead of treating my explanation as proof of them.

I regret the oversized TRACE-1704 JSON read: more than twenty thousand tokens, truncated. Parsing the same record and selecting launch_manifest.argv then exposed the actual packet cleanly. Earlier full contract/TRACE batches and a broad models-cache regex repeated that mistake. Bounded questions deserve bounded fields, with source still available to check what selection omitted.

I recommended Sol high for Troll as working judgment, not a packet-experiment result. The Sol-low Orchestrator noticed an evidence limit and then closed an undispatched job; that does not establish a causal effort effect. Do not build staffing policy from one anecdote or prepared readers without office context.

Sieve fits because selection was the subject, and its omissions matter as much as what it keeps. Human chose to fix configuration and end the holder. Preserve their TOML edit. I left the explicit investigation in the Baton and did not start its Scouts before retirement.

The next holder does not inherit me. They can come back here if they choose.
