Two failures the full suite caught, both mine.
finalize.py started in lib_py/loop, which made publish_event import a sibling
package. That is the rule phase 1 wrote down and phase 2a already made me move
the engine for: under a frozen loop, delegation is bound to one tree while the
parent may be another, so reaching sideways mixes them. The manifest is written
into the job's own report directory and the CLI that declares it is a delegation
entry point, so finalize belongs there. Second time on the same rule, and the
guard caught it both times.
The publish_event --help golden no longer matched, because phase 2b
intentionally added the finalization options. The diff is exactly those three
options and nothing else, so the capture is refreshed rather than the assertion
weakened, and the test now states when a refresh is legitimate: an intended
extension, never drift nobody meant.

Three scenarios join the contract set, so the fifteen vectors now cover an
unproven side effect, an undecidable attribution, and an agent whose state goes
unreadable in the window between finalization and notification. All fifteen
match their expected decision.
The side-effect case needed a decision about layering. Authoritative enforcement
belongs in manifest verification, which has the job record and therefore knows
what was declared; the policy honours an explicit negative from the collector so
the case is expressible as a vector. Absence is not read as proof there, because
the manifest check is the layer that fails closed on missing evidence.
The operations note records why the agent declares and the reader re-derives,
the three gates and why the backend allowlist can only be narrowed, the
notification transaction, and the rollback.
It also records a deviation from my own plan. §D2 asked for reviewer sign-off
before promoting an attempt id into the record, since that changes a contract
phase 1 froze. Measurement during implementation showed the change was not
needed: the attempt guard already lives in the evidence layer, where attempt
identity actually is, so auto-completion passes the engine a status precondition
instead. The schema is untouched, the frozen contract holds, and a
characterization test fails the moment a record starts carrying an attempt id,
which is when to revisit it.
