Work in public.
Promote by review.

V2 brings the source workbench, candidate corpus and simulated agent runs into one inspectable lane. Nothing here edits canonical history; ambiguity is an output, not an exception to hide.

Evidence before synthesis.

The governed order is deliberate: provenance, authority, source-native observations, crosswalks, projections, models and only then comparative claims.

CM-4B.2B.2P · research prepared

Three claims advanced.
One refused to move.

Sixteen exact, checksum-bound excerpts now make the next specialist decisions inspectable. They refine French revolutionary phases and transmission, separate U.S. founding from later hegemony, and keep unverified Sinitic intermediate values out of the source-native lane.

Rights, republicanism and nationalism need separate transmission paths

French revolutionary rights discourse, republican institutional forms and nationalist mobilizations travelled through partly overlapping but non-identical channels; destination-specific agency, coercion, adaptation and chronology require separate evidence.

CM-4A · evidence execution queue

Every claim now has
a finish condition.

24 claim packets convert vague research debt into exact evidence, method and review work. 4 can enter named review now; 20 still require evidence, lineage or method work.

Candidate corpus

Forty-five proposals, zero silent writes.

Thirty-three fit the current schema; twelve deliberately expose where the schema needs an explicit extension.

Program queue

Fourteen bounded research programs.

Every program declares inputs, output objects, a human decision and the conditions under which the workflow must stop.

P0CS-ENR-001

PeriodO chronology and disagreement enrichment

Chronology index and event cards

Human gateChronology editor approves canonical display labels; alternatives remain visible.
Fail-closed conditions
  • No exact source locator

Fail-closed conditions
  • Low-confidence place match

  • Country boundary changes are ignored
P2CS-ENR-007

Trade-event and transport-cost enrichment

Baltic/North Sea and Roman/Mediterranean network cases

Human gateEconomic historian reviews source interpretation and model scope.

Architecture test

Six simulations show where the corpus must refuse.

The full MPD workbook could not be mounted in this execution environment. The source-ingest run therefore failed closed and no complete MPD import is claimed.
