report with vague receipts is a failed science artifact even if it obeys the
file-count contract.
The next round must learn from the previous one. A family that was flat,
regressed, or failed compliance is falsified until the hypothesis worker states
what changed: retired owner, surviving lesson, new perturbation, or source
owner fork. Reusing a family name without that mutation is evidence churn, not
learning.
Hypothesis families must also stay aligned with phonetic class. Stop-release
families belong on stop lanes and `mix-p`; nasal-branch families belong on
nasal/approximant lanes and `mix-m`; frication families belong on fricatives
and `mix-s`; vowel/source-shape families belong on vowels and vowel-like mixed
lanes. Cross-class transfer tests are allowed only when the matrix names the
class-specific controls changed for that target. Round-robin family assignment
is failed science even when all 25 files exist.
When the loop is run with source edits enabled, hypothesis agents may golf DSL
syntax, parser/model records, Faust lowering, worker evidence surfaces, and
tests. That is not permission to smear metrics. A source edit must name the
