   - Service lifecycle receipt history is now event-only: `load_epiphany_cultmesh_daemon_service_lifecycle_receipts` filters out the `epiphany-local/daemon-service-lifecycle-receipt/latest` mirror, while `load_latest_epiphany_cultmesh_daemon_service_lifecycle_receipt` remains the latest-state reader. Focused unit test `service_lifecycle_receipt_history_excludes_latest_mirror` proves two per-receipt writes return exactly two history records and latest points at the second. Fresh smoke `verse-query-lifecycle-history-filter-smoke` and live overview/triage `local-20260618-145632-497-efac6f0d` / `local-20260618-145632-321-867947af` prove compact swarm sights still expose service lifecycle attention plus the present elevated runbook artifact without daemon pokes or service mutation. Do not use a broad unscoped cargo test filter for this check on Windows; it fans out across bin harnesses and hit a broken pipe during this pass.
   - `epiphany-verse-query seed-compact` is the compact seed receipt for wrappers and read-only rites. The older `seed` command still prints the full local Verse context for explicit debugging, but compact wrapper modes now avoid full `seed`/final `query` readback after the combined overview proof exposed Windows debug stack overflow from full-context serialization pressure.
   last_completed_repo_swarm_cut: Huginn live-fire has crossed the first real repo Body from Persona pressure to branch-local Hands commit and Soul/Mind closure, and now has repeatable closure and redacted-public-proof mouths. On `E:\Projects\Huginn` branch `epiphany/huginn/first-awakening`, `tools/epiphany_local_run.ps1 -Mode repo-persona-intake` accepted item `huginn-inspection-readback-livefire`, Weksa/Persona intake remained sealed, and `epiphany-work derive-plan` lowered it to model-authored safe family `repo.status_section` for `README.md` only. `tools/epiphany_local_run.ps1 -Mode repo-swarm-run` advanced four bounded pulses: run-from-plan, adopt-from-plan, execute-from-plan, and close-from-execute. Huginn commit `e9b07c38fceabbdc89ea35c2156326c80c0393a2` updated only `README.md`; closure receipt `.epiphany\work\work-close-huginn-inspection-readback-livefire.json` records status `closed`, Soul verdict `passed`, Mind state commit `repo-work-close-huginn-inspection-readback-livefire-mind-commit`, safe family `repo.status_section`, path scope `README.md`, Bifrost publication gate, and `privateStateExposed=false`. Verification also ran Huginn's TypeScript compiler through concrete Node path: `C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe E:\Projects\Huginn\node_modules\typescript\bin\tsc -p tsconfig.json` passed. Native verifier `epiphany-repo-livefire-closure-smoke --workspace E:\Projects\Huginn --item huginn-inspection-readback-livefire --expected-path README.md --expected-family repo.status_section --expected-gate awaiting-publication --expected-blocker bifrost-publication-missing` checks closure receipt, Mind map entry, overview gate/blocker, authority seals, and `git show` changed paths, returning `status=ok`, `soulVerdict=passed`, `publicationGate=Bifrost`, and `privateStateExposed=false`. Wrapper `tools/epiphany_local_run.ps1 -Mode repo-livefire-closure -Workspace E:\Projects\Huginn -RepoWorkItem huginn-inspection-readback-livefire -SkipBuild` exposes the same read-only proof through the local operator mouth; artifact `local-20260621-190156-803-2f85ba15` printed commit, path, gate, blocker, Soul verdict, Mind commit receipt, and `privateStateExposed=False` without push, merge, publication, or target mutation. New wrapper `tools/epiphany_local_run.ps1 -Mode repo-work-public-proof -Workspace E:\Projects\Huginn -RepoWorkItem huginn-inspection-readback-livefire -SkipBuild` exports the redacted proof bundle and repo-local Verse index without publishing; artifact `local-20260621-190645-345-4555b1dc` wrote `.epiphany\public\proof-bundles\repo-work-public-proof-huginn-inspection-readback-livefire.json`, proof id `repo-work-public-proof-huginn-inspection-readback-livefire`, SHA-256 `857545b199f3e37eb06c2e757e5cfc201958e46667bb1f8403fd333a22620f63`, nine artifact rows, zero publication rows, and `privateStateExposed=False`. swarm overview readback `local-20260621-190701-140-b9519ec6` sees the `REPO-WORK-PUBLIC-PROOF` row and action row from Huginn's repo-local Verse with the same SHA-256 while Bifrost publication remains missing. Launcher compact modes are now named compact operator-context modes instead of read-only modes, and `bifrost-public-proof` summaries print item, target public Verse, room, proof SHA-256, review receipts, and credit receipts so publication receipts are auditable without claiming upstream sync.
