Family admission owners derive exact dependencies from typed state. Worker-launch schema v2 and Persona projector prompt v1 refuse the old writable shape. Core 378/378, OpenRouter runtime 27/27, packaged runtime 13/13, and Persona re-entry 1/1 pass.

Exact 3b94bf6e and 59c5e3a6 delete the nested duplicate status view, false auxiliary mode, and ignored status arguments. Exact 7c9b0cf3 deletes the fixed synthetic job table, role-board job cargo/mappers, and its test: 338 net lines. Exact 2ce91461 deletes the scene/planning Mind reconstructions, duplicate self-policy crate, unused prompt templates, four counterfeit schemas, and ten producer/source-text tests: 1,723 net lines.

Exact f10f7fb3 deletes the final twelve epiphany.surface.* schemas and ten catalog entries after every one proved producerless and consumerless: 692 pure deletions. Exact ab3cacfb deletes thirty-one more producerless contracts, the false runtime-session mutation mouth, every Epiphany-owned Rider/Unity command schema, a callerless prompt-context module, its test-only specialist prompt system, and four self-affirming tests: 3,514 net lines. Exact 16d85b1b deletes six duplicate JSON-schema builder tests and two OpenAI-runtime self-source searches: 209 pure test-line deletions. Exact 06f93f70 deletes the test-only inverse OpenAI-to-native request mapper and makes two retained tests follow canonical native-to-provider derivation: sixty net lines. The local catalog now has twenty-three live or portable contracts. Brokkr owns Unity capabilities through CultMesh/Eve; a future Rider daemon owns Rider. Status retains Mind identity, exact current work, one action/reason decision, readable role lanes, and operator thought sealing. Core checks cleanly; retained provider and focused request-flow tests pass.
   immutable_runtime_identity_cut: Exact bf997ce0 removes empty legacy frontier-decision echoes and requires exact worker-result provenance. Exact e00ea70f deletes the lossy PID-only process compatibility API. Exact 87983ffc makes runtime identity immutable bootstrap state: no update time, duplicated capability catalog, temporary metadata, or launch-time reconstruction survives. Current-work launch replays the original identity and existing root-session envelopes byte-for-byte as strong reads, preventing hidden singleton timestamp conflicts while retaining substitution refusal. Exact ffcf036f advances runtime spine to v7 and derives the constant native runtime kind at CultNet publication. The current-work capstone, epoch refusal, and OpenAI-runtime all-target checks pass.

Exact ad2292ee deletes two callerless Persona identity setup executables, their forced release roles, and 96 lines of enrollment/anchor-export wrappers. Exact 3dda58a5 deletes the duplicate Persona feedback ingress executable and release role after Resident Self proved to be the live authenticated Bifrost import owner. Exact 56267201 deletes three unadmitted Model Atlas daemon shells and release roles while preserving the typed library owners; authority separation alone does not justify production processes. Exact 900c5232 deletes the callerless frontier-proposal executable and release role; typed Self/runtime proposal intake and selection remain.

   runtime_registry_authority_cut: Exact 03140a47 deletes the 649-line epiphany-runtime-spine operator/debug CLI, its packaged release role, its callerless Hello/schema-catalog service facsimile, the 600-line hand-maintained mutation-contract mirror, and the source-shape test that guarded that mirror. CultCache exact fdbf3bf exposes its registered type identities, so runtime status and model preflight derive accepted documents from the same registration used to open the Mind store. Executable targets fall from 22 to 21 with zero duplicate source owners. Core checks without warnings and release construction passes 17/17. Editor actuation remains entirely provider-owned: Brokkr owns Unity through CultMesh/Eve and a future Rider daemon owns Rider.
   coordinator_status_cut: Exact 500125d5 deletes the unconsumed packaged epiphany-mvp-status executable. Its live projection and operator-sanitization functions move from a binary source textually included by the coordinator into one epiphany-core module. The dead CLI parser, default store, result-file writer, release role, and redundant release assertion are gone. Cargo has 20 executable targets and zero duplicate binary-source owners; the release-owned coordinator checks, the operator thought-sealing test passes, and release construction remains 17/17.
   persona_language_tribunal_cut: Exact 63939fa2 deletes Persona's keyword-based projector-output tribunal, its test-only no-transcript prompt wrapper, and two tests that blessed prompt phrases and forbidden words rather than a consequence. Projector and Persona outputs remain inert private cognition sealed into exact stage contexts. Only the Interpreter's closed typed effect enum can propose state or speech; its channel, cardinality, size, schema, and exact-context validation remain. The three-stage execution/replay, channel-escape refusal, substituted provider/model refusal, retained typed-effect validation, and OpenAI-runtime all-target checks pass.
