   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.
-  test_authority_cut: Exact bf2f39eb deletes a causal-ID test that compared identical calls and mislabeled the equality provenance independence, plus a duplicate unknown-field test for an already deleted generic patch field. Exact 104bf390 deletes the tool runtime's duplicate immutable-GitHub identity test and a permanently ignored live-network probe pinned to historical README prose. Exact f3360248 deletes a redundant release-cache prefix/determinism assertion, a Git submodule argument-vector mirror plus its single-use helper, and a raw repeated-round predicate test. Exact keyed request identities remain exercised through family lifecycle and admission tests; strict ingress unknown-field refusal remains exercised by runtime-owned Body identity substitution; immutable GitHub parsing remains tested once in epiphany-core; source-cache recovery, cache separation, tool-loop transition, and terminal failed-worker receipts remain proven. Focused owning-package tests pass for each cut.

   tool_runtime_status_cut: Exact 777dd1a5 deletes the callerless epiphany-tool-mcp-runtime smoke command, its fixed JSON self-description, parser branch, and self-affirming branding test. Exact 0bb6a883 removes the run summary's fixed adapter/schema catalogue and caller-supplied store echo; stdout now carries only intent ID, receipt ID, and terminal status. Signed daemon health owns liveness; typed invocation intents and exact receipts own tool execution. With one live command remaining, the one-variant CLI enum collapses into a direct run parser. The four retained release-owned tests pass and exercise typed execution, receipt persistence, Resident-state binding, and unbound refusal.
   repository_body_smoke_cut: Exact 013c3bf1 deletes the callerless epiphany-repository-body smoke command and its temporary-store self-test path. The shipped Body binary retains bootstrap, bind, observe, and status. Authenticated Body binding, exact projection, generation, Git worktree semantics, no repository mutation, and tamper refusal remain proven by 23 focused owner tests.
   model_runtime_smoke_cut: Exact ce90f911 deletes the callerless epiphany-model-runtime smoke route. It opened no provider transport; it wrote a synthetic model request, tool call, completed receipt, and smoke_no_network marker into a writable runtime store, then reported not-opened. Real model-turn, worker, follow-up, decision discovery, and decision audit commands remain. The release-owned model-runtime suite passes 12/12.

   unresolved_authority: Generic command, legacy lineage, caller-authored identity, behaviorless policy fields, global lifecycle latest state, timestamp election, Windows Task Scheduler authority, and their false proofs are gone. Semantic and workspace launch owners are separate over shared process mechanics. The remaining daemon supervisor still combines the service loop, aggregate signed-health publication, semantic reconciliation, and the large workspace recovery state machine. Continue decomposing only where ownership becomes smaller; do not create family frameworks or adapters. The false persisted cluster-topology bootstrap sentinel is gone; supervisor admission remains bound to exact runtime/store identity, packaged release, brake, service policy, process identity, and signed health. The current gamecult-ops Epiphany unit has retired agent-store and daemon-id argv that its owning lane must fix before deployment. Fresh exact-package Ox17 and Model Atlas Gate 1 remain paused until subtraction closes. Bifrost remains Persona and governed external-consequence transport. Its Discord delivery path is a real consumer of Epiphany's short-lived request-bound permit signature, so the distinct permit identity/process is retained as an earned privilege boundary; current Ygg deployment doctrine still points that crossing at the old Starfire endpoint and installs no issuer unit, which the Idunn lane must repair before Persona consequence readiness. Historical c011 and partial Gate roots stay untouched/read-only.
-  next_action: The executable audit closes at nine targets after exact d2aee1ce; each survivor owns a deployed lifecycle, external protocol/privilege boundary, or live operator/Idunn contract. Begin the test-liability audit in epiphany-release-construction, where large harnesses directly amplify compiler output. For every test, name the externally consequential claim and delete implementation-spelling, constant-mirroring, deterministic-self-equality, source-shape, or duplicate coverage; preserve exact package identity, clean-source/submodule refusal, sibling-set completeness and byte verification, path escape/alias refusal, atomic publication, and target-specific filename behavior. Retain epiphany-persona-discord-permit and its exact Bifrost consumer boundary; its missing Ygg lifecycle remains Idunn deployment drift. Do not run a local full-workspace compile, package, deployment, or Ox root.

Delete repeated fixture setup, private-helper spelling, equality against the same call, or tests whose only surviving effect is to preserve an implementation seam. The executable audit is closed at nine earned targets. Retain the Bifrost-consumed Persona permit boundary; its missing Ygg lifecycle is Idunn deployment drift. Do not run a local full-workspace compile, package, deployment, or Ox root.
 
   runtime_event_cut: Exact 27fe11ae deletes persisted generic runtime events, their registry and CultNet contract, CLI/status surfaces, coordinator and lifecycle shadows, archival dependencies, and the obsolete legacy coordinator repair path. Exact d66baa27, 058751fb, and 573ddc8b first removed provider-event duplication, the arbitrary event writer, and paired lifecycle events. Runtime session/job state plus exact typed results, failures, coordinator run receipts, and coordinator death recoveries solely own terminal facts. Events cannot route work, authenticate terminality, or resurrect authority because no runtime-event document remains.
