   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 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. Core, OpenAI-runtime, and tool-MCP all-target checks pass for their respective cuts.

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.

The remaining daemon supervisor still combines the service loop, aggregate signed-health publication, semantic reconciliation, and the large workspace recovery state machine.
