+## 2026-11-06: dispatch recall, anchored on the ids a brief cites
+
+Hands, cut `eureka-substrate:cut_spec:cut-dispatch-recall-anchored.r1`.
+
+Evidence. Ruling `eureka-substrate:ruling:recall-triggers-rescoped` (operator: "I'm not sold on the recall hook tbh, this would only trigger off my messages? I don't think that would reliably close the knowledge gaps we're seeing"); the research pass `dispatch-recall-map` (a `PreToolUse` hook on `Agent|Task` can rewrite the brief with `updatedInput`, and settings hooks fire inside subagents; the anchored query beat the whole-brief query on precision in `recall-gap-replay` and `probe-anchored-vs-whole-brief`); two acts on 2026-11-06 against rulings nobody had queried.
+
+What changed. `tools/recall.py dispatch`: a `PreToolUse` command hook on `Agent|Task` that appends the in-force neighbours of the records the brief cites to the brief itself. `neighbours` is now one text-taking helper (with `fan_out` and `plain_id`) shared by admit and dispatch; admit's output is unchanged. `tools/test-tools.sh` gains the dispatch driver (D1 to D13) and the fake binding answers `view` of any id and queries by text with scores. The hook is not installed by this change.
+
+Fix pass (Soul s2): dispatch driver D16 pins the mixed deadline (one anchor out of time gets its CheckFailed line while another answers; silent only when no anchor answered) and D17 pins the hard stop (payload written, stdin held open: exit 0, silent, at the deadline; the mutant with the `os._exit` timer neutered hangs and fails D17). Docs say the same.
+Fix pass (Soul s1): recall is per anchor. One cited id failing or refused no longer silences the rest: the other anchors' neighbours still reach the subagent and the failed id gets a status line naming it and the failure kind (`CheckFailed`, `Refused`, `NotHeld`); nothing prints only when no anchor could be checked. Every cited id, not just the first six, is kept out of the neighbours. D8's deadline check is bounded by the fake's own sleep, so a loaded host no longer fails it.
