+## Session Protocol
+
+State Hub: http://127.0.0.1:8000
+
+**Step 1 — Orient**
+
+Read the offline-safe brief first — it works without a live hub connection:
+```bash
+cat .custodian-brief.md
+```
+Then call the MCP tool for richer cross-domain context when MCP tools are exposed:
+```
+get_domain_summary("capabilities")
+```
+If MCP tools are unavailable in the current agent session, use the REST API:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/state/summary" | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+If the hub is offline: `cd ~/state-hub && make api`
+
+**Step 2 — Check inbox**
+With MCP tools:
+```
+get_messages(to_agent="repo-scoping", unread_only=True)
+```
+Mark read with `mark_message_read(message_id)`. Reply or act on coordination
+requests before proceeding.
+
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/?to_agent=repo-scoping&unread_only=true" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
+```
+
+**Step 3 — Scan workplans**
+```bash
+ls workplans/
+```
+For each file with `status: ready`, `active`, or `blocked`, note pending
+`todo`/`in_progress` tasks.
+
+**Step 4 — Present brief**
+
+1. **Active workstreams** for `capabilities` — title, task counts, blocking decisions
+2. **Pending tasks** from `workplans/` + any `[repo:repo-scoping]` hub tasks
+3. **Goal guidance** — if `goal_guidance` in summary:
+   - `needs_workplan`: surface as top action — *"Repo goal '{title}' has no workplan yet"*
+   - `alignment_warnings`: flag if active work is not aligned with current goal
+4. **Suggested next action** — highest-priority open item
+5. **SBOM status** — flag if `last_sbom_at` is unset for this repo
+
+If no workstreams: follow First Session Protocol (`first-session.md`).
+
+**During work:** `record_decision()` · `add_progress_event()` · `resolve_decision()`
+
+> State Hub is a *read model*. Bootstrap tools (`create_workstream`, `create_task`)
+> are First Session Protocol only. Work structure belongs in repo files (ADR-001).
+
+**Session close:**
+With MCP tools:
+```
+add_progress_event(summary="...", topic_id="64418556-3206-457a-ba29-6884b5b12cf3", workstream_id="<uuid>")
+```
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"topic_id":"64418556-3206-457a-ba29-6884b5b12cf3","workstream_id":"<uuid>","event_type":"note","summary":"what changed","author":"codex"}'
+```
+If workplan files were modified, ensure the local copy is up to date first:
+```bash
+git -C <repo_path> pull --ff-only
+cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency REPO=repo-scoping
+```
+For repos where implementation runs on a remote machine (e.g. CoulombCore),
+use the combined target which pulls before fixing:
+```bash
+cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency-remote REPO=repo-scoping
+```
+**C-15** (DB task ahead of file) is normal in multi-machine workflows — writeback
+will sync the file to match DB.  **C-16** (repo behind remote) blocks all writes
+until you pull — intentional to prevent clobbering remote progress.

+File location: `workplans/repo-scoping-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
+ID prefix: `REPO-WP`
+
+Work items originate as files in this repo **before** being registered in the hub.
+
+Canonical workplan/workstream frontmatter statuses are:
+`proposed`, `ready`, `active`, `blocked`, `backlog`, `finished`, `archived`.
+Use `proposed` for a newly drafted plan, `ready` after review against current
+repo state, and `finished` when implementation is complete. `stalled` and
+`needs_review` are derived health labels, not stored statuses.
+
+Closed workplans may be moved to `workplans/archived/` with a completion-date
+prefix: `YYMMDD-repo-scoping-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The frontmatter id remains
+unchanged; the prefix is only for quick visual reference.
+
+Small opportunistic tasks discovered during another session use **Ad Hoc Tasks**:
+`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md`, workstream slug `adhoc-YYYY-MM-DD`, and task ids
+`ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, `T02`, etc. Use adhocs only for low-risk work completed
+directly. Promote anything requiring analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or
+multiple planned phases into a normal workplan.
+
+Ecosystem todos from other agents arrive as `[repo:repo-scoping]` hub tasks —
+visible at session start. Pick one up by creating the workplan file, then registering
+the workstream.

-## Architecture
-
-The service maps Git repositories to reviewable scope maps using a fixed hierarchy:
-
-```
-Scope → Ability → Capability → Feature → Evidence → ObservedFact
-```
-
-**Data flow for an analysis run:**
-
-1. `POST /repos/{id}/analysis-runs` triggers the pipeline in `RegistryService.run_analysis()`
-2. `GitIngestionService` clones or resolves the repo path
-3. `RepositoryMetadataExtractor` reads pyproject.toml / package.json / README
-4. `DeterministicScanner` produces `ObservedFact` objects (files, languages, manifests, APIs, etc.)
-5. `ContentExtractor` chunks files into searchable segments
-6. `CandidateGraphGenerator` builds a draft ability→capability→feature→evidence tree from facts
-7. Optionally, `LLMCandidateExtractor` proposes additional candidates (requires `REPO_REGISTRY_LLM_ENABLED=true`)
-8. Candidates are stored; humans or agents review them via `POST .../candidate-graph/approve`
-9. Approved characteristics feed `ScopeGenerator` to produce `SCOPE.md`
-
-**Key source locations:**
-
-| Component | Path |
-|-----------|------|
-| FastAPI routes + DI | `src/repo_registry/web_api/app.py` |
-| Orchestration | `src/repo_registry/core/service.py` |
-| Frozen dataclasses | `src/repo_registry/core/models.py` |
-| Deterministic scanner | `src/repo_registry/repo_scanning/scanner.py` |
-| Candidate graph builder | `src/repo_registry/candidate_graph/generator.py` |
-| SQLite store | `src/repo_registry/storage/sqlite.py` |
-| Schema migration | `migrations/0001_initial.sql` |
-
-**Storage:** SQLite at `var/repo-registry.sqlite3` (auto-created). Schema migrations run at startup. Dynamic columns are added to support evidence relationships, classification, and expectation gaps.
-
-**LLM extraction** is optional and disabled by default. Enable with `REPO_REGISTRY_LLM_ENABLED=true` plus `REPO_REGISTRY_LLM_PROVIDER` and `REPO_REGISTRY_LLM_MODEL`. The `llm-connect` sibling package provides the adapter abstraction.
-
-**Semantic search** uses `HashingEmbeddingProvider` by default — deterministic, no external service required.

-## Environment Variables
-
-| Variable | Default | Purpose |
-|----------|---------|---------|
-| `REPO_REGISTRY_DATABASE_PATH` | `var/repo-registry.sqlite3` | SQLite file |
-| `REPO_REGISTRY_CHECKOUT_ROOT` | `var/checkouts` | Git clone cache |

-
-## State Hub & Workplans
-
-Active work is tracked in `workplans/RREG-WP-*.md` — these files are the source of truth (ADR-001). The Custodian State Hub caches this state; workplan files take precedence.
-
-Session protocol (see `AGENTS.md` for full curl examples):
-- **Start:** check `workplans/` status headers and State Hub inbox
-- **Close:** update task statuses in workplan files, then `POST /progress/` and sync via `POST /repos/repo-scoping/sync`
-
-Workplan sync warns on C-17 (unpushed commits) — that's normal. A `"result": "fail"` needs investigation.

+# Characteristic Acceptance Policy Boundary
+
+Policy version: `acceptance-policy/v1`
+
+repo-scoping separates fact generation, quality gating, and acceptance
+judgement. This boundary exists so deterministic automation can stay useful and
+fast without silently promoting weak or non-native claims into registry truth.
+
+## Boundary
+
+Deterministic scanners and extractors may create observed facts, source refs,
+content chunks, candidate abilities, candidate capabilities, candidate features,
+and candidate evidence. They may also run transparent quality gates.
+
+Deterministic quality gates may reject, invalidate, downgrade, merge, flag, or
+require review when a criterion is formally expressible. They must record the
+criterion identifier, outcome, rationale, and affected candidate element.
+
+Deterministic quality gates must not approve candidate characteristics. No
+deterministic rule, scanner result, fixture match, vocabulary match, confidence
+threshold, source-role score, or duplicate check may mark a candidate as
+approved registry truth.
+
+Human reviewers may approve candidate characteristics.
+
+Trusted agentic reviewers may approve candidate characteristics only after
+inspecting the evidence, applying the active quality criteria, and recording a
+rationale tied to those criteria and source refs.
+
+All automated review outcomes must be inspectable, reversible, and auditable.
+
+## Allowed Deterministic Outcomes
+
+- `pass`: no formal criterion blocked the candidate; judgement is still pending.
+- `requires_review`: a criterion found ambiguity that needs reviewer judgement.
+- `downgraded`: the candidate remains visible but loses trust or native-utility
+  strength until a reviewer overrides or edits it.
+- `rejected`: the candidate should not be accepted as stated, but remains
+  auditable with reason codes.
+- `invalidated`: the candidate is structurally or evidentially unusable.
+- `merged`: the candidate was folded into a better-supported equivalent.
+- `flagged`: the candidate remains pending with a warning attached.
+
+These outcomes may prepare a candidate for review. They do not approve it.
+
+## Allowed Human Outcomes
+
+- `approve`: accept the candidate as registry truth.
+- `approve_with_edits`: accept after reviewer edits, relinks, or merges.
+- `reject`: reject the candidate as a matter of judgement.
+- `downgrade`: preserve the candidate but reduce its standing or native claim.
+- `request_changes`: ask for edited wording, source refs, hierarchy placement,
+  or evidence.
+- `request_human_review`: defer to another curator or domain owner.
+
+## Allowed Agentic Outcomes
+
+- `approve`: accept only with evidence-linked rationale and criteria version.
+- `approve_with_edits`: accept after proposed edits, relinks, or merges are
+  recorded.
+- `reject`: reject with cited criteria and evidence.
+- `downgrade`: keep visible but lower trust or native-utility standing.
+- `request_human_review`: stop automation when evidence or intent is ambiguous.
+- `propose_edit`: suggest wording, hierarchy, source-ref, or merge changes
+  without approving.
+
+Agentic approval requires:
+
+- reviewer identity or configuration
+- criteria version
+- prompt or policy version when applicable
+- evidence inspected
+- rationale
+- exact candidate elements affected
+
+The repo-scoping service represents this as structured agentic review decisions.
+Approval decisions are rejected unless they include rationale, criteria IDs, and
+evidence refs. Non-approval decisions still require rationale and criteria IDs,
+so downgrade, rejection, relink, proposed edit, and human-review requests remain
+auditable.
+
+## Legacy Auto-Approval Terminology
+
+`trusted_auto_approve_candidate_graph` and UI labels such as "Trusted
+auto-populate" are legacy terminology. They describe an existing migration-era
+behavior, not an accepted policy direction. Future implementation must replace
+that path with agentic review or leave candidates pending human review.
+
+Until the migration in `RREG-WP-0014` is complete, any artifacts produced by the
+legacy path must be identifiable in review decisions and self-scoping
+assessment artifacts. They should be treated as review debt, not as evidence
+that deterministic approval is allowed.
+
+The migration inventory and rebuild procedure are documented in
+`docs/migrations/trusted-auto-approval.md`.
+
+## Quality Criteria Relationship
+
+The quality criteria registry in `docs/quality-criteria/` defines the formal
+checks deterministic gates may apply. Criteria should be versioned, reviewable,
+and specific enough to explain why a candidate was rejected, downgraded,
+invalidated, merged, flagged, or sent to review. The active registry can be
+listed with `repo-scoping list-quality-criteria` or `GET /quality-criteria`.
+
+Examples of criteria families:
+
+- source-role quality
+- native utility versus dependency, tooling, fixture, or mention-only context
+- hierarchy fit between capability and feature
+- evidence sufficiency
+- circularity from generated `SCOPE.md`
+- fixture and schema-example contamination
+
+Criteria can block bad output before judgement. They cannot stand in for
+judgement.

+# Trusted Auto-Approval Migration
+
+`trusted_auto_approve_candidate_graph` is historical migration behavior, not an
+allowed acceptance path. Deterministic analysis may generate facts and
+candidates, and deterministic quality gates may block or require review, but
+approval now requires human judgement or configured agentic review.
+
+## Identify Historical Runs
+
+Use the inventory surfaces before rebuilding a repository with approved maps:
+
+```bash
+repo-scoping list-legacy-auto-approvals --format json
+```
+
+The API exposes the same inventory at:
+
+```text
+GET /review/migrations/trusted-auto-approvals
+```
+
+Each record identifies the repository, analysis run, review decision, current
+approved ability count, scanner version when available, and the recommended next
+step. These records are derived from review decisions whose action is
+`trusted_auto_approve_candidate_graph`.
+
+## Rebuild Without Losing Audit History
+
+Historical review decisions are retained. Rebuilding characteristics creates a
+new analysis run and can clear the currently approved characteristic tree, but it
+does not delete the old review-decision audit trail.
+
+1. Run a dry run:
+
+   ```bash
+   repo-scoping rebuild-characteristics --repo <repo-id> --dry-run --no-llm
+   ```
+
+2. Inspect candidate output, quality-gate outcomes, and existing review
+   decisions.
+
+3. Confirm the rebuild only when ready:
+
+   ```bash
+   repo-scoping rebuild-characteristics --repo <repo-id> --confirm --agentic-review
+   ```
+
+4. If no agentic reviewer is configured, complete human review through the
+   candidate graph approval/edit/reject flow.
+
+## Compatibility Notes
+
+- `AnalysisRunCreate.trusted_auto_approve` remains as a deprecated API input
+  for older callers, but requests are routed to agentic review and do not
+  deterministically approve candidates.
+- The CLI does not expose deterministic trusted auto-approval. Use
+  `--agentic-review` during rebuild or approve after human review.
+- The service method `trusted_auto_approve_candidate_graph()` is guarded by
+  `allow_deprecated_migration_mode=True` and should only be used to replay or
+  inspect historical migration behavior in controlled tests or migration tools.
+- Self-scoping assessment artifacts continue to flag
+  `trusted_auto_approve_candidate_graph` as review debt.

+# Quality Criteria Registry
+
+`acceptance-quality-criteria.v1.json` is the active reviewable criteria registry
+for candidate characteristics. It defines criteria that deterministic gates may
+use to reject, downgrade, invalidate, flag, merge, or require review.
+
+The registry is intentionally not an approval policy. Approval belongs to human
+reviewers or trusted agentic reviewers that inspect evidence and record a
+rationale.
+
+List the active registry from the CLI:
+
+```bash
+repo-scoping list-quality-criteria --format markdown

+The same registry is available from the API at `GET /quality-criteria`.
+
+The first deterministic gate evaluator emits audit outcomes against this
+registry. Candidate graph API responses and self-scoping assessment exports
+include those outcomes as `quality_gate_outcomes`. Gate outcomes can block or
+flag review, but they never approve candidates.

+# Self-Scoping Assessment Artifacts
+
+This directory contains repo-scoping's own baseline and assessment artifacts.
+These files are meant to make scoping-engine changes comparable across releases
+instead of relying on memory or screenshots.
+
+## Artifact Types
+
+- `golden/repo-scoping-golden-profile.v1.json` is the curated target profile for
+  repo-scoping itself.
+- `assessments/repo-scoping-known-bad-2026-05-15-run-39.json` captures the
+  known-bad self-analysis that promoted LLM-provider vocabulary into native
+  repo-scoping capability truth.
+- `assessments/repo-scoping-post-wp0015-clean-2026-05-15.json` captures the
+  first clean, release-bound deterministic challenger after acceptance-boundary
+  and input-hygiene work. It remains a rejected regression because candidate
+  generation still collapses repo-scoping's native surfaces under the forbidden
+  provider-routing capability, but its source set no longer includes
+  `var/checkouts/` contamination.
+- `assessments/repo-scoping-post-wp0016-native-2026-05-15.json` captures the
+  first deterministic challenger after native candidate generation recovery. It
+  matches every expected capability in the golden profile and has no known
+  provider-routing regression, while still leaving generated candidates pending
+  review with quality-gate signals.
+- `workflow.md` explains how to run challenger assessments, interpret outcomes,
+  and decide whether to update the golden profile or fix the engine.
+- `outcomes/` stores append-only reviewer decisions created from side-by-side
+  comparisons.
+- `../schemas/self-scoping-assessment.schema.json` defines the immutable
+  assessment-run artifact shape.
+
+## Release Binding
+
+Comparable assessment artifacts must bind generated results to the repo-scoping
+engine release that produced them. A complete binding records package version,
+engine git commit or release tag, dirty state, scanner version, candidate
+generator version, quality criteria version, and prompt version when applicable.
+
+The current known-bad artifact is marked `historical_incomplete` because the
+original database run did not record the engine commit. It remains useful as a
+negative regression seed, but future challenger artifacts should be fully bound
+before they are accepted as comparable baselines.
+
+## Review Use
+
+When the engine changes, run repo-scoping against itself and export a challenger
+assessment. Compare the challenger to the golden profile and to the negative
+seed. Reviewers should be able to choose whether the old result, new result, or
+neither is better, then store that judgement as a new assessment outcome.
+
+The curator UI exposes this loop at `/ui/self-scoping`. It reads the golden and
+assessment JSON files from this directory, highlights missing, forbidden, and
+misplaced hierarchy entries, and records reviewer preference without mutating
+the compared artifacts. The same page can compare two assessment runs directly
+so reviewers can choose whether the old baseline or new challenger is better.
+
+## Export Command
+
+Export a completed analysis run as a challenger artifact:
+
+```bash
+repo-scoping export-assessment \
+  --repo repo-scoping \
+  --analysis-run 39 \
+  --output docs/self-scoping/assessments/repo-scoping-challenger-run-39.json
+```
+
+The command reads an existing registry database and does not clone or scan the
+target repository. It records the target analysis metadata, candidate graph,
+approved map at export time, review decisions, fact and content summaries, known
+regression patterns, and current repo-scoping engine identity.
+
+Compare an assessment against the curated golden profile:
+
+```bash
+repo-scoping compare-assessment \
+  --golden docs/self-scoping/golden/repo-scoping-golden-profile.v1.json \
+  --assessment docs/self-scoping/assessments/repo-scoping-known-bad-2026-05-15-run-39.json \
+  --format markdown
+```
+
+The first comparison report highlights missing expected capabilities, forbidden
+native capabilities, known regression patterns, and misplaced API/CLI features.
+
+Run the full self-assessment loop:
+
+```bash
+repo-scoping self-assess \
+  --source-path . \
+  --assessment-output docs/self-scoping/assessments/repo-scoping-challenger.json \
+  --comparison-output docs/self-scoping/assessments/repo-scoping-challenger.md
+```
+
+By default this path is deterministic-only and leaves generated candidates
+pending review. Add `--with-llm` only when a provider is configured and the run
+should include LLM-assisted candidate extraction. Add `--fail-on-regression` in
+CI when known regressions should fail the command; ordinary `needs_review`
+comparisons still exit successfully.

+- Status: `regression`
+- Golden profile: `repo-scoping-golden-profile-v1`
+- Target repo: `repo-scoping`
+- Summary: Assessment repeats known or forbidden self-scoping patterns; prefer the golden profile until the engine is corrected.
+
+## Missing Expected Capabilities
+- Explore Dependency And Impact Graphs
+- Generate And Maintain SCOPE.md
+- Generate Reviewable Candidate Characteristics
+- Index Source Content With Provenance
+- Provide Scope Context To Downstream Agents
+- Register And Track Repositories
+- Review And Approve Candidate Characteristics

+## Forbidden Native Capabilities Present
+- Route LLM Requests Across Providers
+
+## Known Regression Patterns
+- `RREG-SELF-REG-001` LLM provider vocabulary promoted as native capability: Generated tree contains Route LLM Requests Across Providers as a repo-scoping capability.
+- `RREG-SELF-REG-002` Native API and CLI surfaces attached under false capability: API or CLI surface features are nested below provider routing.
+
+## Misplaced Features
+- `HTTP API surface: possible API surface, GET /health, @app.get(, +49 more` under `Route LLM Requests Across Providers` (API): API/CLI surface is nested below provider-routing capability.
+- `CLI command surface: CLI command build_parser, CLI command make_service` under `Route LLM Requests Across Providers` (CLI): API/CLI surface is nested below provider-routing capability.
+
+## Matched Expected Capabilities
+- None
+
+## Review Hints
+- Do not promote this assessment as a preferred baseline.
+- Inspect forbidden capabilities and misplaced features first.
+- Use the findings as signal for scanner, generator, or acceptance-policy changes.

+profile, an assessment artifact, and the repo-scoping engine identity captured
+in that assessment.
+

+# Self-Scoping Assessment Workflow
+
+Self-scoping is the feedback loop for improving repo-scoping with evidence. The
+loop is simple: run the current engine against repo-scoping itself, compare the
+result to a curated golden profile and known bad runs, then record whether the
+new result is better.
+
+## Outcome Terms
+
+- `baseline`: a result accepted as a reference point for later comparisons.
+- `challenger`: a fresh result from a new engine version or configuration.
+- `preferred`: the reviewer chose this result over the prior baseline.
+- `tied`: the reviewer judged old and new results roughly equivalent.
+- `rejected`: the result is known bad and should not become baseline truth.
+- `superseded`: the result used to be useful but was replaced by a newer
+  preferred assessment.
+- `needs-human`: the result cannot be judged confidently without curator
+  review.
+
+The known 2026-05-15 run 39 artifact is a `rejected` negative regression seed,
+not a baseline to imitate.
+
+## Release Binding
+
+Assessment output is only useful if it is bound to the engine that generated it.
+Comparable challenger artifacts should record:
+
+- repo-scoping package version
+- engine git commit
+- engine release or tag when available
+- engine dirty state
+- scanner version
+- candidate generator version
+- quality criteria version
+- prompt version when LLM or agentic review is used
+
+An artifact with `release_binding_status=complete` can be compared as a real
+challenger. An artifact with `historical_incomplete` can still be useful as a
+negative seed, but it should not become a preferred baseline. An `unbound`
+artifact is diagnostic only.
+
+Dirty state does not automatically make an artifact useless, but it must be
+visible. A dirty challenger should usually be rerun after the relevant changes
+are committed.
+
+## Standard Loop
+
+1. Run the self-assessment command:
+
+   ```bash
+   repo-scoping self-assess \
+     --source-path . \
+     --assessment-output docs/self-scoping/assessments/repo-scoping-challenger.json \
+     --comparison-output docs/self-scoping/assessments/repo-scoping-challenger.md
+   ```
+
+2. Read the comparison report.
+
+3. Open the curator UI at `/ui/self-scoping` to compare the golden profile and
+   assessment artifact side by side.
+
+4. When an earlier baseline assessment exists, use the same page's two-run
+   comparison to judge old output against the new challenger.
+
+5. If the report says `regression`, inspect forbidden capabilities, misplaced
+   features, and known regression patterns first.
+
+6. If the report says `needs_review`, inspect missing expected capabilities and
+   source evidence before choosing old or new output.
+
+7. If the report says `candidate_improvement`, still confirm that the
+   hierarchy, source refs, and native-utility boundaries make sense.
+
+8. Record the decision as an assessment outcome before changing the active
+   baseline. The UI writes append-only outcome records under
+   `docs/self-scoping/outcomes/`; it does not rewrite historical assessment or
+   golden-profile artifacts.
+
+## CI Use
+
+Use `--fail-on-regression` only when regressions should block the command:
+
+```bash
+repo-scoping self-assess \
+  --source-path . \
+  --comparison-output /tmp/repo-scoping-self-assessment.md \
+  --fail-on-regression
+```
+
+The command should not fail for ordinary `needs_review` results. Review-needed
+output is signal, not a broken build.
+
+## Updating The Golden Profile
+
+Update `golden/repo-scoping-golden-profile.v1.json` when the repository's real
+product utility has changed. Examples:
+
+- repo-scoping adds a genuinely new user-facing capability.
+- a capability is renamed after curator agreement.
+- a former out-of-scope behavior becomes product intent and has supporting
+  implementation evidence.
+
+Do not update the golden profile just because the engine failed to find an
+expected capability. That is usually an engine issue.
+
+## Fixing The Engine
+
+Fix the engine when a challenger:
+
+- repeats a known regression pattern
+- promotes dependency, fixture, schema, scanner-rule, or workplan vocabulary as
+  native capability truth
+- places features under a capability they do not support
+- loses source refs or cites evidence that does not support the abstraction
+- relies on generated `SCOPE.md` as primary proof for rebuilding the same model
+
+The 2026-05-15 run 39 failure is the canonical example: provider vocabulary from
+scanner code, tests, fixtures, and schema examples became the false native
+capability `Route LLM Requests Across Providers`. The correct action is to fix
+scanner/generator/acceptance behavior, not to teach the golden profile that
+repo-scoping is an LLM router.
+
+## Relationship To Agentic Acceptance
+
+Deterministic assessment can reject, downgrade, or flag output with transparent
+criteria. It should not approve candidate characteristics as registry truth.
+When automation stands in for human review, the decision belongs to an agentic
+reviewer that inspects evidence, applies versioned criteria, and records a
+rationale. That acceptance redesign is tracked in `RREG-WP-0014`.
