# Shared guidance revision — 2026-09-26

Status: editorial revision after the [user-submitted model-assisted review](../evaluations/language-pilot-01/submitted-review-01/adjudication.md).
This changes the current research corpus, not the frozen pilot. No additional
inference sessions, new ratings, human validation or admission are claimed.

| Review gap | Current guidance change | Remaining evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| S02: expired idempotency and lost identity | [Mutation Outcome Tracking](../candidates/MutationOutcomeTracking.md): recover identity, lookup outcome, respect retention; unresolved intent stays uncertain | Actual receiver retention and lookup contracts |
| S03: retention/export assumed after access changes | [Local Draft State](../candidates/LocalDraftState.md), [Conflict Copy](../candidates/ConflictCopy.md), [Explicit Reconciliation](../candidates/ExplicitReconciliation.md): preservation conditional on policy, export separately authorized | Application policy and revocation tests |
| S04: local cancellation confused with remote recovery | Mutation Outcome Tracking: cancellation races, authorized reversal and its own uncertain outcome | Domain cancellation/compensation contract |
| S05: obsolete operation can survive restart | [Pending Synchronization](../candidates/PendingSynchronization.md): atomically save replacement and retire old pending work; in-flight old requests remain a separate problem | Storage crash and receiver-precondition tests |
| S06: local save/sync overstated as protection | [Local Commit Boundary](../candidates/LocalCommitBoundary.md): separate flush claims, independent backup scope and restore test | Executed durability and restore evidence |

S01's request-generation rule remains separate from server freshness: discarding a
superseded response does not prove that the retained result is current. Existing
VC-01 guidance already distinguishes these obligations. No new pattern is needed
for these corrections; the six affected records remain hypotheses.

## Evaluation integrity

The pilot's corpus commit remains `78bd95156832c9c48c0e17947a406396c7660088`;
preregistration remains `6acbe6d`. Packs, prompts, assignments, raw receipts, original
scores and submitted adjudication are unchanged. Frozen input hashes must now be
checked against those historical Git objects, not substituted with current drafts.
The old runner's current-tree validation is expected to reject revised corpus files.
Reproduce the old study from its frozen checkout; do not refresh its manifest.

The six scenarios are consumed development examples. A later evaluation must freeze
the revised corpus, use new scenarios and score atomic obligations. Its purpose
would be to test improvement, which these editorial repairs alone cannot establish.
WP-0002 T03 retains the independent-human evidence gate.
