+JavaScript string as the source coordinate system. The legacy format-only
+fallback for field-code paragraphs with no extractable accepted-view spans is
+not a text-replacement path. If an ASCII-space target selected an NBSP
+source, `resolvedTarget.targetTextMatch` reports `space_equivalent`, escaped
+source/request excerpts, and differing code points. An NBSP-to-space request is
+tracked as a replacement; it must not retain the NBSP and append another space.

 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+### Safety Fixes
+
+- **Foreign deleted-paragraph resurrection guard**: Refuses non-empty same-paragraph edits when another author owns the paragraph-mark deletion and all existing paragraph content is deleted. The operation now returns `FOREIGN_PARAGRAPH_MARK_DELETION` with the owning author instead of emitting lifecycle-unsafe OOXML; atomic document operations roll back byte-for-byte. `validateRedlineOoxml` reports already-authored instances as warnings.
+- **Source-truth whitespace replacement alignment (WP09a)**: Strict target resolution may equate ordinary spaces with NBSPs, but mutation offsets now always come from the resolved paragraph's exact accepted view. Space-equivalent word replacement hunks are refined to character-local edits, and multiple plain-text edits are applied right-to-left against refreshed live spans. This tracks NBSP-to-space substitutions exactly while preserving unchanged hyperlinks and prevents earlier run splits from invalidating later anchors.
+- **Exact mismatch diagnostics**: `PATCH_ROUNDTRIP_MISMATCH` now includes the expected and actual code points at the first mismatch. Document-operation results also report bounded `targetTextMatch` diagnostics when target selection used equivalent whitespace.
+- **Baseline-delta validation (WP09c)**: Restoration, operation, and package validation now compare issue multisets against the source. Unchanged legacy defects remain visible without blocking safe work, while any added occurrence or mutation-envelope error fails closed with `GENERATED_OOXML_INVALID` before an operation is reported as applied.
+- **Revision identity sanitation (WP09d)**: New paragraph/list builders inherit effective `pPr`/`rPr` formatting without cloning historical revision descendants. Operation-level whole-document validation catches duplicate revision IDs and rolls back the operation savepoint before committing its receipt.
+
+### New Features
+
+- **Explicit paragraph restoration (`type: 'restore'`)**: Restores or counterproposes another reviewer's pending whole-paragraph deletion as a separately tracked sibling paragraph. The source deletion remains untouched; the restored paragraph receives its own inserted paragraph mark, content insertion, sanitized paragraph properties, and fresh `w14:paraId`. Single paragraphs and contiguous ranges are supported, with full Accept/Reject lifecycle verification and structured refusals at unsafe table-row, move, section-break, and terminal-paragraph boundaries.
+- **Compact mutation CLI contract (WP09b)**: CLI contract version 3 removes `documentXml`, OOXML/package artifacts, full inspection data, and full validation issue arrays from normal `apply`, `accept`, `reject`, and `delete-comments` stdout. Mutation responses retain actionable errors, per-operation receipts, output durability fields, code/count validation summaries, and a derived `completion` flag that cannot report success for failed, partial, or unwritten work.
+- **Word-native deleted-section editing (WP09e)**: An explicit rejected-view `insert` operation can split a foreign deletion at an exact anchor-relative offset into sibling `del(A) / ins(B) / del(A)` carriers. Contiguous paragraph restorations now follow their untouched deleted source block, matching Microsoft Word's ordering. Ambiguous anchors and unsupported structural split boundaries remain fail-closed.

 - **Validation Update (`validateRedlineOoxml`)**: Refined `NESTED_REVISION` checks to permit direct `<w:ins><w:del>...</w:del></w:ins>` nesting (standard ECMA-376 and Word Desktop behavior), while continuing to strictly reject `ins/ins`, `del/del`, and `del/ins` nesting.
 - **Slicing Round-Trip Guard**: Cross-author surgical edits now preserve whitespace-only insertions (including ordinary-space replacements for NBSP characters beside hyperlinks) and verify the exact accepted-view text before reporting success. A mismatch fails closed with `PATCH_ROUNDTRIP_MISMATCH` and returns the original OOXML unchanged.
+- **Hyperlink-Adjacent Replacement Anchoring**: Paired replacements immediately before or after a hyperlink now retain a stable insertion point after the deletion run is split, preventing qualifiers from being relocated past the hyperlink or following formatted runs.
+- **Multiple Same-Run Insertions**: Insertion-only slicing operations with multiple edit points now apply from right to left against a refreshed live span index, preventing an earlier run split from relocating later insertions.
 - **Insertion Stress Hardening**: Slicing now detects edge whitespace changes exactly, uses a character-local insertion-only diff when the original text is an exact subsequence of the modified text, and coalesces new text into an existing same-author carrier when foreign revisions are also present. This prevents repeated phrases from relocating insertions and prevents invalid `w:ins/w:ins` nesting in mixed-author paragraphs.
 - **Preflight Inspection**: `preflightOperations` now inspects and validates `slice-cross-author` batches, reporting pending foreign-author carrier targets as `ready` instead of `EXISTING_REVISIONS`.
