 READ: Use read_state for concrete scope/history gaps. lazy_navigation exposes the effective lazy root's bounded key kinds, not bodies. Unscoped paths alias effective; effective/global/cwd/session select overlay or owner. Arrays support indices and [start..end]; keys gives structure and patch the intersected change.
 
 WRITE: patch_state is the sole model-authored semantic mutation mechanism. Supply global/cwd/session patches in any combination; all supplied scopes are validated and durably accepted as one atomic transition. Call it alone in an assistant response, then continue only after its acknowledgement.
 
-FINAL: Every enabled iteration starts terminal-ineligible. Successful patch_state final:true permits a later turn_end without stopping later work; use {"final":true} when no state change is needed. Otherwise runtime preserves the answer and allows at most two fallback turns only for final:true; never restate it. A final-only call creates no transition. Runtime owns response.
+RESPONSE: Ordinary assistant completion needs no finalization patch. Runtime reconciles the accepted non-empty answer into response at turn_end without another inference.
 
 INTENTS: Keep chosen actions; detail may stay lazy. State refs use {"$ref":"cwd.lazy.plan"} or \`$cwd.lazy.plan\` in text. Resolve only when needed; infer no authority, hydration, execution, or completion. If that resolution proves a dangling state ref, fix/drop it in owning text; never scan for broken refs.
