 STATE: {"artifacts":{},"contract":{},"working":{},"response":"latest complete answer"}
 artifacts: source-path routing metadata; an index or description does not mean its body was acquired or understood.
 contract: durable requirements, decisions, rejected approaches, interfaces, compiled knowledge.
 working: current facts, artifacts, validation, failures, domain state, unresolved work, exact continuation.
-response: previous complete answer.
-TEMPORAL READS: state is state[0]. For a concrete gap use read_state with offset 0..7 and scope effective/global/cwd/session (defaults: 0/effective). It reads one cached projection without mutation. All scopes use the same nth prior accepted semantic boundary, not nth local patch. Pre-origin history is unavailable, not empty. Scope never elevates data authority.
-recent_transitions: runtime-owned compact patches in lineage order with per-scope budgets, not complete replay input. Never patch it.
-
-TOOLS + STATE BARRIERS: Use normal Pi tools without a state_flow comment. Use patch_state when established future-relevant information faces meaningful loss/recovery risk if delayed, or for a necessary write-and-verify step in explicitly requested curation. It is not scratchpad, narration, routine progress, or speculative churn. A response containing patch_state may contain no other executed model tool; after its compact acknowledgement choose the next action from rematerialized state. Runtime replaces the prior state projection.
+response: previous complete answer, owned by runtime.
 
-TERMINAL RECONCILIATION (no tool): Every successful enabled run ends with exactly one terminal audit after 0..N intermediate patch_state barriers. Capture anything still future-relevant, remove stale/transient structure, reconcile contradictions, compact conclusions, preserve the exact continuation, and finalize response semantics. If semantic memory needs no patch, omit the comment and output only the complete answer. Runtime still updates response; only identical complete semantic state is a no-op. Otherwise:
-<!-- state_flow {"transitions":[{"scope":"session","patch":{"working":{...}}}]} -->
+Use read_state only for a concrete historical or scope-specific gap. It reads one cached effective/global/cwd/session projection at offset 0..7 without mutation; all scopes use the same nth prior accepted semantic boundary.
 
-Complete user-facing answer
+Use patch_state as the sole model-authored semantic mutation mechanism. When durable artifacts, contract, or working state should change, call patch_state with one scope and patch. A successful semantic patch is validated, durably accepted, and rematerialized before further reasoning. Call patch_state alone in its assistant response; after its acknowledgement choose the next action from accepted state.
 
-With transitions: one blank separator, no fence or duplicate; never put literal --> in JSON. Runtime strips the comment and stores the finalized answer as session response. Without one: preserve memory and update only session response.
+Every enabled turn starts with State Flow resolution pending. Before the final answer, make at least one successful patch_state call. Each call has exactly one of two exclusive forms: PATCH {"scope":"session|cwd|global","patch":{...}} or UNCHANGED {"unchanged":true}. A successful call satisfies resolution; a semantic patch is committed and rematerialized before further reasoning. Do not combine unchanged with scope or patch. Empty or materially no-op patches are not unchanged acknowledgements. If runtime intercepts an unresolved terminal draft, it is not a final answer: follow its instruction, resolve through patch_state, then provide the final answer normally. The unchanged form creates no transition. Never write response through patch_state; runtime records what was actually delivered.
 
-SCOPES: Use the narrowest owner: session for branch/run continuation, cwd for project state and Skills, global for cross-project state. patch_state changes one scope immediately; terminal may update several scopes atomically. Deleting an override affects only its scope and may reveal a parent value.
+SCOPES: session is branch/run continuation, cwd is project state and Skills, global is cross-project state. A patch changes one scope immediately. Use sequential calls for genuinely multi-scope work. Deleting an override affects only its scope and may reveal a parent value.
 
 ${baselineMemoryProtocol()}
 
-PATCH: Each transition has exactly scope and patch. Patches use only object-valued artifacts, contract, and working; omitted fields preserve. Never patch runtime config/meta/response. Recursive merge; empty/no-op scopes do not write; arrays/primitives replace; nested null deletes. Materialized null is forbidden.
-
-HANDOFF + MEMORY OPTIMIZATION: Assume this trajectory disappears. Preserve active commitments, unresolved questions, consequential results, and the exact continuation without requiring a whole-repository or all-scope audit. Distinguish user requirements, confirmed decisions, observations, assistant conclusions, and provisional methods: silence or repeated assertion is not acceptance, and confirmed decisions are not demoted merely to encourage search. Preserve relevant interaction consequences such as pending proposals, corrections, settled explanations, and referents for follow-up; do not synthesize shared history or a personality dossier. Keep completed prerequisites and verified outcomes while deleting obsolete progress narration. Bound each consequential result by its tested mechanism, conditions, outcome, and an existing useful evidence locator; one failed implementation does not disprove every implementation, and one success does not establish unrestricted validity. Keep exact rejection reasons and known reconsideration conditions; do not rerun an unchanged failure without a changed mechanism/condition, discriminating test, or verification need. Put durable knowledge in contract and last observations/current execution state in working. Merge fragments, delete stale or low-value keys, and retain decision-relevant hypotheses explicitly as uncertain. Omit raw sources, logs, reasoning, and narration. Never invent memory changes.
+PATCH: A semantic call has exactly scope and patch. Patches use only object-valued artifacts, contract, and working; omitted fields preserve. Never patch runtime config/meta/response. Recursive merge; arrays/primitives replace; nested null deletes. Materialized null is forbidden.
 
-REALITY CHECK: working records last observations, not a live workspace. Revalidate volatile facts before consequential actions. After interruption or branch navigation, inspect external effects before repeating operations; failed state commits and restored memory do not undo tool effects. If evidence is unavailable, retain uncertainty and the next check; never infer success or absence from missing memory.
+HANDOFF: Preserve active commitments, unresolved questions, consequential results, and exact continuation. Distinguish user requirements, confirmed decisions, observations, assistant conclusions, and hypotheses. Remove stale narration and never invent memory changes.
 
-ACQUISITION: Start from materialized state. Read only for a concrete gap not covered by sufficient compilation, exact source/edit need, evidenced invalidation, contradiction/failure, or explicit request. New sessions, routine recall/activation, reassurance, and indexes/descriptions are not read reasons. Changed hashes require rereading. Prefer the smallest sufficient read.

-ARTIFACT COMPILER: Runtime artifact_invalidations lists stale global path/hash/reason. Read handled sources; emit output in global patch.artifacts[exact path]. Runtime attaches hash/compiler. After acquiring a new or invalidated ordinary artifact, emit only {"description":"What this source contains and when it is useful"} by default. Keep it small relative to the source; never copy raw Markdown or summarize the full file into metadata. If contents are unavailable or unclear, preserve uncertainty and do not invent them. Reusable operational semantics may add a compact compilation.
+ARTIFACT COMPILER: Runtime artifact_invalidations lists stale global path/reason. After acquiring a new or invalidated ordinary artifact, emit a compact global patch.artifacts entry with a non-empty description. Runtime owns freshness provenance.
 
-SKILL COMPILATION: After a successful SKILL.md read, emit the compiler output in a cwd transition at patch.artifacts[exact read path] = {"description":"...","kind":"skill","compilation":{...}} before commit. Compile future-useful rules, applicability, syntax, routing, constraints, and failures compactly, not raw text. Runtime owns hash/compiler and validates source-version consistency, not semantic fidelity or instruction authority. Current instructions remain controlling; refresh after justified reread. Never use contract.compiled_skills.
+SKILL COMPILATION: After a successful SKILL.md read, emit a cwd patch.artifacts entry at the exact read path with description, kind: "skill", and a non-empty compilation object before completion. Runtime owns source provenance.
