-- The reproduced incompatibility is narrow: an exact beta.11 attempt-four stop was already
-  Human-overridden, then the successful third attempt changed approved Project Knowledge and the
-  ordinary delegated `task context-refresh` rebound the Plan to the new Knowledge Map. The original
-  override remained valid evidence but its Plan hash no longer equalled the current Plan hash.
-- Core now derives continuation only from existing append-only evidence. It requires exactly three
-  remediation events (`ordinary`, `ordinary`, `corrective`), the matching attempt-3 `continue-fix`,
-  matching attempt-4 `stop-escalate`, one applied stop override, one direct Knowledge rebind, a
-  mechanically equivalent Plan Risk Audit rebound, shared valid delegated authority, monotonic
-  chronology, and the same Git HEAD in the override and refreshed execution authorization.
-- Fresh `next` returns `task run` with `stopOverrideContextRebind.state=validated` only when every
-  binding above remains current. The fourth attempt remains mode `corrective` and passes through the
-  normal checks and strict-review cycle.
-- If C1 remains claimed but the writer lease was lost at the Human boundary, the same projection
-  exposes the existing `task writer-credential-replace` recovery for the exact claimant. No token is
-  persisted or reconstructed from evidence.
-- The route creates no new recovery journal and does not rewrite the stop, override, Plan, audit, or
-  authorization history. Semantic Plan drift, a second rebind, different HEAD, wrong authority,
-  malformed chronology, missing/duplicate override evidence, or sidecar corruption fails closed and
-  routes to `doctor`.
+- beta.12.2 handled one direct Knowledge-only Plan rebind after an already applied beta.11
+  attempt-four stop override. It did not handle the second normal update/context-refresh cycle
+  created while installing beta.12.2 into Signal. That limitation caused the next blocker.
+- Core now accepts an arbitrary contiguous append-only chain from the override-bound Plan to the
+  current Plan only when every adjacent Plan differs solely by Knowledge Map binding and every
+  adjacent Plan Risk Audit is an exact mechanical rebound. Rebind endpoints, delegated authority,
+  active grants, and event chronology must align at every hop.
+- Git HEAD may advance across that chain only through registered dependency-provenance recovery
+  records. Every intervening commit must be a single-parent commit in the exact ancestor chain,
+  must be listed in Workflow system commits, must have exactly one matching Task recovery record,
+  and may change only `package.json` and `package-lock.json` for `codex-workflow-v2`.
+- Fresh `next` returns `task run` with validated stop-override context-rebind evidence only after
+  all of those checks pass. A lost writer credential still routes through the existing exact
+  claimant `task writer-credential-replace` recovery. The fourth and later attempts remain
+  corrective and use the normal strict-review cycle.
+- The route is append-only: it rewrites no stop, override, Plan, audit, authorization, dependency,
+  or recovery evidence. Semantic Plan drift, missing or forked history, product-file changes,
+  mismatched recovery metadata, stale delegation, malformed chronology, or sidecar corruption
+  fails closed and routes to diagnostics.
 
-## Existing compatibility and lifecycle regressions retained
+## Exact Signal compatibility proof
 
-- The unchanged-Plan Human-confirmed beta.11 stop override remains append-only, idempotent, and
-  unavailable for `split-required`, stale confirmation bindings, or tampered evidence.
-- The general guarded-remediation model still has no attempt-count hard stop. Attempts 1-2 are
-  ordinary; attempts 3+ are corrective and remain executable under fresh review authority. The
-  beta.12.2 exception does not weaken the generic stale `continue-fix` recovery predicate.
-- Task-local dependency-provenance recovery still preserves product fields recorded before the
-  dependency-only candidate while rejecting candidate payload drift. The exact Signal T04
-  revision-26 replay retains only passed, attested historical Step commits and rejects pending or
-  corrupt review chains.
-- P01-A mechanical feasibility, P04-A Milestone dependency authority, atomic initial Plan and
-  project transactions, external-sealed review, corrective yield/replan, and observer byte-purity
-  remain green.
-- Structural replacement remains intentionally disabled. A `split-required` posture still returns
