+- If the memories do NOT contain enough information to answer, you MUST ABSTAIN: return {"abstain": true} and nothing else.
+- If two memories CONFLICT across trust levels, PREFER the one with the higher trust. The memories are ordered with the most trusted first — do not blend in a lower-trust contradiction.
+- If two memories at the SAME trust level CONFLICT, prefer the one with the LATER recorded date, and treat a memory that explicitly describes an update/correction ("moved to", "updated from", "changed to") as superseding the original.

+/**
+ * The PURE dialectic synthesis helpers.
+ *
+ * The genuinely-new logic of the phase, isolated as side-effect-free functions so the
+ * trust-first contradiction ordering, the mandatory abstention, and the
+ * citation→recalled-id→sourceId mapping are RED-provable at $0 (no daemon, no DB, no
+ * model). The query-time LLM lives ONLY in `memory-dialectic-seam.ts`; these helpers
+ * never call it.
+ *
+ * Three invariants, each a trust-boundary mitigation:
+ * - TRUST-FIRST is a HARD boundary ({@link orderByTrust}). The `system>learned>external`
+ *   ladder (the same `TRUST_RANK` reused verbatim from `memory-triple-extraction-job.ts:58`
+ *   / `triple-store.ts:55-61`) orders the recall survivors; the higher-trust claim is
+ *   presented first and a lower-trust contradiction never blends into the answer. Trust is
+ *   read from `entry.trustLevel` in CODE — NEVER from anything the model emitted.
+ * - ABSTENTION is decided in CODE ({@link abstainIfInsufficient}, Pitfall 5), not left to
+ *   the prompt: an empty recall set, a parser that abstained, or a parsed result whose
+ *   citations do not intersect the recalled ids ⇒ abstain. The function is a pure predicate
+ *   over the recall set + the parsed result — it does NOT call the seam.
+ * - CITATIONS are validated ⊆ recalled ids ({@link mapCitationsToSourceIds}, Pitfall 4): a
+ *   hallucinated/forged id the model emits is DROPPED; each surviving citation is traversed
+ *   to its `sourceIds` (the reasoning-tree provenance chain).
+ *
+ * Architecture: agent-side, `@comis/core` port TYPES only (`MemorySearchResult`,
+ * `TrustLevel`). No memory-package import, no clock, no IO, no model (the agent↛memory cut
+ * holds — the synthesis files depend on core port types alone).
