Existing structures, current behavior, and historical decisions were treated as different things that had to be reconciled.
Session provenance made an old architectural choice inspectable instead of asking the model to reconstruct intent.
Backlog, architecture, blueprint, and handoff behaved like stages of one system rather than unrelated commands.
