Customer problem and change

When a live reply uses the wrong source or an unsupported review passes, evaluation-only stage evidence cannot explain that production decision. Add one bounded metadata line per logical support answer attempt, without retaining customer/model text, platform IDs, error messages or text hashes.

The existing pipeline records stage and physical provider-attempt outcomes, public-catalog source URLs/trust tiers, claimed reviewer source IDs and selected first/second-look verdict, changed-filter names, escalation codes and delivery status. Unknown source identities are omitted rather than logged from arbitrary paths. Delivery is distinct from acceptance; an unconfirmed send is not proof of absence. This observer changes no prompt, provider request body, routing, ownership fence or delivery authority.

Verification

• Two actual-handler red-before failures observed before wiring: missing trace and missing uncertain-send metadata.
• Full 1,266/1,266, existing no-model 8/8 pass on the final runtime. Final commit adds only a delivery-limit documentation clarification.
• Independent review found and reproduced six metadata defects; all were repaired. Re-review passes 40 focused checks plus 3 independent actual-handler regressions and finds no reply/routing/delivery change.
• Source catalog origin is not applicability or citation correctness. Stored-only/unregistered sources may be omitted after restart. Physical provider attempts count injected tests without spending provider quota.
• Exact-head hosted Node20/24 and real Postgres CI 40918151890 PASS at02c8d04; keep draft for disposition. Documentation: docs/PRODUCTION_ANSWER_TRACE.md.

Release and limits

Main cffb46b and production a9c9508/a6ef6b22 remain unchanged. #90 preserves provenance; it does not enforce hardware applicability. The failed #91 release and third smoke remain held. No paid run, customer/protected input, Discord post, optional enablement, merge or deployment occurs here. Existing unrelated log statements and a full exactly-once outbox are outside this change.

Answer-change evidence

Mode: no-answer-change
Head: 02c8d04
Justification: This observer records bounded application metadata only; prompt bodies, routing decisions, reply outputs, ownership fences and actual delivery authority remain unchanged under focused synthetic functional tests and independent runtime review.
