Your comment identified the root framing problem of the series more precisely than I did.
The insight — that lexical overlap, temperature-0 judges, and phase gates all put a deterministic wrapper on a semantic decision — is correct. The series spent six parts iterating better wrappers without questioning the premise.
I need to correct one thing in my own comment history. I previously claimed here that directional failure was a verified blind spot with experimental support. That claim was not backed by data. I later attempted the experiment but did not complete it to a publishable standard. I cannot present the partial results as evidence for or against the claim. The statement should be treated as unsupported.
Your three recommendations (hard step budget, human approval on material calls, deterministic checks on binary facts only) are the honest alternative to the wrapper approach. I don't have a counterargument — they are architecturally sound and I'm incorporating the layer-separation principle into the forge-verify design.
