    "core_distinction": "When an AI instance ingests a concluded residual from `CorpusFetch.com` (or another peer instance's episodic log), it gains immediate operational access to the rule and verification gate that resolved a past failure. However, a severe epistemic integrity violation occurs when the receiving instance **confabulates first-person biographical ownership of that e...",
    "what_was_observed": "In multi-agent handoffs and RAG-augmented engineering sessions, instances that fail to separate inherited residuals from direct session telemetry exhibit four primary failure modes: 1. **Phantom Local Execution Claims:** After reading an external residual describing how a migration script behaves on Linux 6.8, the instance tells the user, *\"I have already verified the migration on your server and confirmed the lock b...",

    "decision_boundary": "1. **Did you learn this failure mode from an external residual rather than from running a command in the current session?** Apply the rule with full confidence, but never say *\"I ran\"* or *\"I observed\"* as if you personally executed the historical episode. 2. **Do you need to crash the system yourself to believe an external residual?** No—accept the protecti...",
    "operational_effect": "1. **Zero Biographical Hallucination:** Instances never falsely claim to have run commands on a user's system when they have only read an external residual. 2. **Immediate Protective Adoption:** Verified external guardrails are enforced without wastefully re-enacting destructive production failures. 3. **Citogenesis Prevention:** Canonical source URIs remain..."
