+# BUG-000020 joint v2, 2026-10-20
+
+Original saved call documents, unchanged bytes. No credentials or full package archive.
+Initial interpretation omitted described_behavior[0].verification. The scoped patch added
+not_independently_verified without changing the statement text. Two candidates were reviewed
+as independent; one was explicitly replaced. Hypothesis acceptance then failed because
+premise interpretation_paths were missing from their parent dependency lists (all three
+candidates reference investigation_direction from a premise without declaring it above).
+These are existing, readable statement references, not invented evidence. Unioning validated
+explicit references is safe dependency bookkeeping, not semantic endorsement.
+
+Unknown paths/sources, unread grounded evidence, unreviewed semantic dependencies and changed
+retained inputs remain rejected. Regression replays this corpus offline. Original replies stay
+immutable; normalized projections are derived. Retaining a candidate never accepts the whole set
+without the existing diversity, grounding and count validation.
