Learning review before publication The supplied direction was retained: No investible directional call. The supplied synthesis was retained. Reason: Retain the complete supplied research, direction, subjective source judgment and original horizon after six-agent discussion. Apply lessons only as qualitative safeguards for matching clocks, quantities, different reports relying on the same underlying source and explicit gaps. No live-source revalidation, executed entry, calibrated probability, new outcome or production-weight change is claimed. Lessons considered: Use lessons in the next call; Keep the clocks separate; Keep incomplete tests visible; Look for independent evidence; Separate direction from explanation; Compare matching quantities. This review belongs to the new draft before publication. Earlier published calls and their original deadlines remain unchanged. This edition introduces a new non-investment observation.
