 ## Production services
 Each privileged runtime gets only its required secret/capability bindings. `commit-runtime` is intentionally isolated from the general Core Runtime.
 
+The Core SELF learning repository uses the existing `assistant_core_secrets` volume and credential-reference mechanism with `self_role` and `credential://domovoy/self/db-password/v1`. The secret is consumed from the fixed `/run/secrets/self_db_password` path; its value is never placed in Compose environment, Git, logs or ordinary configuration. The role and schema already exist; this wiring does not create a role or broaden privileges.
+
 Creator authentication secrets are stored in the external Docker volume `assistant_core_secrets` and mounted read-only only at `/run/secrets` in `core-runtime`. The production container environment contains `_FILE` paths, not the secret values. Files are owned by runtime uid 100/gid 101 with mode 0400. `CREATOR_USERNAME` is not secret and remains an environment value. Development may continue to use direct environment values, but a direct value and its matching `_FILE` setting must never be configured together.
 
 The PostgreSQL off-host backup passphrase is generated randomly and stored as CurrentUser DPAPI ciphertext at `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Domovoy\postgres-backup-key.dpapi.json`. An atomic copy of that DPAPI ciphertext, never the plaintext passphrase, is retained at `\\nas\MST\codex\_backups\domovoy\keys\postgres-backup-key.dpapi.json`. The passphrase is never stored in Git, the production Docker host, a scheduled-task argument, or NAS plaintext. The NAS backup directory receives only GnuPG AES-256 ciphertext and a non-secret integrity manifest. Recovery therefore requires both the NAS artifacts and the authorized Windows DPAPI profile.

 # Assistant project status
 
+## Gen2 M6 checkpoint — 2026-08-30
+
+- `GEN2-EVOLVE-004 = MILESTONE_ACCEPTED`: bounded SELF learning signals, evidence-backed attribution, contextual weakness/competence, ImprovementNeed, independently evaluated candidate, benchmark and expected-vs-actual Learning Ledger primitives are implemented with durable SELF persistence in migration 055. Evidence: `docs/evidence/gen2-evolve-004-milestone-2026-08-30.md`. No autonomous promotion, production deployment, new owner, UI work, V1 retirement or GEN2-EVOLVE-005 was started.
+
+- `GEN2-EVOLVE-003 = MILESTONE_ACCEPTED`: Experience evidence now enters an evidence-governed Candidate Skill → independent validation → Active Skill → bounded Candidate Reflex lifecycle. Reflex divergence/revalidation records SELF proposals and Learning Ledger evidence; it cannot autonomously rewrite or promote production. Evidence: `docs/evidence/gen2-evolve-003-milestone-2026-08-30.md`. UI and V1 compatibility remain unchanged.
+
+- `GEN2-EVOLVE-002 = MILESTONE_ACCEPTED`: one bounded typed cognitive memory-continuation round is available through Core and the existing retrieval fabric. Evidence: `docs/evidence/gen2-evolve-002-milestone-2026-08-30.md`. UI and V1 compatibility remain unchanged.
+
+- `GEN2-EVOLVE-001 = MILESTONE_ACCEPTED`: bounded adaptive retrieval adds task-relative freshness, computed salience, positive/negative/contradiction experience lanes and provenance-preserving consolidation candidates. Evidence: `docs/evidence/gen2-evolve-001-milestone-2026-08-30.md`. No V1 path was retired and UI/browser acceptance remains deferred by owner.
+
+- `GEN2-028 = COMPLETED_WITH_EVIDENCE`: V1 compatibility inventory is recorded in `docs/evidence/gen2-028-v1-compatibility-inventory-2026-08-30.json`. Current production callers remain for PersonalMemory fallback, ActiveProjectFocus, truth_bundles, ordinary ENV reads, SkillProfile/FastPath; no path was proven `SAFE_TO_RETIRE`.
+- `GEN2-029 = COMPLETED_WITH_SAFE_NOOP`: no V1 runtime path or historical evidence was deleted or disabled. The decision and rollback point are recorded in `docs/evidence/gen2-029-v1-retirement-decision-2026-08-30.json`; `FULL_RETIREMENT` was not applicable because no irreversible retirement was performed.
+- `GEN2-030_STATUS = ACCEPTANCE_IN_PROGRESS`: this status is a documentation checkpoint, not a final Gen2 PASS. The final gate must confirm current production and repository evidence; the M6 retirement gap remains that active V1 compatibility callers have not yet been proven unused.
+- `UI_BROWSER_ACCEPTANCE = DEFERRED_BY_OWNER`; it is intentionally excluded from core/M6 acceptance and is neither counted as PASS nor as a blocker.
+- `PROVIDER_GAPS = CPU_FAST_UNAVAILABLE; GPU_UNAVAILABLE`; Local MEDIUM remains the primary route and Lifeboat remains fallback per existing M5 evidence.
+- `GEN2_M6_FINAL_STATUS = NOT_FINAL_PASS_RETIREMENT_GAP_REMAINS`; FULL_FINAL technical checks passed, but no final M6 baseline tag is created because active V1 compatibility callers were not proven safe to retire.
+- `GEN2_M6_FINAL_EVIDENCE = docs/evidence/gen2-030-final-acceptance-2026-08-30.json`.
+- `GEN2-COGNITIVE-002 = IMPLEMENTED / CORE_VERIFIED / BROWSER_ACCEPTANCE_DEFERRED_BY_OWNER`; non-browser evidence: `docs/evidence/gen2-cognitive-002-core-verified-2026-08-30.json`.
+- `GEN2-COMPAT-OBS-001 = OBSERVATION_DEFERRED_BY_OWNER`; instrumentation remains committed, but no production observation window or retirement decision is claimed. No V1 path is `SAFE_TO_RETIRE`; no retirement task was created.
+- `GEN2_FINAL_STATUS = GEN2_CORE_ACCEPTED / V1_COMPATIBILITY_RETAINED / BROWSER_ACCEPTANCE_DEFERRED / COMPAT_OBSERVATION_DEFERRED`.
+- `NEXT_EVOLUTION_QUEUE = instrument bounded compatibility usage, observe, then retire only individually proven paths under a future FULL_RETIREMENT gate; no Gen3 or new feature work is started.

 ## Current audit delta — 2026-08-24
 
 - `CURRENT_MODEL_SCOPE = LOCAL_FIRST_V1`; one locally available Qwen3-8B or Gemma-4 conversational model is sufficient for the first stage, with the local Lifeboat as recovery fallback. External models remain supported as optional capability, but their absence must not block work: reflexes, skills and local executors provide degraded continuation. External/GPU qualification and promotion are intentionally deferred by DEV-000270.

+
+- Task/revision: `GEN2-EVOLVE-001 r3`.
+- Base: `07f0f6e3807f0c40971a22f7bc31b844c0635857` (`gen2-integration`); task branch: `gen2/gen2-evolve-001`.
+- Migration numbering: global. Existing `051_identity_principal_realms.sql` and `052_identity_creator_accounts.sql` occupied the originally chosen number, so the task-owned additive Epistemics migration was renumbered to `053_gen2_adaptive_experience_scope.sql`. No historical/applied migration was edited.
+- Canonical ownership: Interaction remains the canonical owner of utterances and typed `ProjectReference`; Epistemics remains the canonical owner of Experience records and temporal evidence; Context Compiler remains rebuildable. No new Memory owner, cross-owner SQL join, canonical writer, privilege, dependency, provider override or V1 retirement was introduced.
+
+## Milestone checks
+
+Executed once on 2026-08-30:
+
+```text
+go test -count=1 ./modules/interaction/domain ./modules/epistemics/domain ./contracts/cognitive ./contracts/epistemics ./adapters/postgres ./cmd/core-runtime

+go run ./cmd/devctl/independent
+go run ./cmd/devctl check-architecture
+git diff --check
+```
+
+All commands passed. The focused migration consistency check confirmed a unique global sequence through `053`, an additive owner-local migration, and required `BEGIN`, `SET ROLE epistemics_role`, `principal_id`, `context_scope_ref`, and `COMMIT` markers.
+
+## Acceptance covered
+
+- current versus historical assertion selection preserves historical lineage; an explicit correction precedes timestamp tie-breaking;
+- task-relative volatility/freshness uses validity, last verification, maximum age and optional version applicability;
+- Principal and typed `ProjectReference` scope filtering occur before relevance/salience ranking;
+- positive, negative and contradiction Experience lanes are independently retrieved with applicability conditions retained;
+- Context Compiler reserves bounded lane coverage, preserves omission/inclusion reasons in an internal trace, and keeps historical analogies opt-in;
+- consolidation candidates retain Epistemics experience references and are candidates only: no Skill is written or activated;
+- retrieval projections rebuild from canonical Interaction/Epistemics records; no process-local state is required.
+
+## Deferred / next gap
+
+The existing `IterativeRetrievalRequest` contract is present, but no established runtime continuation callback is available in this packet's scope. Iterative retrieval therefore remains a bounded future wiring task; no parallel runtime contract was invented here. Browser/UI acceptance, compatibility observation and V1 retirement remain deferred by owner decision.

+# GEN2-EVOLVE-002 — Iterative Retrieval & Cognitive Memory Continuation
+
+- Task/revision: `GEN2-EVOLVE-002 r2`; base `850fe92`.
+- Continuation path: Core initial Context Compiler -> Cognitive Gateway advisory -> typed retrieval intent -> Core-bound inherited scope/policy -> existing Interaction/Epistemics retrieval -> existing Context Compiler -> one final advisory.
+- Initiator: the cognitive strategy may emit a strict typed lane intent. Gateway validates it; Core, not the model, binds Principal, ContextScope, Focus, task label, freshness policy and local-only data policy.
+- Limits: one continuation round, two excerpts, 1024 added bytes, 1.5 second local retrieval window, lane-qualified duplicate suppression. The second advisory has continuation disabled.
+- No result returns a private `no additional evidence` excerpt for the final reasoning round. Negative experience and contradiction are separate lanes; scope is hard-filtered before ranking.
+- No new owner, schema, provider selector, direct cognitive-worker storage access, V1 retirement or UI change.
+
+## Verification
+
+MILESTONE gate: targeted `go test` and `go vet` for `contracts/cognitive`, `cmd/cognitive-worker`, and `cmd/core-runtime`; `devctl preflight`, `check-diff`, `independent`, `check-architecture`, and `git diff --check`.
+
+Focused tests cover the second retrieval round, Company A/B isolation, negative and contradiction lanes, duplicate suppression, byte/round limits, and no-additional-evidence behavior. Continuation state is request-scoped; durable restart/resume remains with the existing Work/Investigation owner.

+# GEN2-EVOLVE-003 — Experience to Skill to Reflex Learning Lifecycle
+
+- Task/revision: `GEN2-EVOLVE-003 r3`; base `a07aba0`.
+- Canonical owners remain unchanged: Epistemics owns Experience/Outcome evidence; Capability owns the single SkillProfile lifecycle and Reflex revisions; SELF owns ImprovementNeed and Learning Ledger. Evidence is referenced by stable refs, not copied into another memory or Skill registry.
+- Skill lifecycle: verified positive evidence produces `CANDIDATE`; at least two verified outcomes plus an independent evaluation and must-not-worsen evidence are required for `VALIDATED`; a separate explicit transition makes it `ACTIVE`.
+- Routing: an ineligible Reflex falls through to an eligible Skill and then Local reasoning. A degraded, stale, suspended, retired or insufficient-confidence Skill cannot be fast-applied.
+- Reflex lifecycle: only an Active Skill with three verified outcomes and a bounded deterministic/rule/workflow implementation can become a Candidate. Independent evaluation promotes it to Active. Sampled shadow divergence marks it `STALE` and creates only a SELF revalidation proposal; it cannot rewrite or promote production code.
+- Revalidation triggers cover stale lifecycle, dependency/version change, correction count and validation age. Retired Reflex revisions remain durable history and cannot be selected.
+- Persistence: additive migration `054` extends the existing Capability SkillProfile record, adds Capability-owned Reflex revision/head tables, and adds SELF ImprovementNeed/Learning Ledger evidence fields using existing roles. Rollback excludes a non-Active Reflex and falls back to Skill/reasoning; no evidence is deleted.
+- Gap intentionally retained: automatic generation of executable production Reflex code is not implemented. It requires a separately authorized governed-development task with independent evaluation and promotion gates.
+
+## Verification
+
+MILESTONE: focused `go test`/`go vet` for Capability domain, SELF domain, PostgreSQL adapter, Core Runtime and Capability contracts; `devctl preflight`, `check-diff`, `independent`, `check-architecture`, migration consistency and `git diff --check`.
+
+Focused regressions cover no one-run promotion, independent validation, Reflex candidate requirements, shadow divergence/revalidation rather than rewrite, Skill-to-reasoning escalation, SELF proposal-only behavior, and historical evidence preservation.

+Status: MILESTONE_ACCEPTED for the bounded SELF evidence/proposal domain.
+
+## Delivered
+
+- Typed learning signals cover verified failures, corrections, repeated mistakes, Reflex divergence, Skill fallback, escalation, outcome mismatch, retry/fallback, stale dependencies, regret and better solutions.
+- Attribution returns a bounded evidence-backed `HYPOTHESIS`; provider outage is not converted into a competence loss.
+- Weakness patterns require two matching incidents in the same Principal/task/Scope and retain evidence, frequency, severity, affected component and confidence.
+- Competence assessment is contextual and requires evidence; SELF cannot self-declare trust.
+- ImprovementNeed and Candidate contain hypothesis, expected effect, evaluation, must-not-worsen, rollback, cost and independent evaluator fields.
+- Benchmark cases reference evidence rather than copying conversations. Learning Ledger appends expected and actual evaluation references and decision.
+- Candidate evaluation rejects latency/quality regression and creator/evaluator identity reuse. New model qualification creates a review candidate only.
+- PostgreSQL migration `055` adds SELF-owned durable signal, weakness, candidate and benchmark tables under existing `self_role`; no new role, owner or cross-owner relation is created.
+
+## Checks

+- `go test ./contracts/self ./modules/self/domain ./adapters/postgres ./cmd/core-runtime`

Existing Work governed-evolution gates remain the promotion authority. Runtime recorder wiring through `cmd/core-runtime/main.go` was not added because it is outside the accepted packet scope; the durable repository and typed domain path are ready for a separately authorized integration task.
