Question fidelity
Verdicts and auditsalso: fidelity · answers as asked · partially carried · right subject, wrong kind of answer · different question · checkpointWhether the descent still answers what the operator typed, checked at four checkpoints: the master question, the goals, the gap questions and the hypotheses.
The verdicts are answers as asked, partially carried, subject preserved but shape lost (right subject, wrong kind of answer), question substituted (different question), and no obligations to check. Four rows, not one, because a run's story is only legible as four: the ask can survive at the master question, thin at the goals, nearly vanish at the gaps and be absent at the hypotheses. The rule: describe the drift, never block the run, never touch a prompt. Mention is not commitment: containing the words never satisfies a test.
