The engine can now RETIRE a fact via an operator-gated, explicitly-signalled
temporal-update supersede — completing the consolidation motor's one S2 TODO
("no supersede in S2 — that's S3"). A `supersedes` signal on a candidate retires
the stale fact (re-minted to an archival id, status: superseded, REPLACED IN
PLACE, retained as audit) and installs the new winner under the canonical key-id,
so mintEntityId(key) always points at the live fact.
- consolidate.ts: Candidate.supersedes? + ProfileDiff.supersedes (SupersedeOp
carries the full winner fact, so applyDiff stays a pure projector). proposeDiff
value-guarded routing fork (routes only when the target holds a DIFFERENT value —
else a re-sent signal would self-supersede every run) + intra-batch
first-supersede-wins guard. applyDiff replace-in-place + value-matched state-check
(oldId present, active, value===oldValue) → idempotent re-apply + stale-diff safe;
superseded facts never bumped/promoted (supersede wins). Decay excludes superseded.
archivalId seeded with the pre-archival id (collision-free).
- cli.ts: renderDiffMd `## Supersessions (old → new)` (rendered last, only when
present → zero-supersession diffs stay byte-identical); validateCandidates optional
single-line `supersedes`; `--gather` profileFacts filtered to active (superseded
archival facts never re-presented as live context).
- Tests: +12 brain (consolidate 10 + consolidate-cli 2). TDD: RED (6 fail) → GREEN
(94/94). BRAIN_TESTS_FLOOR 82->94; ASSERT_BASELINE_FLOOR unchanged at 80 (no new
test-runner.sh section). Gate 95/0/0.
- Docs: consolidation-loop.md rule table + honest-limit reconciled (the operator
gate is the only classification net); engine docstring updated.
All 13 success criteria deterministically tested (unlike S3a, no behavioural-only
SC). READ-only gate unchanged — brain consolidate --apply --confirm stays the sole
profile.md writer. Scope held: scripts/brain/ only; temporal-update only
(condition-dependent/distractor deferred).

The second brain now feeds generation: strategy-advisor reads brain/profile.md
as evidence-to-test (anti-sycophancy default, graceful absence on fresh installs).
First end-to-end proof of capture → consolidate → read-back-into-generation.
- agents/strategy-advisor.md: brain/profile.md added to Step 0 Load Context + a
consumption subsection (Static/Dynamic layers, evidence_count/last_seen weighting,
anti-sycophancy counter-pressure, silent degrade when the file is absent).
- scripts/test-runner.sh: new Section 16d (Brain Profile Reader) — 2 UNCONDITIONAL
checks (non-vacuity self-test with legacy-path/lowercase decoy + exact-literal
wiring grep on strategy-advisor.md), ASSERT_BASELINE_FLOOR 78→80, header
enumeration extended. Gate 93→95/0/0; brain floor 82 untouched.
- docs/second-brain/consolidation-loop.md: reconciled the stale "no reader yet"
honest-limit to the true partial state (one reader; broader consumption deferred).
TDD: RED (only the wiring grep failed, exit 1) → GREEN (95/0/0). READ-only — the
brain consolidate --apply --confirm gate stays the sole writer. SC4 (graceful
absence) verified by inspection; SC5 (read-back) deferred to a reloaded session
(honest — agent prompts load at session start). S3a scope held: one reader, no
parser, no id-threading.

Bump BRAIN_TESTS_FLOOR to 82 (SB-S2 adds consolidate(12)+consolidate-cli(7)).
No new test-runner section → ASSERT_BASELINE_FLOOR unchanged at 78 (the hook
SC6 test runs separately via `node --test hooks/scripts/__tests__/*.test.mjs`,
not the structure gate). Add docs/second-brain/consolidation-loop.md (CLI usage,
engine rules, the candidate-file session↔engine contract, operator gate, honest
limits incl. no-reader-until-S3). Gate 93/0/0; hook suite 136/0.
