The lifecycle layer over the trend store: what happens to a trend AFTER first capture.
- re-score on re-capture (last-wins; addTrend duplicate branch, score the one mutable
field; provenance + lifecycle untouched; no false-merge via JSON compare). Reverses
R3a's first-sight D3 — that R3a test reconciled to the new behaviour.
- status new/acted/skipped (effectiveStatus/setStatus + act/skip/reset CLI verbs);
rankForBrief EXCLUDES handled trends (a work queue, not an archive).
- seen-log surfacedCount/lastSurfacedAt (markSurfaced, per-day idempotent); the brief
CLI records surfacing on the store AFTER the pure render, unless --no-mark.
- render: entry id in backticks (copy-paste for act/skip) + · sett Nx prior-day hint.
- schema v3→v4 (additive lossless); the R3a migration block reconciled to the bump,
the new R3b block committed against SCHEMA_VERSION (breaks the reconcile cycle).
score.ts + item.ts untouched (re-score reuses the R3a capture path). RED-first (two
phase: 16 logic-RED + 4 stub-RED). Gate: Section 16k (6 emitters), TRENDS_TESTS_FLOOR
146→171, ASSERT_BASELINE_FLOOR 99→105. trends 171/171, gate 120/0/0, hook suite 139/139.
Plan: docs/research-engine/{brief,plan}-re-r3b.md (light-Voyage hardened @ c40b937).
