Executes the charter (1fc0650) top-down. Substrate: Dynamic Workflow
(wf_41bb3936-e6d, 96 agents) in the mandated scout-inline -> pipeline ->
synthesize-inline hybrid + an over-keeping meta-critic.
Result across 35 canonical capabilities (post-adversarial):
KEEP 25 / THIN_WRAP 6 / SIMPLIFY 4 / DROP->NATIVE 0.
Headline: Voyage's existence is justified by typed structured-artifact
handovers + multi-session discipline (CC 2.1.183 has no native analog);
NOT by swarm-context-relief (measured d~0) and NOT by re-hosting CC engines.
Where CC ships the engine (research/exploration/reviewer swarms, the Gemini
bridge, observability) the only defensible role is a thin policy layer.
Zero-DROP is over-keeping at the edges: a meta-critic flags 4 downgrade
candidates (V09 gemini-bridge opus-on-glue; V15 pr/issue/markdown export
variants; V32 observability vs native OTLP collector [contested]; V35 dormant
synthesis-agent). Acting on all 4 trims edges, does not move the headline.
Post-2.1.181 delta run: latest CC = 2.1.183 (2.1.182 never shipped); bugfixes +
auto-mode git guards only, nothing balance-relevant. Verification #1-6 logged
(#5 deviation documented: 0 DROP produced -> meta-critic covered the DROP half).
Analysis only -> recommendations operator-gated before any impl. No change to
Handover 1; operator-pinned decisions flagged, never overridden.
