PROPOSAL (code_derived_inference; not an author's claim; untested). An eight-row decision table turns candidates 01-06 into agent instructions: pick the strength of the conflict claim (DT1), check four things on a character change (DT2), name the medium before using a length figure (DT3), outline first but revisable and define 'scenario' (DT4), look up the coverage cell before attributing a rule (DT5), quote within 25 words against pinned bytes (DT6), say 'not found' when no row answers (DT7), label any transfer to a new medium as an extension (DT8). Each row lists the evidence it rests on and a caution. No row has been run on a draft.
