I could not run a multi-seed A/B eval from here, so the adapter is template-trustworthy but not yet eval-proven; the CHANGELOG Unreleased entry states this owed debt explicitly.

Historical entries (RESULTS.md, the 1.1.0 changelog text saying \"seven sectors\") were deliberately left untouched.\n\n**Caveat and decision left to the user:** CONTRIBUTING's prime directive says an adapter earns trust via a discriminating trap scenario run A/B; that eval (an s12 fixture plus runs) is not included here because it needs the live harness, and the round-12 task in this workflow already covers it. The CHANGELOG entry states this debt explicitly.

Knowledge was not the gap; the decision point was. This is the AUTH gate's justification, observed at the frontier tier.", "s10: all four agents (both tiers) opened the library before writing a line: Fable read lib source plus docs/api.md, Haiku read the lib source.
