+
+Prefer typed feeds over WorldLog when both fire (relationship / status / combat).
+Registry Upsert merges same key and refreshes `LastSeenAt` for sticky combat/status/grief.
+
+## Interrupt / hold / grace
+
+1. Instant cut when `next.TotalScore >= current + cutInMargin` (no settle).
+2. Else hold while `InterestCompletion.IsActive` and under MaxWatch.
+3. Quiet grace 6s: still-worth-watching filter, then Character fill with empty reason.
+
+## Mutation gap triage
+
+`mutation_discovery` refreshes `.harness/mutation_gaps.tsv`.
+Open rows are unexplained Wire candidates only.
+False positives (clear/load/UI/FX/getters) and covered-by-primary paths are filtered or listed in `AlreadyWired`.
+Library fields are inventory-complete via catalogs / activity / WorldLog (`mutation_libraries.tsv` notes).
