The brief at agentctx.go:167 advertised findings[].id and findings[].confidence
to every research session. The struct carried neither, so encoding/json dropped
both on every seal, silently, for as long as the schema has existed. A plan
phase had nothing stable to cite and no way to tell an observation from an
assumption.
Finding gains ID and Confidence. Ids are unique within an artifact and shaped
so "research:<id>" is unambiguous in plan prose. Confidence is fact, inference,
or assumption, matching the labels the output style already uses.
DecodeStoredResearch reads what is already in the CAS and backfills both.
Refusing an artifact sealed before this change would block every task whose
research predates it, including at rotation, where the agent that could fix it
is already gone. A backfilled finding is labelled inference rather than fact:
the old schema required evidence and made no verification claim, so upgrading
it on the way in would be the same class of lie this commit removes.

The brief told the agent to ask for a phase change and never carried the
asking. The agent asked in prose, no code represented the request, and the
session idled until its lease expired. That is what failed run 3.
F21. The agent asks with .orchestra/phase-request.json, and seals
research.json or plan.json where the phase it is leaving produces one. At a
verified turn boundary the worker checks the phase belief, the transition and
the artifact, then calls the coordinator with its lease epoch and a derived
operation id. AdvanceWorkPhase is unchanged, so a request cannot reach a move
the operator surface could not also make. Redelivery is idempotent.
F22. A session now records the phase it was launched to run. One that no
longer matches its task rotates with reason phase_changed, whether this worker
asked for the change or an operator made it.
F20. CLIAdapter.prompt sent handoff and rotation prompts without confirming
them, which is the failure F20 exists to catch. Fixed at the shared call site.
F23 needed no change. Issue comments already become decisions with no
submission, through Reconciler.Reconcile at PreLease and at every turn
boundary. The earlier finding searched internal/operations alone and was
wrong. Tests now cover the boundary it turns on.
