Constructive consultation: corrected synthesis, unused investigation

The corrected full development comparison finished with static synthesis at 55.3%/$0.14591468 and live consultation available at 62.5%/$0.13470246 per ten attempts, two full-credit tasks each. Native has nine valid grades, averaging 55.556%, and costs $0.04759982 over ten attempts. Its remaining semantic grade failed evidence grounding, including one unchanged-artifact retry; this is not a complete ten-task native score. All 612 solver and seven grader requests reported usage. Total study cost, including both invalid grading calls, is $0.32821696.

The private runtime correction removed the old media-path failure in all 20 auxiliary builders. Reference files were read in nine episodes per method, and ordinary edits followed in five. Neither policy used diagnostic execution; live made zero consultation calls. Its higher score therefore supplies an unreplicated synthesis-policy observation, not a retained-builder investigation effect. The configuration closes under its declared no-use rule; no adoption sweep, repetition or validation is selected.

The original v0 remains separately retained: native 56.8%/$0.05359412, live 53.3%/$0.13760870, static 56.3%/$0.11343898. All 20 original builders encountered the documented runtime defect; those valid attempted-policy results are not clean repetitions of functioning consultation. Original code, scores, usage and the revision-2 attachment remain available.

The replacement archive includes corrected generic code, authored integration records, scalar outcomes, full accounting and the qualified report. It excludes benchmark content, trajectories and grading evidence. The failed grading retry retained artifact and prompt hashes and did not recover a score. Publication/process completion remains distinct from delivered work. AutoGen, debate, MoA and CodeMonkeys are direct precedents; these implementation and policy observations do not establish a new mechanism or performance frontier.
