v0.21.0-wiplineage recoverylocal synthetic evidence
Answer first
How many canonical definitions are in this branch?
120. Thirteen v0.21 terms cover operator contracts, adversarial portability, redress continuity, rollback boundaries, disclosure, lineage and machine-assistance disclosure.
Truth boundary: This WIP lineage-recovery branch locally evaluates repository-owned synthetic fixtures. It does not supply the missing sealed v0.19/v0.20 lineage, external execution, production migration, legal authority, institutional adoption, participant-study evidence, independent certification or deployment.
