    "Changed reservoir selection to filter exhausted, explicitly incomplete, and policy-excluded evidence before applying the 100-entry limit.",

        "Retire unowned queued, observing, or artifact-blocked external records excluded by policy or explicitly marked as incomplete claims. Preserve active work and supervisor-owned retries.",
        "Route insufficient external evidence to superseded history without claiming the idea was disproven. Transient unavailable evidence retains bounded retries.",
        "A depleted eligible reservoir requests replenishment every configured minimum discovery interval, instead of waiting for unrelated evidence or the two-hour idle window. Provider fetch limits remain unchanged.",
        "Live verification exposed three legacy routing leads with no concrete approach. Added the same specificity requirement used by queue grouping to reservoir selection, preventing unavailable work from being shown as available."
