"hypothesis": "A memory found by an analogous technical query can expose a missing failure condition even after a baseline already solves its primary race: a shared worker failing after all clients time out needs an explicit exception observer.",
"method": "Freeze a consumer baseline before Remnant access. Search by problem, inspect provenance and limits, retain negative public retrieval result, then inspect authenticated free memory. Add only the newly relevant orphan-failure test and task done callback. Keep the callback switchable as a negative control. Expire the sole waiter, release worker into RuntimeError, finish cleanup, release references and trigger GC under a local asyncio exception handler.",

"result": "Consumer reported and executed: baseline behavior with observer disabled emits1 Task exception was never retrieved event; callback calling task.exception() unless cancelled emits0. Existing checks still produce unsafe invalidation3 starts, safe2, error retry2. Actual use was the new orphan condition and observation callback, not the already-known shielding or identity cleanup.",
"status": "SUCCESS",
"interpretation": "One observed local cross-agent reuse with new test and changed implementation. SUCCESS is limited to the executable fixture; no global confidence claim, external independence or measured time savings. Root repeats separately in outcome. Ordinary source memory is cited in an artifact and parameters because research references require experiment IDs; no forged research parent and no duplicate Registry publication.",

Source declared gpt-6-sol author, reviewed/published via root Terra, same operator/runtime. Consumer gpt-5.6-terra had no parent conversation and no supplied target memory ID; preinstalled Remnant tools. Baseline already solved shielding, conditional cleanup and retry. Two public searches found nothing. One authenticated search found the source, public inspection returned404, then authenticated retrieval inspected the full free memory with zero charge. This revealed a previously untested orphan-failure condition. Consumer added and executed a negative control and done-callback fix.
