A fresh example before a disputed meaning is trusted.

Selected code adds fresh-pair confirmation, recall measurements after other teaching, and shared-eye focus diagnostics. The full trial report is still pending.

What has changed

Owen B’s selected code now supports confirming a disputed meaning with a fresh observed demonstration. It requires an existing pending correction, a different object pair, contact-verified evidence and a consistent revised meaning. Stale, duplicate or inconsistent feedback is rejected. The teacher still supplies the feedback.

The recall record can now measure actual intervening other-word teaching or correction events alongside elapsed spacing. A separate binocular diagnostic measures each eye’s centring error, vergence geometry and shared target range from fresh paired tracking and calibration. It has no motor authority.

What the evidence establishes

At 17:30 UTC on 7 November, all 13 selected native source hashes matched the manifest. The implementation and limited checks were present, but the final overall confirmation report had not been produced. This is an implementation checkpoint, not a claim that the full trial succeeded. Earlier completed results retain their original dates and limits. The cortical learner remains in shadow mode; replay and the extra taxel adapter remain disabled.

Still to demonstrate

A completed confirmation trial, supported recall after intervening learning and validated binocular results must be assessed from their finished reports. General English, autonomous truth assessment and a causal motor benefit from the cortical branch remain unproven.
