The loop advances only from demonstrated learning evidence. Engagement may
inform experience quality, but it cannot substitute for truth, reachable
activity completion, assessment validity, or mastery.

The grounded scope precedes generation. Surface regeneration can preserve the
verified skeleton; changed claims, kernels, objectives, or solutions require the
applicable gates again.

[*] --> Wonder
Wonder --> Scoped: concepts prerequisites and learner gap resolved
Scoped --> Grounded: source and kernel authority pinned
Grounded --> Planned: objectives activities solutions and assessment complete
Planned --> Realized: narrative media tutor and explorable generated
Realized --> Gated: seven versioned verdicts produced
Gated --> Compiled: immutable skeleton and regenerable surfaces bundled
Compiled --> Delivered: eligible learner receives supported modalities
Delivered --> Assessed: valid evidence collected
Assessed --> Practicing: retrieval schedule active
Practicing --> Mastered: mastery threshold and retention evidence
Scoped --> Withheld: prerequisite or authority absent
Realized --> Regenerating: surface quality or modality failure
Regenerating --> Realized
Gated --> Rejected: truth pedagogy completeness safety or provenance fails
Delivered --> Retracted: source correction policy or regression
Mastery is not a terminal marketing label; later retrieval can revise the
estimate and reopen practice. Retraction preserves audit history and gives
affected learners a correction path.

V9 composes these layers rather than introducing a second agent loop. Atlas,
Hephaestus, and the consumer experience add product-specific contracts while the
shared layers retain their authority.

The complete journey includes withholding, fallback, correction, and
retraction—not only the ideal generated lesson.
Use the landscape and sequence for lesson tracing, ER/state diagrams for data
and retraction reviews, class/estate models for ownership, and the
journey/timeline for learner and release evidence. Continue to the
