-> **Resolution (2026-07-12):** the two operator-math defects are fixed in this PR — an exact metric-orthogonal projection and a reconciled productivity polarity. The third item (raise a `DiscoveryCandidate` into the contemplation loop) is a distinct cross-cutting surface — it touches `teaching/discovery` and the proposal-only / no-self-install discipline — and is split to its own follow-up so each PR is one coherent surface.

 ### Blueprint spec (Super §3.2)
 `S(x) = x − proj_{B_union}(x)`, where `proj_B(x) = (x·B)·B⁻¹` is the **geometric blade contraction**. `|S(x)|²` measures the epistemic frontier; high surprise (`> γ`) raises a `DiscoveryCandidate` in the contemplation loop (self-directed learning).

 - **Reconciled productivity polarity.** `productive` (and `transfer_accepted`) now both mean **productive TRANSFER = low Procrustes ∧ low surprise** (a structural match found AND the query inside the admissible span). This **corrects** §6's earlier "high surprise ∧ low procrustes = productive" phrasing, which conflated *transfer* with *discovery*: HIGH surprise is a **discovery** signal, not a productive transfer, and routes to the (split-out) `DiscoveryCandidate` path.

+### Wiring landed (PR #31 / issue #30) — acceptance
+High surprise routes to a proposal-only `DiscoveryCandidate`:
 - Physics (`dual_operator` / `dual_procrustes_surprise`) sets `discovery_eligible` when `sur_norm > γ` and transfer is not productive (`is_discovery_eligible`; default `γ = 0.35`). **No teaching import** in `core.physics.surprise`.
 - Teaching factory: `candidate_from_surprise_dual` / `emit_surprise_discovery` produce `trigger=high_surprise`, `review_state=unreviewed`, `domain=math`. Opt-in `DiscoveryCandidateSink` emit (same stream contemplation already consumes). **Never** vault/store/self-install.

 Closing a gap = flip its `xfail` in `tests/test_third_door_blueprint_fidelity.py` to a passing behavioral test and delete the matching characterization lock. That is the definition of "done right" here.
