Per review: 'proposal-only' described the Q1-D sink/artifact in two docstrings,
conflating two distinct lanes. A question is an intake request, not a capability
proposal; question_only is its own lane. The analogy to the proposal emitter is
structural (toothless, review-gated, never served), never semantic. Tighten the
sink/artifact docstrings and rename the sink test to *question_only* to match
_QUESTION_STATUS. No behavior change — docstrings + one test name only.
The fourth and final Q1 rung: route the Q1-C rendered question onto the
contemplation bus as the QUESTION_NEEDED tenant (sibling of PROPOSAL_EMITTED),
off-serving. Consumes render_question VERBATIM — Q1-D constructs no prose, so the
Q1-C grounded-rendering wrong=0 guard is never bypassed by a second surface.
- generate/contemplation/findings.py: add Terminal.QUESTION_NEEDED.
- core/epistemic_disclosure/limitation.py: ask_question's home terminal is now
QUESTION_NEEDED, making terminal_for_action total (all six actions map onto
shipped terminals — the consolidation proof is now complete, not 'five of six').
- core/epistemic_questions/delivery.py: DeliveredQuestion (proposal-only artifact,
cannot wrap an unrenderable question / cannot be served / answer_binding reserved
None — illegal states unrepresentable), DeliveryOutcome, deliver_ask, the
teaching/questions sink emitter, and AnswerBinding (reserved for Q2).
Rulings honored:
- D1: off-serving only — no served surface, no ask_serving_enabled, no chat wiring.
- D2: an unrenderable ASK falls back to the family's standing disposition
(PROPOSAL_EMITTED if it still proposes, else NO_PROGRESS) — never a contentless
QUESTION_NEEDED. Enforced twice: in deliver_ask and structurally in __post_init__.
- D3: Q1B_ASK_CARVE_OUT untouched — registry keeps proposal_allowed=True; both
signals coexist off-serving so no operational signal is lost.
- D4: sink under teaching/questions/ (sibling of teaching/proposals/).
- D5: strictly single-slot — multi-slot is unrenderable, takes the D2 fallback.
Tests: 16 delivery tests (happy path verbatim, both D2 fallback branches,
structural guards, idempotent sink, off-serving AST) + updated the two limitation
consolidation tests for the now-total terminal map. smoke 90/0, affected suites
128/0.
