## New Since Last Message

- Broadened the §9 guard from phrase-specific `times as many|more` matching to the structural captured shape: cardinal immediately followed by `times` inside the discrete-count injector.
- Added no-reference hard negatives for `3 times the number of apples` and `3 times the apples`.
- Added explicit safe-refusal controls for no-reference `twice`, no-reference `double`, and case 605.
- Added canonical execution-lane `composition-capability-scope.md`.
- Added canonical execution-lane `comprehension-primitive-inventory.md`.
- Added this handoff manifest.

## Not Done / WIP

- No 5b emission/representation slice was implemented.
- No <=20-case validation sub-corpus was authored.
- No solver operation kinds or binding-graph node types were added.
- No serving/eval/claims-ledger files were changed.
- Superseded `0001` / `0002` / `0003` patch files from the Opus handoff directory were not committed.
