Phase 5 item 1 asked for the overlap to be sized "by measuring the reader's construction set against the writer's rather than by growing corpora blindly". New lane `evals/construction_inventory` does that: it sweeps the writer's whole parameter space (every RhetoricalMove x IntentTag x predicate x quantifier x tense x aspect, both public entry points, 32292 cells), quotients it by the reader's OWN function-word skeleton, and comprehends each construction under three vocabularies. writer constructions 1739 reader constructions 19 (mint-site AST-guarded) overlap, faithful 6 accepts but MIS-READS 22 refuses 1711 vocabulary-dependent 0 Faithfulness, not acceptance, is the criterion — and that reverses two claims in the plan's §6 RESULT, using a metric that was already on the page: * g_read_rate is 1/293 but **g_args_rate is 0.0**. The one surface that "reads", `all molecules are defined as compounds`, is comprehended as `subset(molecule, defined_as_compound)` — the reader chunked the writer's verb phrase into a class name. It accepted; it did not comprehend. * "one construction wide" was wrong both ways: zero on that corpus, six over the writer's actual output space. A corpus cannot report an inventory's size. Three findings re-order Phase 5 item 1: 1. The reader FABRICATES on 22 constructions — neither reads nor refuses. `every dog is a mammal` -> member(every_dog, mammal); `furthermore, all dogs are mammals` -> asserted(furthermore). Both are ordinary user English, not writer artefacts. Root cause: _RESERVED lacks the function words the writer emits, and _parse_propositional accepts any single token as a fact. 2. It reaches SERVED output. deduction_surface recites `Given: furthermore; p implies q; p.` — a premise the user never stated — and chat/runtime.py realizes declarative turns into the held self, so a fabricated atom is vault-writable. Widening the inventory first would widen the fabrication surface with it. 3. ADR-0265's defect class survives inside ADR-0265's designated owner of clause grammar: the four aspect arms of _inflect_predicate bind `negated` to a wildcard and never read it, so `dog has been defined as mammal` serves both the assertion and the denial (10530/16146 points). Unreachable today — no producer sets aspect — so a loaded gun, not a casualty. It survived because ADR-0265's invariant is structural (is `negated` threaded?) and cannot see an arm that receives the flag and ignores it. A behavioural sweep can. The two fixes are written already, as the mutations that turn the defect pins red. They are NOT applied here: they change what CORE comprehends from user input, which is a serving change on the truth path — authorization-gated, ADR first, on the ADR-0261 §5.1 refuse-don't-drop precedent. Guards, so the tables cannot rot: reader constructions are pinned to an AST count of the reader's 10 mint sites; the declared tense/aspect axes are pinned to _inflect_predicate's match arms; the committed corpus is pinned to the fillers in use. 14 pins, 13 mutations observed RED.
