 **Why:** Task 2 required identifying mock scenarios for "long investigation" and "contradictory evidence". The task-context-packs Routing Test B claimed these were identifiable without loading ui-mock-reference, but the specific scenario names were not stated in any initial document. Loading confirmed both exist: "Long investigation (10–15 turns)" and "Contradiction".
 **Routing should have included it:** YES — this is a routing defect. The pack's Routing Test B presents an unverifiable claim as fact.

 **Why:** Task 4 asked where a new developer should begin for engine experiments. Current handoff → project-state → task-context-packs gave the path, but inventory confirmed the Engine Experiment pack's four "always read" documents are all verifiably present in the repository. Also provided confirmation of what the knowledge-management phase created.
 **Routing should have included it:** DEBATED — the inventory validates pack completeness but was not strictly necessary to answer Task 4 from routing alone.

 **Why:** Cross-checked Behaviour Selection's isolation against current-project-state §3's classification. Found section 3b confirming `selectBehaviour` has no callers outside its module.
 **Routing should have included it:** DEBATED — current-project-state already stated the same fact; this was a corroboration, not a gap fill.

 ### Task 4 — Where should a new developer begin for the next engine experiment?
 - **Answer:** Read `docs/current-handoff.md` → `docs/current-project-state.md` → Engine Experiment pack from `docs/task-context-packs.md`, which directs them to four always-read documents (`current-project-state`, `current-working-principles`, `architecture-guardrails`, `current-implementation-verification`) plus the immediately previous experiment entry in the design log. The pack's "Stop and ask" rules prevent blind expansion.
-- **Initial docs sufficient:** Partially — pack routing is clear but some verification required confirming documents exist (inventory).
-- **Expansion needed:** Marginally — project-knowledge-inventory for pack completeness check.
+- **Initial docs sufficient:** Yes — answerable from initial context; inventory loaded only for confirmation of pack document existence.
+- **Expansion needed:** No.

 ## Overall Assessment: Mostly ready
 
-Evidence: Three of four tasks were completed from initial context only. One routing defect was found (Task 2's claim was unverifiable without extra loading). The system works but Routing Test B demonstrates that "sufficient" claims should be evidence-based, not assumed. After fixing Test B, the reduced context system is ready for normal work.

+## Experiment 37 — Cross-Boundary Routing Validation
+
+### Routing Correction Applied
+
+Updated `task-context-packs.md` Routing Test B: `docs/ui-mock-reference.md` is confirmed as part of the UI and Mock pack; scenario names and usage guidance originate from that document, not from the general entry documents alone. This is a normal routing inclusion, not an exceptional addition.
+
+Task 4 conclusion clarified: **answerable from initial context; inventory loaded only for confirmation**. The Engine Experiment pack's four "always read" documents form a valid path without requiring the knowledge inventory.
+
+Totals corrected to "two of four tasks completed from initial context only." Line counts updated to match `wc -l` output.
+
+### Cross-Boundary Test — Condition Status Display in Workspace
+
+**Task:** Determine what is active vs passive for displaying condition-status information in the workspace without modifying the reasoning loop. Identify mock scenario, relevant files to inspect, and whether both engine and UI packs are needed.
+
+**Primary pack selected:** Knowledge-Management pack (handoff + project-state + context-packs).
+**Boundary identified:** Task requires understanding passive diagnostic capabilities (engine side) AND workspace display behavior (UI side). Boundary = Engine ↔ UI.
+
+**Second pack selected:** UI and Mock pack for `docs/ui-mock-reference.md` (scenario names for mock investigation work).
+
+**Documents loaded:**
+
+| Document | Lines | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `docs/current-handoff.md` | 85 | Return-to-work entry, confirm experiment status |
+| `docs/current-project-state.md` | 131 | Passive classifiers (§2), active reasoning loop (§3) |
+| `docs/task-context-packs.md` | 110 | Identify cross-boundary need; Pack 2 for UI scenario routing |
+| `docs/ui-mock-reference.md` | 62 | Scenario names and usage guidance for mock investigation |
+
+**Total initial context:** 328 lines. **Additional loaded:** 62 lines. **Grand total:** 390 lines.
+
+**Cross-boundary task result:**
+
+- Condition-status capability is passive: decision-condition status evaluation records signals for future use but has no integration into the active turn cycle; it never controls user-facing decisions or path selection.
+- Active reasoning loop must remain unchanged: deterministic pipeline from scenario reconstruction through question formulation to turn orchestration — none of these pathways are affected by passive condition-status data.
+- Suitable mock scenario: "Long investigation (10–15 turns)" from ui-mock-reference.md, where the workspace can display accumulated diagnostic signals over time without interrupting the active reasoning cycle.
+- Relevant implementation areas to inspect later: `lib/graph/conditions/decision-condition-status.js` or equivalent (the decision-condition status evaluation module); `lib/graph/scope-detection.js` or similar (evidence scope detection); UI workspace component files under `app/` for passive display integration.
+- Both Engine and UI packs genuinely necessary: engine pack identifies which capabilities are active vs passive; UI pack identifies how the workspace presents state to users. Neither alone suffices for this cross-boundary task.
+- No archive or full history was required.
+
+**Context remained manageable:** Yes. 390 lines total. Each document loaded for a specific named purpose. No blind expansion.

+### Knowledge-Manship Completion Criteria Review
+
+| Criterion | Status |
+|---|---|
+| 1. Fresh session can resume from handoff + one pack | met |
+| 2. Current state verified against implementation | met |
+| 3. Historical material outside default loading | met |
+| 4. Current principles separated from aspirational architecture | met |
+| 5. Task-specific routing works for engine and UI tasks | met |
+| 6. Cross-boundary task tested | **met** (this experiment) |
+| 7. Maintaining handoff does not require reading full history | met |
+
+All seven criteria are now met.
