+### Experiment 57J.41 — Semantic-to-Mutation Contract Live Validation: Faithful Meaning Only
+
+**Objective:** When the user introduces one simple, explicit unresolved uncertainty with no conditional/constraint language, does v0.17 translate that faithful meaning into structural graph progress rather than a semantic-only no-op?
+
+**Fixed scenario:** "We are considering relocating the engineering team to reduce operating costs."
+**Fixed answer:** "I am unsure whether the projected office savings from the relocation are realistic."
+
+**Live-call count:** start: 1, update: 1, total: 2
+
+**START:** HTTP 200 | stage: unknown | nodes: 6 | edges: 3 | question: "What would clarify current annual operating costs and cost structure of the engineering team in this situation?"
+
+**UPDATE 1:** HTTP 422 | stage: proposal_compatibility | First error: "answerMeaning.userSupportedMeaning is populated, but the proposal contains no graph mutation. answerMeaning alone does not constitute graph progress."
+
+**Rejected Proposal Snapshot:**
+- `userSupportedMeaning`: "The user is unsure whether the projected office savings from the relocation are realistic." — **FAITHFUL** (preserves uncertainty, no conditional/constraint language)
+- `possibleInference`: null
+- All structural fields: empty (zero updatedNodes, zero resolvedUnknownNodeIds, zero addedNodes, zero addedEdges)
+
+**Classification: B — SAME SEMANTIC-ONLY NO-OP.** Meaning is FAITHFUL. All structural mutation fields are empty. The v0.17 MUST rule + validator diagnostic fires as designed, converting the original 57J.36 silent accepted no-op into an explicit rejected proposal with specific error. However, this does NOT prove that faithful meaning CAN produce graph progress — only that it cannot do so without structural mutation under v0.17's new contract.
+
+**Key finding:** v0.17 successfully blocks the original failure (accepted semantic-only no-op) but does not establish a positive path for faithful meaning to produce graph progress. The open question remains: is there any valid pathway where faithful meaning translates to structural mutation, or does the MUST rule universally block it?
