 - No persisted investigation exists in the browser session used for Playwright — the Portfolio rendered "No investigations yet." with no card. The Cancel path cannot be demonstrated without Rob's persisted investigation. Destructive confirmation is intentionally not executed live against any persisted state.
 
 **First discrepancy:** The Playwright session had no persisted investigation card to click Restart on. Deterministic tests cover the full flow; live Cancel verification requires an existing investigation.

+### v0.58 — Report generation lifecycle (verified 2026-09-03)
+
+**Objective:** Answer whether a genuine no-report investigation generates exactly one persisted Investigation Report and whether a later visit renders that persisted Report with zero additional overview synthesis calls.
+
+**Deterministic verification:**
+- Targeted Vitest (`tests/ui/investigation-overview-ui.test.jsx`): 10/10 PASS
+- Build: `npm run build` — compiles successfully, zero errors
+
+**Live live verification (Playwright):**
+- Persisted fresh investigation recovered: YES — six Open Questions from the previous session present
+- All six questions parked via empty "Done for now" (no answers invented, no findings, no synthesis)
+- Zero Open Questions milestone reached: "Review current understanding" button visible ✅
+- First Report visit: route navigated to `/investigations/case-1/report` ✅
+  - "Investigation Report" heading: present ✅
+  - "What we understand" heading: present ✅
+  - Substantive report content rendered (non-placeholder) ✅
+  - Exactly **1** POST `/api/cases/overview` during first visit ✅
+- Report completed:
+  - "Situation": present ✅
+  - "What we understand": present with substantive summary ✅
+  - "What remains plausible": PRESENT (empty data — not a defect)
+- Second Report visit (navigate back → return via same "Review current understanding" button):
+  - "Investigation Report" visible: YES ✅
+  - "What we understand" visible: YES ✅
+  - Same substantive report content rendered: YES ✅
+  - Additional POST `/api/cases/overview` requests during second visit: **0** ✅
+  - Total overview requests across both visits: **1** ✅
+
+**Classification: PASS** — genuine no-report investigation generates exactly one persisted Investigation Report; second visit renders the persisted Report with zero additional synthesis calls.
