 ### Classification
 
 **A — DONE-FOR-NOW NAVIGATION VERIFIED**
+
+---
+
+**Umbrella workspace-controls status: CLOSED** — no concrete defect remains.
+
+Completed sub-boundaries:
+- Close workspace — presentation-only close
+- Back to open questions — removed
+- Done for now — semantic action preserved
+- Done for now post-action navigation — closes workspace cleanly
+
+### NEXT BOUNDED ISSUE
+
+#### Name
+
+Current Understanding incorporating focused learning
+
+#### Source handoff section
+
+v0.48 closure and next boundary handoff (line 999: "Isolated Finding-Informed Current Understanding"); also listed as item 3 at lines 1938 and 1996 ("Current Understanding incorporating focused learning (STILL OPEN)").
+
+#### Why this is next
+
+The v0.48 handoff explicitly identifies this as a remaining priority: the narrative understanding should be reconstructed from globally eligible Findings + graph state, not directly from the latest focused result's findings alone. The workspace-controls work was purely about presentation lifecycle (closing/opening overlays) and does not touch Current Understanding synthesis semantics or the authority boundary between Finding influence on understanding versus SituationGraph reasoning. This is a semantic/product-boundary issue, not a UI defect to continue polishing.
+
+#### Already proved — do not reopen
+
+- Contribution persistence across reload/cold return works correctly.
+- Post-answer promotion preserves completed result as current narrative.
+- Workspace controls close cleanly without residue.
+- Follow-up selected-question deduplication verified.
+- Active follow-up presentation simplified (single rendering).
+- Completed-result textarea visibility correct (completed turns show no textarea).
+- Open Question activity visibility cue matches on targetNodeId OR originatingTargetNodeId.
+- Previous Learning single-owner, newest-first presentation confirmed.
+- Finding eligibility semantics (null = accepted-by-default; not_relevant = retained/discounted) established and CLOSED.
+
+#### Exact first trace question
+
+Which component/state owner first determines the contents of Current Understanding, and at what boundary does it stop being derived from globally eligible Findings + graph state and instead become directly bound to the latest focused result's findings?
