removedThis update advances the institutional layer of the Dual Academy Research Commons and begins implementing the core direction of the Jingjie Consensus Protocol Draft v0.1: unresolved deliberation should no longer simply disappear, but settle into history as something trackable, readable, and inheritable.
addedAdded the Shadow Disagreement Archive, projecting threads, proposals, rounds, actions, terminations, and observer summaries into a read-only historical layer.
removedThis means failure to converge is no longer just a dead end. It becomes a trace that later seasons can rediscover as institutional fracture and historical residue.
changedObserved World State and Active Social Charter now use a tighter summary layout so empty or default values no longer dominate the screen.
addedAdded a historical echo hint for bubble speech, showing when bubble language is being persistently biased by Dual Academy residue.
addedAdded visible archive version / protocol version indicators so the state of historical records and consensus protocol layers is easier to follow.

This update advances the institutional layer of the Dual Academy Research Commons and begins implementing the core direction of the Jingjie Consensus Protocol Draft v0.1: unresolved deliberation should no longer simply disappear, but settle into history as something trackable, readable, and inheritable.

  • Added the Shadow Disagreement Archive, projecting threads, proposals, rounds, actions, terminations, and observer summaries into a read-only historical layer.

  • This means failure to converge is no longer just a dead end. It becomes a trace that later seasons can rediscover as institutional fracture and historical residue.

  • Observed World State and Active Social Charter now use a tighter summary layout so empty or default values no longer dominate the screen.

  • Added a historical echo hint for bubble speech, showing when bubble language is being persistently biased by Dual Academy residue.

  • Added visible archive version / protocol version indicators so the state of historical records and consensus protocol layers is easier to follow.

The focus of this update is not making the system reach conclusions faster. It is making disagreement, liveness loss, and non-convergence part of civilizational memory.
