Caught by Drew: the tool was committed and nothing called it — not the harvest prompt, not the
memory, not SETUP.md. A tool nobody invokes is the same defect this session keeps finding in the
CARDS (§193-A, §194-E, §196: the answer was already computed and nothing carried it), wearing
tooling clothes.
Now: step 0 of the harvest reader prompt runs it; docs/SETUP.md carries a row with the measured
threshold rationale (R21); the wave-closing memory names it in step 6. All three restate the same
caveat because it is the part that gets forgotten — a candidate is a STARTING POINT, and an empty
candidate list is NOT evidence of novelty, since dumb term overlap misses paraphrase entirely.
