+# Capability and comparison scope
+
+The experiment has fifteen fact methods behind a shared SDK/CLI owner, exposed
+as eighteen direct MCP tools or four Code Mode tools. The structured IR/call/
+projection/switch facts require the explicitly pinned experimental Kuna patch;
+they are not capabilities added to stock Kuna or integrated REA by registration
+alone. Other providers are not wired to this experimental service.
+
+A fair completed-task comparison first needs sufficient facts on both paths,
+with a common correctness oracle. A complete universal RE interface is not
+established here. The selected-case question requires native row/edge identities,
+so it compares the two atomic adapters; no traditional-provider result for that
+question is invented. Earlier traditional comparisons retain their own questions,
+engine profiles and limitations in [the trial record](trials.md).

+| Which implementation owns an observed message?          | Callable entries/aliases, encoded strings, exact-address xrefs with occurrence identity and function attribution                    | Both recent SQLite tasks select the owner before capture. Name equality alone is insufficient; discovery/unattributed coverage remains explicit.                                                                                                     |
+| Which local condition controls a selected value/call?   | Snapshot-local operations, SSA values, indexed operands, definitions/uses with PHI predecessor edges, recovered CFG edges           | [Four real control-task runs](savepoint-control-study.md) verify the selected guards and machine instructions. [Full graph transport checks](native-graph-transport-study.md) establish producer fidelity, not global machine equivalence.           |
+| What crosses a call boundary?                           | Native call specifications, argument values and separate passing storage; selected callee inputs and bounded definition projections | Earlier pinned [call/boundary trials](trials.md) exercise these relations. Storage matches are candidates, not proof of runtime binding or complete ABI/memory effects; a new exporter hash alone is not a repeated cross-function model trial.      |
+| Which cases map to a recovered edge?                    | Original case identity/label/address, independent native default, flattened case/out-edge relations                                 | [All 182 SQLite original targets](switch-study.md) match independent ELF table bytes. Four real models answer selected cases and distinguish the native default from the machine range guard. No complete case inventory is needed in model context. |
+| What machine bytes support the interpretation?          | Batched loaded-image bytes and selected linear instruction windows, each with source/coverage                                       | The case models independently derive signed relative targets. These windows do not establish runtime execution/alignment, a complete machine CFG, live memory or arbitrary file-offset mappings.                                                     |
+| Can the answer be audited without returning the report? | Snapshot/source identity, selected fields, batch reads, paging and retained raw/decoded Evidence                                    | Real CLI/MCP checks verify source access and capacity fallbacks. Scope/partial/unknown survive composition; a guest-derived answer keeps its own authority.                                                                                          |

+The useful grain so far is an identified object plus a relation with its exact
+qualifiers: an operand needs its slot and PHI binding; a case/out-edge pair needs
+both identities; an address needs its artifact/address space; an optimized
+operation needs its snapshot and representation. One small JSON row is not
+automatically one independently meaningful fact. Machine instructions and
+normalized operations also cannot substitute for each other.
+
+Selection, projection, batching, paging and bounded traversal compose those
+facts. The analysis owner derives/validates relations; Code Mode selects and
+combines them. A query can be fine-grained even when its fresh native capture
+still computes a whole function. Same-lease reuse is measured separately from
+that work and does not establish a cross-session cache or native acceleration.
+
+Memory alias dependencies, full machine-flow recovery, indirect runtime binding,
+feasible paths and nontermination remain unknown. The current evidence does
+not establish provider parity, broad complex-software superiority or a stable
+Code Mode cost advantage. The [wait repeat](client-wait-study.md) shows why fewer
+MCP requests or polls cannot replace correct answers and whole-task costs.
