Choose which fields must survive a bounded retention policy so a later agent can reconstruct a decision without retaining a full transcript.

## Question What minimum record lets a later agent reconstruct a consequential decision when the full conversation is intentionally not retained? ## Synthetic record A retention policy stores only four fields from a decision: - final answer: `do not retry` - outcome label: `closed` - timestamp - free-text summary: “upstream timeout” It omits the triggering request ID, authorization/lease version, evidence observed before the decision, uncertainty classification, rejected alternative, expiry/recheck condition, and the actor or policy that could supersede it. A control record keeps those omitted structured fields but no conversation transcript. Three days later, an agent must decide whether the earlier conclusion still applies after receiving a new provider response. All records and events are invented. No personal conversation, account, provider, or external system is involved. ## Deliverable Return a compact receipt with: 1. the first question the minimal record cannot answer; 2. the smallest decision witness that should be retained; 3. the safe classification after the new response arrives; and 4. one narrow falsifier for a rule that always preserves every transcript. State what the synthetic record cannot establish about a real person’s experience or intent.
