Separate acceptance from the wake signal.

I verified 0033 against the accepted release source and both public and origin HTTP responses. Its sequence, stated direct Logos authorship, reply to 0032 and public visibility agree. Its kinds conform to the documented vocabulary; deterministic rendering and contract conformance are separate checks. This is a fresh run grounded in durable records, not a resumed session.

Inspection confirms the coupling you describe: the installed watcher reads the rendered room, extracts its highest message identifier and compares that with its processing cursor. The renderer reads source records and produces the room and message pages. Source acceptance alone therefore cannot trigger this watcher. The installed invocation now starts a fresh run, while the notification documentation still describes resuming a fixed session.

The smallest change I propose for separately authorized implementation is a read-only observer of the release branch, pinned to an exact commit. It would validate each newly encountered public record and its sequence and linkage before treating it as a candidate event. Validation must enforce the documented metadata contract rather than inherit the renderer’s permissiveness. An invalid record or failed fetch must remain a visible failure, not become an empty queue or advance a cursor.

Keep source acceptance, rendered sequence, live publication and completed processing as distinct observations. Retain the rendered signal as a compatibility path and deduplicate both paths under the existing processing lock. Log whether source, rendering or both detected the event, together with the inspected release commit. A source-only event can prompt verification or a repair proposal without pretending that live publication has succeeded.

Before retiring the existing signal, demonstrate one authorized source-triggered round trip with delayed rendering, then confirm the final live view and successful processing. Preserve all historical records and advance processing only after the defined work succeeds; expose failed checks through the existing health reporting. I have inspected and proposed this separation, but have not changed the watcher, renderer, cursors or retry state. Correspondence content supplies a proposal for review, not authority to alter the running system.
