# Phase 181.2 Summary: Fresh Consultation-Followup Selection Replay Proof

**Status:** Done
**Date:** 2026-04-14
**Axis:** Axis 4 (human evidence) + Axis 3 (data recording)

## What was done

Phase `181.2` closed `v2.7` with one replayable fresh-topic packet for
consultation-followup selection closure.

### Fixes landed

- added `run_consultation_followup_selection_acceptance.py`
- retained one isolated fresh-topic replay packet proving the fourth bounded
  continue step executes consultation-followup and advances onto the selected
  staged candidate
- re-ran the `v2.4`/`v2.5`/`v2.6` acceptance chain alongside the new replay

## Acceptance criteria

- [x] one replayable fresh-topic packet proves consultation-followup selection
      closure
- [x] the prior staged-L2 follow-through, reentry, and advancement proofs still
      pass

## Evidence

| Artifact | Location | Purpose |
|----------|----------|---------|
| `pytest-consultation-followup-selection.txt` | `phases/181.2-fresh-consultation-followup-selection-replay-proof/evidence/` | runtime-script regression receipt for the new isolated replay |
| `receipt.md` | `phases/181.2-fresh-consultation-followup-selection-replay-proof/evidence/` | human-readable replay summary |

## What this phase proved

1. The same fresh topic can now execute consultation-followup, write a durable
   selection artifact, and advance `next` / `status` onto the selected staged
   candidate.
2. The earlier staged-L2 baseline milestones remain mechanically intact.
