# Phase 63 Summary

Status: implemented on `main`

## Goal

Make bounded `L2` consultation persist a durable, reviewable context surface
instead of behaving like a thin lookup.

## What Landed

- `AITPService.consult_l2(...)` now accepts consultation-recording inputs:
  - `topic_slug`
  - `stage`
  - `run_id`
  - `updated_by`
  - `record_consultation`
- `aitp consult-l2` now forwards the same consultation-recording inputs through
  the extracted `cli_l2_graph_handler.py` command family.
- recorded consultations now write real request/result/application/index
  artifacts through `_record_l2_consultation(...)`
- consultation result artifacts now preserve:
  - `traversal_paths`
  - `retrieval_summary`
- consultation request schema now allows `physical_picture`, matching the
  active bounded `L2` family set
- consultation assembly moved into
  `research/knowledge-hub/knowledge_hub/l2_consultation_support.py` so
  `aitp_service.py` stays within the watch budget

## Outcome

Phase `63` is complete.
The next active milestone step is Phase `64`
`human-facing-graph-reports-and-derived-navigation`.
