# Phase 62 Summary

Status: implemented on `main`

## Goal

Strengthen graph traversal and relation-aware retrieval on top of the seeded
MVP `L2` memory surface.

## What Landed

- `consult_canonical_l2(...)` now exposes bounded traversal metadata instead of
  only flat neighbor expansion
- retrieval profiles now declare bounded traversal settings:
  - `max_traversal_depth`
  - `max_expanded_hits`
- consult payload now includes:
  - `traversal_paths`
  - `traversal_summary`
  - per-hit `traversal_depth`, `path_relations`, and `path_node_ids`
- the `l1` retrieval path can now surface a real two-hop route across the
  seeded graph, not just one-hop neighbors

## Outcome

Phase `62` is complete.
The next active milestone step is Phase `63`
`consultation-context-and-artifact-maturity`.
