# Phase 48 Summary

Status: implemented on `main`

## Goal

Rebuild source fidelity, reading-depth breadcrumbs, degraded-mode signaling,
and the first analytical-validation family on real topic assets.

## What Landed

- source-fidelity and reading-depth signals now surface through runtime paths
- degraded-mode honesty is visible instead of hidden in internal state
- analytical-validation behavior runs on top of real topic assets
- the scRPA thesis acceptance path exercises the rebuilt slice

## Outcome

Phase `48` is complete.
The next archived phase is `49` `l2-growth-retrieval-and-compilation`.
