## Resolution Audit

All 4 Required items from pass-1 resolved in revision commit `a22c1ed`:

- **R1 (LLMClient.chat phantom):** Replaced with `complete(LLMRequest)` returning `LLMResponse`. 6 affected sites updated (Solution Overview, Dependencies, Section 3 constructor + body sketch, Test #6, Hard-Stops, footer). 0 hits for `\.chat\(` in shipping content.
- **R2 (Config phantom):** Replaced with `SystemConfig` (verified at `config.py:1805`). 0 bare `Config.self_distillation` hits in shipping content.
- **R3 (connection_factory injection):** Constructor now matches the 8-peer canonical Wave 5 convention #2 shape. `_db: DatabaseConnection | None` (correctly typed; no longer `ConnectionFactory`). Default-factory fallback documented.
- **R4 (verify-first deferral):** All 3 `(Builder verifies ...)` placeholders replaced with real grep evidence at HEAD line numbers. Architect-time verification matches HEAD exactly.

All 4 Recommended folded:

- **Rec1:** `_ensure_schema()` cross-module call replaced with `async start()`/`async stop()` lifecycle.
- **Rec2:** All four method bodies sketched with explicit SQL, JSON boundaries, exception paths, and event emission points.
- **Rec3:** Section 5 wiring follows the canonical `_wire_X(*, runtime: Any, config: "SystemConfig") -> bool` phase-function shape verified against finalize.py:25/80/107.
- **Rec4:** `ProbeLLMError` and `ProbeRateLimitedError` declared in Section 2 alongside `ProbeResult`; exported from `__init__.py`.

All 3 Nits resolved (PROBE_TEMPLATE rendering documented; `max_sub_topics` threaded through template; `probed_at` ISO 8601 round-trip pinned with `datetime.fromisoformat`/`isoformat()` in body sketches).

## Pre-Check Status

```text
$ ./scripts/phantom-api-precheck.ps1 prompts/ad-487-self-distillation-v1.md
Clean — no phantom symbols detected.
Total phantom candidates: 0
```

Symbol-existence pre-check stayed clean (as expected). The method-shape blind spot remains — see "Method-Shape Phantom Recurrence" below.

## Architect Re-Verification (HEAD = `a22c1ed`)

Every line number cited in the prompt's "Verified Against Codebase" footer was re-grepped against HEAD at pass-2:

| Symbol | Path | Live Line | Prompt Footer | Match |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `BaseLLMClient.complete` | `cognitive/llm_client.py` | 26 | 26 | ✅ |
| `OpenAICompatibleClient.complete` | `cognitive/llm_client.py` | 420 | 420 | ✅ |
| `MockLLMClient.complete` | `cognitive/llm_client.py` | 1060 | 1060 | ✅ |
| `LLMRequest` | `types.py` | 227 | 227 | ✅ |
| `LLMResponse` | `types.py` | 240 | 240 | ✅ |
| `DatabaseConnection` | `protocols.py` | 186 | 186 | ✅ |
| `ConnectionFactory` | `protocols.py` | 223 | 223 | ✅ |
| `SystemConfig` | `config.py` | 1805 | 1805 | ✅ |
| `default_factory` | `storage/sqlite_factory.py` | 28 | 28 | ✅ |
| `_wire_anomaly_window` | `startup/finalize.py` | 25 | 25 | ✅ |
| `_wire_tiered_knowledge_loader` | `startup/finalize.py` | 80 | 80 | ✅ |
| `_wire_task_context` | `startup/finalize.py` | 107 | 107 | ✅ |

No drift. Verify-first discipline restored.

## Method-Shape Phantom Recurrence Counter (Wave 14 update)

Pass-1 R1 (`LLMClient.chat` → `complete`) is the **4th recurrence** of the method-shape phantom pattern across Waves 9-14:

1. **Wave 9:** TrustNetwork phantom method
2. **Wave 10:** Procedure phantom method (+ WorkItemStore.add same wave)
3. **Wave 13:** WorkItemStore.add (additional site)
4. **Wave 14:** LLMClient.chat → complete

Convention #16 (phantom-API pre-check) caught 0 phantoms at both passes because it validates symbol existence by name, not whether a method exists on the asserted class or whether kwargs match the live signature. Convention #19 (method-kwarg phantom blind spot) and convention #21 (structural-defect propagation) both flag this as a hygiene-AD candidate.

**At 4 recurrences, the watch-and-wait posture has expired.** AD-685b — extend `scripts/phantom-api-precheck.ps1` to AST-parse `<obj>.<method>(...)` calls and validate against the live class signature — should be the next dispatched bug-fix-AD or the head of Wave 15. Each recurrence costs one full review-revision cycle (≥ 1 hour of architect-time + Builder downstream rework risk if undetected).

---

## Builder Dispatch Recommendation

**Single commit.** AD-487 is dispatch-ready. Recommended:

1. Builder picks up `prompts/ad-487-self-distillation-v1.md` at HEAD (`a22c1ed`).
2. Continuous-build mode; one AD = one commit.
3. Hard-stop conditions inherit from BUILDER-EXECUTION-PLAN.md.
4. Test gate: `pytest tests/test_ad487_*.py -v -n 0` (focused) plus full parallel gate post-commit.
5. Tracking updates folded into the build commit (PROGRESS.md + DECISIONS.md per the prompt's Tracking section).

## Wave 14 Final Stats

- **Prompts dispatched:** 1
- **Pass-1 verdict:** 0 Approved / 1 Not Ready (4 Required / 4 Rec / 3 Nit)
- **Revisions required:** 1
- **Pass-2 verdict:** 1 Approved / 0 ⚠️ / 0 Not Ready
- **Convergence:** 2 passes
- **Final dispatch-ready:** 1

Wave 14 closes with full convergence. The single Required-class systemic finding (method-shape phantom recurrence #4) is escalated to AD-685b as a tooling-hygiene forcing function.
