The method block bound into every chat turn quoted most of SKILL.md (benchmark
scores, CLI flags, oracle queues, file paths) plus the shared method, whose
output contract asks for JSON verdicts, A/B/C/D confidence, audit tables, raw
data and web verification - the opposite of the chat shape. Chat now quotes
only the truth-boundary sections and adds CHAT_METHOD_BOUNDARIES for the
limits from the dropped sections it still has to keep. SKILL.md and the shared
method file are unchanged for reports and skill_read.
Natal system prompt 55,242 -> 26,591 characters. DeepSeek A/B on public
golden charts (flash 10 questions): input 24,560 -> 14,025 tokens, 37.8 ->
30.3 s, no regression in automatic checks or reading; a high-rigor request
still says plainly that no external check was done. Full suite 4970 / fail
24, identical to b8385adb; build keeps / Static.
