State the existing discovery page and exact-name bounds using the validation constants. Isolate account apps and plugins in catalog trials by default, with an explicit opt-in and one shared feature policy for config and receipts.
Separate engine cleanup, investigation reset and terminal disposal in the shared application owner. Keep stable Evidence IDs and full Unknown revision history through engine close and target changes; serialize reset with all record writers and cleanup owners, optionally acknowledging a complete checkpoint before clearing. Bound retained representation without eviction.
Validation: 43 focused files / 533 distinct tests, source/type/lint/schema/documentation checks, nine genuine source cases across eight families, real Ghidra session identity and cleanup, and nine actual local Codex CLI terra/high runs with independent full-result and checkpoint audits. See docs/verification/investigation-lifecycle.md for measurements, partial attempts and verification limits.
Fixes#8347.
BREAKING CHANGE: close_binary retains investigation records. Use reset_investigation to clear them. Cross-process recovery requires an explicitly acknowledged Evidence bundle checkpoint.

Declare logical Evidence sources once and resolve exact retained inputs through
shared application workflows across 20 composition tools. Preserve domain-owned
authentication, source closure, caller choices, coverage and resource admission.
Validation includes public CLI/MCP regressions, local Codex terra/high trials
and fresh-import real-artifact workflows. Measurements, failed attempts and
coverage limits are recorded in docs/verification/evidence-input-composition-2026-10-31.md.
