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.
