* fix(mcp): guide retained evidence input recovery
* style(mcp): format catalog and server types
* test(mcp): verify HTTP capacity recovery guidance
* test(mcp): model catalog recorder imports in cleanup fixtures
record-mcp-catalog.mjs loads tool contracts and the Evidence-input
contract before it registers cleanup owners. The cleanup fixture still
sentineled only the previous imports, so those loads failed before any
owner wrote cleanup.jsonl. Track the script's read() calls and replace
the new modules with the empty contract list this fault injection uses.

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.
Fixes#8293.
Fixes#8281.

* feat(artifacts): compare artifacts by Evidence reference and from the CLI
compare_artifacts made agents send back the complete inventory Evidence
that REA already retains, and the CLI had no artifact comparison.
Each side of compare_artifacts now takes exactly one of: complete inline
Evidence (unchanged), {kind: "retained-evidence", evidence_id}, or
{kind: "evidence-file", path, evidence_id?}. The two references are the
sources inspect_analysis_view accepts; both tools now compose one
definition in evidenceReference.ts. A summary still resolves to its exact
retained parent, and every source form gives the same comparison Evidence.
An unresolvable retained reference is refused with a typed missing
reference error.
The application layer owns source resolution and the comparison Evidence,
so MCP and the new `rea compare-artifacts` command share one workflow.
readEvidenceFileSource reports bundle-selection refusals at the caller's
own field path.
* refactor(artifacts): resolve compare_artifacts sides like compare_functions
compare_functions, compare_wasm_interfaces and the JavaScript application
comparisons name each side with evidenceInputSchema and resolve it with
resolvePairedEvidenceRequest. compare_artifacts reached the same result
for inline and retained sides through its own dispatch.
evidenceSourceInputSchema now extends evidenceInputSchema with the
Evidence-file reference, and resolvePairedEvidenceSources sends inline and
retained sides to the same resolveEvidenceInput and file sides to the
shared Evidence file reader. compare_artifacts uses both, so the forms it
shares with compare_functions are parsed and resolved by one owner. The
advertised input schema is unchanged.
* docs(cli): point rea compare to compare-artifacts for inventory contents
rea compare (compare_bundles) compares records by Evidence identity and
explicit pairs and never reads artifact contents, so two build
inventories stay unresolved there. Its help and the CLI guide now name
compare-artifacts for that comparison.
* fix(artifacts): resolve summary parents within Evidence source bundles
* perf(evidence): reuse file-owned immutable authentication proofs
* test(evidence): inject failures at both authentication boundaries
