+The next local scoring step broadened metadata-surface autonomy without adding a new hard domain route:

+- if a confirmed metadata surface is unambiguous and only exposes `Document.*`, `Register.*`, or `Catalog.*` objects, the planner can infer the next reviewed lane even when upstream has not yet filled `downstream_route_family`;
+- inferred document surfaces instantiate `document_evidence`;
+- inferred register/movement surfaces instantiate `movement_evidence`;
+- inferred catalog surfaces instantiate `catalog_drilldown`;
+- mixed or ambiguous surfaces still do not guess and continue through clarification / explicit data-need scoring.

 ## Why This Matters
 
 This reduces the pressure to add one hard route per user wording.

 ## Next Step
 
-The next safe step is to validate the inventory exact-runtime bridge with live replay and then continue into broader reviewed scoring.
+The next safe step is to re-run live replay once the 1C side is actively polling the proxy, then continue into broader reviewed scoring.
 
 Recommended order:
 
-1. rerun the inventory canary and a mixed cross-stage canary against live 1C/MCP once the proxy is available;
-2. broaden catalog scoring beyond explicit document/movement lane choice into unfamiliar 1C asks;
-3. grow primitive descriptors only where live replay shows a real evidence gap;
-4. keep phase19, phase21, phase22, value-flow, metadata ambiguity, and inventory-stock canaries as regression gates.
+1. reconnect or restart the 1C toolkit polling side, then rerun the inventory canary against live 1C/MCP;
+2. rerun a mixed cross-stage canary after the inventory canary is semantically clean;
+3. continue broadening catalog scoring into unfamiliar 1C asks where metadata surface and data-need graph can pick reviewed lanes;
+4. grow primitive descriptors only where live replay shows a real evidence gap;
+5. keep phase19, phase21, phase22, value-flow, metadata ambiguity, and inventory-stock canaries as regression gates.
 
 The key rule remains:
