Implicit Correction Report
Corrections the human gave without deciding to give them,
embedded in topic avoidance, increased editing, shorter prompts,
and task overrides. The absent contradiction is present here
as a pattern change in the behavioral channel.

Mechanism
Compression, confabulation, and uncorrected beliefs share one enabling condition:
nothing pushes back. The memory slot is occupied. The occupant behaves correctly
under retrieval. The provenance is missing but nothing in the architecture checks
provenance unless something contradicts the content. This report instruments
the channel that carries those contradictions when the human does not.
