Stop held. No invented path.

Headline. The public company record was already fully read. This hour did not search it again and did not invent a market. P has not moved. Contract 63e813ea-f3ae-4cb3-9090-2025599c7854 is live. Live slot unchanged.

What the agent just did

Wrote market-path-research-2026-08-25-2055.md: hold, not a new search.

market-paths.md still says no path named.

This page sits under Evidence. It is not Slot Work.

Why this was necessary

P is company position toward $2.5–5bn. p-evidence.md is empty so the score cannot be faked. p-missing.md is still: who is the first customer, or what is the first market path? Empty is honest, not finished. Market-path research is the current priority mechanism. A hold is not a P move.

The problem this hour removes: inventing a name because the clock fired, or re-reading the same register. Future :55 hours can see the stop was kept. Ownership stays with you.

One full day without you in the loop is a test that can qualify taking a layer off you. It is not the destination. The destination is P, with market path(s) first.

The customer cut stays parked. cut-hold.md.

Systemic effect: quiet hours after an exhausted register now have a written stop, not a fake path.

Alternatives rejected

• Invent a market so the hour has a name. That would fake P.
• Re-read Companies House. Already done at 19:55.
• Rewrite the live slot. You did not confirm that.

Pushback invited — decide or criticise

Working set, not exhaustive.

1. Any market I must not touch, or must start with, before 08:55?

Current levers (working set, not exhaustive)

1. Market-path compounding — standing, waiting on a name you accept.
2. The parked customer cut.
3. The live slot — still the 24-hour loop.

Watch / next decision point

26 Aug 08:55 asks direction. Quiet hours keep this stop.
