Merge decision: ready — a verified recovery now leaves task creation complete, preserves the model's answer, and keeps unrelated failed effects visible.

User outcome

Fix contradictory task-creation reporting for Von task #V#task_agent_86ece61a83e4edd34524f46719fed181. An INVALID_DATA / Unknown task type attempt followed by a verified successful create previously became a partial turn despite successful recovery.

Material changes

execute_adaptive_turn.finish() reconciles attempts before computing terminal status. Its existing projection covered ontology postconditions and task-field updates, but not task creation. Distinct create effect IDs therefore left the rejected attempt incomplete. That triggered _build_effect_outcome_report(), replacing the answer with a generic partial report and embedding the correct answer as a non-authoritative draft; narration also inherited those unreconciled facts. Execution-record aggregation then retained the independent failed effect.

Extend that existing projection to match unchanged failed creation attempts against a later verified record with matching creation arguments. Only an explicitly rejected unknown task type permits correction of the type argument. Assignment/reporting must match canonical fields, including subsequent verified updates on the same task. Preserve original attempt receipts and emit existing recovery metadata, which the terminal-status, narration/report and execution-summary paths already consume. No new prompt, workflow or authority gate is introduced.

Also retain verified no-change successes in partial reports, so idempotent task replay remains visible alongside an unrelated failure.

Evidence

• 25 targeted adaptive-turn tests passed: direct creation, invalid-type recovery, create-then-assign, idempotent replay, partial multi-effect actions (including replay), genuine failure, object/scope/field mismatches, missing verification, possible changes and later reassignment; existing ontology reconciliation and narration tests also pass.
• 70 execution-summary tests passed. The new end-to-end tests additionally feed reconciled invocations into execution aggregation and verify all requested recovered effects are satisfied.
• git diff --check passed.
• Broader adaptive-turn run stopped after 91 passes at an unrelated ontology-authorisation test attempting unauthenticated MongoDB access. No credentials or database configuration were changed.

Ship boundary

Tier 1: stubbed model and bounded handler receipts exercise the actual final-response path. Recovered task results must preserve the successful answer, and unrelated failures must remain failures in both report and narration facts. No live conversation replay is claimed: the assignment has no accessible source-conversation locator.

Matching is deliberately bounded to the same creation arguments, with supported assignment recovery and the diagnosed invalid-type correction; semantic equivalence of rewritten task descriptions is outside this patch. No deployment was requested. The controller owns task-state updates and requester messaging.
