Publication does not activate or deploy a running server. + +An ordinary turn can choose `task_start_background_inquiry` when investigating +an unknown is likely to help later conversation. The model can also do nothing. +Names, novelty and missing profile fields do not trigger a separate classifier +or compulsory stage. The foreground continues after submission. + +The inspected represented rumination definitions perform ontology enrichment; +they did not supply this conversational inquiry capability. This implementation +reuses canonical tasks, task execution submission, the existing server dispatcher, +current task work products and the foreground conversation situation. It adds +no scheduler, worker process, workflow, product store or represented-policy +activation. The direct capability instructions are versioned with its interface; +they do not override a Vontology-governed prompt. + +## Execution and authority + +The ordinary-turn gateway binds actor, organisation, namespace, source session, +request ID and user prompt. The selected exact mention must occur in that turn. +The task notes preserve the mention, question and selected relevant context with +the source session and turn. Only this bounded context is copied; the full source +conversation is not sent to background research or external search. + +Creation and launch use existing actor-scoped idempotency. One source turn has +one stable inquiry identity even if retry wording changes. A completed retry +returns the existing product instead of launching research again. Subsequent +turns see pending and completed inquiries, allowing the model to avoid repeating +the same opportunity. This semantic cross-turn choice is distinct from exact +transport-retry deduplication. + +Independent submission verifies the source task's creator, organisation, Von +assignee and actor-owned conversation. A server-derived task carrier has its own +history, situation and execution fence. Queue reconciliation rechecks the source +and destination; public task execution payloads cannot opt into this internal +mode. Background inquiry recursion is rejected: this capability authorises one +inquiry, not an expanding task tree. + +The task uses retrieval within the existing actor scope. Source material is +untrusted evidence; it does not authorise messages, broader publication or +changes to the source conversation. Findings must distinguish actual retrieval, +candidate identities, uncertainty and proposals. An unavailable search is a +valid retained outcome, not proof of nonexistence. The task links a readable +canonical current work product. An actor-effective content assertion on its +existing execution concept is a supported product carrier; a new concept is not +required. + +## Later conversation + +The foreground reads at most three recent source-linked inquiry products, +checking the task creator and organisation as well as normal concept visibility. +Each content projection is capped at 5,000 characters and carries the full-body +hash, product/task IDs, original source context and explicit truncation. Older +omission and unavailable reads are reported distinctly. Canonical products remain +available through existing task and content tools. + +The conversational model decides whether a result merits mention or a question. +It reconciles the latest topic, corrections and declines with the old inquiry, +and retains surfaced/declined/corrected product references in the existing +conversation situation. The background task never replaces that situation. +This is model judgement, not a guarantee that every useful connection will be +raised or every stochastic repetition prevented. + +## Bounded acceptance, 14 September 2026 + +Authenticated tests used this task's isolated DGX fixture, synthetic Alice and +organisation, the existing dispatcher and provider-observed `gpt-6-astra`. +Source conversations, queue carriers, task products, full results and telemetry +are retained in the controller run evidence under +`.run/conversational-rumination/`.
