# Controlling user directions carried into the fifth handoff

This is a concise reconstruction from the visible conversation and saved update files, not a complete verbatim chat transcript.

1. Continue existing490d research; never silently restart completed campaigns. The updated v2 recovery handoff originally controlled duplicate older handoff copies.
2. Keep529=23×23 central, especially6877=13×529 with explicit Creation-to-reflected-event endpoints. Do not replace it with1260 as a new governing research line.
3. Restrict regular Gears throughout the major synthesis to Noah/Shem/Flood. Treat other native-field members as selections, not Gears.
4. The8×529=4232 branch is explicitly admitted. Its4×529=2116 half-width and the1260/3.5-year construction have the C113–C114 phase and interpretive qualifications.
5. Preserve the Moses/Isaac division2706→2346→2166→1446 as360+180+720. Peleg is a prioritized Arphaxad-to-Abram / division-of-nations event; Nahor is secondary.
6. Preserve the proposed Joseph land-purchase year1875, or possibly1874, after the narrative's next-year marker. Do not transfer the Egypt/Canaan land-bondage claim to Israel or force an exact season. Retain the proposed nations/theological connection without hiding the chronology qualification.
7. Capture now; canonize later. Quarantined1876 and1446 primer campaigns remain closed despite use of their source anchors in admitted529 work.
8. Batches were authorized at various sizes; the most recent completed batch is C206–C265. The current request authorizes a comprehensive handoff, not research beyondC265.
9. Publish intermediate report/evidence checkpoints throughout long batches. Final replies should give short highlights and the best next bounded step.
10. The next window must establish actual file access. Older local paths and model/window changes do not establish availability; missing irrelevant historical material need not block a fully supported current bounded step.
