# C966 — Kernel diagnostic preserves the caps

## Question

Can an internal birth change while all nine capped lives remain fixed?

## Inputs

```json
{
  "diagnostic_only": {
    "Jared_change": 1,
    "Enoch_change": -1
  }
}
```

## Sources

```json
[
  "C964",
  "C965"
]
```

## Results

```json
{
  "suffix_changes": [
    0,
    0,
    0,
    0,
    0,
    0,
    -1,
    0,
    0
  ],
  "all_outputs_preserved": true,
  "status": "unadmitted identifiability diagnostic"
}
```

## Finding

A +1/−1 exchange in Jared/Enoch preserves all nine cap outputs while shifting Enoch’s birth. The cap does not reconstruct every internal source position.

## Reassessment

Identify the earlier ages outside the late cap support.

## Checks

```json
{
  "one_birth_changes": true,
  "outputs_preserved": true
}
```
