Evidence and limits
Finding: Learned reflection tokens enabled on-demand retrieval and source critique, improving reported quality and factuality over several baselines.
Impact: Watch retrieval gating and evidence critique. Reject self-critique as independent source validation.
Boundary: Training and benchmarks do not test repository custody or correction authority. Next: what external check is required before critique changes durable memory?
Flags: learned critique is not independent validation
Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement
What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
