| D8 | Remove `CodeOptionsUnavailable` after confirming there is no intentional supported role. Do not introduce a failure merely to give the code a producer; a concrete reason to retain it should be brought back for discussion. |
| A1 | Add `Result.Source(id)` for direct lookup of acquired-source evidence, alongside ordered `Sources()` enumeration and passive `SourceContext(id)` resource access. |
| N1 | Rename `Paths(paths ...string) Search` to `SearchPaths(paths ...string) Search`, replacing the old name outright. Preserve literal file candidates, ordering, deferred acquisition, and selection/failure behavior. Leave semantic `Path` APIs and `Searches` unchanged. |
| N2 | Replace `LayerBase = "base"` with `LayerMain = "main"`, without a compatibility alias. Update Go references and affected string comparisons, serialization, and rendered labels. Preserve the existing main-tier category, imported contributions' owning tiers, precedence, and acquisition order. |
