Why: I2 layering - between rules and the L2 classifier there is now
a deterministic host-scored semantic layer (rules then semantic then
model), and fallback can be rescued by a validated command
generator instead of going straight to the default channel.
Evidence: go vet clean; full suite ok, including ten new tests
(rerank resolve/below-threshold/tie/error-then-L2, generator
valid/invalid/error, catalog top-k).
Impact: IntentSpec gains Examples; Options gains Semantic (with
threshold), Generator; ambiguous candidates rerank through host
scores before L2; fallback validates generated commands
(action/slots/kind fail-closed) and synthesizes Top with slots;
generated commands are no longer overwritten by deriveCommands;
CatalogTopK by priority.

Why: I1 WP2 - one explicit action field outranks the four legacy
action keys (Handler, metadata.blueprint, command-id, workflow
IntentID) so hosts migrate to a single derivation path.
Evidence: go vet clean; go test ./... all ok, including declared
action winning the Start command and kind/id validation rejections.
Impact: IntentSpec gains Action (command/workflow/blueprint/handler);
Candidate carries it through; actionOf prefers it, then blueprint,
then Handler, then auto. Legacy keys keep working.

Why: I1 increment one - recognition output becomes a command list
for the host router, same-score ties resolve by priority (I5), and
CJK substring false positives get an opt-in boundary mode (I3).
Evidence: go vet clean; go test ./... all ok, including new command
(6), boundary (3), and tie-break tests; intentctl lint smoke run
shows boundary hints on short unbounded terms. Existing classifier
and ambiguity fixtures repointed to an equal-priority pair; the
greet corpus case now expects the I5 tie-break outcome.
Impact: Result gains Commands; recognizer derives them at one point
(guard/fallback stay empty); MatchSpec gains Boundary (default off,
legacy behavior unchanged); lint gains boundary hints. Top/Branch
stay for compatibility.

Why: fullwidth text missed case-folded terms, SpecByID shared maps, the catalog prompt printed handlers and private metadata, overlapping slots kept both values, and negation was easy to mistake for semantics.
Evidence: GOWORK=off go vet ./... && go test -count=1 -race ./... passed, including TestR2NFKCFoldsFullwidthButNotTraditional, TestR2SpecByIDDeepCopiesMetadata, TestR2CatalogHidesPrivateMetadataAndHandlerInMarkdown, TestR2EvalRulesDocumentsMaxSpecs, TestR2OverlappingSlotsAreAmbiguous, and TestR2NegationIsOnlyExcludesAny.
Impact: NFKC is opt-in and does not convert traditional Chinese; catalog markdown omits handlers and non-allowlisted metadata; overlapping slot spans are invalid.

Why: Refine could swap handlers or emit out-of-range scores, Ambiguous tops skipped slot extraction, and the process-global validator map coupled independent registries.
Evidence: GOWORK=off go vet ./... && go test -count=1 ./... && go test -race ./... passed, including TestRecognizeClassifierRejectsBadRefinement, TestRecognizeClassifierRebuildsTamperedHandler, TestRecognizeClassifierRefinedTopGetsSlots, and TestScopedSlotValidatorsDoNotInterfere. error-code-system and logging-system advanced to a3ee67b and 49b5d8b (docs-only).
Impact: illegal Refine results stay Ambiguous; a resolved Top is slotted; Options.SlotValidators wins over the deprecated global table.
