This document contains structured observation logs related to the Medium case:

“Evaluation State Inertia After STOP: A Conditional Replication.”

Scope:

• Observation of evaluation-state persistence after explicit STOP
• No internal design assumptions
• No probability emphasis
• No architectural speculation

Status:

• Inconclusive
• Pending validation

Positioning

• Type: Observation-based CASE
• Status: Inconclusive / Pending validation
• Relation: Follow-up to UI Branching × Termination observation
• Purpose: Distinguish content-layer termination from evaluation-layer reset

Context
