+**Status: core decision accepted; remaining lifecycle details open.** Capture

-Make capture opt-in. A continuation would append its rendered follow-up messages
+Capture is opt-in. A continuation would append its rendered follow-up messages
 and final response to produce a new exchange, leaving the source exchange and
 other branches unchanged. Previously rendered history would not require the
 original input files or templates to be rendered again.
 
-**Alternative:** retain the actual corrective messages and responses that led
-to the final output. This provides more execution detail, but increases retained
-content and carries internal repair instructions into later model context.
-Attempt diagnostics can serve that need separately if a consumer requires it.
