 # Implementation Plan: Sequence Placement and Composition

 Completion: the repository is clean, the feature and its evidence agree, and no
 known in-scope implementation work remains. No product decisions remain open;
 private helper names and equivalent mechanics are ordinary implementation work.

+Completion evidence: final review covered the complete implementation diff from
+baseline `2051177` against the settled behavior and public-contract boundaries.
+It found one malformed-record diagnostic using a contribution-local rather than
+assigned sequence index. The composer now reports the effective assigned item
+path, with a regression for a malformed record in the second contribution at
+`/records/1`. Review also confirmed registered identity checks remain limited to
+strict composition, precedence still replaces complete sequences, both opt-ins
+are explicit, and source ownership, physical locations, contexts, and detached
+evidence remain intact. Final checks passed with Go `go1.26.9 linux/amd64`:
