+### Pipeline Resolution, Preparation, And Typed Registries
+
+### PIPE-001 — Reject normalized module-reference collisions in the resolver
+
+- **Severity:** Low
+- **Category:** Correctness
+- **Evidence:** `internal/framework/pipeline/profile.go:1239`–`1252` sends every
+  module binding's reference map through `normalizeReferenceMap`. That helper,
+  at lines 1361–1377, trims each key but overwrites
+  `rawByNormalized[trimmedKey]` without checking whether another raw key already
+  produced the same identity. A programmatic binding containing both `slot`
+  and ` slot ` therefore retains whichever raw key is visited last by Go's map
+  iteration, then silently emits only one resolved binding. The later strict
+  reference resolver sees only the collapsed map and cannot diagnose the
+  collision. `internal/core/config/validation.go:256`–`266` correctly rejects
+  this shape for validated file/config flows, but direct `ResolvePipeline`
+  callers do not pass through that owner and there is no focused framework
+  regression case.
+- **Impact:** A programmatically assembled profile can resolve successfully to
+  different external paths or generated selectors across processes from the
+  same ambiguous input. The normal CLI configuration path is protected by
+  upstream validation, which limits current production exposure, but the
+  resolver's own contract is nondeterministic.
+- **Recommendation:** Make binding reference normalization return an error for
+  empty or duplicate trimmed keys before constructing the normalized map, and
+  propagate stage/lane context through `resolveBinding` callers. Avoid relying
+  on the config layer to make the framework resolver deterministic.
+- **Preserve:** Keep whitespace normalization, exact external-versus-generated
+  source validation, sorted resolved bindings, local-over-pipeline precedence,
+  and the config layer's earlier contextual diagnostics.
+- **Validation:** Add focused `ResolvePipeline` cases for whitespace-equivalent
+  chunk, extract, merge, and normalize reference keys, including different
+  source forms, and assert deterministic contextual rejection; run
+  `go test ./internal/framework/pipeline ./internal/core/config`.
+- **Grouping:** Independent.
+
+### PIPE-002 — Clone construction inputs once per builder boundary
+
+- **Severity:** Low
+- **Category:** Efficiency
+- **Evidence:** `Prepare` and `prepareLane` clone binding option maps while
+  forming requests (`internal/framework/pipeline/prepare.go:102`–`104` and
+  202–206), and `prepareValidatorChain` does the same at lines 258–263.
+  Registry/build boundaries then clone the complete request again. Typed
+  extractors, mergers, normalizers, and validators add another clone inside
+  their registered erased-builder adapters
+  (`extractor_registry.go:56`, `merger_registry.go:68`–`74`,
+  `normalizer_registry.go:63`–`69`, and `validator_registry.go:101`–`108`),
+  after `buildErasedModule` or `buildPreparedValidator` already called
+  `cloneBuildRequest` (`prepare.go:272`–`299` and 325–327). Each request clone
+  deep-copies materialized reference content as well as options, so typed
+  builders receive two reference copies and as many as three option copies;
+  untyped stage and validator builders use fewer copies.
+- **Impact:** Every preparation repeats allocation and byte copying for bounded
+  external references and nested options, with the highest cost and a
+  different ownership path specifically for typed lanes and validators. The
+  work is run-construction-time rather than a concurrent operation hot path,
+  so the issue is low severity.
+- **Recommendation:** Designate one private construction invocation as the
+  ownership boundary and clone the complete `BuildRequest` exactly there.
+  Store raw builders or remove the caller-side clone consistently so all stage
+  and validator registry variants follow the same single-copy rule.
+- **Preserve:** Builders must continue to receive independently owned options,
+  reference maps, slot slices, metadata, and content bytes; preparation must
+  retain its own immutable resolved/reference state; nil, key/name, execution
+  class, and exact artifact-type checks must remain contextual errors.
+- **Validation:** Extend construction hooks to mutate nested options and
+  reference bytes for typed and untyped modules/validators, assert no aliasing
+  with resolved or sibling requests, and use allocation/byte-copy observations
+  or a focused benchmark to confirm a single defensive copy; run
+  `go test ./internal/framework/contracts ./internal/framework/pipeline`.
+- **Grouping:** Independent.

+### Pipeline Resolution, Preparation, And Typed Registries
+
+- **Static composition:** `ResolvePipeline` rejects mixed legacy/ordered
+  shapes, empty and duplicate normalized step/lane identities, invalid
+  invocation filtering, unknown modules, missing capabilities, incompatible
+  artifact variants, unsupported lane-level validators, invalid generated
+  selectors, and missing output capabilities before producing a resolved
+  value. Apart from PIPE-001's direct-call collision, selected lanes and steps
+  have stable sorted/order-preserving identities.
+- **Effective policy and identity:** Execution classes come from normalized
+  registry specs. Command override → binding → pipeline LLM-profile precedence
+  applies only to selected LLM-backed modules and validators; deterministic
+  bindings reject explicit profiles. Module and validator option validators
+  receive owned maps before `resolvedPipelineDigest` hashes the complete
+  effective composition. Digest tests cover map canonicalization, validator
+  policy, artifact schema identity, effective profiles, and exclusion of the
+  digest field itself.
+- **Typed registry boundary:** Extractor registrations retain one exact Go type;
+  merger, normalizer, and typed-validator registrations select an exact
+  module/artifact-kind variant; codecs validate complete schema/media identity;
+  and evidence projectors must match the active codec type. Every erased
+  operation checks the implementation or value type and returns an error rather
+  than asserting or panicking. Kind-neutral `Spec` methods are confined to
+  catalog inspection, while behavior-sensitive resolution uses exact variant
+  lookups.
+- **Construction boundary:** `Prepare` validates the resolved shape and needed
+  registries, clones retained bindings, options, validator chains, reference
+  targets, schemas, and bytes, then constructs input, chunker, chunk validators,
+  every ordered typed lane and local validator chain, output, and the optional
+  evidence plan before returning. Implementations and operations remain
+  private; public prepared bindings/lanes are separate clones. Focused tests
+  verify deterministic construction order, late failure before input parsing,
+  nil and identity rejection, generated-selector retention, and independent
+  builder reference inputs. PIPE-002 records only the extra adjacent copies.
+- **Checkpoint supplements:** Preparation collects component-provided semantic
+  fingerprints only after the complete implementation set exists. Scopes
+  include stage, globally unique lane identity, module, and validator position;
+  empty or duplicate values fail preparation, results are sorted, and the
+  accessor returns a defensive copy. Scheduling limits and diagnostics are not
+  included. Resolved composition—including options, reference selectors,
+  effective profiles, retries, and validator order—remains owned by the
+  resolved digest rather than being redundantly restated as component
+  fingerprints.
+- **Registry comparison:** Input, chunker, and output registries consistently
+  normalize keys/specs, reject nil validators/builders, validate options on
+  owned maps, clone stored specs, sort discovery output, and verify constructed
+  identity. Typed stage and validator registries add only the exact-type and
+  artifact-variant mechanics their contracts require. Validator-chain lookup
+  distinguishes absent, default, explicit replacement, and explicit empty
+  chains while returning defensive copies. No dead compatibility path or safe
+  consolidation was found beyond the copy reduction in PIPE-002.
+- **Test ownership:** Contract tests cover clone/serialization boundaries;
+  registry tests cover invalid registration, sorted/defensive discovery,
+  strict options, exact types, schema compatibility, and evidence ownership;
+  resolution tests cover heterogeneous variants and effective identity; and
+  preparation tests own all-before-parse construction and fingerprint
+  collection. The missing module-reference collision case is recorded in
+  PIPE-001 rather than as a separate test-only finding.
