Owner

Source: strict re-review C-01
Verdict: DISPUTE - by design, closing

Claim as reviewed

The disposable-worker and clear-then-reconstruct strategy systematically rereads unchanged project artifacts, consuming context and tokens where a more sophisticated state layer could avoid reinjecting unchanged material.

At HEAD `f354864` (v3.3.0)

Accurate as a description. cadence-core/workflows/execute.md has every plan in a phase reread the shared set; the README recommends /clear between commands.

Note

This is the architecture, not a defect in it: durable state read back from files is what makes continuity survive a cleared conversation. Reducing repeated ingestion is already an active, separately tracked line of work with its own ledger.

Closed as a finding; the cost work continues on its own track.
