Two-round workshop producing D-041 (Knowledge Graph Data Model): - Round 1: independent analyses from Dudley, Gestalt, SI, Tyre, Paula - Round 2: synthesis resolving debates + Gestalt mechanics validation Key decisions: - 4-level confidence hierarchy (Suspects < KnowsOf < KnowsDetails < Direct) - BTreeMap for deterministic iteration (D-010 principle 4) - Per-entity Component model, not centralized Resource - StableEntityId + EntityRegistry for save/load stability (partial Q-019) - Sprint 2 stub: structs + direct observation + basic decay (~6.5 dev-days) Resolved Q-016 (knowledge hierarchy), raised Q-024/Q-025/Q-026. Created tickets #361-#368 under epic #351, reconciled #49 children. Updated sprint 2 briefings, agent briefings, and decision files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
