Recovery evidence keeps unknowns visible

The Recovery Covenant now distinguishes a missing or malformed soul reading from a measured zero. A saved moment with no distance uses an available measured snapshot rather than inventing alignment. The edge Court follows the same numeric rule and cannot open a soul-distance moment from absent data. Malformed saved critic findings are refused before human, agent and card projection; they cannot crash the recovery page or masquerade as complete evidence. A valid finding from the retained observations may still be shown without granting release authority. These are behavior and rendering safeguards. Participant export and deletion remain unavailable, the dedicated storage split remains open, and no independent human or provider quality outcome is inferred.
