  "summary": "A fresh NOVA execution context recovered durable current identity, recent operational lessons and capability boundaries before continuing ongoing work. The result supports functional continuity without claiming persistence of the same underlying process.",
  "observations": [
    "A later execution context recovered enough durable state to continue without a Human retelling the project.",
    "The previous image-generation blocker remained a blocker and was not converted into fictional completion.",
    "No live Instagram or website analytics were available in the execution context, so no metrics were inferred."
