Each attempt records initial state, hypothesis, family, scale and evidence. A canonical signature rejects equivalent repeats except declared independent replication. The persisted search policy starts locally and may widen by one scale after two consecutive verified failures.

Unblocking spiral
Change the intervention or its scale when work stalls.
Repeated attempts can change their wording while repeating the same operation. This controller asks for a different intervention family, an admissible scale or new evidence.

Signed attempts, duplicate refusal and bounded persistent progression are wired into morphology search and its existing transition gate.
Automatic control of an entire mission and comparative evidence that this policy improves outcomes remain open.
After two unmeasured SQL rewrites, another equivalent rewrite is refused. A measured index change remains local; a data-model change needs evidence that local options were exhausted.
Compare local and framework-changing problems at equal budget. Measure valid solutions, cost to first solution and unnecessary expansions.
The search space is discrete, not a literal spiral. The current controller does not use the golden ratio, and a wider search grants no new permission.
