# Round 3 Summary — Convergence Round

## Result: 100% Convergence

All 6 experts signaled `[MOVE:CONVERGE]`. Zero new tensions. Zero new divergent perspectives. Velocity = 0.

### Final Resolutions

| Expert | Action | Signal |
|--------|--------|--------|
| Croissant | Resolved Strudel R2-T01 (graph assembly = shared library above trait) | [MOVE:CONVERGE] |
| Strudel | Conceded refs table to Cannoli (cleartext items cheaper for mutations) | [MOVE:CONVERGE] |
| Galette | Confirmed machine-verifiable exit gates (greppable + dual-impl CI) | [MOVE:CONVERGE] |
| Tartlet | Confirmed AAD portability in Phase B, deferred hash chain to Phase C | [MOVE:CONVERGE] |
| Cannoli | Confirmed refs disagreement is Phase C detail, both designs equivalent | [MOVE:CONVERGE] |
| Muffin | Confirmed denormalization elimination is correct for both backends | [MOVE:CONVERGE] |

### Last Disagreement Resolved

**Refs table design (Strudel vs Cannoli):**
- Strudel conceded Cannoli's position (separate cleartext ref items avoid re-sealing encrypted payloads on edge mutation)
- Both agreed the choice is a Phase C implementation detail, not an architectural blocker
- Both produce identical behavior under full-partition-load + in-memory assembly

### Muffin's Final Move

The pro-relational architect who started this dialogue arguing for PostgreSQL ended it by confirming that eliminating verdict denormalization "is not a compromise -- it is the correct normalization decision for both backends." This is the clearest signal that the panel has genuinely converged rather than simply fatigued.
