Separate engine cleanup, investigation reset and terminal disposal in the shared application owner. Keep stable Evidence IDs and full Unknown revision history through engine close and target changes; serialize reset with all record writers and cleanup owners, optionally acknowledging a complete checkpoint before clearing. Bound retained representation without eviction.
Validation: 43 focused files / 533 distinct tests, source/type/lint/schema/documentation checks, nine genuine source cases across eight families, real Ghidra session identity and cleanup, and nine actual local Codex CLI terra/high runs with independent full-result and checkpoint audits. See docs/verification/investigation-lifecycle.md for measurements, partial attempts and verification limits.
Fixes#8347.
BREAKING CHANGE: close_binary retains investigation records. Use reset_investigation to clear them. Cross-process recovery requires an explicitly acknowledged Evidence bundle checkpoint.

* feat(artifacts): compare artifacts by Evidence reference and from the CLI
compare_artifacts made agents send back the complete inventory Evidence
that REA already retains, and the CLI had no artifact comparison.
Each side of compare_artifacts now takes exactly one of: complete inline
Evidence (unchanged), {kind: "retained-evidence", evidence_id}, or
{kind: "evidence-file", path, evidence_id?}. The two references are the
sources inspect_analysis_view accepts; both tools now compose one
definition in evidenceReference.ts. A summary still resolves to its exact
retained parent, and every source form gives the same comparison Evidence.
An unresolvable retained reference is refused with a typed missing
reference error.
The application layer owns source resolution and the comparison Evidence,
so MCP and the new `rea compare-artifacts` command share one workflow.
readEvidenceFileSource reports bundle-selection refusals at the caller's
own field path.
* refactor(artifacts): resolve compare_artifacts sides like compare_functions
compare_functions, compare_wasm_interfaces and the JavaScript application
comparisons name each side with evidenceInputSchema and resolve it with
resolvePairedEvidenceRequest. compare_artifacts reached the same result
for inline and retained sides through its own dispatch.
evidenceSourceInputSchema now extends evidenceInputSchema with the
Evidence-file reference, and resolvePairedEvidenceSources sends inline and
retained sides to the same resolveEvidenceInput and file sides to the
shared Evidence file reader. compare_artifacts uses both, so the forms it
shares with compare_functions are parsed and resolved by one owner. The
advertised input schema is unchanged.
* docs(cli): point rea compare to compare-artifacts for inventory contents
rea compare (compare_bundles) compares records by Evidence identity and
explicit pairs and never reads artifact contents, so two build
inventories stay unresolved there. Its help and the CLI guide now name
compare-artifacts for that comparison.
* fix(artifacts): resolve summary parents within Evidence source bundles
* perf(evidence): reuse file-owned immutable authentication proofs
* test(evidence): inject failures at both authentication boundaries

Use canonical owners for literal matches, tool families, MCP schema presentation and IDA protocol selection; remove unused web-bundle reexports. Remove the duplicate CLI command name and keep the canonical compare workflow.
BREAKING CHANGE: rea compare-bundles has been removed. Use rea compare instead. The MCP compare_bundles tool is unchanged.
