Preserve the verbatim direct CLI selection in caller_input_path, separate from canonical subject identity and provider/query parameters. Fresh publication uses the existing immutable metadata import path so provider auto-recording cannot discard request provenance. Replay returns the current selection without rewriting stored Evidence or partitioning the cache by alias. Historical records without the optional field still authenticate.
Use the domain semantic projection for ledger agreement, remove the duplicate projection and subject-only replacement names, and preserve request metadata at same-invocation summary delivery. Later retained-view questions do not inherit that context. Existing one-shot parameters.input_path remains for compatibility.
Validation: 149 focused tests, 28 public CLI/MCP cases, all canonical advertised schemas through the pinned SDK, and nine documentation tests passed across the affected checks. Build, typecheck/lint, and formatting passed. Two Windows-only replay cases were skipped on macOS. Native macOS and managed fixtures were exercised; no Hopper/Ghidra/IDA runtime was started.
Keep the selected running JVM visible when its version is unsupported, while retaining missing-runtime fallback controls. Assert the native snapshot binding and composed workflow Evidence profiles separately, preserving their exact commitments through a rejected snapshot switch.
Join provider class observations only when selected-image identity and exact import bindings establish equivalence. Preserve distinct observations and unsupported coverage.
Refs #5607
Retain native-only dispatch workflows without requiring a deep provider profile. Validate exact target, operation, and current reader bindings during open, import, recording, and export; preserve selected deep bindings and caller limits.
Validated public CLI and stdio MCP save/reopen, exact CLI replay, changed-limit cache partitioning, baseline failure and candidate success on an Apple-clang fixture, snapshot lifecycle regressions, typecheck and lint. No target or deep engine execution. Fixes#5529.
