Assumptions are conditions the system relies on that could be false. Each assumption includes detection and mitigation strategies. **Assumption**: Device clocks have bounded drift (< 1ms/second) and do not jump discontinuously during a session. **What breaks if false**: Clock mapping becomes invalid. Canonical timestamps lose meaning. Resampling produces incorrect values. **Detection**: - Monitor clock mapping residuals over time - Detect if drift estimate changes by > 0.1ms/s within a window - Flag sessions where clock jumps are detected **Mitigation**: - Re-estimate clock mapping when drift exceeds threshold - Insert discontinuity marker and start new alignment epoch - Warn downstream consumers

Why this is not always a full paper yet

Corpus pages are public-safe readers for discovered workspace artifacts. They are not automatically final papers. A corpus item becomes a polished paper only after the editable source, evidence checkpoints, references, figures, render path, and release status are attached through the paper schema.
