The paragraph existed when `consider` failed closed on the action: the turn stalled, so a sentence had to reopen it. #828 moved the limit to the claim — `consider` now fails closed for book-derived claims only, and both bullets above it already carry the behaviour it restated: - unpriced: "refuses only the current-value portfolio consequence; still give supported non-portfolio judgment" - no book: "Continue with supported research and judgment ... do not manufacture portfolio precision" One rule stands where two stood: a portfolio-derived number comes from the engine, and an absent one stays out. Nothing refuses the turn, so nothing needs reopening. Product group: 49/49 pass. No mirrored surface restates the paragraph. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Read-only review: CLEAN. Verified against main@19250bd4 and the installed-tree references/price-feed.md. The removed paragraph's continuation behavior is already stated by the immediately preceding unpriced/no-book bullets, while the non-degradable forward-consequence boundary remains explicitly owned by price-feed.md (consider refuses rather than answering on cost basis, with the inversion consequence documented). This is a true duplicate deletion, not a safety-boundary deletion. CI is green on head eb379c4; no correctness, privacy, persistence, or compatibility finding. GitHub does not allow the repository owner to approve their own PR, so this is recorded as COMMENT rather than APPROVE.

SKILL.mdcarried a paragraph reopening a turn that no longer closes.When
considerfailed closed on the action, an unanswerable portfolio half stalled the whole turn, so "A refusal does not end the turn…" had to exist to reopen it. #828 moved the limit to the claim —considerfails closed for book-derived claims, "Missing inputs narrow claims, not Skill engagement", "An absent portfolio-derived number stays out" — and the two bullets directly above already state the continue-anyway behaviour the paragraph restated.So the patch outlived what it patched. Removing it leaves one rule where there were two: a portfolio-derived number comes from the engine; an absent one stays out.
Observed effect this was measured against: given a premise whose ticker the recorded book did not hold, the skill returned "go reconcile first" and stopped in 2 of 3 test premises — the paragraph was present and read in every one of them. A second sentence asking for the same behaviour is not what closes that gap.
