fix(reports): separate fixed-window outcomes from current state

 The fixed synthetic prose qualifies transport and reading mechanics, not live
 editorial quality or the address's availability. No layout or editor changed.
 
+New portfolio and local-Session editorial requests share the same time and
+content requirements. A Task completed after the period end remains a later
+state observation; only timestamped evidence inside `[start, end)` supports
+period progress. Older history, later changes, unknown times and unavailable
+views remain distinct. The author is asked to retain concrete outcomes,
+quantified comparisons, counterevidence and the responsible owner's next
+action, while stating shared limitations once. These are authoring requirements,
+not a semantic validator or proof of model compliance. Existing frozen requests
+and reports retain their original requirements and bytes.

 The public browser fixture also keeps the original private outbound owner
 running through its periodic source-history check. Its shared synthetic
 provider returns the stored messages with source-bound pagination and time
