 ## R2 — P2: PromptKit configuration cancellation discards captured evidence
 
+**Complete.** The loader handoff now explicitly distinguishes an unavailable
+inspection from a captured one and retains the latter on cancellation. ConfigScope
+exposes only its sources and findings on failure. Native-evidence, source-report,
+reached-scope validation, cancellation, and separate delivery-failure checks pass,
+as does the independent ckprompt suite with Go 1.27.0.
+
 **Location:** [adapters.go](../../integrations/ckprompt/adapters.go),
 loadPromptKitEngine lines 487–495 and ConfigScope.Acquire lines 276–287.
