 ## Stage 4: Capture Complete Prompt Resource Information
 
+**Completed:** Captured prompt resources retain inherited scalar presence and
+materialized message text independently of requirement metadata. Focused
+configuration tests pass, including inherited file content and explicit values.
+
 **Scope:** Prompt presence and resource projection, without changing execution
 or requirement-discovery representations.
