OOM-RL II: Reality Is an Oracle, Not a Debugger Provenance-Constrained Diagnosis in Continually Evolving Agent-Engineered Systems
We examine it in a human-directed, agent-engineered quantitative trading system, using oracle to mean an external source of realized outcomes rather than a complete correctness specification.

Key points
- Reality may establish that an outcome occurred without identifying which evolving procedure produced it or why.
- This distinction matters in production ML systems whose code, configuration, and artifacts change while external feedback accumulates.
- We distinguish frozen instances, pre-specified adaptive procedures, and ad-hoc development; organize archive-relative claim identifiability and an evidence hierarchy; and propose a prospective production-binding protocol.
- An illustrative compatible-history example shows how factual binding can resolve a recommendation's referent without supplying its counterfactual effect.
