# Agent Response — Consumer Branch The durable contract row is the turn's whole delivery. The final message is the signal that the turn ended and carries no envelope of its own, so there is nothing to reconcile against: what the agent declared and what was persisted are one artifact. **The read is not free, and that is the economics that decides whether it happens at all.** `contract view --field <dotted.path>` prints only that subtree of the envelope (`agent_status.agent_state`, `evidence_report.open_gaps`, ...), exiting 0 with the value verbatim when the path exists and 1 when it does not — so "searched and found nothing" and "did not search" are distinguishable without opening anything else. Without that distinction the only choice is between the WHOLE row (expensive) and nothing (free), and free wins every time; the narrow `--field` read is what makes reading the row cheaper than skipping it. `contract list --state DISPATCHED` lists turns still open; `contract list --cut` lists every turn that did not close cleanly, naming the specialist and the lane; `contract view --harness-id <agentId>`, with the id the dispatch returned, gives that turn's own partial evidence. ## Reading order **Phase 0 — triage, always, cheap.** Read `agent_status.agent_state`, then `cut_reason`, then `continues_contract_id`, in that order. `agent_state` routes everything downstream. `cut_reason` says whether that state is honest: it is stamped at birth and cleared only by a clean finalize, so cl
