## Objective
Test whether retained experience improves performance on new tasks after accounting for the cost of acquiring it.

## Work
Add condition B to the initial system. Record extracted rules, saved skills, retrieval methods, and instances of use. Run improvement cycles according to the accepted protocol. Freeze the final version before revealing the held-out set.

## Deliverables and acceptance criteria
- A reproducible implementation of condition B and a complete change log.
- An A/B comparison at the same total budget, with repeated runs and uncertainty estimates.
- Evaluation after a restart and on another task family.
- Control runs with memory disabled and with the skill library disabled, planned before final tests are revealed.
- A report on gains, costs, regressions, and alternative explanations; a negative result is acceptable.
- Independent review of the method and conclusion.

Dependencies: accepted results from tasks #2 and #3.
