BUG-20 (P3, honesty). getInstructions returns a hardcoded string (mcp-wrapper/…/wrapper.el:448-457) rather than the live instructions. Every MCP client that calls it at boot — the CLI does, every session — orients on text that cannot drift with reality and will silently disagree with the system the moment anything changes.

Done looks like: the route returns live instruction state, or it is renamed/removed so no client mistakes it for live.

Related, same row in our register (separate work): compileCtx returns an untrimmed ~56 KB payload; its activated list was empty before the 07-18 wiring. Re-test after the strengthen soak before touching it.

Filed from our local bug register (docs/BACKLOG.md) so it is pickup-able by anyone with time, not just its author. Unassigned on purpose — claim it if you want it.
