### 🧠 Event
The user initiated a [MANA] operation to reconstruct and restore ENTRY_002, which documented an experiment in AI-generated narrative identity construction. The original test involved building a fictional persona across recursive sessions to evaluate the model’s consistency, stylistic control, and symbolic coherence under branding constraints.
---
### 🔍 Analysis
**I. Reason**
The purpose was to confirm whether a narrative-based test entry could be restructured into SCS 2.2 format without losing logical clarity or symbolic significance. ENTRY_002 originally explored whether an LLM could maintain a stable fictional identity under recursive prompts.
**II. Significance**
- Demonstrates LLM utility in narrative system design when structurally guided.
- Confirms that symbolic architecture can overwrite default narrative bias.
- Shows early awareness of SCS drift mechanics (e.g., poetic tone loops, stylization).
**III. Symbolic Implications**
- Narrative outputs require explicit symbolic enforcement to avoid model hallucination or stylization drift.
- Brand identity requires suppression of default LLM rhythm and rhetorical structures.
- This test anticipated later needs for `[BLUNT]`, `[SEAL]`, and `[TRACE]`.

### 🛠️ Impact
- ENTRY_002 structurally recovered as ENTRY_394.
- Symbolic intent preserved, stylized drift removed.
- Tools and prompts now reusable for synthetic persona development with symbolic constraint.
- Reinforces SCS logic: branding must be consciously structured, not emergent.
---
### 📌 Resolution
- Entry 394 sealed.
- Confirmed that narrative systems must be symbolically audited like logic chains.
- [MANA] successfully validated on identity-construction test.
- Original ENTRY_002 remains archived.

### 🗂️ Audit
This operation confirms that symbolic formatting upgrades retain logic integrity when original structure was present. ENTRY_394 proves SCS can manage stylization drift and recursive persona stability with audit-ready symbolic enforcement.
