 | business/tests/instance-settings.test.mjs | T1: the human deletes a creative instance (bean); the file loses the entry. |

+| | T4 (R1): with bean the only name in launch.instances, the human's delete of bean gets the last-listed BusinessError from deletedDocument (:64-66), not the creative code, so it passes protectedRefusal and reaches the later checks. A creative instance can't be in launch.keep, launch.by or the arbiters (business.mjs:208, :181-183, :251-255), so those aren't used. |

 | business/tests/lifecycle-settings.test.mjs | checkDelete with the human passes for a creative instance and with another actor refuses. |
 | | The fire of a creative instance by the human still refuses (fire unchanged). |
-| bus/tests/creative.test.mjs (or instances-verb.test.mjs, wherever the creative fixture lives) | T6: the human's `instances.set op delete` on bean records a lifecycle.delete request. |
+| bus/tests/creative.test.mjs (Q2: its runtime() is a real startBroker with the business writer) | T6: the human's `instances.set op delete` on bean records a lifecycle.delete request. |
 | | Taking it and running the launcher pass commits the delete (the r.by path). |
-| | The chief's tool and the tester are refused, with the tester refused `tester-refused` at the verb. |
+| | The chief is refused `human-required` (broker.mjs:2585) and the tester `tester-refused` (:2595), both at the verb. |
 | | The human's `instances` read has `endProtected: false` for bean; the tester's has `true`. |
 | webui/tests/agents-browser.test.mjs | T7: the human page with bean at `endProtected: false` offers Delete for bean. |
 | | T8: the tester page with the same listing offers no Delete. |
