+### reports/CONTRACT.md: only the collector's two counting calls take the bugreport session id
+
+The contract said all of the collector's `wikitool` calls run under `bugreport-<stamp>`. Only
+`instructions verify` and `docs verify` do; `version show`, `doctor` and `budget status` inherit
+the caller's id, as `gates.md` and the script already said. `INSTALL.md`'s troubleshooting entry
+also no longer claims page titles stay out of the whole bundle: they stay out of what the script
+generates, while the trace - included by default - may carry them.
+
+### bug-report instruction: offer WIKI_TRACE=1 for a reproduction
+
+A distributed instance records no trace by default, so the default "trace in" often had nothing to
+include. `instructions/bug-report.md` now offers, when the failure can be reproduced, to repeat the
+failing step in one new shell with `WIKI_TRACE=1` set for that session only - never by changing
+the checkout's telemetry configuration.
