# Contention Layer

> When two skills, agents, or independent research tracks produce conflicting verdicts on the same output, reads the conflict as a signal rather than an error and harvests new skill candidates or insight deltas — including a Dual-Track Grounding conflict (open-frontier track vs internally-grounded recall track disagreeing). Routes skills born from contention to fh-meta (meta-layer), the commons plugin (project-agnostic), or field harvest (domain-specific). Triggered by "two skills conflict", "they produce different conclusions", "contention-layer", "contention harvest", "open vs grounded contradiction", "research tracks disagree".
