STR.6:4.6 - Return the set with its truthful next use

Return the complete-enough options for the present comparison, the gaps that limit each, and any separately retained possibilities with their reasons and carrying conditions. An exploratory return may instead be the examined material, what it supports and the next problem question; do not invent a complete family when its contribution remains unsettled. State whether the candidates are alternatives or are intended to be examined for joint use. Selection and work commitments follow their own comparison and authority.

Use STR.9 for robustness and option value, STR.10 for commitment consequences, or STR.7 for a proposed inquiry whose worth is unresolved. A missing required right can block one option without blocking the remaining comparison. If no complete alternative can answer the contribution, return the gap or reopen STR.3/STR.5 rather than manufacturing a token rival.

Stop generation when the current set supports the named next decision and further differences would not justify their construction cost. Reopen only for a change that can alter that use.
