This field note documents a single empirical interaction in which an explicit user instruction was misaligned with the observable state of the input. The case is used to examine boundary recognition, admissible reframing, and the legitimacy of non-literal system responses within the C₂ (Contextual Co-Agency) framework. The note distinguishes between forced continuation, stopping, and advisory reframing as valid operational outcomes under shared human–AI responsibility. No generalization is claimed; the document serves as an empirical reference point for boundary behavior in pilot-level human–AI cooperation.
