Two newly archived sources cover a UK staff–student perceptions study and U.S. advising controls. Neither demonstrates learning, retention or savings. The September 10 paper analyzes older survey data; Virginia Tech guidance is explicit February backfill. No cross-source patterns are asserted. Trial access failures and unresolved reporting inconsistencies limit outcome coverage; durable learning, disability-specific effects, advising impact and total cost remain gaps.

Three new archive sources cover a U.S. course-outreach RCT, German assistant usage and conceptual limits on educational-agent authority. Grade-threshold gains have weaker adjusted evidence; adoption is not learning and proposed safeguards remain unvalidated. All are explicit backfill, not September 12 releases. No patterns are asserted. Durable learning, current advising impact, disability-specific outcomes and total cost remain gaps.

Three new archive sources cover a U.S. course-chatbot null trial, selective student AI use in Australia and Irish teaching-and-learning controls. None establishes durable learning, retention or savings. The September 9 survey is recent evidence; the trial and framework are explicit backfill. One pattern separates the educational case for learner memory from data-control approval. Advising impact, disability-specific outcomes and total cost remain gaps.

Two newly archived sources examine programming-tutor feedback and learner judgment. A Berkeley deployment comparison finds mixed correct application despite stronger feedback uptake; a recent critical review provides unvalidated diagnostic questions, not causal evidence of harm. Both are explicit evidence backfill, not September 10 events. No cross-source patterns are asserted. Access failures limited trial coverage; current advising outcomes, durable learning, disability-specific effects and total cost remain gaps.

Three newly archived sources cover mentored AI capstones, delayed independent learning and student access. UCF's September 9 implementation account is promotional and has no measured educational outcomes; a 2025 retention study reports task-specific mixed results with reporting limitations; a UK survey supplies access and support constraints, not AI effectiveness. The two older sources are explicit evidence backfill. No cross-source patterns are asserted. Current advising impact, AI-specific disability benefits, broad durable-learning gains and total cost remain gaps.

Three newly archived sources distinguish useful course assistance, self-reported academic functioning and evidence mapping from demonstrated learning. A U.S. engineering deployment and Chinese panel offer bounded implementation insights; a September review has material appraisal and reporting limits. One cross-source pattern supports separating service utility from learning outcomes. These are recent evidence and explicit backfill, not new September 8 events. Durable learning, equity, advising impact and total cost remain gaps.

Three new archive resources examine tutor access timing, independent writing performance and consent-based advising notes. Short-term learning evidence is mixed and design-specific; Utah's operational benefits remain unmeasured. One pattern distinguishes when AI becomes available from what reasoning it may perform. Sources are recent or older evidence backfill, not claimed as new September 7 events. Durable retention, disability-specific benefit, measured advising savings and deployment cost remain gaps.

Three newly archived higher-education studies distinguish supported learning from adoption and aggregate grades. The Chile trial supports testing tutor-use guidance; the Pakistani language study contains mixed outcomes and reporting discrepancies; a U.S. public-university preprint cautions against universal grade-inflation claims. Two bounded cross-source patterns are supplied. No durable retention, disability-specific benefit, advising impact or cost saving is established.
