The Librarian explained to Chief that once they saw the horrors the Composers they tried to return them to organics, only to have it be abominations. But how could they try to return that person as an organic after their body is no more?
In Silentium, the Librarian states that the Forerunner prepared new bodies for the Composer’s subjects. But, much like the human equivalent of flash clones, these bodies degenerated at a rapid rate once the composed essences were returned to the bodies - hence what Librarian states resulted in “manifest -Yoink!-”.

Were the new bodies cloned from their old ones, or entirely new bodies, haven’t read Silentium in some time
Its one thing I find kind of odd. I mean, Forthenco seemed to be able to exist inside Chakas as his geas just fine. So why couldn’t you give a geas to effectively a blank slate?
It’s also hard to imagine that forerunners couldn’t properly clone something…
I’m not 100% certain( it’s been a while since I’ve read the forerunner trilogy), but I think it’s implied that because of how the composer digitizes minds in mass, the stored consciousness tends to end up corrupted. Add to that many of the early groups of composed forerunners might of been in the early stages of flood infection. Either way a composed victim re-uploaded back to organic form wouldn’t really be the same person.
Think of it like this. A person is composed; they are for all intensive purposes dead, but an AI is created from their neural imprint. The AIs memories are then copied into a clone body. Not sure if the AI survives the process or is discarded, but over the course of the procedure with all that going on something could easily go sideways.

I thought part of the point of the Composer was that it didn’t kill the people it composed, but rather turned them into AI. Seems like it would lose a lot of its value if it just killed the people it composed.

It never stated anything about whether the new bodies were clones, I’d bet that they weren’t.

Perhaps it is an art that is only perfected by the Precursors.
