Mendicant bias never got over rampancy. He was killed by offensive bias in 100,000 BCE. Only one small part of him survived the flood's attack on the maginot sphere aboard the dreadnought,after offensive bias split his construct into componant sections for transport, for later examination, critically damaging both his memory and his processing powers. He was offline until the Prophet of fortitude and the vice minister of tranquility activated him over the planet Harvest. He was still rampant the whole time.
Unless you are talking about meta-stability being a stage of Rampancy, which Halopedian apparently classifies it as, then you are oh so very wrong.
No source makes that claim at all, from everything describing Mendicant there was no damage done by separating the various pieces that made him up. All of his pieces survived, at least one was placed on the Ark, and then there is the one on the Dreadnought, so there are at least two pieces of him still around, and all fully functional. Mendicant Bias was made of multiple intelligences, as Halopedian, and Cryptum, puts it, IE something that can be separated, as it is made up of more than one piece that makes up the whole. And the two pieces, the one on the Ark, and the one in Dreadnought, came back together again in Halo 3 when Truth came to the Ark.
He was not activated over Harvest at all, High Charity never went anywhere near there, as far as we know. And you also seem to be mistaken in your belief that Mendicant was offline from when he was placed in the Dreadnought to when Truth, Regret, and Mercy were spoken to by him. He had spoken before to the Covenant, he used to be what they used to get the blessing for the High Prophets. What it was in Contact Harvest was that he had been silent for years, he was still online and in complete control of the Dreadnought, he just did not speak to anyone.
And at some point between being fragmented by Offensive Bias and Contact Harvest he became Metastable, which means he is essentially on the same level as a human.
