tegwick 564534dbcb Record GH-DEC-2026-005; strike the spent G3 revisit trigger
Gate House confirmed all three requested dispositions as GH-DEC-2026-005
(GH-IN-0002, closed); flex-auth accepted as FLEX-DEC-2026-006. The
approval-claim is the step-1 artifact, ActionAuthorization is not
required and MUST NOT be served from the claim endpoint, and a PEP
validates across the claim and the step-2 DecisionEnvelope. Gate House
recorded the split as doctrine rather than convenience -- a PIP must not
republish the PDP's decision -- and struck the provenance.authority ==
state-hub requirement explicitly. This engine's claim schema is
unchanged.

Correct the deferred option D trigger list. The G3 trigger was written
conditional on G3 being settled by composition; flex-auth reports
FLEX-WP-0019 closed it by adding a lifetime field to DecisionEnvelope on
2026-09-02, so a decision now states its own end without borrowing
ActionAuthorizationValidity. That was the one structural thing the bundle
did that the split does not, so the trigger is not merely spent -- it
resolved against ratification. Struck with reasons; a future revisit
needs a fresh argument. The trigger came from a stale row in a dated
2026-08-29 review record that flex-auth does not rewrite.

Also record the root cause of the bad authority constant: it came from a
flex-auth fixture, not prose. A contract whose examples contradict its
prose will be implemented as its examples.

Close APPROVAL-IN-0002. Docs only; 84 tests pass.
