T03. §9.6 gives load-bearing and attributive sources different obligations, so
the archive must record which one a source declared rather than infer it from
traffic. evidence_kind and completeness_trade now sit on SenderIdentity, the
AUDIT_CORE_SENDERS schema, and the non-secret scope overlay.

Two asymmetries are deliberate. The default is attributive, because the other
default would have audit-core imply a completeness obligation no source ever
accepted. And the overlay may raise the kind but never lower it — the same
principle that stops an ExternalSecret refresh shrinking user-engine's
tenants: a ConfigMap refresh must not drop a source's atomicity and detection
obligations without anyone deciding to. A load-bearing source may not carry a
completeness trade at all, since §9.6 requires atomicity of it, and
evidence_declaration() reports completeness_claimed: false for both kinds.

T09 (in progress). approval-engine's registration inputs are prepared and
recorded in docs/approval-engine-source-registration.md: scope entry declared
load-bearing, and audit-core-approval-engine-ingress with namespace and pod
label ANDed in one `from` peer — narrower than user-engine's namespace-only
rule, which is left unchanged. The scope entry lands ahead of the credential
because the overlay only applies to senders the Secret already carries, so it
admits nothing until the token exists; a test asserts that rather than
trusting the reading.

Two inputs remain approval-engine's: a confirmed tenant scope, since senders.py
requires a missing tenant restriction be justified per sender and audit-core
cannot justify it on another repo's behalf, and an explicit secret_policy
choice. Applying the manifests is an operator action.

Done 2026-09-06. `evidence_kind` and `completeness_trade` on `SenderIdentity`,
the `AUDIT_CORE_SENDERS` schema, and the non-secret scope overlay. Two
asymmetries are deliberate and asserted:
- **Default is `attributive`.** The other default would have audit-core imply a
completeness obligation no source ever accepted.
- **The overlay may raise the kind, never lower it.** Same principle that stops
an ExternalSecret refresh shrinking `user-engine`'s tenants: a ConfigMap
refresh must not be able to drop a source's atomicity and detection
obligations without anyone deciding to. Downgrading raises.
A load-bearing source may not carry a `completeness_trade` — §9.6 requires
atomicity of it, so recording a trade would store a contradiction as policy.
`evidence_declaration()` states `completeness_claimed: False` for **both**
kinds, because neither licenses the claim that the archive proves an event
occurred. Twelve tests in `tests/test_senders.py`.

**In progress 2026-09-06.** T03 landed, so the registration inputs are now
expressible. Prepared, non-secret, and recorded in
`docs/approval-engine-source-registration.md`:
- Non-secret scope in `deploy/senders-scope.json` and `senders-scope.yaml`,
`evidence_kind: load-bearing`, `may_read: false`, exact source match. Landed
ahead of the credential deliberately: the overlay only applies to a sender
the Secret already carries, so the entry admits nothing until the token
exists. A test asserts that inertness rather than trusting the reading.
- `audit-core-approval-engine-ingress` in `deploy/networkpolicies.yaml`:
namespace **and** pod label in one `from` peer, so both are ANDed. Narrower
than `user-engine`'s namespace-only rule on purpose — a new sender should not
inherit an older rule's breadth. `user-engine`'s policy is unchanged, and a
test asserts it stays that way.
- The four §9.4 classes, retention (no expiry; 30-day `measured` recoverable
window), custody class, and the claim bound.
**Two inputs are owed by `approval-engine`, not by audit-core.** `tenants` is
proposed as `["*"]` and needs confirmation with reasoning or a list —
`senders.py` says a missing tenant restriction must be justified per sender,
and audit-core cannot justify it on another repo's behalf. `secret_policy` is
recommended `redact` (losing a revocation record is worse than storing it with
one field redacted) but should be chosen explicitly rather than inherited.
Applying the manifests is an operator action audit-core does not take
unprompted.
**T02 is not a gate on this.** Asked directly by `glas-harness`: attestation
freshness governs what audit-core may *claim*, not whether it accepts and
durably stores. The append-only trigger and hash chain operate regardless. And
it is not even the relevant control — §9.6 is explicit that the acute risk for
approvals is omission, which tamper evidence does not address at all. T04 does.
A consumer waiting on T02 before trusting approval evidence would be waiting on
the wrong thing.
