ValidatedAgainst named the proposed v0.8, which is held under GH-DEC-2026-019,
so every run claimed a check against text that does not govern. It now names
security-layer-model_v0.7.md (net-kingdom@66dc491) as amended by
GH-DEC-2026-017, -020 and -021 (gate-house@39d9287), per 021 §2.
The pin detector converges on ops-warden's reference (021 §3): keys naming a
standard or companion version, versions in path or file-name tokens, and the
021 addition of any version token in a standard:/companion: value. A revision
cited in prose is provenance and is no longer reached (021 §1), including
under standard_*-prefixed keys that name no version. One kept difference: an
empty version key carries no version and is not flagged.
Survey receipt refreshed; no declaration in the estate carries a pin.

internal/layer/conformance.go enforced A12 as "no key named standard_version",
and so could not see the same pin as a versioned standard: path or as
companion_version. It now detects a version of the standard or its companion
in any key or value of the declaration (INTENT.md frontmatter, layer.yaml),
including a version in a path, and excludes comments and schema_version. It
refuses to be applied to pep-stance.yaml, pip-claims.yaml or
evidence-classification.yaml, which A12 r2 does not reach (§3).
Every run of check_layer_conformance and of the estate survey now prints the
standard version it checks against (layer.ValidatedAgainst, kings-guard's
pattern) and its scope (§4). The survey applies the same detection to peers'
declarations; the receipt is refreshed because the survey's output changed
(no peer declaration currently carries a version).
Tests fail if a versioned standard: path or a companion_version comes back.
flex-auth's own INTENT.md needed no change.

tenant-engine named the relation in TEN-DEC-2026-002: `tenant` is the target
tenant record and always equals `resource.id`; the write API is cross-tenant
by design and `tenant.guardrail.read` does not differ. v2 carried no tenant
rule and a constant fixture tenant, so the deliberate scope and an omitted
rule were indistinguishable.
tenant-engine.write-api.mutate v3 (FLEX-DEC-2026-016):
- allowed requires tenant_is_target; a mismatch or absent tenant is denied
tenant_not_target (object.get, so an absent key names the right cause).
- the cross-tenant scope is stated in the package and quantified by
test_tenant_never_changes_effect over every action, three subjects and
four tenants, with guards against passing by denying everything.
- fixtures rotate tenant across four tenants; five cross-tenant allows and
two tenant_not_target denies added (42 fixtures, 33 tests, all pass).
- user-engine's tenant:platform exclusion is named as a fixed-record rule,
not a subject/tenant relation, and tested separately.

GH-DEC-2026-017: the validator admitted {Staff, Engine, Tooling}, built from
section 4's catalog rows, and rejected Taxonomy, which section 3.1 defines.
railiance-master was conforming; the validator was the divergent artifact.
Now four tokens, ASCII case folded, section 4's spelling canonical, INTENT.md
governing while form disagreements are still reported, and every run states
its scope (section 11 binds section 4; volunteers are not non-conformances).
Also fixes the survey silently dropping audit-core's layer.yaml by decoding
peers into flex-auth's own struct.
GH-DEC-2026-018: flex-auth is a section 4 source of evidence. G2 closes as a
question and reopens as a dated gap (review 2026-10-19). cadence.yaml
publishes the per-event-class inventory: deny, redact, not_applicable and
audit_only rare load-bearing (heartbeat and reconciliation, rate forbidden);
allow volume load-bearing (expected-rate and reconciliation). INTENT.md
declares source_of_evidence and names it; tests assert both. Delivery is
FLEX-WP-0031.
FLEX-DEC-2026-015: resource.system follows the runtime, not the repository,
answering ops-warden's WARDEN-IN-0003.

B1 was found with a shell pipeline and published as a finding. The review it
appeared in had already argued that a mechanical check nobody can re-run is an
assertion, and §11's entire claim is mechanical checkability — so asserting B1
unmechanically was that defect committed by the repository reporting it.
tools/survey_layer_declarations.go reads both §11 forms per repository, reports
intra-repository disagreement, and writes a receipt. Run once, it showed the
published B1 was wrong: the estate does not spell layer: three ways across
repositories. The original pipeline took the first ^layer: match per repository
without recording which file it came from, reporting one value where there were
two.
The corrected finding is stronger. Nine of nine repositories carrying both §11
forms declare a different value in each: INTENT.md says Engine/Staff, layer.yaml
says engine/staff. The disagreement is within each repository, between the two
forms §11 permits, and it is universal rather than careless — two generators, two
conventions. Nobody is inconsistent with anybody else.
That relocates the question from casing to precedence: §11 accepts either form
and does not say which governs when both exist and disagree, so a conformance run
reading INTENT.md and one reading layer.yaml reach different answers for nine
repositories while both follow §11. flex-auth is the only declared repository
that cannot exhibit this, and only because it never wrote the second file.
The correction is recorded in the review rather than edited away: a published
review corrected silently is FLEX-DEC-2026-008's defect, and that rule has no
exception for the reviewer.
Four tests cover the disagreement case, the refusal to fold case, a missing
declaration, and the single-form shape that must not read as self-disagreement.
The survey checks only the §3 vocabulary and never applies flex-auth's house
rules to peers.

INTENT.md pinned standard_version: "0.7" in the frontmatter §11 requires. That
conflated two things the standard separates itself: assent "records assent to a
BOUNDARY, given at the version named. It is not assent to the current text."
flex-auth is Engine/PDP at v0.6, v0.7, v0.8 and after; the role does not change
when the text is amended. The field was also decorative — parsed into
Declaration.StandardVersion and never validated — so the version was load-bearing
only via a test asserting it equalled 0.7.
That test is inverted rather than deleted: internal/layer now rejects a version
pin in the declaration and requires conformance_record to name a file that
exists. Version-scoped state moves to docs/conformance/security-layer-conformance.md,
a derived artifact carrying what it derives from and the version derived at, as
§11 requires of derived artifacts.
SCOPE.md: gap assessment replaces "conforming with one declared gap" with three
gaps, each with an owner and a route. G2 is new — flex-auth declares no emission
guarantee where §11 requires one of every §4 source of evidence. It is recorded
as a gap rather than as conformance because the flattering reading, that
audit-core is the source and flex-auth merely produces, has been asserted by
nobody but flex-auth. Also corrects the stance register from two rows to five.
Fixing one line meant reading what the declaration asserts, and a boundary is
only half held here. docs/conformance/boundaries-review.md checks the other
halves across twelve counterparts and finds four security-relevant repositories
with no layer declaration at all — including key-cape, the identity source whose
claims flex-auth consumes as normative input. That boundary is asserted from one
side only. Recorded as unstated, never as agreed.

docs/stance-register-review.md is published, dated 2026-09-06, and titled "the
register has a second row". Three things moved under it: §13.1 now carries five
rows rather than two, v0.8 §6.4 obligation 3 ruled that unknown is not a zone and
must resolve to fail_closed, and two rows are now marked non-conformant.
The review's closing line warned that the cost of two incommensurable axes is
small and the cost of five is not. Five arrived in fourteen days.
The plan supersedes rather than amends: a published review silently rewritten to
match the world is FLEX-DEC-2026-008's defect, and flex-auth does not exempt its
own artifacts from a rule it holds others to.
Recorded accurately rather than flatteringly — the divergence was resolved by
gate-house doctrine in secrets-engine's direction, not by flex-auth's review, and
ops-warden's marked-non-conformant row is right to stay unconverted until
WARDEN-WP-0040 raises zone coverage. Conformance and correctness have come apart
on that cell.
INTENT.md stays at standard_version 0.7: v0.8 is still proposed, and the trigger
for the bump is stated in T04 so it is not "fixed" early.

FLEX-WP-0020-T04: reuse-surface is the first owner to return a live work-record
(REUSE-WP-0023, two tasks, both deliberately in wait). Recorded in the handoff
evidence and verified rather than taken on report — the hub record is active,
access-engine raw returns 404, flex-auth returns 303, so the rename has not
landed and their refusal to pre-rewrite the federation source URL is correct.
That refusal changed the plan rather than only their side: flipping an enabled,
publish-passing source before the rename drops a live capability from the
composed federated index, so the source rewrite is ordered after T06, and
flex-auth owes them a ping when access-engine serves the capabilities index.
Nine owners remain pending; T05 stays blocked.
FLEX-WP-0022-T01: re-asked tenant-engine what CheckRequest.tenant denotes on the
write API, stating that "none" is a complete answer. Their code copies tenant_id
onto both tenant and resource.id, but that is observation, not admission, and
encoding a rule from it would make flex-auth the author of their tenancy model.
