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.
