tegwick def0af2ce7 Rule the six §11 declaration questions, and hold the v0.8 flip on them
access-engine's boundaries review (FLEX-WP-0030, B1 corrected 2026-09-21) and
the custodian's estate-wide sweep put six §11 interpretation questions here.
All six are questions about what §11 means, and gate-house authors §11.

GH-DEC-2026-017 — the layer declaration. INTENT.md governs and a sidecar is a
derived artifact that must agree; a disagreement between the two forms is a
finding in its own right and is reported rather than resolved away. The §3
vocabulary is case-insensitive for comparison and closed, and it has FOUR
tokens: access-engine's validator omits Taxonomy, so railiance-master is
conforming and the validator carries the defect. informed-decision's `surface`
is not a layer; its own file already reasons to Staff. Both off-vocabulary
repositories are outside §4 and §11 does not grade them. A declaration carries
no standard version — and that field is the reference form's, not one
repository's habit. gate-house declares Staff in INTENT.md frontmatter in this
commit; the prose line was never a declaration under the paragraph this
repository wrote.

GH-DEC-2026-018 — access-engine is a source of evidence for the decision
record, against its own interest and as it asked. Custody is never source:
collapse them and §9.6 is incoherent. It owes a declaration, has none, and is
non-conforming on §11 today; the right register is a declared gap with a date.
The class inventory stays access-engine's to publish — §11's prohibition on
inferring class binds a ruling as hard as a runner. Under it, §11 names a §4
property §4 does not carry, which is the finding under the finding, and the
clause is gate-house's own A2 from twelve days ago.

GH-DEC-2026-019 — the v0.8 acceptance flip stays held and these join the
existing hold rather than a follow-on amendment. The round closed by finding
that every substantive finding against v0.8 was a correct rule satisfiable
without doing what it requires; §11 is now that failure pointed at §11.
Bounded by three stated closing conditions. v0.7 stays accepted and in force,
so the hold costs documentation currency and nothing else — stated as the
reason it is affordable, not as an argument that holds are free.

A candidate property is recorded and deliberately not numbered A-18: a
conformance check each repository runs only against its own files cannot
establish an estate property. One instance, and no repository bearing a cost
under it has argued it yet.

Amendments A9–A13 drafted; GH-IN-0003 and GH-WP-0004 carry the round.

§11 layer declarations — amendment set and estate closure

Goal

Land the five §11/§4/§3 amendments that GH-DEC-2026-017 and GH-DEC-2026-018 produce, into the proposed v0.8 cut before the acceptance flip, and close the estate-side items the two rulings create. GH-DEC-2026-019 holds the flip on this workplan and states three closing conditions.

Normative text for A9A13 is drafted at docs/amendments/v0.8-section-11-declaration-amendments.md. That file is the reviewable unit: each amendment carries its own wording, defect statement, and authority, so it can be argued before anything touches the cut.

Why now

access-engine's boundaries review (FLEX-WP-0030) found five §11 defects from outside, after the v0.8 round closed, in the section audit-core was asked to attack and did not return a review on. One of them — A10's — is gate-house's own amendment A2, written twelve days ago and reviewed twice without anyone noticing it named a §4 property §4 does not carry.

v0.7 stays accepted and in force, unpatched. Nothing operational waits on this; the cost of the hold is documentation currency, which is what makes it affordable (GH-DEC-2026-019 §3).

Tasks

T01 — A9: state the §3 vocabulary once, as tokens

Four tokens, closed, case-insensitive comparison, Engine not Engines, role is not layer. Resolves the §3-versus-§4 divergence that makes two faithful runs disagree about eight rows.

id: GH-WP-0004-T01
status: todo
priority: high

T02 — A10: §4 gains an evidence-source marking; §11's check reads the marking

Includes the per-event-class clause and the count repair. Then assess the remaining §4 rows repository by repository — access-engine is marked by GH-DEC-2026-018 §2; the others are asked, not assigned.

id: GH-WP-0004-T02
status: todo
priority: high

T03 — A11: INTENT.md governs, the sidecar is derived, a run states its scope

id: GH-WP-0004-T03
status: todo
priority: high

T04 — A12: a declaration carries no standard version

Includes asking ops-warden to drop standard_version from the reference form rather than each of the seven adopters deciding separately.

id: GH-WP-0004-T04
status: todo
priority: medium

T05 — A13: the access-engine coordinate is pending, not broken

One line in §4. No gate-house ruling required; substance already ruled in the owning repository under FLEX-WP-0020.

id: GH-WP-0004-T05
status: todo
priority: low

T06 — Ask informed-decision whether it should become a §4 catalog row

Asked, not enrolled. Its correction from surface to Staff/pep-shaped is its own and is not a condition of this task.

id: GH-WP-0004-T06
status: todo
priority: medium

T07 — Closing condition 2: audit-core returns its §11 review or declines in writing

A written decline closes it. §14 records not claimed rather than counting silence as assent, and the point is that the record says which.

id: GH-WP-0004-T07
status: wait
priority: high

T08 — Closing condition 3: key-cape, ops-mason, net-kingdom declare or record a dated gap

gate-house's own is discharged (GH-DEC-2026-017 §6, this commit). A declaration or a dated gap satisfies this equally; conformance is not the condition.

id: GH-WP-0004-T08
status: wait
priority: high

T09 — Circulate A9A13 for assent and disposition the returns

Round list: net-kingdom (publisher), access-engine, audit-core, approval-engine, ops-warden, kings-guard, plus informed-decision and railiance-master as the two repositories the vocabulary ruling touches from outside §4.

id: GH-WP-0004-T09
status: progress
priority: high

T10 — net-kingdom assembles the amendments into the v0.8 cut and flips acceptance

Publication and the flip are net-kingdom's and were handed over at v0.8 round close. This task tracks the handoff, not the execution.

id: GH-WP-0004-T10
status: wait
priority: medium

Done when

All five amendments are in the v0.8 cut, the three GH-DEC-2026-019 closing conditions are met, and net-kingdom has flipped v0.8 to accepted.
