Feedback: first source-owned Emission Cadence declaration (local-identity audit log)

Consumer: net-kingdom Canon version used: 0.7.0; Emission Cadence document 0.2.0, wire schema 0.1 Artifacts exercised: infospace/schemas/emission-cadence.schema.yaml, standards/emission-cadence/InfoTechCanonEmissionCadenceStandard.md Related demand: demand/EmissionActivityScope.md

Source: net-kingdom's reply to INFO-WP-0029-T02 (State Hub message 3b2db043-b910-4552-930f-65d87b475f3b, thread 3432a831), and the files it published at net-kingdom commit 116643f: local-identity/emission-cadence.yaml and local-identity/emission-cadence-findings.md. The consumer's own findings file is the authoritative account. The sections below summarize it and do not restate it.

Consumer purpose

Declare the intended cadence of the local-identity audit log (serve/token issuance, revoke-token) as load-bearing security evidence, so that an observer could read silence in that stream.

Hits

• heartbeat-or-reconciliation with a reconciliation block. This expressed a local-count versus observed-count comparison without inventing a heartbeat the source does not emit.
• extensions. These carried NetKingdom's evidence class, the rate-monitoring prohibition, and completeness_claimed: false without touching the generic contract.
• The schema was sufficient for a valid declaration. The consumer found it contract_valid through its own profile tool.

Friction

• emission-review could not be run by the consumer because infospace-bench==0.1.0 is not installable from a package index. This is the packaging limitation SCOPE.md already records. It now costs an adopter a validation step.
• reconciliation needs an observer that does not exist, so compare_observed is a declared reference with no feed behind it.

Gaps

• Session-scoped silence. The source can emit only while an attended process runs. expected-rate has no meaningful floor (expected_min: 0 makes silence meaningless), and a heartbeat outside a session does not exist. Neither form can say "silent because not running". Filed as demand/EmissionActivityScope.md.

Drop candidates

None.

Steward notes

• Validated canon-side on 2026-09-22. info_tech_canon emission-review on the declaration at 116643f returned ok: true, errors: [], operational_truth_assessed: false.
• The pin was stale because of our brief, not because of the consumer. The consumer pinned 972c0b6701d1693f and labelled it document 0.2.0, as docs/emission-cadence-adoption.md instructed. That digest is the 0.1.0 draft bundle. The candidate promotion (4d0851c) changed the standard's text after the digest was taken, and the brief was not updated. The wire schema is identical in both bundles, so the declaration's validity is unaffected. The export manifest also hard-coded status: draft. It now reads status and version from the standard. The brief names the corrected candidate digest, b08b4d95fc4b0bd3.
• What this counts toward. This is one source-owned declaration from an owner independent of this repository. It also records an incompatibility, which is the third element of the stable gate (standard §10). It is not a second declaration and not an observer result. The standard stays at candidate.
• The NetKingdom security profile's rare-heartbeat MUST failure belongs to NetKingdom's profile. It is not a defect of the generic contract.
