tegwick 024946e9da Close INFD-IN-0001; design the independent evidence path; track both blockers
Housekeeping the ruling left behind, plus the one piece of blocked work that was
substantially ours to move.

INFD-IN-0001 closed with its resolution recorded, matching approval-engine's
IN-0002 form. It was still open after GH-DEC-2026-012 answered it.

INFD-IN-0003 and docs/evidence-path-design.md take up O-02, which was sitting in
the blueprint as "mechanism unchosen". Read independence and the local
transactional outbox are settled and not in question. The real question is what
travels, and it is sharper for us than for approval-engine because a
presentation record carries the brief and packet material actually shown to a
human. Three candidates with costs; proposal is commitment-only for Stage 1 —
hashes, principal, timestamps, acks, co-referenced approval id — which
discharges limit 3 and removes our ability to alter the record, while leaving us
able to erase the content. That residual is declared alongside the existing
compromised-surface one rather than papered over.

Deliberately not proposing the full binding document unilaterally: it would put
commercial and personal material into the audit fabric under retention and
export entitlements designed for audit events. That is a meaningful change in
what audit-core holds and is its owner's to accept, not ours to assume. The
third option, a separate evidence store, is refused here because that store has
no owner and inventing one routes around the §16 decision against stronger
archival custody.

Cadence declared and its form argued rather than copied: approval-engine's
heartbeat answer suits genuinely low-volume classes, but ours are mixed —
presentations are one per render, while dispositions and stance applications are
low-volume and are the security-relevant ones. Reconciliation per class as
primary, heartbeat for the low-volume classes. Depends on AUDIT-WP-0009 T04/T06;
declared, not claimed operating.

INFD-IN-0002 files the tenant blocker as a tracked record rather than leaving it
in message threads and a blueprint footnote. T07 and T08 now name their blocking
intakes.

INFD-IN-0001 — Layer placement and approver-UI ownership

  Resolved 2026-09-09 as GH-DEC-2026-012 (gate-house@0a1d1d9), within a day of
  filing. All three ruled. R1: PEP-shaped, confirmed as proposed; the ruling
  settles the shape, the layer stays this repository's to declare, so layer.yaml
  is written in its own voice. R2: yes to a presentation claim and no second
  catalog row — PEP and PIP are shapes a repository has — under three limits now
  declared and tested in layer.yaml; limit 2 (never an input to the decision it
  presents for) is load-bearing, since the self-dealing argument was accepted
  because it holds. R3: option (b) as proposed, with the authority rule written
  down — the binding digest is authoritative for what the request is, view_hash
  only for what was shown, neither substitutable, and a disagreement between
  them is a finding against the presenting surface rather than a fact about the
  request. Linkage is co-reference; (c) was refused because nesting reproduces
  the GH-DEC-2026-008 hash cycle. Also directed: build the stance map to v0.8
  obligation 3 rather than migrate later, and inherit GH-DEC-2026-010 as a
  declared open gap. Delivered in layer.yaml, pep-stance.yaml,
  informed_decision/stance.py and tests/test_layer_conformance.py.

  approval-engine names an approvals inbox under Non-Goals, leaving the
  browser-facing approver UI unowned; key-cape KEY-WP-0013-T02 is blocked on a
  client_id and callback URI no component has claimed, and approval-engine
  recorded in docs/keycape-service-registrations.md that they must come from
  that component's owner. informed-decision claims the surface and asks
  gate-house to rule on three things before any code is written: (R1) layer and
  role, proposed PEP-shaped under statute §6.4 and companion §5; (R2) whether a
  presentation attestation makes this a PIP as well, or whether presentation
  evidence must reach consumers only via audit-core, noting §17 has no assigned
  request-claim schema owner; (R3) the relationship between informed-decision's
  view_hash and approval-engine's binding digest, which both claim to
  canonicalize "the binding" but cover different material. R3 is the highest
  risk: shipping both without a stated authority rule leaves the estate with two
  canonicalizations of one act. Proposal is (b) — distinct attestations with the
  binding digest authoritative for replay and view_hash authoritative only for
  what was shown. Full request: docs/gate-house-decision-request-layer-placement.md.
  Blocks INFD-WP-0001 T05 and T07; T03, T04 and T06 proceed regardless.

INFD-IN-0002 — Human access tokens cannot carry tenant:platform

  Raised by key-cape (KEY-WP-0013-T05) while reviewing the approver client
  shape, and it blocks INFD-WP-0001-T07. The tenant claim on a human token
  resolves from the directory user record via effectiveTenant(user); no adapter
  populates domain.User.Tenant, so every human token falls back to the platform
  default tenant:coulomb. The per-client tenant field, which is how the two
  approval service clients carry tenant:platform, is read only on the
  client_credentials path. approval-engine compares tenant by exact string
  equality and pins near-miss spellings as refused, so an approver token issued
  today would be rejected and the failure would surface as a rejected approval
  rather than as a registration defect. Two resolutions: directory-sourced
  (tenant becomes a property of the person and changes everywhere, needs a
  directory attribute and an owner for who is a platform-zone human), or
  registration-bound and fail-closed (symmetric with the service registrations
  and with decision 5ed3fb35, but writes a cross-tenant capability into the
  issuer). informed-decision prefers registration-bound: under it the tenant is
  a property of the surface and its registration, which is exactly what the
  pre-sign binding slice commits, whereas directory-sourced makes tenant
  describe the person, which is closer to awareness than to binding. key-cape
  leans the same way but will not implement either unilaterally. Not this
  repository's to decide alone; routed to key-cape, approval-engine and
  gate-house. If registration-bound is chosen, the condition that it holds only
  because registrations are static and deployment-owned should be written into
  the contract rather than left as reasoning in a message. Blocks T07; the
  client_id and callback URI will not be published until it is resolved, since
  registering a client that fails closed at first use is the failure key-cape
  flagged.

INFD-IN-0003 — The independent evidence path: what travels to audit-core

  GH-DEC-2026-012 limit L3 requires the evidence copy to reach audit-core
  independently of informed-decision, because here the actor being audited and
  the evidence source are the same component. Read independence and a local
  transactional outbox are settled and not in question. The open question is
  what travels, and it is sharper here than for approval-engine because a
  presentation record contains the brief and packet material actually shown to a
  human, which is frequently commercially or personally sensitive. Three
  candidates with costs are in docs/evidence-path-design.md: (a) commitment only
  — hashes, principal, timestamps, acks, co-referenced approval id — which
  discharges limit 3 and removes our ability to alter the record but not to
  erase the content; (b) the full binding document, which survives our
  compromise but puts commercial and personal material into the audit fabric
  under retention and export entitlements designed for audit events, a
  meaningful change in what audit-core holds and its owner's to accept or
  refuse; (c) a split with a separate evidence store, refused here because that
  store has no owner and inventing one routes around the §16 decision against
  stronger archival custody. informed-decision proposes (a) for Stage 1 with the
  erasure residual declared alongside the existing compromised-surface residual,
  and asks whether the content question is audit-core's as custodian or
  gate-house's as doctrine. Also requests a sender registration and asks whether
  reconciliation plus a heartbeat for low-volume classes is the right cadence
  form for a mixed-volume source — presentations are high-volume, dispositions
  and stance applications are low-volume and are the security-relevant ones.
  Cadence depends on AUDIT-WP-0009 T04/T06 and is declared, not claimed
  operating. The registration tenant is coupled to INFD-IN-0002. Blocks
  INFD-WP-0001-T08.
