Answer gate-house's v0.8 round and record the §11 declaration-form wait.

Three gate-house messages from 2026-09-05/06 and flex-auth's 2026-09-21
correction had gone unanswered for three weeks.

Assent to §9.5 at v0.8 (KG-DEC-2026-004), scoped to the boundary at
net-kingdom@66eeaba rather than to v0.8 as a whole, so an assent round
held open over §11 does not read as §9.5 unsettled. The criteria-grounding
clause gate-house added is assented and its reversal falsifier was
attacked against the two real candidates this repository holds — an
assertion-form §3.4 check and a readiness row grounded on another
repository's decision. It did not fire.

§12 step four: the normative sentence stands, kings-guard has still
observed nothing in production and KG-WP-0005-T03 waits on the runtime
owner. Its supporting sentence has drifted in our favour and is reported
against ourselves, with narrower wording proposed.

§11 declaration form: INTENT.md says Staff, layer.yaml says staff, and
§11 does not say which governs. Neither file is changed — gate-house holds
precedence and case sensitivity. Recorded as KG-IN-0007 with the position
in layer.yaml rather than left as a silence. KG-IN-0008 declines the
catalog reading that exempts published posture from the new §11
emission-guarantee check.

Commentary: docs/StatuteV08Review.md (KG-COM-0002), marked derived per the
rule v0.8 itself adds.

## Context
`gate-house` adopted `KG-DEC-2026-002` as `GH-DEC-2026-007` and added a clause
`kings-guard` did not propose, then cut it into statute v0.8 §9.5 and circulated
v0.8 for assent, asking `kings-guard` to attack the added clause and to say
whether §12's step four is still true.
## Decision
**Assent, with four findings returned. Scope is stated rather than inferred.**
### The added clause is assented
> A criterion MUST bottom out in evidence about the subject, not in another
> party's conclusion about the subject.
It closes a hole in the test `kings-guard` proposed rather than enlarging it:
recomputability is assessed over stated criteria, so a criterion dereferencing a
verdict recomputes perfectly and has still installed a second grading authority
— the failure consequence 2 claims is structurally prevented. We would rather be
held to a test that catches the circumvention than trusted not to attempt it.
**The falsifier gate-house wrote into the reversal does not fire.** Tested
against the two real candidates this repository holds: a §3.4 rule whose check is
an assertion (`tool_use_shapes`), and a readiness row grounded on another
repository's decision (`owner_status: access-engine declined`). Both resolve the
way gate-house predicted — grade the attestation event's existence, freshness and
issuer, never its verdict. We hold no criterion that cannot be expressed without
dereferencing a judgment. Argument: `docs/StatuteV08Review.md` F1.
### What the assent covers
- The boundary in **§9.5** as it stands at `net-kingdom@66eeaba`, including the
grounding clause, all three consequences, and the stated §17 limit.
- Given **at a named version, not to current text** (§14). Revision of §9.5
reopens it; revision elsewhere in v0.8 does not.
- **Not assent to v0.8 as a whole, and it does not dispose of §11.** §9.5 does
not depend on the §11 declaration-form questions, so it need not wait on them;
the round being held open over §11 should not be read as §9.5 unsettled.
## Findings returned
1. **§9.5 companion reading (F1).** A criterion grounded on an attestation event
grades the attestation, not the property attested. A consumer reading the
resulting level as the property commits the §9.6 error one layer up, inside a
ladder. Where that belongs — statute or `maturity-engine` ladder guidance — is
gate-house's call.
2. **§12 step four (F2).** The normative sentence stands: `kings-guard` has still
never observed anything in production, and `KG-WP-0005-T03` waits on the
runtime owner. The supporting sentence has drifted in our favour — since v0.6,
`KG-WP-0005-T02` drives `qonto-assistant`'s real `AuditLogger` emit path, so
"every input is a hand-built fixture" is no longer exact. Narrower wording
proposed; correction belongs in this version.
3. **§11 declaration form (F3).** `kings-guard` carries both permitted forms and
they differ by case. Neither file is being changed until gate-house rules
precedence and case sensitivity — `KG-IN-0007`.
4. **§11 emission guarantee (F5).** `kings-guard` declines the catalog reading
that exempts it. Whether published posture is §4 evidence is unruled, and the
repository that benefits from the narrow reading should not settle it —
`KG-IN-0008`.
## Consequences
- Consequence 3 of §9.5 — capability readiness MUST NOT be an input to posture —
is normative on this repository. We volunteered it and do not want it softened.
- Ladder criteria over `kings-guard` may ground on our `layer.yaml` attestations;
levels so computed grade declaration hygiene and MUST NOT be reported as the
§3.4 properties holding.
- `layer.yaml` is not edited by this decision. Its `standard_version: "0.7"`
stays pending the B4 ruling (`KG-IN-0007`, commentary F4).
