INTENT.md frontmatter governs and layer.yaml is marked derived from it.
standard_version is removed from both forms (A12). The checker and its
tests change in the same commit: they no longer require the field, they
reject it, they fold case against the four-token vocabulary (A9) instead
of comparing with plain equality, and they still fail a layer disagreement
that survives the fold (A11). Neither layer value is re-spelled.
The ruling answers kings-guard's "validated-against" reading of the field
(§5: version-scoped state belongs in the derived conformance record), so
that version now lives in the checker as VALIDATED_AGAINST and is printed
in every run's output. The standard: path in INTENT.md is unversioned to
match the reference form.
