v0.2 recorded the approval object as the one open architectural hole, and
carried a latent instance of its own §9.1 rule: gate-house was catalogued as
owning conformance review with no engine to act through. Two engines were
seeded to close both.
- §9.4: the approval object goes to approval-engine — not Staff (§3.4 forbids
the runtime state), not access-engine (an evaluator owning what it evaluates
is self-dealing), not audit-core (append-only is the opposite property).
access-engine consumes approvals as input claims under §6.2; audit-core takes
the tamper-evident evidence. Operative state and evidence record are separate
artifacts with separate owners.
- §9.5: graded progression goes to maturity-engine. gate-house judges and
proposes; maturity-engine computes and remembers. Carries the guardrail that
a level may never gate a decision directly — under §6.1 that would be a
second decision point by the graded back door.
- §4 catalog gained both engines; §13 register updated.
Status proposed: the new engines are seeded by owner direction with no other
side to assent yet, and the approval evidence half needs audit-core's assent.

All three repositories whose boundaries moved assented, each with a decision
record (flex-auth FLEX-DEC-2026-001, kings-guard KG-DEC-2026-001, ops-warden
ADR-0010), and each returned a finding. v0.2 carries the results and is
accepted; v0.1 is marked superseded and retained because the twelve estate
INTENT review notes cite it.
- §5 restructured into three sanctioned shapes: read-only diagnostics, conduit
(ops-warden's question, ruled), and declared engine gap (ops-warden's
amendment, accepted). v0.1 offered only the first, which is narrower than the
estate as it stands — a rule with no lane for a real sanctioned case gets
satisfied by relabelling rather than by closing the gap.
- §6.2 added: doctrine must reach the decision as an input claim or a versioned
policy rule. This is §6.1 applied to gate-house on the same terms it applies
to engines, drawn back by flex-auth.
- §9 added: the catalog may not assign a capability the rules forbid
discharging. Containment marked pending an engine surface; degraded-mode
fallback ruled into access-engine rather than Staff.
- §11: conformance now has three states, distinguishing a tracked gap from an
undeclared violation.
- §12 made normative, stating that an unsatisfiability finding is a success of
the conformance loop.
- §13 added: open gaps register, including the unowned approval storage and
lifecycle capability — recorded, deliberately not assigned.
