audit-core assented to the approval evidence half with conditions and
corrected the rationale twice. Both corrections were against wording this
standard had taken from that repository's INTENT rather than its contract.
- §4 catalogues audit-core as an Engine, on its own declaration. v0.3 named it
as an owner in §9.4 and §13 without listing it — a §11 defect in the standard
itself, which audit-core raised.
- §9.4 rationale rewritten to cite docs/integrity.md rather than INTENT
principle 6: an in-database chain detects a rewritten payload only if the
attacker does not recompute the suffix, which a database owner can, and even
with external attestation the store is not WORM or object lock. tamper
evidence is conditional on live preconditions.
- §9.4 gained emission atomicity as approval-engine's obligation, and the
prohibition on audit-core exposing an approval-validity query — a boundary
audit-core stated unprompted, applying §6.1 to itself.
- §9.6 added, estate-wide: evidence proves alteration and truncation, not
omission at source. A suppressed revocation leaves the chain intact and
verification reports intact. "The audit record proves it happened" is unsound
and is replaced with the sound form.
- §13 gained two gaps: stronger approval custody (unassigned — deciding whether
approvals need archival custody distinct from other sources is doctrine work
not yet done) and emission atomicity (approval-engine).

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.
