All four reviewing repositories returned findings on v0.4 and one contested a
rule. Every change below came from a reviewer, not from gate-house.
- §9.1 split into `pending` (no route, capability zero) and `declared-gap`
(route exists under §5.3, capability works). v0.4's single mark would have
forced a false "pending" onto ops-warden's production SSH issuance —
the fix was worse than the defect, and the defect was in this section.
- §9.3 rewritten. flex-auth contested it and was right: it collapsed "engine
reachable but degraded" with "engine unreachable", and the second has no
evaluator in the path to express anything. Input degradation is the engine's;
unreachability is the consumer's, bounded by a declared auditable total
stance — which ops-warden ADR-0009 already satisfies. v0.4 had ruled against
shipped behaviour in a repository that assented to it.
- §5 scoped: "Tooling-layer system" means a §4 Tooling row. Without this every
Staff repository was in undeclared violation for writing progress events.
- §9.4 requires the outbox to be local — no synchronous audit-core dependency
inside the state-change transaction, so an audit outage cannot block a
revocation.
- §9.5 forbids compiling maturity levels into registry content while decision
provenance carries no registry-snapshot digest.
- §9.6 gained load-bearing versus attributive evidence, the mirror rule that
absence is not evidence of non-occurrence, and kings-guard's finding that
suppression biases posture optimistic and silently.
- §11 gained a fourth state: blocked-clean, which MUST NOT rank below
conforming. A repository that declined a break-glass path and left a
capability at zero complied at cost; one that quietly opened a client and
declared nothing did not.
- §11 gained a machine-readable declaration form; ops-warden's layer.yaml is
the reference implementation.
- §13 gained state and owner-status columns; access-engine's decline of
authentication evidence is recorded.
