Conformance sweep across the §4 catalog found two defects in this standard.
§11 required every catalogued repository to declare its layer in INTENT.md,
which OpenBao cannot do — the estate catalogues it but does not author it. That
is the §9.1 defect applied to conformance rather than capability: a rule
assigning an obligation the holder cannot discharge. For components the estate
does not author, the catalog row is the declaration.
§11 also did not say what a declaration is. A layer stated about a repository
by another repository is not one. The nine repositories carrying gate-house's
layering review note appear to declare a layer, but the words are gate-house's
and sit above a line admitting the body is unadapted — assertion, not assent,
which is the pattern this estate rejects.
§14 now records the honest count: seven of fifteen estate-authored repositories
have declared in their own voice. Adoption is not claimed on the basis of notes
gate-house wrote into other repositories.
Amended in place rather than versioned: v0.4 is proposed and unassented.
