Verified against gate-house's committed ruling (decisions/decisions.md,
GH-DEC-2026-017) and amendments A9-A13, then ops-warden's reference change set
(a70f559, wiki/playbooks/netkingdom-layer-declaration.md). They agree.
layer.yaml: standard_version removed; derived: true and derived_from:
INTENT.md added; declared_by kept. INTENT.md frontmatter never carried
standard_version, but its standard: value was a version-pinned path; it is
de-versioned as the reference instance did. No layer value is re-spelled:
INTENT.md still says Engine and layer.yaml still says engine.
The checker changes in the same commit because it listed standard_version as
a required key: removing the field alone would have made a conforming
declaration exit 2 MALFORMED. It now reads INTENT.md as the governing form,
requires the derived marking, rejects a returning standard_version in either
form, checks both layer values against the closed four-token vocabulary
(Taxonomy included) after an ASCII fold, and reports a post-fold disagreement
between the forms as a finding rather than resolving it by precedence.
Tests assert the fold, not per-file spelling, and cover fold agreement, a
real disagreement, the closed vocabulary and a returning version. Full suite
430 passed.
role:, pep-stance.yaml and schema_version are untouched (not ruled). Still
open: where the removed version lives in a derived conformance record; asked
of gate-house by ops-warden (4220413a), followed rather than chosen here.
Closes the SECRETS-WP-0008 note that waited on the reference form.
