 Every new skill under `.claude/skills/**`, persona under `.claude/agents/**`, glossary entry in `docs/GLOSSARY.md`, and BACKLOG row at P0/P1 runs through an alignment-clause consistency check. Fires at author-time (prevention surface) and on a cadence (detection surface). Same shape as the skill-data/behaviour-split audit, but on alignment-clause compliance rather than mix-signature.

 Candidates that fail the ethics+safety gate are recorded as failure-data on the honesty dashboard, NOT silently dropped. Rubber-stamping is the exact failure-mode the three-filter discipline exists to prevent — this gate extends that discipline into the ethics axis.

+# B-0530 — Candidate-failure honesty log
+
+Decomposed from B-0058 to allow atomic mechanization of the honesty log surface.
+
+Candidates that fail the ethics+safety gate are recorded as failure-data on the honesty dashboard, NOT silently dropped. Rubber-stamping is the exact failure-mode the three-filter discipline exists to prevent — this gate extends that discipline into the ethics axis.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+- Create an honesty log template or use existing telemetry.
+- Integrate the failure case into the candidate-adoption skill or gate.
