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.

If a clause in `docs/ALIGNMENT.md` is about to be weakened or removed via the renegotiation protocol, this track generates the impact-survey across factory surfaces that touch the clause. Answers "who depends on this clause, and what breaks if it moves?" before the renegotiation is accepted.

P1 Badge Remove parent row from child depends_on

Setting depends_on: [B-0058] makes this decomposed child unschedulable while its parent remains open. In tools/backlog/autonomous-pickup.ts, dependencyBlocker requires every dependency to be closed before selection, so this row will be blocked during normal decomposition flow (the parent is intentionally open until children land). Child slices in this repo normally use parent: B-... linkage instead; using depends_on here can stall or invert the parent/child workflow.

# B-0058.4 — Alignment-clause drift detector

This is a peeled layer from B-0058.

## What

If a clause in `docs/ALIGNMENT.md` is about to be weakened or removed via the renegotiation protocol, this script generates the impact-survey across factory surfaces that touch the clause.

It answers "who depends on this clause, and what breaks if it moves?" before the renegotiation is accepted.

## Deliverable

1. A TS script `tools/hygiene/alignment-drift-detector.ts` that searches for references to ALIGNMENT.md clauses and generates an impact report.
2. Integration of this script into the renegotiation protocol.
