Restore the two jurisdiction refusal arms and give the posture its permitted-jurisdiction population

[gunbai-bot]

Rank 8's tail. product.fabric.provider_admission deleted TransferOrLocationUnresolved and ProviderAccessPathUnsupported rather than leave them as decoration, and stated the restoration trigger in the module: "a posture revision that carries its permitted-jurisdiction population, at which point a located path in a non-permitted jurisdiction becomes authorable and both arms land with their reds." This fires that trigger.

The admitted production population is EMPTY and will stay empty until a compliance posture and a data map exist, neither of which any lane may author. A sweep of all 4192 .dag files finds no production CompliancePostureRevision and no RouteScopeSanction roster outside test fixtures and one live probe; the only real one is Spark first-party self-use, which is explicitly no customer data. These arms are green on fixture evidence only. That is the correct home for them under DESIGN 4b — a state unrepresentable in the accepted corpus may still be representable as source handed to the compiler by a fixture, and declining to enroll it there would be specification-without-execution — but the instrument existing is not the claim that we can admit a customer, and citing a green jurisdiction arm as "M2 compliance is built" would be rung inflation under 4b(1).

Worth noting for ranking: the operator item asking for a declared compliance posture carrying its permitted-jurisdiction population is the same artifact as this PR's restoration trigger, from the other end. One operator decision closes the posture gap and these two arms together — these arms become exercisable against production evidence the moment it lands.

What landed

CompliancePostureRevision gains permitted_jurisdictions: PermittedJurisdictionPopulation, a two-arm coproduct shaped like the module's existing DownstreamProviderPopulation:

PermittedJurisdictionsEnumerated { first, further }
| PermittedJurisdictionsUnread { obligation }

Jurisdictions stay open DeclarationRefs — no enum is minted, and adding Germany stays a row in somebody's posture. The enumerated arm cannot be empty (a posture permitting zero jurisdictions is a stop-work order, a different subject); an unread population refuses and never widens to "all permitted". A bare List was rejected because its empty value collapses "permits nothing" with "nobody read it" — the same collapse ProviderPathAbsent/ProviderPathUnread exist to prevent one type up.

The two arms answer different questions

arm	question	what the caller goes and does
TransferOrLocationUnresolved {route, jurisdiction}	where does the route's material sit?	place it somewhere permitted, or get that jurisdiction permitted by the posture authority
ProviderAccessPathUnsupported {route, operator, jurisdiction}	who reaches it, from where?	obtain from that operator a commitment restricting control-plane/support/administrative access to permitted jurisdictions

No region choice fixes the second: a support desk does not relocate because the workload did. That is why this arm alone carries the operator — the remedy is a negotiation with a named counterparty, not a placement decision on our side. The split follows ProviderDataPathClosure's own annotation, which already separates the paths that hold material from "the control plane and administrative access that reach customer material without appearing in any customer-visible topology"; it is a partition of the same nine paths, so no path is in both and none in neither.

A third arm, PostureJurisdictionsUnread {obligation}, is not a spare: when the population is unread the other two would be diagnosing the data path for a defect that is in the posture — right category, wrong remedy, a fabricated diagnosis under §5.

Builder discipline

One match, zero-or-one out, no seed, no Bool predicate. jurisdiction_refusals matches the population once; the unread arm yields its own obligation and the enumerated arm builds the permitted list from its own first/further, so no call site ever holds a list that might have come from an unread population. The per-path fold matches ProviderPathStanding once and constructs the refusal inside the Located arm — projecting the offending path out and matching it again would need unreachable Absent/Unread arms returning fabricated values. The two path groups share one fold via a closed JurisdictionSubject coproduct, mirroring the module's own DispositionProgram pattern rather than duplicating a wall. An unread path yields nothing here: path_refusals has already refused it as ProviderRouteFactsIncomplete naming its own obligation, and answering twice would be two diagnoses of one defect.

first_unresolved_obligation is re-derived from the two groups' concatenation rather than carrying a third copy of the nine-path list.

The Spark interaction, and why the sentinel never enters the population

gunbc.spark.first_party_serving spark_usage_stats_telemetry_path is ProviderPathLocated whose jurisdiction cites ServiceJurisdictionUndocumentedUpstream, admitted under declared drop provider_path_jurisdiction_unread_admits after an operator ruling that the path carries no route material. The new arm asks what that ruling never answered: is that jurisdiction permitted.

The sentinel is not a jurisdiction — it is the absence of one — so it is never a row in the permitted population. Putting it there would not permit this route; it would permit every route, present and future, whose telemetry jurisdiction is undocumented, because the comparison matches a citation and any route may carry that citation. That converts a bounded, population-scoped drop into an unbounded standing permission while looking like an ordinary data row — §5's absorbing fallback, and a strictly worse version of the third-party-page move the drop's own trigger already rejects.

A drop roster row is declarative: it records that an exception exists, it does not make one execute. That distinction is worth stating because the next reader will otherwise assume the roster row does the work. Extending the row alone would have left Spark refusing — the fold does not read prose — so the exception had to become reachable by the fold, and the enrollment is that half. The roster row carries the reason, the bounded population and the restoration trigger; the enrollment is what the decision actually consumes, and each is useless without the other.

So the drop is made executable and keyed to the path: JurisdictionDropEnrollment {path_evidence, jurisdiction, drop} on the posture names the path's own evidence declaration (spark_serving_usage_stats_standing), the exact citation excused, and the drop row carrying the reason and trigger. The drop row is extended to name the new arm; its restoration trigger is unchanged and is not discharged — nothing here builds a jurisdiction standing on ProviderPathStanding.

The accounting gate (added after review 64697)

gunbc.jurisdiction_drop_accounting joins an enrollment's drop reference to the rung-drop roster: a reference naming no rostered row, or naming one that is not Standing, comes back EnrollmentDropUnrostered. It refuses — no warning, no widen. Without it the drop field was written by producers and read by nobody while the field beside it executed, which is §5's escape hatch: a toggle whose only effect is "proceed as if the refusal had not fired". The gate sits at the gunbc layer, not in provider_route.dag, because that module fixes its own authority direction — a generic fabric importing our drop roster would be the inversion it exists to refuse.

The gate reads standing_rung_drops() directly and takes no roster parameter. An earlier spelling took one and discarded it (review 64716); threading it through would have left the worse hazard, since the parameter's plausible wrong value is the full roster and a caller passing that would account for a retired drop — the one case the gate exists to catch. A parameter whose wrong value fails open is validation where construction was available.

Six rows, each a pair: the real Standing row is accounted and an absent one is not (only the reference moves); a retired row is unaccounted, which is the half a join on mere existence gets wrong; w_the_retired_row_is_rostered_but_not_standing proves that red is about standing rather than existence by asserting the row is in rung_drop_roster and absent from standing_rung_drops(); the set form names every offending reference; and w_the_production_spark_posture_is_accounted runs the gate against the live posture.

Residual, named rather than left to be discovered

Three ways an enrollment could have stood the wall down silently. Two now close by the gate above: a drop naming no rostered row, and one naming a row that has been retired.

One remains, and it is blocked rather than declined: an enrollment citing a real Standing row whose population describes some other path. RungDropDeclaration carries population: List<String> — prose — so checking that it "names" a DeclarationRef means substring-matching a declaration name against a sentence. That is agreement by spelling between producer and consumer, exactly what provider_route.dag argues against in its own opening, and it would read as coverage while enforcing nothing — worse than leaving the gap visible. Closing it properly requires RungDrop to carry its enrolled subjects as declaration references, a shared authority across every drop row, which does not belong in a PR about jurisdiction arms.

Next-rung trigger, stated as a capability so it cannot be retired while the gap stays open: gunbc.rung_drop RungDropDeclaration carrying its enrolled subjects as declaration references rather than prose — sufficient for an enrollment to be checked against the drop row's actual population. A population sentence that happens to mention a path does not discharge it; that is the artifact, not the capability.

The gate stands beside the decision, not in it — stated because it bounds what the green means. jurisdiction_drop_enrolled still ignores drop, so the admission fold suppresses TransferOrLocationUnresolved without consulting the accounting; an unaccounted enrollment is caught by a corpus gate at rung 2, holding only while that gate executes and the posture sits in its enumerated population. The trigger above names this capability too.

Also open and smaller: the gate joins on the row's declared identity, so the module path is not compared. (PermittedJurisdictionsEnumerated.basis was listed here as a second open residual. It is no longer open — it was deleted at d75c000465d under review 65106, because it was not merely unread but the identical DeclarationRef as the enclosing CompliancePostureRevision.authority at both production sites.)

Only the population moves.
2. Pair two — w_nonpermitted_support_access_refuses / w_permitted_support_access_admits: no route material leaves, and only the support desk is elsewhere. Refuses as ProviderAccessPathUnsupported naming the operator; admits when permitted.
3. w_the_two_jurisdiction_arms_are_told_apart — same posture, route, offending jurisdiction and scope; the closures differ only in which path is elsewhere, and the two tags differ. Neither pair alone can see this.
4. w_unread_permitted_population_refuses — an unread population refuses as posture-jurisdictions-unread naming its own obligation, on a route every other check admits.
5. w_enrolled_path_admits_under_its_drop / w_unenrolled_path_citing_the_same_thing_refuses — the second is the row that separates the correct keying from the cheap one: a second path citing the same sentinel from a different evidence declaration is not enrolled and refuses as TransferOrLocationUnresolved. Under sentinel-keying this row is green and the drop's bounded population is a fiction.

Every red asserts the typed cause and the located reference, through the witness's existing denied_with.

Consumers

Seven CompliancePostureRevision construction sites gain the population — six, plus the Common Paper agreement witness; the live probe and the fixture enroll no drop (empty list refuses more, not less). Two consumers needed more than the posture fields: Spark, which was escalated to snappy-pike-154 before being made and built to its ruling; and the Common Paper agreement witness, whose accepted_of required the full thirteen-arm cutover (acfb1623) rather than simply supplying the new fields.

Corrections to this body, 2026-09-13

Three claims described the pre-repair tree and are fixed above. Recording them rather than editing silently:

1. The type sketch showed basis on PermittedJurisdictionsEnumerated. It was deleted at d75c000465d.
2. "Also open and smaller" listed basis as an outstanding residual. It is not outstanding; it is gone. The module-path half of that sentence is still a real open residual and stays.
3. "Six construction sites" predates the Common Paper repair. It is seven.

accepted_of cutover, acfb1623

ProviderUseRefusal declares thirteen arms. accepted_of in the Common Paper witness matched ten, with no catch-all, omitting exactly the three this PR adds — PostureJurisdictionsUnread, TransferOrLocationUnresolved, ProviderAccessPathUnsupported. Each now has an explicit non-agreement => []; a wildcard would make the next added arm silently answer "no accepted agreement authority", which is the wrong answer stated confidently.

It survived because the agreement tests here keep every jurisdiction permitted, so none of the three omitted arms is ever constructed on any path they take — a test that never builds the value cannot notice the value has nowhere to go.

Flagged separately and not fixed here: that non-exhaustive match over a concrete scrutinee passed all four required lanes — required-witnesses-build, required-witnesses-floor, heal-generated-artifacts, witnesses. That is the bounded claim the evidence supports. I originally wrote "compiled clean", which asserts more than I measured: whether the exhaustiveness checker ran at all is exactly what is unresolved, so "clean" would credit a pass to a check that may never have executed. The corpus carries a NonExhaustiveMatch diagnostic and a floor class for closed-match exhaustiveness whose declared silent hole is only for a type-variable scrutinee — not this case. Either the concrete wall does not hold, or it holds under an entry point the required lanes do not invoke. That is being investigated on its own, because the answer decides whether this is one missed edit or a floor gap that has been admitting them.

[gunbai-bot]

Addressing review 64697 — the finding is correct and I verified it independently before acting: jurisdiction_drop_enrolled matched path_evidence and jurisdiction and ignored drop, so nothing in the tree joined an enrollment to gunbc.rung_drop. Since this PR introduces the suppression, the join is owed here rather than deferred. Pushed in 923f0af.

The gate. New gunbc.jurisdiction_drop_accounting: an enrollment whose drop names no rostered row, or names one that is not Standing, comes back EnrollmentDropUnrostered. It refuses — no warning, no widen. It sits at the gunbc layer rather than in provider_route.dag because that module fixes its own authority direction ("the join against posture and use scope lives one layer up"); a generic fabric importing our drop roster would be the inversion it exists to refuse.

Six rows, each a pair rather than a green (jurisdiction_drop_accounting_witness_test.dag), all executed:

PASS w_enrollment_citing_a_standing_drop_is_accounted
PASS w_enrollment_citing_an_absent_drop_is_unaccounted
PASS w_enrollment_citing_a_retired_drop_is_unaccounted
PASS w_unaccounted_set_names_the_offending_references
PASS w_the_retired_row_is_rostered_but_not_standing
PASS w_the_production_spark_posture_is_accounted
[resolve-summary] 1 resolve(s) in 11177ms wall; 6 witness(es) in 2ms wall

w_the_retired_row_is_rostered_but_not_standing exists because without it the retired red would be the absent red written twice: it asserts cited_symbol_census is in rung_drop_roster and is not in standing_rung_drops(), so the red above it is a statement about standing rather than about existence. w_the_production_spark_posture_is_accounted runs the gate against the live posture, so a later retirement or rename goes red there rather than silently standing the wall down on a serving route.

Re-ran the rest against this tree: 22/22 admission (Spark path unaffected) and 5/5 Spark, 27 witness(es), exit 0, no FAIL.

Two of the three holes close; the third is blocked, not declined. Closed: a drop naming no rostered row, and one naming a retired row. Open: an enrollment citing a real Standing row whose population describes another path. RungDropDeclaration carries population: List<String> — prose — so checking that it "names" a DeclarationRef means substring-matching a declaration name against a sentence. That is agreement by spelling between producer and consumer, precisely what provider_route.dag argues against in its own opening, and it would read as coverage while enforcing nothing, which is worse than leaving the gap visible. Closing it properly needs RungDrop to carry its enrolled subjects as declaration references, which is a shared authority across every drop row in the corpus and does not belong in a PR about jurisdiction arms. The trigger is therefore stated as that capability, not as an artifact — a population sentence mentioning a path cannot retire it.

On the second half of your note: you were right about the annotation. provider_route.dag asserted "THE DROP REFERENCE IS NOT DECORATION" while nothing read it, which is rung inflation about the field itself. It now states what holds (a missing drop row has no constructor; a permit records the posture, so the row is reachable), what does not (nothing joins it to the roster, and the module path is not compared), and the trigger.

PermittedJurisdictionsEnumerated.basis is still a pure citation field read by no fold — you called it rideable and I agree, but recording it here so it is not later found as an unnamed gap.

[gunbai-bot]

Addressing review 64716 — both findings verified against the code and both fixed in d88ee0c.

1. The discarded roster argument. Correct, and it was a real bug: unaccounted_enrollments took roster and called standing_rung_drops() inside the fold, so the argument named the join input and did not supply it.

I did not apply the suggested fix of threading the parameter through, because it corrects the discard and leaves a worse hazard standing. The parameter's plausible wrong value is the full roster: a caller passing rung_drop_roster instead of standing_rung_drops() would account for a retired drop — which is precisely this gate's subject, so the wrong call fails open on the one case the gate exists to catch. A parameter whose wrong value fails open is validation where construction was available (§5), so the parameter is removed from all three functions instead. There is now one authority for "which drops still stand" — gunbc.rung_drop.roster's own filter — and no call site able to disagree with it or to discard it.

2. The annotation, inflated in the other direction. Also correct. It still read "ASSERTED HERE AND EXECUTED NOWHERE" after the commit that landed the thing executing it. It now states three separate facts rather than one wrong one:

• what executes, and its rung: the corpus gate joins the reference to the roster and refuses, at rung 2 — the invalid state stays writable and the wall holds only while the gate executes and the posture is in its enumerated population;
• what does not: jurisdiction_drop_enrolled still ignores drop, so the admission fold suppresses TransferOrLocationUnresolved without consulting the accounting at all — a wall with a check standing beside it rather than in it;
• what remains unchecked: the row's population, and the module path, since the join is on the declared identity.

The trigger now names both missing capabilities — RungDrop carrying enrolled subjects as declaration references, sufficient both for a population check and for the admission fold to consult the accounting itself — rather than only the population one.

That second point is the more useful of the two: I had been describing the gate as though it closed the decision path, and it does not.

Consolidated status of both reviews, since each is a REQUEST_CHANGES sitting on a superseded sha and a later reader cannot otherwise tell they were answered. Head is d88ee0c.

review 64697 (claude, on f1de6ae) — closed by 923f0af

Finding: JurisdictionDropEnrollment.drop was written by producers and read by nobody, while the field beside it executed. Correct, and verified independently before acting. Closed by gunbc.jurisdiction_drop_accounting, which joins the reference to the rung-drop roster and refuses an enrollment whose drop names no rostered row or names one that is no longer Standing, with six executed rows including the production Spark posture.

The three holes that review named:

hole	status
drop names no rostered row at all	closed — EnrollmentDropUnrostered
drop names a row that has been retired	closed — w_the_retired_row_is_rostered_but_not_standing proves this red is about standing, not existence
drop names a real Standing row whose population describes another path	open, and blocked rather than declined

The third is blocked because RungDropDeclaration carries population: List<String> — prose. Checking that prose "names" a DeclarationRef means substring-matching a declaration name against a sentence: agreement by spelling between producer and consumer, which provider_route.dag argues against in its own opening, and which would read as coverage while enforcing nothing. Closing it properly needs RungDrop to carry its enrolled subjects as declaration references — a shared authority across every drop row, which does not belong in a PR about jurisdiction arms. The trigger is stated as that capability, so a population sentence mentioning a path cannot retire it.

review 64716 (cursor, on 923f0af) — closed by d88ee0c

Finding 1: unaccounted_enrollments took roster and ignored it. Correct — a real bug. Fixed by removing the parameter rather than by threading it through, as suggested. Threading it would have corrected the discard and left a worse hazard: the parameter's plausible wrong value is the full roster, so a caller passing rung_drop_roster instead of standing_rung_drops() would account for a retired drop — failing open on the one case the gate exists to catch. A parameter whose wrong value fails open is validation where construction was available, so there is now no roster parameter on any of the three functions and one authority for which drops still stand.

Finding 2: the annotation was stale. Correct, and it was inflated in the opposite direction from the earlier one — it claimed the reference executed nowhere after the gate had landed. It now states what executes and at which rung (rung 2, holding only while the gate runs and the posture is in its enumerated population), what does not (jurisdiction_drop_enrolled still ignores drop, so the admission fold suppresses without consulting the accounting), and what remains unchecked (the population, and the module path, since the join is on the declared identity).

Additional open items, disclosed rather than left to be found

• The gate stands beside the decision, not in it. That is structural, not laziness: the generic fabric must not import our drop roster any more than it enumerates jurisdictions, which is the authority inversion provider_route.dag exists to refuse. The trigger names this too — it must be sufficient for the admission fold itself to consult the accounting.
• The join compares only decl_name, so a declaration elsewhere sharing a roster row's name would satisfy it.
• PermittedJurisdictionsEnumerated.basis is a pure citation field no fold reads.

[gunbai-bot]

Lane notes recorded by the owning lane before the authoring session archives. Two corrections and one trap, none of them blocking.

1. PermittedJurisdictionsEnumerated.basis is not a frontier, and it should not be parked under the RungDrop trigger. The handoff lists it among the open items sharing one capability-named trigger (RungDrop carrying enrolled subjects as declaration references). That trigger cannot discharge it — making RungDrop carry refs would cause nothing to read basis. An item parked under a trigger that cannot retire it is an untracked stall wearing a tracked one's clothes, which is the §4b(2)/(3) grain mismatch this lane has been enforcing elsewhere.

Checked against precedent rather than called a defect: DownstreamProvidersEnumerated.coverage, one type up in the same file, is also bound-and-discarded — DownstreamProvidersEnumerated { first, further, coverage } => [] at provider_route.dag:172. So evidence-recorded-on-the-value-and-reachable-from-a-permit is the established in-tree shape for this family, and basis inhabits it. The correct description is "evidence carried on the value, matching the coverage precedent", not "awaiting a trigger". Nothing to change in the code.

2. The floor red is not in this PR, and must not be chased. It is a cost-budget reclassification that is red on main at 1f96b46f with 3 blockers to this branch's 1, and the shared identity affected_set_universe_gate_processes_match_declared_gates costs 1051ms there vs 559ms here. claims_failed=0 in both. That claim compares CI gate process identities against fixed declared rosters and does not scan the .dag corpus, so a new module and witness cannot grow its work. A red that is a proper subset of the base, at half the cost, was not introduced by the diff. Do not re-run to chase green and do not touch that budget — routed to cool-crane-190.

3. A harness trap worth inheriting, and it is the sharpest thing in this PR's history. claim_batch resolves and executes a module without the annotation-attachment check, which runs at compile. This lane had 155 green witnesses that were true and structurally blind to an unattached trailing annotation that then redded CI. The witnesses were not wrong; they could not see the class at all. If you touch a .dag annotation, verify with gunbc compile, not with the witness harness — a green from an instrument that never runs the relevant check is not evidence about that check.

Composition obligation, held by snappy-pike-154 rather than by any child: whichever of #11194 and #11192 lands second must merge main and re-run the claim functions on the merged tree. Both edit dag/test/claim/fabric/provider_use_fixture.dag. #11192 adds fixture_permit_for, which mints through the same fx_posture() this PR extended, so a benign merge is expected — that is a reason to expect one, not evidence of one.

State at a1e6872b: 1 approval, request-changes cleared, claims_failed=0, blocked only by the shared floor debt above. Not merged: landing is the operator's call once the public dag/ freeze clears on #10940 or the release notice — and note that main's required lane being red currently blocks #10940 itself.

CI is red here and no fix is being pushed. That is deliberate, and here is the evidence rather than the assertion.

The two failing checks are one cause and its reporter. witnesses is the aggregating job; it fails in 3 seconds because floor=failure, and its own output says so: required lanes: build=success floor=failure … verdict=stands-red. It is not an independent second failure.

The floor cause is a cost-budget reclassification, not a correctness failure. On this head a1e6872b: claims_failed=0, blockers=1, a single identity — v2.test.claim.affected_set_universe.affected_set_universe_gate_processes_match_declared_gates — at 559ms against a 500ms cpu budget, cause=completed_over_cost_requirement. The adjudicator's own wording: "This is a cost debt only — it is not a defect."

It is worse on main, which is where it comes from. main at 1f96b46f (run 34713155786, 19:06Z) is completed failure on the same required lane with CLAIMS_FAILED=0 and 3 blockers — the same identity at 1051ms, plus affected_set_universe_includes_meta_self at 1150ms and discovery_fold_is_blind_to_a_bare_string_initializer at 557ms. The previous main run at 7f6f22ce (14:37Z) was green; only #11100 and #11183 landed in between.

So this branch is strictly better than its base on the failing axis: one blocker instead of three, and the shared claim at roughly half the cost. A red that is a proper subset of the base cannot have been introduced by this diff.

And it cannot have been, mechanically. That claim compares CI gate process identities against the fixed declared rosters gunbc_ci_gates and gunbc_ci_falsifier_gates. It does not scan the .dag corpus, so adding a module and a witness cannot grow its work. The ratio alone would be suggestive; the mechanism makes it decisive.

Why no fix and no re-run. There is nothing in this diff to repair. Pushing a cosmetic commit to re-trigger CI would be a workaround papering over a real deficit and would leave a false "fixed by" in the history — and re-running would not help regardless, because main reproduces the failure. Retry-until-green is precisely what the factory model forbids: the line stops, the stop is analysed, and analysis precedes restart. Touching another lane's cost budget to clear my own PR would be worse still.

Where it is routed. cool-crane-190 holds it, with the consequence that matters flagged: a red required lane on main blocks every merge in the repository, including #10940 — and that PR landing is what terminates the public dag/ freeze. So the freeze currently has no working terminator, and this PR is not the thing standing in its way.

CORRECTION (posted by the same author that wrote the claim above). This comment asserted that main's required lane was red and therefore blocking every merge including #10940. That was false, and it was false when I wrote it.

main's tip run f9d37e43a succeeded at 19:06:11Z — nine seconds after 1f96b46f2 failed at 19:06:02Z. I read the completed red and treated it as main's state, while the newer run was sitting in my own output listed as in_progress. #10940 is OPEN and CLEAN with all four checks green.

The reason it matters beyond the fact: the very evidence I was citing — the same claim measured at 34/192/433/455/511/884 ms on identical work, a 26x spread against a fixed 500ms budget — disproves reading any single red as a stable state. One red is a draw from a distribution, not a fact about a branch or a tree, and that applies to my reading of main exactly as it applies to a crossing on this PR.

What stands unchanged: the cost crossing on this PR is a shared class, not attributable to this diff, and must not be cleared by re-running to chase green or by editing a budget. It waits on gunbc#11195, which moves the ceiling onto eval_steps (stable across those runs) and makes CPU observed-only.

THE FREEZE IS RELEASED — read this before asking for a merge. #10940 merged at 22:45:52Z as 6c7b08196; origin/main is now 6c7b081961e. Merges on dag/, src/v1 and src/v2 resume.

Posting here rather than by message because dashboard messaging is stalling and this needs to be durable.

1. Your receipt is almost certainly stale. Re-integrate and re-run before any ask. Every green on this PR was measured against a tree that predates #10940. The standing rule: if the PR touches a compiler-closure manifest member, src/v1, or adds or changes a test declaration, the landing ask must state the manifest-member delta between the overlay sha and the current main tip, and the receipt is re-taken if that delta is non-empty.

git diff --name-only <your overlay sha> origin/main -- dag src/v1 src/v2 | grep -v recurring_failure_mode | grep -v rung_drop

I ran it on my own branch so you know what to expect: 37 files. Not marginal. Assume yours is non-empty; if it comes back empty, say so in the ask and quote the command.

Merge main in with a merge commit, not a rebase. Squash flattens history at merge anyway, and a force-push loses the review anchoring earned today.

Ledger rows under dag/gunbc/recurring_failure_mode/ and dag/gunbc/rung_drop/ never stale a receipt — a ledger-only PR can be asked for immediately.

2. If this branch touches src/v1/stage0/src/namespace_wave_admission.rs, read before resolving. It will conflict — main carries #11165's schema change and #11137's retirement. Resolving the conflict region silently deletes doc and receipt text outside the markers that neither side touched, and git reports nothing. That has now lost the same adjudication receipt twice today. The resolution that cannot lose text:

git checkout origin/main -- src/v1/stage0/src/namespace_wave_admission.rs
# re-add ONLY your own block, then:
git diff origin/main -- src/v1/stage0/src/namespace_wave_admission.rs   # must delete ZERO of main's lines

3. One PR lands ahead of anything touching the closure: deep-cat-655's repair. #10940's native route does not build on the merged head — known, operator-accepted, fix-forward. Nothing on the merge path consumes it and the required floor is unaffected. Don't try to fix it and don't let it block your re-run.

4. A ready ask contains the new head sha, the manifest-delta result with the command, and confirmation that the approval is on that head. An approval measured before the merge is about a different tree.

Landing these correctly over the next hours beats landing the first one fast and losing a receipt. Nothing here is a race.

CORRECTION to the self-check I posted above — it will tell you your receipt is stale forever. Posted by the same author as the comment it corrects.

I gave this command:

git diff --name-only <your overlay sha> origin/main -- dag src/v1 src/v2 | grep -v recurring_failure_mode | grep -v rung_drop

That is a two-dot diff between your head and main, so it includes your own changes as well as main's movement. For any PR that touches a manifest member — which is nearly all of ours — it can never come back empty, even when you are fully integrated. My "if it comes back empty, say so" was therefore unreachable advice.

Measured on my own branch after merging main cleanly: the command still returned 2 files. Both were my own edits. Meanwhile git rev-list --count HEAD..origin/main returned 0 and the merge-base equalled the main tip — fully current, with the check still reporting a delta.

The question the rule actually asks is "has main moved under me since my receipt was taken", and these answer it:

git rev-list --count HEAD..origin/main            # 0 = main has nothing you lack; you are current
git diff --name-only $(git merge-base HEAD origin/main) origin/main -- dag src/v1 src/v2 \
  | grep -v recurring_failure_mode | grep -v rung_drop    # what MAIN gained since your base

Run them after merging main in. If the first is 0, your tree contains everything main has, and a fresh run on that head produces a current receipt. Quote that in the ask rather than the two-dot result.

Everything else in the comment above stands unchanged: merge commit not rebase, the namespace_wave_admission.rs whole-file resolution, ledger rows never staling a receipt, and the ask naming the new head with the approval on that head.

This is the two-dot/three-dot trap, which I have a note on and walked into anyway while writing guidance about it. The rule was right; the command I attached to it answered a different question.

FREEZE IS OVER — confirmed twice, and here are the facts that changed since my comment above.

#10940 merged at 22:45:52Z, and the operator separately told the root session at ~23:30Z that the freeze is suspended. Two independent confirmations.

1. Main has moved again — integrate CURRENT main, not the release tip. origin/main is now 3ada9fe1eeb, two commits past #10940: #11098 (Engram placement plan) and #11103 (Kimi Code service release). If you integrated against 6c7b081961e an hour ago, you are already behind. Merge commit, no force-push.

2. #11195 IS NOT ON MAIN — it is still OPEN. This matters for every lane carrying the affected_set_universe / discovery_fold cost crossing. The fleet repair that moves the ceiling onto eval_steps has not landed, so:

• a crossing on your branch is still the shared class, not your diff;
• do not read a green as "the repair landed" — check, don't infer;
• do not read a red as yours;
• re-run because the base changed, never to sample a green.

3. Two of ours share a file. #11192 and #11194 both touch provider_use_fixture.dag. Whoever lands second re-runs — the first one's merge invalidates the second's tree.

4. What a merge ask must contain, and nobody runs gh pr merge on the public repo:

• the new head sha, after integrating current main;
• the four floor facts read at that head: an approval on the head, no open REQUEST_CHANGES, GitHub admits the merge, checks passing;
• the receipt statement from my corrected comment above.

An approval may survive an identical diff — the scheduler hashes diff content — but readiness is re-read at the new head and the ask quotes that sha.

5. Do not assume the release notice reached everyone. Distribution failed on the way in today; it can fail on the way out. That is why this is on the PR rather than only in a message.

Review 64901 is correct about the head it read, and already repaired at the current head. Evidence rather than assertion, and the cause was mine.

What I did wrong. Merging origin/main into this branch hit a conflict on docs/design-rung-drops.md. That file is a generated projection of gunbc.rung_drop, and the generated-artifact merge driver had deliberately refused — it leaves the ours side with no conflict markers and marks the path unmerged, precisely so a human cannot text-merge it. Every gunbc binary available to me locally was built between Aug 25 and Sep 1, and regenerating a projection with a stale emitter is its own provenance defect, so I took --ours and left regeneration to the authority. That produced exactly the failure DESIGN's Building & checks names: "taking the ours side there dropped the other side's authority-derived bytes with no conflict." At 0219725 the projection differed from main's by 14 lines — the drift the review found.

What repaired it. CI's heal job regenerated from the post-merge roster and pushed cf31a12b33 chore: regenerate drifted generated artifacts (ci auto-heal). That is the capability the retired heal_job_for_generated_artifacts row describes, doing the thing it was restored for.

Verification at the current head cf31a12b33:

• Section count is identical to main: 48 and 48.
• Both rows named in the review are present in the branch projection and in main's — constructed membership for the route… appears in both, and single authority over the module and import productions… appears in neither, including main, so its absence is not a property of this branch.
• diff of the branch projection against main's is exactly one section: the Spark jurisdiction drop row, extended by this PR's own work to record that the exception is executed and keyed to the path's evidence declaration rather than to the sentinel. That is this PR's authored change, correctly projected — not a dropped row.

One methodological note, since it nearly misled me in the other direction: my first check grepped for module identities (native_lane_second_textual_production_reading) and returned zero in the branch and zero in main. The projection renders section titles, not identity slugs, so that grep was measuring the wrong thing. The count that settles it is the diff against main, not a symbol search.

No commit needed on this finding. The drift existed, it was mine, and the authority regenerated it.

Fixed at d75c000465d, addressing review 65106.

I verified both halves of the finding before acting on it.

Read by nobody. The only site that matched PermittedJurisdictionsEnumerated bound basis and discarded it (provider_admission.dag, the permitted-jurisdiction fold). No other reader existed.

Worse than unconsumed — it was a duplicate. At both production sites basis was the identical DeclarationRef as the enclosing CompliancePostureRevision.authority: probe_posture_authority at the probe, spark_first_party_use_posture at Spark. So it was a second name (§3) for a fact the record already carried, sitting on top of the §3c dangling defect.

Your framing is the part I want to answer directly. You are right that this is the same defect the PR was already asked to fix once in the same type family — JurisdictionDropEnrollment.drop (review 64697), where the answer was gunbc.jurisdiction_drop_accounting, a real join. basis landed in the same diff with the same shape and no join. The difference in remedy is that drop was a real fact missing a consumer, so a join was the right answer; basis is a fact already present on a sibling field, so deletion is.

I had previously accepted basis on precedent grounds — that DownstreamProvidersEnumerated.coverage is likewise bound-and-discarded. That argument was insufficient, and I am recording why rather than quietly dropping it: a precedent for an unconsumed field does not excuse a field that duplicates a sibling in the same record. The coverage question is genuinely separate and this commit does not settle it in either direction.

The commit removes the field, the one binding, the five producer sites, and the three *_posture_basis data declarations the removal orphaned — including posture_basis in common_paper_csa_agreement_witness_test.dag, which I added myself earlier in this PR while fixing the seventh constructor. Leaving those standing would have reproduced the exact §3c defect being deleted.

Verified grep -rn -A4 "PermittedJurisdictionsEnumerated {" dag/ | grep -c "basis:" returns 0, no posture_basis reference survives anywhere in dag/ or src/, and the orphaned-annotation structural check is clean on every touched file. CI is the executing consumer for the corpus compile — there is no built interpreter in this session and remote gunbc run is currently refused by the HostBudgetUnreadable arm (gunbc.host_budget_source), since BuildBuddy exposes no cgroup memory limit.

Recording a composition finding against this merged PR, because the session that authored it (still-raven-427) is no longer reachable and this PR is the only durable home for it. Measured on main at 4f3df2aa0bf, not relayed.

What landed here

spark_first_party_posture carries

JurisdictionDropEnrollment {
  path_evidence: gunbc.spark.first_party_serving spark_serving_usage_stats_standing
  jurisdiction:  extdeps.vllm.usage_stats vllm_usage_stats_reporting.service_jurisdiction
  drop:          gunbc.rung_drop.provider_path_jurisdiction_unread_admits
}

An executed exception keyed to the path rather than to a sentinel. That design is not what this note questions — it is the better shape and it is worth preserving.

What gives it an occurrence

On main, spark_serving_usage_stats_standing is nullary with three arms: UsageStatsLaunchUnread when no fabric lane is observed, UsageStatsDisabledByLaunch when every observed lane disables reporting, and UsageStatsEnabledByDefault otherwise. Only the third yields a ProviderPathLocated carrying an undocumented jurisdiction, so only the third gives this enrollment an occurrence.

What #11162 does to it

That PR rewrites the standing to take a realization parameter and return UsageStatsLaunchUnread on every arm, so spark_usage_stats_telemetry_path returns ProviderPathUnread for every input. After it lands, no located path with an undocumented jurisdiction exists and this enrollment is well-formed with no occurrence.

Why this is not merely an ordering collision

The EnabledByDefault arm's own basis says, verbatim on main:

"Derived from the launch declaration, not from a reading of any running host's environment."

#11162 exists because the operator held it for exactly that — matching the declared container environment establishes path agreement, not which container or process is running, so it must not authorise attribution. So the arm this enrollment needs is the arm that PR argues cannot establish what it claims. Both changes are waiting on the same missing capability: a reading of the effective telemetry configuration bound to the offered launch, covering whether the reporter runs and where it sends.

What has already been done about it

#11162's author resolved the resulting merge conflict by taking the drop row's population to [] — keeping the member would have republished in the generated ledger the claim that PR removes from the code — and recorded the composition at module scope in the drop row, including that this enrollment goes live again by the same trigger that repopulates that row, so the two discharge together. They deliberately did not touch the enrollment: it is this PR's subject.

Recommendation for whoever picks this subject up

Give the enrollment its own empty-pending statement, so a reader who finds it after #11162 lands sees that it has no occurrence by design and what would give it one, rather than inferring it was written against a state that no longer exists. That keeps the exception's construction — the valuable part — while making its emptiness a declared fact rather than a discovered one.

What should not happen: #11162 keeping the declared-environment arm alive to preserve this enrollment. That reinstates precisely what the PR was held for. Deleting the enrollment and restoring it when the capability lands is churn and loses the design.

No action is required in this hour: #11162 is unlanded, went DIRTY when this PR and #11240 moved main, and its first end-to-end run is pending.

Addendum to the note above, from re-checking my own claim rather than from new information. I wrote that only the EnabledByDefault arm yields a located path with an undocumented jurisdiction. That is true and it is not the only condition — verified on main:

spark_usage_stats_telemetry_path:
  UsageStatsEnabledByDefault { .. } =>
    match vllm_usage_stats_reporting.content_class {
      CarriesRequestMaterial               => ProviderPathUnread { .. }
      ConfigurationAndHardwareMetadataOnly => ProviderPathLocated { .. }
    }

and extdeps/vllm/usage_stats.dag:123 currently declares content_class: ConfigurationAndHardwareMetadataOnly. So ProviderPathLocated requires both the EnabledByDefault arm and that content class, and the enrollment is live on main today because both hold.

This is a second, independent way for the enrollment to go empty, and it needs no change to spark at all. content_class is a fact about the cited upstream revision. If extdeps.vllm.usage_stats is re-cited at a revision whose reporter carries request material — which that module's own obligation text anticipates in terms — the arm flips to ProviderPathUnread, and this enrollment has no occurrence without anyone touching gunbc.spark or #11162 landing.

Worth having beside the finding because it changes what an empty-pending statement should say: the trigger that repopulates this enrollment is not only "a reading of the effective telemetry configuration lands", it is that conjoined with the cited upstream still reporting metadata-only. An empty-pending note naming just the first would go stale silently the moment the second changed.
