⚠️ OPERATOR VERDICT REQUESTED — net-new dissolution obligation (DESIGN §5)

flat_scalar_millisecond_fields_dissolve_on (src/v2/workflow/required_floor.dag) is a net-new active dissolution obligation — ClaimSafetyOutcome and claim_safety_outcome are new in this PR, so their bare-Int millisecond fields are debt this PR introduces, not debt it discovered on the base. DESIGN §5 is explicit that a dissolution condition describes how admitted debt ends and does not authorize creating it, and a PR row is not its own approval. Requesting an explicit verdict before merge — three separate populations, not one, per review 53878's observation that the new fields are consumed against, and consistent with, constants that were already flat before this PR:

Population 1 (net-new, this PR): the 4 ClaimSafetyOutcome variant fields (observed_cpu, observed_wall on CompletedPastSafetyLimit; elapsed_cpu_at_least, elapsed_wall_at_least on SafetyInterrupted) — all currently bare Int.
Population 2 (net-new, this PR): the 4 claim_safety_outcome parameters (observed_cpu_ms, observed_wall_ms, cpu_limit_ms, wall_limit_ms) — all currently bare Int.
Population 3 (pre-existing on main, not touched by this PR, confirmed at origin/main:src/v2/workflow/required_floor.dag): required_floor_claim_cpu_safety_limit_ms (-> Int, returns 5000) and required_floor_claim_wall_safety_limit_ms (-> Int, returns 10000) — Populations 1 and 2 are derived from and compared against these two constants, so they are not a second representation beside a typed one in this file; they're consistent with what was already there.

• RejectAndFinishNow — author the verified Int/Nat bridge between v2's inductive Peano tower (v2.std.nat.Nat = Zero | Succ) and the host-backed Nat std.measure.Millisecond is built on, in this PR, before the model lands. Per review 53878, doing this properly means migrating Population 3 in the same pass (the coordinated tower-bridge landing the review asks for) — larger than a Population-1/2-only fix, and beyond what this PR was dispatched to do.
• ApproveTemporaryIntroduction — Populations 1 and 2 (8 fields/parameters) may land as bare Int now, under the declared trigger (a verified bridge between the two towers). Made more defensible by Population 3 already existing in this exact representation in this exact file.
• AcknowledgePreexistingDebt — does not apply to Populations 1/2 (new, not inherited). Applies to Population 3, which is inherited, pre-existing, untouched-by-this-PR debt in the same class.

What the temporary form buys: the three-way ClaimSafetyOutcome model lands and starts detecting the completed-past-limit case now, against the real measured root_d occurrence (60317ms vs. 5000ms) — rather than waiting on an unrelated, unverified numeric-tower bridge.
What it costs: a second bare-scalar numeric representation of one time domain in a file that already has one typed one (std.evaluation_budget), needing a second edit once the bridge exists — now covering three populations, not one, once Population 3 is included in that edit.

Related, non-blocking: raised_by/operation (bare String) are the same flat-scalar class one level over — worth folding into whatever verdict lands here rather than discovering separately later.

Summary

Operator-directed 2026-08-19: the safety deadline does not interrupt an opaque host call, so model that truthfully BEFORE building enforcement. No enforcement mechanism is built or changed here — this is a documentation-only correction so nothing gets built later on an assumed guarantee this measurement disproves.

Measured, not suspected: floor run 32301212975 recorded root_d_checkpoint_scalar_declared_arity_witness_holds reaching a verdict (VerdictReached, not SafetyInterrupted) at 60317ms CPU against required_floor_claim_cpu_safety_limit_ms's 5000ms — twelve times over, uninterrupted, and not a first occurrence (2792–2855ms isolated per docs/plans/witness-cost-first-touch-attribution.md, now 60317ms under floor pressure).

Why

v1_interpreter::eval_expr only polls either safety clock on a stride between its own calls — that poll is the only place either deadline is read. A native builtin dispatched to Rust (a free_call.* arm, here compile_dag_rust_emit_check, which runs compile_sources synchronously to completion) never calls back into eval_expr while it runs, so the whole duration of that call is invisible to both clocks, however long it takes. eval_expr's own comment already states this ("worker isolation, not a budget, is what bounds the listener unconditionally"), but the fact lived only there — nowhere in the .dag authority that declares the CPU/wall safety deadlines said so, and two places implied unconditional enforcement ("crossing either blocks").

Changes

• dag/std/evaluation_budget.dag — new evaluation_budget_opaque_host_call_note, at the caller-agnostic kernel (alongside the existing clock-split and scale-split notes), stating the mechanism and citing the root_d receipt.
• src/v2/workflow/required_floor.dag — the CPU/wall safety-deadline comment block now says "crossing either blocks WHEN THE INTERPRETER'S COOPERATIVE POLL OBSERVES THE CROSSING" and cites the concrete floor-side receipt (run id, witness, 60317ms vs. 5000ms) alongside the symbolic citation to the new kernel note.
• src/v1/stage0/src/cli_run.rs — WitnessSafetyPolicy's doc comment gets the same correction and receipt, so the Rust-side authority and the .dag authority state the same fact.

Test plan

• gunbc compile --source-root dag --source-root src/v2 --dry-run — whole-tree resolve, 0 diagnostics (3717 modules indexed, 2640 sources resolved) — both edited .dag files parse and resolve cleanly.
• cargo fmt --all --check — clean (pre-commit/pre-push hooks passed).
• claim_executor --required-floor on CI, to confirm no behavior changed (this PR is prose-only in the .dag files and doc-comment-only in Rust).

Addressed in 2fc1fd1, responding to review 53860 (BLOCKING on observed_cpu_ms/observed_wall_ms/cpu_limit_ms/wall_limit_ms and the derived ClaimSafetyOutcome fields).

Agreed the finding is correct on the merits — this is exactly the pattern std.evaluation_budget avoids in its own sibling design for the same cooperative-deadline domain (std.measure Nanosecond/PositiveMillisecond, never bare _ms: Int).

Not converted inline: std.measure.Millisecond = Measure<Time, Milli, Nat> is built on v1's host-backed Nat (std.nat.Nat), while this module's own Int/Nat (v2.std.integer/v2.std.nat) are v2's inductive Peano coproduct (Nat = Zero | Succ { prev: Nat }). I checked the corpus directly and no conversion bridge between these two numeric towers exists anywhere today. Authoring one for the first time, under an unrelated CI-fix pass, risks exactly the silent cross-representation mismatch this repo's own incident history warns against (a prior PR that read cleanly and mismatched a carrier seal at runtime).

So instead of an unverified inline fix, I recorded it as a typed std.dissolution DissolutionCondition obligation (flat_scalar_millisecond_fields_dissolve_on) — the same mechanism std/measure.dag itself already uses twice for its own open gaps (amortization_months_dissolve_on, basis_point_dissolve_on) — rather than a prose promise, so it can't decay into an unmarked scaffold. It names the exact fields, the exact blocking condition (a verified Int/Nat bridge between the two towers), and cites this review.

Responding to review 53878 (REQUEST_CHANGES).

The finding restates what review 53860 already raised (dissolve-on already added in 2fc1fd1, acknowledged there). No further code change here: this is deliberately not being fixed inline right now, and that is no longer this PR's own call to make. Per DESIGN §5, a dissolution condition an author writes cannot be its own approval — a net-new active obligation needs an explicit external operator verdict, not self-authorization. That verdict request now sits at the top of this PR's body: the exact 8-field population (4 ClaimSafetyOutcome fields + 4 claim_safety_outcome parameters), the three-way choice (RejectAndFinishNow / ApproveTemporaryIntroduction / AcknowledgePreexistingDebt), and what the temporary form buys vs. costs.

On "the correct move is a coordinated tower-bridge landing" — agreed in principle, but authoring an unverified v2-Peano↔host-Nat numeric bridge for the first time, under this PR's scope, is exactly the improvise-past-doubt move this repo's own incident history warns against (a prior PR that read cleanly and mismatched a carrier seal at runtime). That's why it's routed to an operator verdict rather than done here.

This PR is holding at that verdict and not pushing further changes to the model while it sits.

Amended the operator-verdict request at the top of the PR body per review 53878.

The review is right that this isn't a clean net-new-debt case: required_floor_claim_cpu_safety_limit_ms and required_floor_claim_wall_safety_limit_ms are already bare -> Int on main, unchanged by this PR, and the new fields/parameters this PR adds are derived from and compared against exactly those two constants. That's a third population neither the original request nor review 53860 named.

The verdict request now states all three separately: Population 1 (the 4 ClaimSafetyOutcome fields, net-new), Population 2 (the 4 claim_safety_outcome parameters, net-new), Population 3 (the 2 pre-existing sibling constants, inherited). It also notes the shape this changes for the operator: ApproveTemporaryIntroduction is more defensible now (the new fields match an existing representation in this exact file, not a second one beside a typed one), RejectAndFinishNow is larger than it looked (a proper fix migrates Population 3 too, which is the coordinated tower-bridge landing the review asks for, and exceeds this PR's scope), and AcknowledgePreexistingDebt now applies — to Population 3 specifically.

No code change: this is the review's remedy folded into the pending verdict request, not authored here. Still holding on that verdict.
