Authorises a bounded mechanical probe of M7's experiment on a disposable
branch, for evidence only, before review round 11. Granted before use
because the prohibition is otherwise absolute.
Scope is the part of M7 runnable against the tree as it stands: whether a
base-free Bundle -> text -> Bundle round trip reproduces the original
image() bytes. That is M7's load-bearing assumption after round 10 and the
thing four paper designs never established. Result and complete diff
recorded, branch discarded, nothing merged.
Explicitly not authorised: any S27 implementation (no BundleCapabilities,
no capabilities(), no pin 3a validation, no CanonicalBaseRequiresRebuild,
none of tests 1 through 10b); any staging or commit on main beyond this
contract's own rows; any pin, test, gate, mutation or touch-table change
arising from the probe without its own review round. The probe produces
evidence, not amendments.
Recorded as evidence in its own right: M7 as written cannot be executed
until S27 has landed. BundleCapabilities and
CURRENT_REDUCTION_ALGORITHM_VERSION do not exist in the tree -- they are
S27's own deliverables -- and M7 step 1 requires a base committed under the
real authority. M7 is a mutation of this rung's implementation, and
mutations run after the rung, not before it. The probe therefore tests the
round-trip machinery M7 depends on, not M7.
The probe is base-free, so it removes no refusals: both
project_text_document and serialize_document gate on
canonical_base.is_some(). It touches none of pin 3b's guards, cannot leave
one unrestored, and leaves the live no-canonical-base constraint intact.
Still NOT RATIFIED, NOT DISPATCHABLE. Pins unchanged.
