Ratified on the repository owner's authority. Nineteen adversarial review
rounds, 65 findings, 47 blocking, and a clean independent round at the end
-- the criterion named at round 11.
The pins are now frozen: executed, not edited. A defect found during
execution is reported, not patched in place.
Round 1's ratification was withdrawn and the distinction matters. It was
claimed after a single round, and round 2 found four more blocking defects
against the supposedly frozen text, two of them introduced by round 1's own
amendments. This one rests on a different footing.
Recorded at the top of the status block so it cannot be missed, what
ratification does not settle: M7's authority/base leg is unverifiable until
this rung is implemented, since BundleCapabilities and
CURRENT_REDUCTION_ALGORITHM_VERSION are its own deliverables; and every
gate, test and mutation is specified while none has been run. Nineteen
rounds went into the claim that they can be run and that their results would
be evidential. Execution is what tests that claim.
Execution is authorised under §6 with its boundaries unchanged: stage only
§2's files by explicit path, never git add -A, re-check HEAD before staging,
and never reset/restore/checkout/stash. The work is left STAGED, not
committed, and the execution report is subject to independent review before
completion is accepted -- covering in particular M7's three observations and
its control. The document's quality came from the independent rounds; the
report gets the same treatment.
The round-17 probe exception is marked superseded rather than deleted. Its
result falsified round 10 and is cited throughout M7, and its standing is
unchanged: evidence for M7's prerequisite, not a demonstration of
laundering, because it carried no base.
