Authority Boundary

  • • A model proposal is not Operational Authority
  • • Human Gate approval is checked against the declared approval authority
  • • READY_TO_RESUME still requires explicit resume authority

Uncertainty Is Preserved

  • • DISPATCHING is persisted before the adapter performs an external effect
  • • A successful receipt without required readback becomes EFFECT_UNKNOWN
  • • Restart recovery moves incomplete dispatch responsibility to EFFECT_UNKNOWN without silent redispatch

Completion Rule

  • • Only VERIFIED can transition to COMPLETED
  • • Reconciliation may establish VERIFIED only with the required evidence
  • • Repair and Human Return preserve residual ownership rather than erasing it
