Amendment 1 (Ruling 4b, 2026-08-28): company visibility classes. The
directory exists so one shared company can serve many users instead of
each user creating a duplicate private company (Ruling 4b, webui-audit
lane, ruled 2026-08-27). §2.1 gains a `visibility` column; §2.8 defines
the two classes (`private`/`directory`), the directory's existence-only
disclosure, and the see-and-ask-to-join invariants; §5.2's mutation
enumeration gains the visibility change; §5.5 defines who may change
visibility (platform admins, plus a company-CRUD capability whose
definition is a follow-up amendment to contract 2 — until it ratifies,
admin-only); §6.1 and §6.9 add the witnesses; §6.7's existence-oracle
rule is scoped around the ratified directory carve-out. Top-level
creation (contract 3 §5.2) is unchanged and always yields a private
company.

estates, platform-projects, workspaces, hierarchy grants, their parentage,

8. **Company visibility classes (Ruling 4b).** Every company is exactly
one of two classes, carried by `visibility`:
- `private` (the default): the company is disclosed only to subjects
holding a grant on it or on a descendant — the resting state every
company is created in. Ruling 4 §5.2 open creation survives
unchanged: it creates private companies.
- `directory`: the company is listed in the deployment-wide company
directory. Directory listing discloses **existence, name, and slug
to every authenticated user — nothing else**: no subtree structure,
no roll-up aggregates, no workspace content, no grant or membership
information.
Visibility is disclosure, not authority. Content and structure access
to a directory-listed company still require explicit grants —
contract 2 §3.1 deny-by-default is unchanged, and the ownership model
(§4.4, contract 2 §4.3) is unchanged. The directory supports a
see-and-ask-to-join flow (Ruling 4b decision 5): an authenticated
user may request to join a directory-listed company. Two invariants
bind any implementation of that flow now, ahead of its own contract:
a join request confers no authority of any kind, and approval is
ordinary grant creation by an effective `owner` under contract 2 §4.1
— there is no other acceptance path. The flow's transport, storage,
and request lifecycle are a follow-up contract.

5. **Visibility administration (Ruling 4b decisions 23).** Changing
`companies.visibility` is a hierarchy mutation through the §5.1
command path, audited per §5.2 (the event carries the old and new
visibility values as its semantic content). It is authorized for
exactly two actor classes: platform admins (`users.role = 'admin'`)
and subjects holding the company-CRUD capability that a follow-up
amendment to contract 2 will define — until that amendment ratifies,
the capability class is empty and the command is admin-only.
A company `owner` as such may NOT change visibility: standard users
cannot publish a company into the directory. This is the one
hierarchy mutation a platform admin performs without holding a
hierarchy grant, and it is ratified here as instance administration
(directory curation) in contract 2 §1.1's sense, not tenant access:
the command mutates the single `visibility` column, reads no tenant
content, and confers no grant — contract 2 §1.1's
no-implicit-tenant-access rule is otherwise untouched. Top-level
company creation (contract 3 §5.2) always creates
`visibility = 'private'`; the creation command cannot set or change
visibility.

that reader's granted-structure reads); a directory-listed company's
subtree, aggregates, and content remain refused for a non-granted
reader (disclosure ≠ authority); the visibility command is refused

company — with the platform-admin accept control; top-level creation
yields `visibility = 'private'` and accepts no visibility argument;
