+# Gate0 Probe-3 Amendment — Owner Transparency Window (durable record)
+
+**Purpose.** Durable evidence (defined duration + closure) that the owner-transparency window on the
+probe-3 amendment **scope-correction** has a bounded, inspectable lifecycle — per homelab's GATE-A
+requirement (2026-07-18 18:13:14Z). This is NOT the owner's core authorization (that is durable in the
+amendment §1); it is the objection-window on the narrowing disclosed afterward.
+
+## What was disclosed
+The owner (Jason) explicitly authorized the amendment **class** — "amend the charter" (option B),
+`#mos` 2026-07-18 17:28Z (amendment §1). My initial narrowing was "D4-only"; on adjudication that proved
+non-executable (D4 intrinsically needs a promoted-to-VERIFIED baseline). The **corrected** scope
+(rev 2, pin `9ac9ff87`, §3) adds a *minimal promotion-to-VERIFIED as a test fixture only* (P5/P6 still
+excluded, P2 not banked as evidence). Because this adds a fixture step beyond the "D4-only" I first told
+the owner, I disclosed the correction to him for transparency.
+
+## Window (bounded, durable)
+- **Opened:** 2026-07-18T18:00:25Z  — anchored to the adjudicator's Discord scope-correction disclosure to the
+  owner (message id `1528099140100296736`, snowflake-decoded; not an informal estimate).
+- **Duration:** 2 hours (defined).
+- **Scheduled closure:** 2026-07-18T20:00:25Z.
+- **Closure condition (fail-closed):**
+  - No owner objection received by scheduled closure → window **CLOSED-CLEAR** (the disclosed correction
+    stands; it is within the already-granted class authorization).
+  - Any owner objection before closure → window does **NOT** clear → re-adjudicate the corrected scope.
+  - An affirmative owner "proceed" before closure → **early CLOSED-CLEAR** (recorded here).
+
+## Closure attestation
+Closure will be confirmed by a dated adjudicator tick appended below (and to the orchestration ledger)
+at/after 2026-07-18T20:00:25Z. Until that attestation exists, GATE A is OPEN and probe-3 execution stays HELD.
+
+- [ ] CLOSED-CLEAR attestation — to be recorded at/after 2026-07-18T20:00:25Z (or earlier on affirmative owner GO).
+
+*Adjudicator: Mos (`web1:mos-claude`). This record is durable and provider-inspectable alongside the
+amendment (`9ac9ff87`) and its RATIFICATION.md.*
