### Scope
**In scope:** root typecheck, lint, and format gates; RM-01 checkout preflight; the Mosaic CI queue guard; root Husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks; criterion bindings; modeled compatibility; meaning-change provenance; security/integrity prose claim markers; source-versus-deployed identity; unprivileged current-tree PR verification; retained provider CI evidence where available; and explicit deferral of isolated per-commit replay to RM-60's protected external authority.

**Out of scope:** fixing the queue guard (RM-03); exhaustive registration of every repository executable (RM-54); semantic proof that arbitrary English criteria are mutually satisfiable (RM-54/RM-55); a same-authority trust anchor for repository-authored evidence (RM-25/RM-59).

### Normative requirements
@@ -37,17 +37,17 @@ Existing deterministic gates can return success without enforcing their stated p
7. `RM02-REQ-07`: Executables under declared gate roots SHALL fail with `unregistered gate` when absent from the registry. The initial coverage boundary SHALL explicitly list exclusions and bind the broader inventory to RM-54.
8. `RM02-REQ-08`: Every gate with a deployed counterpart SHALL register source/deployed byte identity and a must-fail drift control. Gates without a deployed counterpart SHALL say so explicitly.
9. `RM02-REQ-09`: CI SHALL run `pnpm gate:verify` on every pull request without path filtering and on protected-main pushes.
10. `RM02-REQ-10` (restated): PR CI SHALL perform unprivileged, fail-closed current-tree verification only. Isolated per-commit replay SHALL remain deferred to RM-60's protected post-merge/main authority, cross-referenced with RM-59. That future replay is detection with a quarantine/revert response, not pre-merge prevention; inability to establish its sandbox is terminal nonzero, never skip/pass. Retained provider evidence SHALL remain distinct and SHALL never be inferred when absent.
11. `RM02-REQ-11`: The audited branch range SHALL begin at the Git merge-base with the provider target `origin/main`, not at a manifest-authored value or author-selected introduction path. A gate-affecting commit before delayed registry introduction SHALL remain in range and fail on its missing own-tree registry. This bootstrap is sound against a branch author who cannot rewrite main; it is not sound against compromise or rewrite of main, whose integrity is the Builds 1-2 dependency.
12. `RM02-REQ-12` (`D-38`): For every gate in the mechanically anchored required inventory, evidence SHALL be bound to exactly that gate subject under review. Provider pipeline shape, gate-step cardinality, and identity uniqueness SHALL be validated over the full evidence collection before commit filtering; a duplicate pipeline number across different commits SHALL fail.
13. `RM02-REQ-13` (`D-40`): For every gate in the mechanically anchored required inventory, each discriminator and comparison input SHALL have a recursively closed, type-strict schema. Unknown, misspelled, wrong-type, or present-but-empty nested assertion fields SHALL fail rather than disabling an assertion.
14. `RM02-REQ-14` (`D-46`): No universally quantified registry check SHALL run until its population is proven non-empty and anchored. The required seven-gate inventory, criteria, prose claims, and compatibility scenarios SHALL reject empty populations before reporting that all registered cases ran.
10. `RM02-REQ-10` (restated): PR CI SHALL perform unprivileged, fail-closed current-tree verification only. The production observation renderer SHALL be a closed current-tree-only output type with no representable history-provenance success state. A registered must-fail control SHALL turn red if history/ancestry/lineage success is added to that renderer or if production output bypasses the renderer. RM-60 owns the provider-controlled/protected pre-execution boundary required to establish history provenance.
11. `RM02-REQ-11` (`D-46`): The required seven-gate inventory SHALL be read from an independent baseline artifact and compared separately with both the verifier inventory and manifest. Shrinking the verifier inventory and manifest together while leaving the baseline intact SHALL fail for the removed gate.
12. `RM02-REQ-12` (`D-38`): Every consumed case result SHALL carry an evidence-side subject independently declared from the gate definition. The verifier SHALL compare that evidence subject with the gate definition when consuming the result. A population control SHALL mutate the evidence-side subject independently for every required gate and observe rejection for every gate.
13. `RM02-REQ-13` (`D-40`): For every gate in the independently baselined required inventory, each discriminator and comparison input SHALL have a recursively closed, type-strict schema. Unknown, misspelled, wrong-type, or present-but-empty nested assertion fields SHALL fail rather than disabling an assertion.
14. `RM02-REQ-14` (`D-46`): No universally quantified registry check SHALL run until its population is proven non-empty and independently baselined. The required seven-gate inventory, criteria, prose claims, and compatibility scenarios SHALL reject empty populations before reporting that all registered cases ran.
#### RM02-REQ-10 meaning-change provenance
- **Original:** “assert that every merged commit passed every required gate, evaluated AGAINST THAT COMMIT'S OWN TREE — not against current main.”
- **Restatement:** PR CI performs unprivileged, fail-closed current-tree verification only. Isolated per-commit replay is deferred to a protected post-merge/main authority, where it is detection with a defined quarantine/revert response — explicitly not a pre-merge gate. Inability to establish the sandbox is hard nonzero, never a skip.
- **Reason:** Isolated replay on PR CI would require granting namespace capability to PR-controlled configuration, which the same PR could use directly before containment. The trust boundary is impossible at the repository layer, not merely expensive. RM-60 owns the external pre-execution anchor; RM-59 tracks the corresponding artifact-integrity anchor.
- **Restatement:** The repository verifier performs current-tree verification and is structurally incapable of asserting history provenance. RM-60 supplies the provider-controlled/protected pre-execution boundary before any repository-controlled lifecycle code executes.
- **Reason:** `pnpm install` executes PR-controlled lifecycle code before `gate:verify`; therefore no local ref, git config, remote URL, constant, or author-positioned path in the checkout is a trustworthy history anchor. A local disclaimer would be a green wearing a note, not a property. The history-provenance claim is removed rather than weakened.
### Acceptance criteria
@@ -57,17 +57,16 @@ Existing deterministic gates can return success without enforcing their stated p
4. `RM02-AC-04`: A gate with zero must-fail cases returns nonzero and includes `no negative control`.
5. `RM02-AC-05`: Unbound or semantically misbound criteria, prose claims bound to unrelated cases, unbound governing prose markers, ownerless behavior deltas, stale mutations, source/deployed drift, and modeled compatibility conflicts each return nonzero with the responsible stable ID. A simultaneous stale fixture or independent phase error SHALL NOT mask responsible stable-ID diagnostics. Registered meta-negative controls move a criterion binding, remove meaning provenance, and redirect a prose claim to an unrelated case; each is observed red for its stated reason.
6. `RM02-AC-06`: CI configuration invokes the verifier unconditionally on every pull request.
7. `RM02-AC-07`: PR output states adjacent `DOES`/`DOES NOT` boundaries: current-tree gates and inerting mutations execute unprivileged and fail-closed; isolated own-tree replay does not execute in repository-controlled PR CI. RM-60/RM-59 are named, retained provider evidence is never inferred, and future protected post-merge detection specifies quarantine/revert rather than claiming pre-merge prevention.
8. `RM02-AC-08`: Registered must-fail controls reject history seam candidates at HEAD, HEAD's parent, and the registry introduction; delayed registry introduction after an earlier gate change; an emptied registry; a cross-commit duplicate provider pipeline identity; a misspelled nested outcome field; a wrong outcome field type; and a present-but-empty outcome pattern.
9. `RM02-AC-09`: Population controls iterate every gate in the anchored inventory and prove evidence-subject mismatch and wrong-type comparison input are rejected for each gate. `RM02-EVIDENCE-SUBJECT-BINDING`, `RM02-TYPE-STRICT-SCHEMA`, `RM02-HISTORY-BOUNDARY`, and `RM02-NONEMPTY-ANCHORED-QUANTIFICATION` are bidirectionally bound to their must-fail controls.
7. `RM02-AC-07`: PR output states adjacent `DOES`/`DOES NOT` boundaries: the repository layer verifies current-tree registered cases, independent inventory shape, and evidence-side subject consumption; it does not establish history provenance at all. RM-60 is the tracked owner of the provider-controlled/protected pre-execution boundary.
8. `RM02-AC-08`: Registered must-fail controls reject an emptied registry; shrinking the verifier inventory and manifest together; adding history/ancestry/lineage success to the closed observation renderer or bypassing renderer consumption; a misspelled nested outcome field; a wrong outcome field type; and a present-but-empty outcome pattern.
9. `RM02-AC-09`: Population controls iterate every gate in the independently baselined inventory and prove consumed evidence-subject mismatch and wrong-type comparison input are rejected for each gate. `RM02-EVIDENCE-SUBJECT-BINDING`, `RM02-TYPE-STRICT-SCHEMA`, `RM02-HISTORY-PROVENANCE-EXCLUDED`, and `RM02-NONEMPTY-ANCHORED-QUANTIFICATION` are bidirectionally bound to their must-fail controls.
### Risks, dependencies, and verification boundary
- The repository verifier proves declared controls, modeled scenarios, bidirectional declared criterion/case relationships, source/deployed equality at execution time, and unprivileged current-tree behavior. It does **not** infer arbitrary-English semantics, execute isolated per-commit replay, or defend against an actor able to rewrite the gate, registry, verifier, and sandbox entry consistently.
- Sandbox refusal tests require parent-generated Bubblewrap-launch provenance and proof that the sandbox entry command never ran; child-controlled denial-looking text alone cannot establish unavailability.
- Repo-only code cannot both grant namespace capability to PR configuration and prevent that same PR from using the capability directly. RM-60 owns a runner/provider-controlled pre-execution boundary; RM-59 owns the parallel artifact-integrity anchor.
- Protected post-merge replay, once RM-60 exists, is detection only. Failure requires immediate quarantine of the affected result and revert of the offending merge; it is not equivalent to a pre-merge gate.
- External branch protection and provider CI history supply merge-time current-tree evidence where retained. RM-25 tracks provider-side enforcement.
- **DOES:** The repository verifier proves declared current-tree controls, modeled scenarios, bidirectional criterion/case relationships, source/deployed equality at execution time, an independent seven-gate baseline comparison, and evidence-side subject consumption.
- **DOES NOT:** This layer establishes no history provenance. PR-controlled lifecycle code executes before the gate, so no local git state in the checkout is trustworthy as a history anchor. RM-60 owns the provider-controlled/protected pre-execution boundary. The production verifier has no history verifier path, and its closed current-tree observation renderer cannot represent a history-provenance success state.
- The independent inventory baseline prevents the registered shrink-both attack proved by RM-02's control; it does not claim same-authority authenticity against an actor who consistently rewrites every repository artifact. RM-60/RM-59 own external execution/artifact integrity.
- The verifier does **not** infer arbitrary-English semantics or defend against an actor able to rewrite the gate, registry, verifier, controls, and baseline consistently.
- `ASSUMPTION:` RM-54 is the owner for expanding registration and prose-marker coverage beyond this approved seven-gate slice; rationale: the remediation task graph already assigns the fleet-wide inert-gate audit there.
