+- `GATE VERIFY FAILED` — registry structure, observed behavior, provenance, claim binding, source/deployment identity, or negative-control detection changed. The verifier aggregates independent phase failures, so repair the responsible stable-ID diagnostics as well as any accompanying stale-fixture error; do not treat the generic error as a substitute.
 - `unregistered gate` — an executable appeared under a declared gate root without a registry entry.
 - `no negative control` — a gate has no must-fail case.
 - `DEPLOYED IDENTITY UNAVAILABLE` — the runner cannot reach the installed enforcing copy. The pinned observation is checked, but live equality is not asserted.

 The registry covers root typecheck, lint, and format checks; RM-01 checkout preflight; the Mosaic CI queue guard; and root Husky pre-commit/pre-push hooks. It does not imply repository-wide coverage. Framework scripts, package-local build/test scripts, templates, and deployment/release scripts remain assigned to RM-54.
 
-Every gate declares exact invocations, observed and required outcomes, criterion bindings, and a single exact inerting mutation. Every must-fail case requires a non-empty reason diagnostic.

 - Pipeline #2178 then proved the unprivileged Docker runner cannot establish Bubblewrap namespaces. A privileged experiment remained uncommitted and was rejected after Codex correctly rated it CRITICAL: PR-controlled code executes before an in-repository sandbox and could directly use the granted capability.
 - `mos-remediation` and `rev-974` independently ruled Option C. RM02-REQ-10 now retains its original text, restatement, and reason: PR CI verifies only the current tree, unprivileged and fail-closed; isolated own-tree replay is deferred to RM-60/#1031's external pre-execution authority, cross-referenced with RM-59. Future protected post-merge replay is detection with quarantine/revert, never pre-merge prevention.
 - RED-first boundary test proved the old path executed an inert intermediate verifier. The revised path states adjacent `DOES`/`DOES NOT` claims, validates historical manifest provenance without executing it, and infers no replay success. Direct sandbox tests remain hard-fail; unprivileged CI asserts terminal refusal instead of treating replay as success. Pipelines #2179/#2180/#2181 exposed two runner refusal forms: namespace denial as `spawnSync bwrap` with `error.code=EPERM`, and a test image without Bubblewrap as `error.code=ENOENT`. The replay diagnostic now preserves spawn errors. Parent-generated launcher/entry metadata distinguishes refusal before sandbox entry from child-controlled output; the detector recognizes exact `spawnSync bwrap` provenance for `EPERM`/`EACCES`/`ENOENT` and known namespace-refusal text only when the entry command provably did not run. Focused negative assertions reject unrelated `spawnSync git EPERM`, verifier output that merely says `bwrap ENOENT`, and exact namespace-denial impersonation without provenance or after sandbox entry.
+- Exact-head independent review at `38f1b249` found one valid diagnostic-masking blocker: canonical verification knew four stable-ID rebinding failures but a thrown stale fixture replacement reached the outer catch first and emitted only the generic error. RED-first reproduction confirmed the canonical path omitted both responsible criterion IDs. Verification now collects labeled failures independently across claims, discovery, deployment, case execution/outcome checks, mutation, and compatibility, preserving structural stable-ID failures alongside the stale-fixture signal. The canonical regression test requires both missing-binding IDs and the generic fixture error.
 - Exact-head independent review at `9b4d4beb` found two valid blockers. RED-first controls reproduced both: denial-looking child stderr was accepted as sandbox unavailability, and moving meaning/prose criterion IDs to an unrelated type-error case left `gate:verify` green. Bubblewrap execution now emits a parent-generated random entry marker and returns parent-owned launcher/entry metadata; unavailability requires Bubblewrap launcher provenance plus proof entry never ran, so exact denial impersonation from plain or entered-child results is rejected. Criterion objects now declare exact `caseRefs`, checked bidirectionally against case-side `criterionIds`; prose claims declare an exact must-fail `caseRef`. Registered must-fail cases move a criterion binding, remove meaning provenance, and redirect a prose claim, each producing its stable reason. The review freeze was deliberately lifted before remediation.
 - Option C security review reported no findings. Code review rejected an initial unrelated typecheck binding for the new security criterion. It was replaced with a dedicated registered `privileged-pr-gate` case: the fixture injects a privilege key into the gate step, the wiring control rejects it for that exact reason, and `gate:verify` observes the boundary negative control. Follow-up hardening uses a closed exact gate-step construction, rejects privilege across the entire pipeline, rejects non-canonical/merged YAML keys, and pins the unrestricted PR/main trigger block; quoted/escaped/alias/merge/duplicate/filter bypass tests pass. Final Codex code review approved with no findings.
