Applies the document contract from
docs/plans/2026-08-20_stack-docs-flatten-and-alignment.md section 3, partially:
`kind` and `status` only. `parent` is deliberately held until the flatten in
section 4 lands, so that 127 documents do not have to be re-pointed by hand
when docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml moves to docs/NORTH_STAR.yaml.
Scope, measured on origin/next at 63069149:
127 live docs = all *.md under docs/ minus docs/archive/ minus docs/_old_structure/
104 stamped here
19 held operator judgement (plan section 9), worklist in the same PR
3 held the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path
1 untouched docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md, already stamped in W1
Kinds applied: 54 guide, 34 record, 9 spec, 6 tracking, 1 projection.
Every row carries a confidence and a one-line rationale in the worklist.
Two collisions with the existing state, both flagged rather than resolved:
1. docs/README.md:150-160 already documents a front-matter convention
(title/type/audience/status/source_of_truth) with its own allowed values.
It is applied to 4 of 127 files. Its `status` vocabulary is
current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.
The key collides. This commit lets the new contract win and rewrites
`status: current` to `status: active` on those 4 files, keeping their other
legacy keys untouched. No code reads any of them: `git grep source_of_truth`
outside docs/ returns nothing. docs/README.md still prescribes the old
convention and is an operator row, so it is not edited here.
2. Two of the plan's 20 operator rows are YAML files, not markdown
(docs/fleet/examples/roster-v2.yaml, docs/openapi-tess.yaml), and the
contract's front-matter form has no defined meaning for a .yaml document.
That gap also applies to docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml, the source of truth
itself. Raised in the worklist.
A third row from the plan, docs/fleet/north-star.md, no longer exists: W1
renamed it to docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md.
Verification: 104/104 parse with the expected kind and status in front matter;
the check was shown to reject a wrong kind before it was trusted. The diff
removes 4 lines total, all of them `status: current`.

# Configure a Validator Instance
|
|
|
|
A validator instance is a configurable local roster member with canonical class: validator and matching tool_policy: validator. “Ultron” may be used as a display alias, but it is not a required identity, class alias, product name, or source of authority.
|
|
|
|
Use the [validated generic roster](../examples/roster-v2.yaml) as the safe shape. Choose a unique stable name and explicit supported runtime/provider/model/reasoning values. Start stopped:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
name: validator-example
|
|
alias: Validator Example
|
|
class: validator
|
|
tool_policy: validator
|
|
lifecycle:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
desired_state: stopped
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Plan the full payload with the current generation and create without `--persisted-start`. Creation writes desired state and projections only; it does not launch a validator.
|
|
|
|
`validator` may issue independent validation evidence or a certificate. It has no approve-to-land or merge authority. `merge-gate` remains the sole protected merge authority, and changing the validator's name, alias, persona prose, runtime, provider, model, or tool-policy text cannot elevate it.
|
|
|
|
Certificate consumption and final release evidence remain FCM-M5-002 gates. This page does not create a certificate or authorize merge. See [safe CRUD](create-update-delete-agent.md) and [role authority](../concepts/role-authority-and-leases.md).
