+## REVIEWED-112 — PENDING-118 — The deferred-decision checker is structurally blind to every archived deferral
+**Date:** 2026-08-08
+**Decision:** AUTHORIZED — the widening, with the honest limit that building it exposed. D-1 lane, authorized verbally; RECORDED RETROSPECTIVELY.
+**Notes:** The item's own option (1) was refuted by implementation. It claimed the checker already parses the archive's format; it does not — the
+marker is an HTML comment, there are zero in either register file, and their deferrals are prose (53 in PENDING.md, 26 in the archive). Widening
+alone would have found nothing and reported clean, which is the silent net the item was filed to describe, specified as its own remedy.
+
+1. Widening ships with its limit stated in the output: structured blocks found anywhere in the register; prose deferrals counted and reported
+un-machine-readable, never as absent. Counting is not classifying — 88 is an upper bound on candidates, and how many carry a fired condition is a
+reading task, reported unestablished.
+
+2. Three controls added per the script's standard: the counter fires on a known-present phrase, stays silent on unrelated text, and the register
+files are provably inside the widened scan.
+
+3. Closes: the checker no longer reads only docs/**, and the register's prose deferrals are visible as a named unknown. Does not close: the
+classification. Size was "unmeasured, deliberately"; it is now bounded and still unclassified — better, not finished.
