The jurist's pre-25th condition: confirm lowercasing happens at exactly one
point and is unit-tested against a known uppercase input.
Single point confirmed at derive_fool.py:79 — the only .lower()/.upper()/
casefold in the file. Four checks added, including a negative control proving
the test can fail. Selftest 16/16.
Checking it found the defect the condition was aimed at, in my own work: the
2026-08-22 dry run lowercased the value OUTSIDE the code and passed it in
already normalized, so the single normalization point was never exercised on
uppercase input in the only end-to-end run. The test's subject was the
pipeline; it excluded the step under scrutiny.
Re-run with the raw uppercase value through the real path reproduces the same
seed. Binding procedure added: on the 25th the outputValue is passed exactly
as served.
Jurist ruling on the URL correction recorded verbatim — no veto, with the
reasoning, since it will be read later.

§4 steps 1-4 discharged and pushed ahead of the 2026-08-25T12:00:00Z beacon:
ratified axes recorded in writing, seed derivation rule filed, retirement and
regeneration criteria filed, derivation implemented and self-tested.
Two values in the jurist's §6b block did not resolve, and both are corrected in
the open rather than absorbed:
- the provenance commit's stated rationale was false. 3b0730d5 (2026-08-06)
postdates the fool's conception by five days, its subject names the
PENDING-89 docket, and Constraint 6 is already in it. Steward directed
4d2ae87 (2026-07-28), where Constraint 6 occurs zero times.
- the retrieval URL returns HTTP 302 and an empty body, redirecting to an
HTML page. Filed verbatim, the 25th would have produced no pulse and the
UNAVAILABILITY clause would have run a 24-hour retry against an address
that can never return one. Found only because §6b directs a historical
dry run.
Also measured: outputValue is served UPPERCASE, so the rule's "lowercased
before use" is load-bearing; and curl reaches the beacon where python urllib
times out.
Nothing derived. Target pulse not fetched. CLAUDE.md untouched (PENDING-150).
