# REVIEWED.md — Steward Authorization Record **Protocol:** David and Claude.app write here after reviewing PENDING items. Claude Code reads this at session start. --- ## REVIEWED-1 — Executor Agency Directive for CLAUDE.md **Date:** 2026-03-21 **Decision:** AUTHORIZED **Notes:** Accepted as written with one addition: insert explicit one-sentence description of the specific failure mode ("accept self-assessment of criticality") immediately after the contamination problem reference. Steward to apply to ~/CLAUDE.md. This proposal is itself evidence the directive is already operative — the executor used the authorization taxonomy correctly on a change affecting its own behavior. ## REVIEWED-2 — Silent Degradation Audit **Date:** 2026-03-21 **Decision:** AUTHORIZED — commence after PR merges. Option 1 (full audit, concentrated). Produce findings document for steward review before any implementation. ## REVIEWED-3 — Factory Schema Idempotency (checkpoint.ts, dedup.ts) **Date:** 2026-03-21 **Decision:** ACKNOWLEDGED — already in PR scope. The executor's decision to extend the fix to the actual error source (checkpoint.ts) rather than the originally specified file (job-store.ts) is the correct application of "diagnose the class, not the instance." Note this in PR description. ## REVIEWED-11 — Approve I15 (ICP-9 Pilot Registry Entry) **Date:** 2026-03-23 **Decision:** AUTHORIZED **Notes:** I15 approved as pilot registry entry. l1_contamination_profile field ratified as mandatory for all non-contingent principles. Schema commitment is prospective — all future Cluster A/B entries must include this field. residual_risk field decision deferred pending evidence from pilot operation.your annotation] ## REVIEWED-12 — Lodge Design Notes DN-GOV-01 through DN-GOV-04 **Date:** 2026-03-23 **Decision:** AUTHORIZED **Notes:** DN-GOV-03 requires separate declaration before elevation. DN-GOV-04 is tooling, iterate freely. ## REVIEWED-13 — DN-GOV-05, DN-GOV-06, DN-GOV-07 (Threshold Inquiry Cluster) **Date:** 2026-03-28 **Decision:** AUTHORIZED with jurist additions **Notes:** **DN-GOV-05 (Bounded Self-Repair Principle):** Authorized as DESIGN COMMITMENT. Four-condition framework (reversibility, within parameters, independent verifiability, steward-legible framing) is sound. **Suspension clause:** enforcement mechanics not active until AF-7 reaches design commitment status. The principle is named and load-bearing in constitutional reasoning; it does not authorize autonomous self-repair actions until external review is constitutionally specified. **DN-GOV-06 (Temporal Authorization Shift):** Authorized as DESIGN COMMITMENT. Mechanism constraints (never reaches amendment, never creates new authority, always conservative direction, no compounding) are correctly specified. **Suspension clause:** same as GOV-05 — not active until AF-7 reaches design commitment status. **Additional constraint (jurist):** temporal shift may not be invoked to justify actions that would not pass the GOV-05 four-condition test in a non-time-pressured context. Time pressure is a trigger, not a relaxation of conditions. **DN-GOV-07 (The Threshold Already Crossed):** Authorized as FRAMING DOCUMENT. The "threshold already crossed" observation is entered into the constitutional record as an accurate description of current practice. It does not authorize further crossings. Two additions: 1. Working framing ("conditions of trustworthy service") is **explicitly provisional** — may be revised by L1 maturation evidence, Chamber Phase 3+ evidence, or steward philosophical judgment. 2. **Counter-norm on inherited legitimacy:** the fact that a threshold has been crossed does not create precedent for further crossings. Each additional autonomy claim requires fresh warrant, not inherited legitimacy from the prior crossing. **Cross-cluster consequence:** AF-7 (External Review) is escalated from resolution brief to urgently load-bearing. AF-7 reaching design commitment status is the condition for the GOV-05/06 suspension clause to lift. AF-7 design note should be the next constitutional work item after I17. ## REVIEWED-14 — DN-GOV-08: Constitutional Stabilization, Not Automation of Recognition **Date:** 2026-03-28 **Decision:** AUTHORIZED — entered as ACTIVE constitutional record **Notes:** L2 constitutes boundary conditions for recognition; does not automate it. I3 is structural commitment, not capability limitation. Evaluation test added: any invariant touching recognition must be assessed against this commitment before hardening. Phase 3 placeholder (Talmudic chain of transmission, Traditionis) recorded — primary texts not yet in library, blocking condition explicit. Source: Chamber Phase 1, Essay I. ## REVIEWED-15 — I17: Precedence of Present Expression **Date:** 2026-03-28 **Decision:** AUTHORIZED **Notes:** Full registry entry following I15 pilot schema. Four-source convergence (Levinas, Fricker, Leopardi, Harrison). Anti-model-disambiguation clause incorporated per adversarial review. Jurist's design question resolved constitutionally: the system does not distinguish genuine divergence from momentary aberration — the interlocutor does. DN-GOV-08 evaluation test passed: I17 holds open the space for recognition, does not generate a recognition-outcome. Jurist's required amendment (RA-I17-01) incorporated before authorization: noting-frequency drift markers, noting-as-model-assertion constraint, noting threshold as human-declaration requirement. I3 category limit explicitly connected to the correct-model/wrong-expression asymmetry. Forward dependency to vector module governance amendment threaded. L1 contamination profile: critical, monotonic.
