**Last updated:** 2026-04-02

## Status
- **First review cycle COMPLETE** — 13 findings produced, all classified HOLD
- **Overall assessment:** L2 is alpha, not ready for deployment
- **9 of 13 findings RESOLVED** in session 2026-04-01/02
- **4 remaining** — all design/long-horizon work

## Resolved Findings

| Finding | Resolution | Commit |
|---------|-----------|--------|
| F-0 (HOLD threshold) | ICP-19 Amendment — severity + per-se categories. Reviewer classifies, steward 14-day downgrade | d7f8298 |
| F-1 acknowledge | ACK-001 in acknowledgments register | d7f8298 |
| F-2 (immutability) | Option C — Stratified Amendment Protocol. Asymmetric burden: additive/clarifying standard, weakening enhanced+ICP-19, removal enhanced+ICP-19+Denkraum | 1533547 |
| F-3 (selection criteria) | Canonical document: 5 disqualifying + 3 weighting criteria | 96dc93e |
| F-4 (DEGRADE) | Mapped to DEFER with resolution-path disambiguation. Reconciliation note in v0.3 | a47902d |
| F-5 (enforcement gaps) | enforcement_status: deferred. Per-dependency disposition. Research vs schedulable distinguished | 1533547 |
| F-6 (Consolidation SPOF) | Degradation protocol: entries hold at appraisal, recall at reduced confidence, retroactive re-eval on recovery | 9117a8f |
| F-7 (means_of_knowing) | §3.5 acknowledgment with term mapping, authority-loss note, enforcement checkpoint update | 96dc93e |
| F-8 (I5 DeclarationRecord) | I5 added to DeclarationRecord §4.1, §4.3, §4.5 | 96dc93e |
| F-10 (contamination) | Elevated to structural preamble in FINDINGS.md | d7f8298 |
| F-12 (constitutive seam) | Position C + ICP-19 mandate + 4 triggers including 18-month backstop (Oct 2027) | 9117a8f |

## Remaining (4 findings)

| Finding | Nature | Horizon | Priority |
|---------|--------|---------|----------|
| F-9 (CURATION-MAP) | DESIGN — classification protocol for review-orienting artifacts | Medium | Tractable |
| F-11 (Freeman trigger) | DESIGN — urgency trigger/review cadence | Medium-Long | Low (maps to DN-PHIL-001) |
| F-1 design (succession) | DESIGN — steward succession mechanism | Long | Founders Circle dependent |
| ICP-19 Open Item 3 | DECIDE — "governed operations" scope | Medium | Tractable |

## New Canonical Documents (this session)

- `invariant-selection-criteria.md` — 8 criteria for registry elevation
- `stratified-amendment-protocol.md` — amendment lifecycle governance
- `consolidation-engine-degradation-protocol.md` — runtime degradation
- `constitutive-seam-boundary-governance-position.md` — Position C + triggers
- `governance/acknowledgments.md` — ACK-001 (steward SPOF)

## Review Artifacts

- `governance/reviewer/FINDINGS.md` — 13 findings
- `governance/reviewer/L2-CORPUS-AUDIT-REPORT.md` — pre-review audit
- `governance/reviewer/CLAUDE.md` — reviewer agent config (anonymized)
- `governance/reviewer/TRIAGE-2026-04-01.md` — triage document

## Key Decisions Made

- **HOLD threshold:** hybrid severity/category. Reviewer classifies, steward retains 14-day downgrade
- **Invariant nature:** Durable commitments, costly to revise (Option C). Neither irrevocable nor preferences
- **Constitutive seam:** Named boundary, held open (Position C). 18-month backstop
- **Enforcement gaps:** Deferred status, not debts or aspirations
- **Consolidation failure:** Graceful degradation with retroactive re-eval
