# 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.
