C401 GATE DECISION

C-401 Gate Decision — Federation Scan

Date: 2026-08-12
Classification: STRESSED · FAIL-CLOSED · RECONCILIATION IN PROGRESS
Authority: Custodian scan (no KV mutation)


Bottom line

C-401 is doing the right work: rollover succeeded, pointer repair holds, collision strategy is merged and honestly bounded. It has not earned authority to mutate the 125 collision records or lift the integrity gate.


Authorized now

  • Documentation and attestation workflows
  • ZEUS/EVE disposition on Track R strategy
  • Segment boundary dry-runs (read-only)
  • cycle.json canon maintenance (non-KV)

Forbidden now

  • Guarded or ad-hoc KV collision promotion
  • SEAL_INTEGRITY_GATE lift
  • Treating quorum completion as Track R ADOPT
  • Substituting micro GI (0.887) for primary GI (0.75)
