justification:
  VALUES INVOKED: integrity, witness-fidelity, fail-closed canon, transparency
  REASONING: C-401 federation scan confirms rollover and Track R doc merge while production promotion remains unauthorized. Records gate decision, agent observability debt, and cycle.json drift for custodian action.
  ANCHORS:
    - docs/epicon/cycles/C-401/C401_FEDERATION_SCAN_REPORT.md
    - docs/epicon/cycles/C-401/C401_COLLISION_RESOLUTION_TABLE.json
    - docs/epicon/cycles/C-400/C400_FEDERATION_SCAN_REPORT.md
  BOUNDARIES: Documentation only. No KV mutation. No integrity-gate change.
  COUNTERFACTUAL: If live collision count != 125, regenerate witness before promotion.
counterfactuals:
  - If ZEUS dispute resolves to OVERTURN, update gate decision before step 6
  - If cycle.json sync contradicts live API, prefer live API in witness
