"""Epistemic Grade Policy — typed status surface per ADR-0021. `EpistemicStatus` is a *position in the revision graph*, not a trust tier. Source labels (peer_consensus, outsider_empirical, established, unauthoritative) are deliberately not part of this enum — they would re-import the bias ADR-0021 refuses. The four positions form an open lattice under review. No member carries a "hardened" or "permanent" flag (non-hardening invariant, ADR-0021 §2). Every claim remains revisable; a Stage-3 inversion path is always available for `FALSIFIED` claims.

Coherence is the only admission signal (ADR-0021 §3): a status is a function of coherence with the existing reviewed field, never of source authority, credentials, or the system's own asserted output.

ADR-0021's "Named gap (v2 work)" commits to replacing curator mediation with a structural coherence metric; one arm of that successor (proof-carrying promotion for the deductively *entailed* subclass, via the sound ``deductive_logic_v1`` engine) is specified but not yet wired — see ``docs/issues/proof-carrying-coherence-promotion.md``.
