Vault, language-packs, and runtime-packs audits complete. Findings:
- Ratifies INFERRED (14th epistemic state): derived from DECODED
primitives by ratified deterministic rule; composite never curated.
Grounded by language_packs composition rules (per/square/cubic unit
synthesis). Sits between DECODED and UNVERIFIED-POSSIBLE in the
epistemic progression.
- Ratifies normative clearance axis as orthogonal companion to the
epistemic axis. Safety/ethics verdicts are not epistemic states;
they answer a different question (normative compliance vs. truth-
value). Four clearance states: CLEARED, VIOLATED, UNASSESSABLE,
SUPPRESSED. Every proposition in ChatResponse/TurnEvent carries
both an epistemic_state and a normative_clearance tag.
- Closes open question 5 (identity/safety/ethics interaction):
identity grounds the epistemic axis; safety/ethics live on the
normative axis; they coexist without collapsing.
- Updates RecognitionOutcome shape with both axes.
- Marks all four subsystem audits complete in Framing 1 block;
documents vault implementation debt (_status_admits conflation)
and deferred candidate (COMPOSED_RECOGNITION).
- Records four Phase 2 implementation bugs in summary:
evidence.py empty-pairs silent-FALSIFIED, runner DECODED-
UNARTICULATED misclassification, domain_contract present=False
inconsistency, _status_admits FALSIFIED/SPECULATIVE conflation.
Taxonomy is now stable. Phase 2 (bug fixes) and Phase 3 (first-class
state tagging in ChatResponse/TurnEvent) are the remaining work.
