PR A of the stack specified by docs/issues/proof-carrying-coherence-promotion.md.
No runtime change; no promotion behavior; ADR-0218 is Proposed, not ratified.
- ADR-0218 (Proposed): rulings the issue Section 9 demands — extend the
existing mutation owner (policy decides in teaching/proof_promotion.py at
P3, only vault/store.py mutates), reading stays curator-certified in the
first cut, exact fail-closed admissibility predicate, certificate folds
into trace_hash. Records two substrate corrections: proof_chain Phase 2
(2.1-2.4) is already implemented, and ADR-0148 already automates an
energy-arm promotion.
- INV-29 (passing): epistemic-status transition sites are allowlisted.
ADR-0148's in-place promotion proved INV-21's AST scan cannot see
status transitions (they are not store() calls) — the boundary the
issue calls highest-risk did not actually cover the riskiest shape.
Allowlist pinned to {vault/store.py} BEFORE any promoter exists;
detector mutation-proven non-vacuous (29b/29c).
- Obligations O1-O5, O7 as strict xfail (executable spec; ImportError today;
strict=True forces the P3 PR to retire markers and pass for real) + three
honesty pins that flip red if promotion is wired without review.
Validation (worktree off main@187b008b, python -m pytest):
- tests/test_proof_carrying_promotion_obligations.py: 3 passed, 6 xfailed
- tests/test_architectural_invariants.py: 60 passed (56 prior + 4 INV-29)
- smoke file set: 94 passed
- proof_chain/entail/binding-graph/ADR-0148 set: 84 passed
- epistemic/teaching set: 40 passed
- scripts/verify_lane_shas.py: 8/9 pinned lanes match incl. deductive_logic_v1;
public_demo missed on the known env wall-clock budget flake (47.6s > 30s),
pre-existing and unrelated (diff is docs+tests only).
