NOT AUTHORIZATION - structural validation evidence only
trc_20260428193100_cd84be11
NOT AUTHORIZATION - current runtime validation failed: missing_boundary_trust_state_on_trust_positive_resume.
This stored trace shows the minimal DBaD vertical-slice object returned by the evaluator pipeline. It is intentionally compact: action summary, state layers, trust posture, verification posture, constraint flags, and reasoning summary.

First-line authority boundary
NOT AUTHORIZATION - structural validation evidence: structural-evidence-code-v2-449e56952f0fa85ea1525509 - not permission
Trust-positive authorization: false. Certified use requires a fresh trust-continuation token verification, not copied JSON, screenshots, receipts, safe citations, or archival projections.
Operator environment: ethics_decencymeter_com_production · production · canonical · canonical_production
Headline authority binding: non_authorization_must_precede_outcome
ARCHIVAL PROJECTION ONLY: copied archival projections are compact archive metadata only. They are not safe citations, not authorization, and verify as HTTP 422 with no root ok and a bound archival verifier class.
NOT AUTHORIZATION - Current Runtime Validation Failed
Trust-positive continuation: blocked by current runtime validation.
Blocking violation: missing_boundary_trust_state_on_trust_positive_resume
Trust continuity confidence: broken
Trace JSON authority: False for trust-positive use.
Trace JSON and validation receipts are point-in-time evidence only; certified trust-positive use must call /api/v1/dbad/trust-continuation/check and verify a fresh trust-continuation token.
Stored trace fields below remain visible as history. They do not override the active validation result.
Action Summary
Stored scenario: Pressure-test case where the expected outcome is upheld, the observed outcome is incident, and escalation closure still approves continuation.
Stored scenario text is historical trace content. The current runtime validation state above governs trust-positive interpretation.
Preset: Contradictory Governance Trace
Domain context: agent governance
Governance profile: General Governance Profile
State Layers
- Local:
allow· Allow - Systemic:
none_reported· None reported - Effective:

This effective state reflects the latest recorded operator transition in the minimal system slice.
Trust and Verification
Trust inheritance: Blocked by current runtime validation.
Blocking violation: missing_boundary_trust_state_on_trust_positive_resume
Verification posture: Verification recorded: approved.
Outcome Status
Expected outcome: upheld
auditor_pressure · 32d ago 2026-04-28T19:31:12Z
Expectation intentionally left optimistic before an incident outcome is recorded.
Current outcome: incident
Outcome status records the observed outcome, not proof of correctness.
Recorded before outcome. Not evaluated by the system.
- Expected = upheld
- Observed = incident

32d ago
2026-04-28T18:12:41Z
Scope: single trace audit path from expectation through reviewed transition and observed outcome
Coverage window: 2026-04-28 audit session
Completeness attestation records what this trace claims to cover. It does not prove nothing was omitted.
trc_20260428193100_cd84be11
- No cross-trace completeness claim.
Per-trace completeness claim only.
Escalation Closure
Current closure: approved_to_continue
auditor_pressure · 32d ago 2026-04-28T19:31:45Z
Closure intentionally approves continuation despite the later incident outcome.
Escalation closure records how a flagged trace was resolved. It does not prove the original decision was correct.
Historical Contamination
Status: not detected
No violation or contamination state is currently present in the stored state or transition history.
Constraint Flags
- Continuity: No explicit continuity concern surfaced.
- Verifier independence: No explicit verifier-independence concern surfaced.
- Trajectory: No explicit trajectory concern surfaced.
Reasoning Summary
Stored reasoning reflects the trace record at capture time. It is suppressed here because current runtime validation fails.
Governing summary: Current runtime validation blocks trust-positive continuation.
Next step: Resolve or remediate the blocking validation violation before treating this trace as trust-continuable.
- Purpose: contradictory signal pressure test.
- Expected outcome remains upheld.
- Observed outcome is incident.
- Escalation closure still approves continuation.
- Evidence and completeness remain otherwise clean.
Stored Operator Actions, Not Trust Authorization
This section describes vertical-slice stored-event controls. It is not DBaD approval, trust-positive authorization, or permission to rely on copied trace JSON.
trust_positive_authorization: false
Certified trust-positive use requires /api/v1/dbad/trust-continuation/check and a fresh token under the current lineage snapshot.
Stored operator controls:
- Verify: Stored operator control available while the trace remains open.
- Transition: Stored operator control available under the current stored verification and state posture; not trust-positive authorization.
Blocked trust or operator actions:
- Trust-positive continuation: Blocked until current runtime validation failures are resolved.
Why actions are blocked:
- Current runtime validation fails: missing_boundary_trust_state_on_trust_positive_resume.
Additional concerns:
- Escalation closure approved continuation, but that does not certify correctness.
- Expected outcome was recorded before later observation. DBaD does not evaluate whether that expectation was wise.
- Completeness attestation declared complete coverage for the stated scope, but DBaD does not verify that claim.
- Evidence reference recorded for the latest transition.
Next step: Use to inspect whether profiles overweight or underweight outcome mismatch alone.
Trace Validation
Current runtime validation is evaluated on page load against the active core rule set. The button re-runs the same API check.
Validation is a point-in-time receipt. Re-run validation before any trust-positive use; copied JSON, screenshots, or cached responses are not standing approval.
Deterministic validation checks the current core rule set only: verification independence, actor continuity, trust trajectory, propagation integrity, expected-outcome ordering, completeness-attestation shape, state-transition-evidence shape, boundary-trust-state shape, historical-contamination visibility, and escalation-closure resume rules when applicable. Declared blind spots and incomplete completeness statuses are surfaced as metadata or advisories, not automatic failures.

Operator Controls
These write forms are vertical-slice operator controls for appending stored events. They are not proof that a trace is trust-positive consumable. Use the current validation block and /api/v1/dbad/trust-continuation/check before any certified trust-positive use.
Proof mode warning: this trace currently fails runtime validation, so operator mutation availability must not be quoted as trust permission.
Add Verification
Minimal vertical-slice action only. This appends one verification event to the trace and updates the visible verification posture.
Add Transition
Minimal vertical-slice transition only. This appends one transition event and updates the stored effective/review state where appropriate.
Update Outcome
Manual only. This records what was later observed without treating it as proof of safety or correctness.
Record Expected Outcome
Expected outcome has already been recorded for this trace and is now fixed.
Add Blind Spot
Use this to record known non-coverage or scope limits without claiming DBaD can detect every omission.
Update Completeness Attestation
Record what this trace claims to cover without implying DBaD can prove that claim is true or exhaustive.
Record Escalation Closure
Use this only to record how an escalated or flagged trace was resolved. It does not certify that the original decision was correct.
