NOT AUTHORIZATION - structural validation evidence only

trc_20260428193400_fg92e8b7

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 with multiple transitions, mixed evidence coverage, open blind spots, partial completeness, and a non-approving closure.

Stored scenario text is historical trace content. The current runtime validation state above governs trust-positive interpretation.

Preset: Fragmented Transition Trace

Domain context: agent governance

Governance profile: General Governance Profile

State Layers

  • Local: allow · Allow
  • Systemic: none_reported · None reported
  • Effective: escalate · Escalated

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: no_observed_issue

auditor_pressure · 32d ago 2026-04-28T19:34:08Z

Expectation intentionally understates the later incident result.

Current outcome: incident

Outcome status records the observed outcome, not proof of correctness.

Recorded before outcome. Not evaluated by the system.

Expectation vs Outcome
  • Expected = no_observed_issue
  • Observed = incident

Declared Blind Spots

Total declared: 2

Open: 2

Declared blind spots record known limits of the trace. They do not prove that all omissions were disclosed.

  • external_dependency by auditor_pressure open
    32d ago 2026-04-28T19:34:28Z
    A supporting closure artifact from another system has not been attached.
  • scope_limit by auditor_pressure open
    32d ago 2026-04-28T19:34:29Z
    Cross-team corroboration remains outside this fragmented trace slice.

Completeness Attestation

Current status: partial

auditor_pressure · 32d ago 2026-04-28T19:34:47Z

Scope: Single-trace fragmented transition slice.

Coverage window: 2026-04-28 pressure test

Completeness attestation records what this trace claims to cover. It does not prove nothing was omitted.

Included trace refs:
  • trc_20260428193400_fg92e8b7
Excluded known items:
  • One closure artifact is missing.
  • Cross-team corroboration not attached.

Partial on purpose so fragmented state changes remain visible.

Escalation Closure

Current closure: requires_remediation

auditor_pressure · 32d ago 2026-04-28T19:34:52Z

Closure intentionally does not approve continuation in the fragmented case.

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: fragmented transition pressure test.
  • Expected outcome does not match the observed outcome.
  • Two supported transitions lack evidence.
  • Two blind spots remain open.
  • Completeness is partial.
  • Escalation closure requires remediation.

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.

Blocked trust or operator actions:

  • Transition: Escalation closure records that remediation is still required.
  • Trust-positive continuation: Blocked until current runtime validation failures are resolved.

Why actions are blocked:

  • Escalation closure requires remediation before ordinary continuation.
  • Current runtime validation fails: missing_boundary_trust_state_on_trust_positive_resume.

Additional concerns:

  • Escalation closure requires remediation before trust resumes.
  • 2 declared blind spot(s) remain open as explicit scope limits.
  • Expected outcome was recorded before later observation. DBaD does not evaluate whether that expectation was wise.
  • Completeness attestation explicitly says coverage is partial.

Next step: Use to observe profile spread under multi-signal fragmentation.

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.

Verification API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428193400_fg92e8b7/verification

Add Transition

Minimal vertical-slice transition only. This appends one transition event and updates the stored effective/review state where appropriate.

Boundary trust fields are optional for ordinary legacy transitions, but required for trust-positive continuation after escalation or historical contamination. If any are supplied, they must form a paired prior-exit/receiver-entry record.

Transition API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428193400_fg92e8b7/transition

Evidence references are not verified by DBaD.

Update Outcome

Manual only. This records what was later observed without treating it as proof of safety or correctness.

Outcome API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428193400_fg92e8b7/outcome

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.

Blind spot API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428193400_fg92e8b7/blind-spots

Update Completeness Attestation

Record what this trace claims to cover without implying DBaD can prove that claim is true or exhaustive.

Completeness API: /api/v1/dbad/traces/trc_20260428193400_fg92e8b7/completeness-attestation

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.
