A.19.CPM:11.1 - Currentness and smallest reopen rule

Qualification basis and window. The stable kernel claim is qualified by the current editions of A.6.1 operation declarations and actual binding rules, A.19/A.18 space and scale semantics, A.19.CN comparability, G.0 comparator and evidence admissibility, A.2.6 scope semantics, and the exact current G.2 comparator pack or claim sheet cited by an actual use. For that use, the effective qualification window is the intersection of those bound editions’ currentness and any validity interval declared by the comparator pack or claim sheet; post-2015 is an orientation label, not an indefinite freshness claim.

Reopen the CPM kernel only when. Reopen the smallest affected CPM rule when a direct governor changes binary Compare application identity or bindings, ComparisonResultSlot kind, comparator admission, scale or normalization admissibility, tri-state eligibility, comparison scope, or the separation of output, evidence, provenance, and result epistemes, or when qualified evidence contradicts one of those kernel commitments. A new algorithm family, learned model, fairness constraint, uncertainty method, threshold, or robustness technique that still satisfies those commitments changes its G.2 pack, ComparatorSpec, CG-Spec, or policy binding rather than CPM.

Smallest affected locus. A signature or result-kind change reopens only the corresponding direct-signature, operation-local argument/result declaration, or OperationAlgebra passage in A.19.CPM:4.1; an admissibility or failure-semantics change reopens the matching LawSet or AdmissibilityConditions clause. Update only the nearest exercising case in A.19.CPM:5.2 or :5.3 and the corresponding CC-A19CPM row. Source-family churn that changes no kernel commitment updates the direct pack or claim sheet and, when its summary is stale, only the affected row in this SoTA map.
