A.21:9 - Consequences

The gate result preserves repair information, prevents unknown or unrun required checks from disappearing, and makes profile change auditable without turning a path boundary into authority. Ordinary gates stop after one result and short rationale; publication, replay, crossing, safety, regulation, and assurance add cost only when their claims are current.

The cost is explicit identity. A practitioner must name the decision subject, profile application, and each required check application instead of relying on labels such as “green”, “Core”, or “regulated”.
