F.8:7.4 - Policy Identifier

A gate profile proposes Aut-Guard-2026. F.8 treats this as a policy-identifier question only after the policy specification is recovered. Ordinary reuse resolves the identifier and specification. Recover the mint decision or choice occurrence only when reuse relies on that history for citation, replay, accountability, supersession, or another named relation. If a new introduction makes that stronger claim without an occurrence basis, return missing-governor. Any C.11 result, decision-making Work, result episteme, or record stays separate.

The identifier is not the specification, local system-role kind, Method, gate result, evidence value, permission, or source authority. It is a reference used by the pattern that defines or constrains the governed policy claim.
