G.1:4.2.4 - M4 — Shortlist (selector output)

Governs (kit surface):

  • ShortlistId bound to CG‑FrameContext
  • a selected set of candidates plus rationale and SCR-addressable audit references required by G.5 (SCRId required; DRRId optional; cite PathId/PathSliceId when applicable). Add assurance records only when an actual named assurance claim is current.
  • optional front metadata or archive metadata needed for reproducibility when used: ε‑front parameters and/or archive snapshot hooks, with governing-definition assignment through G.5 / C.18 / C.19 (no local semantics in G.1)

Governing pattern: selection/dispatch semantics are governed by G.5. M4 MUST preserve set‑return semantics (as governed by G.Core) and MUST NOT hard‑code a forced singleton outcome.
