G.8:8 - Conformance Checklist (CC‑G8)

  • CC‑G8‑CoreRef (G.Core conformance bridge). A conforming G.8 SHALL satisfy the effective set of CC‑GCORE‑* obligations implied by G.8:4.1 (expanded per G.Core:4.2), including required pins, trigger sets, and Default Governing Definition Index citation.

  • CC‑G8‑1 (No thresholds in LOG). Any numeric gate, maturity floor, or threshold SHALL be authored as a G.4 Acceptance artefact and cited by id; the LOG bundle/ladder SHALL NOT embed thresholds.

  • CC‑G8‑2 (Tri‑state discipline; delegated). Guard outcomes SHALL obey the tri‑state domain and unknown handling defined in G.Core (delegation to CC‑GCORE‑GUARD‑1). Any sandbox/probe‑only behaviour SHALL be represented as an explicit C.23 branch and MUST pin (and record) the controlling policy id (typically an E/E‑LOG policy id via C.19), rather than inventing a fourth status or silently coercing unknowns.

  • CC‑G8‑3 (Path citation when evidence is path‑addressable). When G.6 is in use (or resolvable), every recorded pass/degrade/abstain outcome in the AdmissibilityLedger MUST cite PathId/PathSliceId (run‑time). At packaging time, the bundle/ledger SHALL at minimum provide resolvable evidence refs (e.g., EvidenceGraphId? + anchor refs).

  • CC‑G8‑4 (Crossing visibility and penalty routing; delegated). Any cross-Context or cross-plane reuse asserted by the bundle/ledger SHALL satisfy the core crossing visibility and penalty routing invariants (delegation to CC‑GCORE‑CROSS‑1 and CC‑GCORE‑PEN‑1).

  • CC‑G8‑5 (PortfolioMode/dominance hygiene; delegated). The bundle/ledger SHALL treat PortfolioMode and dominance fields as pinned inputs and SHALL cite the governing definition for each omitted default through G.Core.DefaultGoverningDefinitionIndex (delegation to CC‑GCORE‑DEF‑1 and CC‑GCORE‑SET‑1; governing definitions include CC‑G5.23 for DefaultId.PortfolioMode and CC‑G5.28 for DefaultId.DominanceRegime). It MUST NOT restate default values locally. If the bundle/ledger records telemetry that could influence dispatch (e.g., illumination/QD/OEE/open‑ended proxies), such telemetry SHALL remain report‑only unless explicitly promoted by a G.4 governing-pattern policy id that is pinned and recorded in the run‑time trace.

  • CC‑G8‑6 (QD/OEE edition discipline). When QD/OEE surfaces are declared, the bundle/ledger MUST pin the relevant editions and policies (DescriptorMapRef.edition, DistanceDefRef.edition, insertion/emitter policies, and TransferRulesRef.edition when applicable). CharacteristicSpaceRef.edition is required iff cell boundaries / de‑dup rules / parity depend on the space definition, and MUST NOT be used as a substitute for DescriptorMapRef.edition.

  • CC‑G8‑7 (Maturity is ordinal/poset). Maturity ladders SHALL be authored as ordinal/poset descriptions with closed rung ids (MaturityRungs, UTS‑registered) and a declared ReferencePlane, and SHALL be published as a citable UTS artefact (editioned; twin‑register safe). Rung transitions, when asserted, MUST be justifiable by citable evidence paths (when available).

  • CC‑G8‑8 (Spaces ≠ Maps). CharacteristicSpace and DescriptorMap SHALL remain strictly distinct kinds; naming and twin‑register discipline must be respected.

  • CC‑G8‑9 (Notational independence). The bundle, ledger, and maturity card SHALL remain notation‑independent (per E.5.2); any serialization choice is non‑normative and belongs outside Part‑G core.

  • CC‑G8‑10 (MOO cross‑reference). When a LOG bundle is used to drive or justify a produced selected-set outcome, the record of the producing Work, or the audit artefact, SHOULD cite the controlling mechanism ids (e.g., parity/shipping/refresh artefact ids) and relevant policy pins; no “black box” provenance.

  • CC‑G8‑11 (SoTA‑of‑description trace). If authoring methods (e.g., discovery, clustering, summarisation) materially shaped rule text or rung definitions, the bundle/card SHOULD cite their method description refs (edition‑pinned) to support cross‑stance traceability.
