SYSE.32:4.5 - Return a usable, bounded promotion basis

Make the selected artifact available with its identity, applicable evidence, separately identified configuration requirements, and unresolved conditions. Use the existing delivery mechanism or working record; a new document is not required when those facts are already available to the consumer.

Exercise at least the consequential substitution and missing-evidence cases for the chosen mechanism. Check that the consumer obtains the intended bytes and can distinguish failure from a completed verification. Reuse an earlier result only while its subject, required claim and material conditions remain the same.

Hand the result to SYSE.41 when an actual runtime deployment is needed. The deployment must still establish the target’s effective configuration, dependencies and observed behavior. SYSE.14 supplies the separately authorized release decision; artifact promotion does not widen exposure by itself.
