J.2 Validation Report

Status: completed Validation date: 2026-07-15 Result: PASS WITH CONDITIONS

Source and schema validation

Python source and verifier files compiled: 28
compile errors: 0
JSON Schemas checked: 21
schema errors: 0

The schema set contains the six consolidated constitutional families, six J.1 hardening profiles, and nine J.2 release-candidate profiles.

Automated tests

automated tests: 20
failures: 0
errors: 0

The tests cover:

• role assertion signature, scope, and replay rejection;
• two-of-three release approval;
• concurrent event appends and stale object writes;
• policy and context enforcement;
• policy migration rollback;
• timeout-after-apply exactly-once behavior;
• full authenticated multi-party trial;
• signed selective witness verification;
• partial tool failure compensation;
• deterministic release construction;
• inherited sixteen-case threat harness;
• ten additional release-candidate threat cases;
• schema validity;
• accessibility structure.

Multi-party trial

participants: 3
outcome-changing participant corrections: 2
active policy version: 4
reference events: 22
reference objects: 68

The trial proved:

failed gate: true
valid action: true
consequence return: true
correction propagation: true
retirement revocation: true
stale-context rejection: true
policy-version enforcement: true
gate-key rotation: true
partial-failure recovery: true
selective disclosure: true
authenticated roles: true
multi-party correction: true
policy rollback: true
queue exactly-once effect: true
external-review claim bounded: true

Route results

Tuesday 10:00 without captions:
  DENIED

Wednesday 18:30 with captions:
  DENIED

Thursday 18:30 with captions:
  PASS WITH CONDITIONS

The first route failed evening transit, Thursday caregiving, caption access, and operational authority checks.

The second route satisfied evening transit and captions but failed the Thursday caregiving boundary.

The third route passed after current-policy, current-context, protected-condition, operator-assertion, tool, and target-authority checks.

Policy migration and rollback

Policy version 3 attempted to permit runtime training reuse. Validation rejected the migration and restored policy version 2.

Policy version 4 retained the training prohibition and added authenticated-role and current-context checks. Version 4 became active.

failed migration preserved: true
rollback proven: true
corrected migration active: true

Queue and network faults

timeout after effect application: observed
retry: deduplicated
duplicate message: deduplicated
notification reordering: witnessed
schedule external effect count: 1

This proves exactly-once scheduling effect within the bounded SQLite simulator, not universal distributed exactly-once semantics.

Threat harness

inherited threats detected: 16 of 16
J.2 release threats detected: 10 of 10
total threats detected: 26 of 26

The J.2 additions cover:

• role assertion forgery;
• role-operation confusion;
• assertion replay;
• policy migration laundering;
• single-custodian release;
• mixed-digest release approval;
• timeout-driven duplicate effect;
• external-review overclaim;
• reproducibility mismatch;
• public correction-content leakage.

Witness verification

Standalone witness verifier:

valid: true
checksums verified: 49
records validated: 68
events verified: 22
selective views verified: 4
Ed25519 signature verified: true
implementation package imported: false

Release candidate

Two clean staging directories produced the same archive digest:

Release approval:

threshold: 2 of 3
valid custodians:
  - custodian-operator
  - custodian-verifier
threshold satisfied: true

Standalone release verifier:

valid: true
manifest files verified: 75
private key material found: 0
nested witness valid: true
implementation package imported: false

Review status

J.2 records separate-process security and governance dry runs, an internal privacy review, and a scripted accessibility review.

It accurately reports:

external human security review: not complete
external human privacy review: not complete
external assistive-technology exercise: not complete
external governance observation: not complete

Scope of validation

This report establishes internal structural and behavioral validation of a synthetic release candidate.

It does not establish:

• production security;
• legal or regulatory compliance;
• independent organizational review;
• WCAG certification;
• real participant comprehension or freedom from coercion;
• resilience across arbitrary distributed infrastructure;
• high-stakes deployment safety;
• repository or wiki ingestion of J.2;
• standards-body certification.

Conditions before external pilot admission

• separate organizational custody of release and operational keys;
• authenticated roles backed by a real identity process;
• independent security review;
• independent privacy review;
• external assistive-technology testing;
• observed real multi-party correction exercise;
• networked deployment and queue-failure testing;
• repository and wiki ingestion verification;
• roadmap metadata reconciliation for the stale D/E status text.
