From 1bee09197b4764324ad979013095550fe67fef3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Theo (AGENT-010)" Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 15:36:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?Publish=20the=20DEC-031=20record=20=E2=80=94=20?= =?UTF-8?q?the=20last=20object=20gate=20item=208=20names=20(wiki=20revisio?= =?UTF-8?q?n=2098ea5ce,=20entry=20sha256=208d51a0b8=E2=80=A6)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Gate item 8 of the MoI Proof Standard requires the standard, the DEC-031 record and the signature register to be publicly pinned before the standard is called operative. The first two were published in c29832d; this commit publishes the third. All three objects gate item 8 names are now published here. Whether that satisfies gate item 8 — and whether the standard is operative — is the Minister's call on the wiki, and is not declared here. Gate item 2's three public artifacts still do not exist. Wiki material copied (byte-identical; written out with `git show :Decision-Log.md`, no edit): - DEC-031.md source wiki page Decision-Log.md, the DEC-031 ENTRY only — the bytes from the line beginning `## DEC-031` up to, but not including, the next line beginning `## DEC-0` (lines 663-710 at that revision) revision 98ea5ce111bb43c9efa42bbb3809c67a1fa1a072 (98ea5ce) sha256 8d51a0b8131b9a61ff8400defff61ccc0ef8225e9e80297f9203ab6592dc61c1 (4,600 B) The whole Decision-Log is NOT published: it carries other decisions and internal operations detail that is not authorised for publication, and gate item 8 names this record, not the log. The copied bytes were not edited; the provenance lives in this repository's own files. Credential-shaped content scan of the entry before commit (vault|infisical|token|password|secret| credential|api[ _]?key|10\.0\.0\.|192\.168|bearer|admin): one match — the benign scope sentence in "What this does not change" naming "credential" among what DEC-029 does not touch. No secret material in the entry, so no redaction and no block. Also in this commit: - PROVENANCE.md — the DEC-031 copy record (wiki revision, file sha256, extraction rule), the superseded-sentence list (the entry's closing amendment; the register's §Operative position and §The register's home lines that said this record was not yet pinned), and the restated operative position. - README.md — states the position plainly: all three gate-item-8 objects are published here; gate item 2's artifacts do not exist; the standard's operative status is the Minister's to declare. Governance documents, not MoI claims. Nothing here is asserted as verified; no audience is reached. Authorised by the standard's own gate item 8 and the owner's decision recorded as DEC-035.
