The admission ordering gate reads 'committed' as a run.json decoding to position comparative with a candidate_run, with no run_id/directory, manifest, item or git check (internal/core/capture/itemfate.go:145-186), so an untracked, id-less marker opens the gate; this matches the spec's Approach but not its line that no mutable file anywhere records the outcome (review-admission 2).

Grounds

• pursued: an id-less or manifest-less comparative marker no longer opens the widening gate while the channel's own ingest still does; TestComparativeRunForRefusesAMarkerTheChannelDidNotWrite or TestTheChannelsCommittedComparativeRunSatisfiesTheGate failing would show it wrong
