the doc-fidelity gate fails open three ways: Record saves a PROMOTE whose failing list names a false brief sentence and Judge lets that match proceed; a new undocumented surface listed in doc-fidelity-backlog.json passes layer 1 as backlog with no chapter, and nothing enforces the claim that the list only shrinks; and Record accepts a multi-line or unbounded sentence, which Apply then replaces across several lines of a chapter

Grounds

• pursued: each review probe is a test watched fail then pass (TestRecordRefusesAFailOpenPayload, TestLayerTwoOutcomes PROMOTE carrying a false brief sentence, TestNoBacklogFileAdmitsAnUndocumentedSurface, the Apply sentence-spanning-lines case); shown wrong if any of those payloads is saved, a listed new verb passes layer 1, or a multi-line sentence is written into a chapter
