Authority expires after approval but before execution

A previously valid approval reached the execution boundary after its authority window had expired. Pre-execution revalidation detected the loss of present standing and prevented consequence from binding.

EXECUTABLE ARTIFACT · INSPECT THE PROOF

This is the artifact itself.

The determination below is generated by executing the frozen specification through the TA-14 eight-stage harness. The specification, predicates, trace, receipt, manifest and package root are exposed here for inspection and reproduction.
