Protected Consequence Non-Formation

A DENY label alone is insufficient to prove prevention; protected consequence non-formation requires downstream evidence that the prohibited consequence did not occur.

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.
