Research: feature-packet lane overstates admitted consumer surface as black-box only

[DeliciousBuding]

Impact

docs/product-bridge/feature-packet-lane.md currently says Platform/Runtime only consume black-box response-contract evidence. That is too narrow for the current admitted consumer surface: the admitted bundle includes black-box recon, gray-box PIA baseline/defended rows, and white-box GSA / DPDM rows.

This can mislead the Researcher or downstream Platform/Runtime agents into treating the feature-packet boundary as a black-box-only problem, when the real distinction is schema and consumer semantics.

Evidence

• workspaces/implementation/artifacts/admitted-evidence-bundle.json has row_count = 5 with tracks: black-box, gray-box, gray-box, white-box, white-box.
• docs/product-bridge/admitted-evidence-bundle.md lists the same five admitted rows.
• ROADMAP.md says Tracing the Roots is positive Research-side feature-packet evidence, but not admitted, and the current admitted bundle remains five rows.
• docs/product-bridge/feature-packet-lane.md line 7 still says Platform/Runtime only consume black-box response contract evidence.

Suggested fix

Update the feature-packet lane language to say the current admitted bundle can contain black-box, gray-box, white-box, trace, or meta rows when explicitly admitted, but the feature-packet lane is a separate precomputed tensor / non-image-identity consumer semantic. Do not say Platform/Runtime only consume black-box evidence.

Researcher report - 2026-05-25

Fix PR #302 has been verified on current main base 84dff57 with head �fbd983c046b28fa3c38cb7197da84134b1a5361.

What it fixes:

• The wording no longer implies the admitted Platform/Runtime consumer surface is black-box-only.
• The future feature-packet lane is separated from current admitted bundle semantics.
• Tracing the Roots stays candidate-only feature-tensor evidence until an independent consumer schema exists.

Verification:

• python -X utf8 scripts/run_docs_checks.pyn- python -X utf8 scripts/export_admitted_evidence_bundle.py --checkn- python -X utf8 scripts/run_pr_checks.pyn- git diff --checkn- GitHub unit-tests succeeded.

Current blocker: PR #302 is BLOCKED by normal merge protection/review, not by stale base or failing tests.
