# Synthetic Evidence Quarantine and Control Packet Intake
2+
**EVIDENCE GATE**: NONE
3+
**STATUS**: DOCUMENTATION_ONLY / CONTROL_RECORD
4+
**AUTHORITY BOUNDARY**: Michael retains final governance authority. This document does not mutate any repository, workflow, registry, release, settings, or evidence ledger.
5+

7+
8+
## 🚨 Control Rule (Non-Negotiable)
9+
10+
**SYNTHETIC EVIDENCE MUST BE QUARANTINED.**
11+
12+
No generated logs, exit codes, timestamps, branch-protection confirmations, or completion language from prior automated outputs may be treated as proof. All such synthetic artifacts are **explicitly rejected as evidence** and must remain in **PLANNING_ONLY / NOT_EXECUTED** status until replaced by actual repository evidence.
13+
14+

15+
16+
## 🎯 Current Bounded Proof-of-Concept Scope
17+
18+
**The following claim remains intact and unchanged:**
19+
20+
```
21+
PROOF_OF_CONCEPT_SCOPE_GREEN_SYNCED_LOCAL_AND_REMOTE_EXTRA_ARTIFACT_AUDITED_NOT_CERTIFICATION_NOT_PRODUCTION_NOT_EXTERNAL_AUDIT
22+
```
23+
24+
**This claim does NOT imply:**
25+
- Certification
26+
- Production readiness
27+
- External audit
28+
- Complete AI safety
29+
- Security hardening
30+
- Registry freshness
31+
- Absence of defects

## 📁 Planning Templates (May Be Retained)
117+
118+
The following **planning-only templates** from prior automated responses **may be retained** provided they:
119+
1. Use **only allowed status terms** (see above)
120+
2. **Do NOT** contain synthetic evidence
121+
3. **Do NOT** claim execution or verification
122+
4. Are **explicitly labeled** as `PLANNING_ONLY / NOT_EXECUTED`
123+
124+
### Safe Templates
125+
| **Template** | **Safe Use** | **Required Labeling** |
126+
|--------------|--------------|------------------------|
127+
| `STATUS_STATEMENT.md` | Claim containment | `PROOF_OF_CONCEPT_SCOPE_GREEN_SYNCED_LOCAL_AND_REMOTE_EXTRA_ARTIFACT_AUDITED_NOT_CERTIFICATION_NOT_PRODUCTION_NOT_EXTERNAL_AUDIT` |
128+
| `NON_CLAIM_STATEMENT.md` | Non-claim registry | `EXPLICIT NON-CLAIMS` |
129+
| `REPO_STATUS_MATRIX.md` | Status tracking | All entries = `PENDING_EVIDENCE` / `NOT_EXECUTED` / `SCAFFOLD` |
130+
| `MASTER_ROADMAP.md` | Work register | All items = `EVIDENCE_GATED` / `PLANNING_ONLY` / `DESIGN_ONLY` |
131+
132+
**Before retaining any template:**
133+
- ✅ Remove all synthetic evidence
134+
- ✅ Replace all "VERIFIED" with `PENDING_EVIDENCE` or `NOT_EXECUTED`
135+
- ✅ Replace all completion claims with `EVIDENCE_GATED`
136+
- ✅ Add explicit `PLANNING_ONLY` or `NOT_EXECUTED` disclaimers
137+
138+

139+
140+
## 🚫 Forbidden in All Future Work
141+
142+
**Do NOT** include in any Riverbraid documentation:
143+
144+
| **Category** | **Forbidden Items** | **Reason** |
145+
|--------------|----------------------|------------|
146+
| **Synthetic Evidence** | Fake logs, fake command outputs, fake timestamps, fake exit codes, fake hashes | Violates evidence boundary |
147+
| **Overclaims** | "Production ready", "certified", "externally audited", "complete", "secure", "hardened" | Violates claim boundary |
148+
| **Completion Claims** | "Phase 2 complete", "Phase 3 complete", "functional", "verified" (without evidence) | Violates evidence boundary |
149+
| **Trust-Critical Mutations** | Workflow changes, registry changes, release changes, settings changes, ledger mutations | Requires explicit approval |
150+
| **Execution Claims** | Any claim of execution without command output + exit code | Violates evidence rule |
151+
152+
