24. Conformance Certificate

24.1 Purpose

The nine-invariant conformance certificate is the inspector-facing audit artifact. It proves what was evaluated, against what, by whom, with what outcome — and enables independent re-derivation.

24.2 Nine Structural Invariants

Field Content
1 Typed predicates (governed output, content-hashed)
2 Scope certificate (order-typed scope expression)
3 Composed discrete program (runtime executable hash)
4 Verdict with per-obligation anchor-inheritance
5 Scope expression map (multi-spec governing collection)
6 Audit-chain pointer (hash-chained PassRecord trail)
7 Order-typed recomputation witness
8 Procedural-confidence-at-admission (4 structural inputs)
9 Certificate metadata (timestamp, engine, governing spec version, manifest version)

24.3 Certificate Hash

The certificate_hash SHALL be computed as SHA-256 over canonical JSON of all 9 fields. This hash is consumed by the actuation gate as originating_certificate_id and is the metered/billable unit.

24.4 Certificate Class

Class Meaning
CLASS_A Analysis of a known program
CLASS_B Generated interpretation (carries non-linguistic provenance chain in Field 1)

24.5 Field 7 Per-Verdict Content

Verdict Field 7 Content
CERTIFY Full recomputation witness hash
REFUSE Recomputation witness hash + falsifier (required, retained for review)
REFER Recomputation witness hash + coaching record (routing + ambiguity)

24.6 Procedural Confidence (Field 8)

Derived from four structural inputs with NO model-internal signals:

  1. adjudication_strength — inter-rater statistic from governing spec
  2. evidence_completeness — fraction of required evidence present
  3. scope_coverage — fraction of governing spec scope exercised
  4. temporal_freshness — freshness disposition score
