1. Executive summary

deliverable: design-only APR draft for the proposed durable edge type `evidenced_by`
edge_status: NOT_APPROVED / NOT_CREATED / APR-GATED
basis: P44-4A §3.3 (APR cấp medium, Đ32) + WS-1 minimization ({ evidenced_by }, 1) + WS-1 binding note + WS-3 proof + WS-3 GPT review
verdict_requested_from: GPT / User (sovereign APR decision)
agent_self_decision: NONE (forbidden)
self_advance: PROHIBITED
quality_gates: QG1–QG8 all addressed (see §7)
forbidden_respected: true

A clean, §3.3-conformant APR proposal for evidenced_by has been drafted. It justifies why no existing edge (references, implements, derived_from, governed_by) carries the durable evidentiary/attestational IU↔IU relation; defines logical meaning, direction (directional, reverse evidences), family (relation/Cap-4), endpoint constraint (IU↔IU, OQC≥3/4), provenance, and lifecycle/governance; draws the hard boundary against iu_entity_binding (raw evidence → binding, not edge); and grounds every claim in the WS-3 collection_structure sample chain (relation R6). The edge is not approved and not created. Recommended decision path: approve via APR Đ32 (advisory only). The decision is reserved entirely for GPT/User.

6	WS-3 gap & readiness review	Blockers BR-A1/BR-FA1/BR-FA3, BP-FA4 evidenced_by, BP-WS2-2, conflicts C1–C3, compliance_matrix defer rationale
7	WS-3 report	WS-3 closure context
8	P44-4A design/05-relation-edge-conformance-design.md	§3.3 extension policy, §3.1/§3.2 edge defs, §3.4 reverse convention, §4.1–§4.5 E1–E8 + INV, §5.8 family split, §2.3 namespace

3. What was drafted

file_1_apr_draft:
  - §3.3-mapped proposal (steps 1–3 authored; steps 4–5 explicitly NOT performed)
  - identity, logical_meaning, direction/reverse (evidences), family (relation/Cap-4)
  - §4 why-not: references / implements / derived_from / governed_by  (QG2)
  - §5 endpoint constraint + evidenced_by vs iu_entity_binding boundary (QG3, QG4)
  - §6 worked examples from WS-3 sample chain R6 (QG5)
  - §7 anti-drift + provenance (E6) + lifecycle/governance (E7) + E1–E8/INV conformance
  - §8 explicit NOT-APPROVED / NOT-CREATED / GPT-USER-DECISION-REQUIRED statement
file_2_risk_and_alternative_review:
  - options A/B/C trade-off matrix (semantic clarity, vocab bloat, queryability,
    compliance_matrix readiness, implementation risk, governance risk)
  - "when NOT to use evidenced_by" disambiguation (raw / weak / provenance / impl / governance)
  - advisory recommendation (A via Đ32) — explicitly NOT a decision
  - risk register RK-1..RK-5
file_3_report: this document
no_sql / no_schema / no_code / no_edge / no_vocab_amend / no_directus_mutation / no_dry-run

4. Is the APR draft ready for GPT/User decision?

ready_for_gpt_user_decision: YES
rationale:
  - All P44-4A §3.3 step-2/step-3 proposal content is present and source-grounded.
  - Justification vs references/implements/derived_from/governed_by is explicit (QG2).
  - evidenced_by vs iu_entity_binding boundary is unambiguous (QG3) incl. the raw
    evidence entity → iu_entity_binding rule (QG4).
  - Examples are taken verbatim from the GPT-accepted WS-3 sample chain (QG5).
  - Edge is NOT approved/created anywhere; every mention is gated (QG6).
  - No executable SQL (QG7); no compliance_matrix proof expansion (QG8).
caveat_to_surface:
  - P44-4A doc 8 tags `owner_law/owner_layer`, NOT the Fabric term `authority_semantics`
    (a WS-1/WS-2 concept). The draft keeps these layers distinct; GPT/User should
    confirm the owner_law tagging + OPEN P44-4-α namespace scheme at decision time.

5. Open decisions (for GPT/User — not resolved here)

OD-EB1: Approve, reject, or defer evidenced_by as a §3.3 extension edge (APR cấp medium Đ32)?
OD-EB2: edge_type namespace scheme — OPEN P44-4-α (prefix obj./sem. vs owner_layer tag vs both);
        draft tags owner_law_code=NRM-LAW-44 pending this.
OD-EB3: On approve — sequencing of §3.3 step-4 (vocab amend) and step-5 (Cap-4 extension);
        both are post-PASS and out of this phase.
OD-EB4: Interaction with BP-WS2-2 (governed_by/derived_from Candidate ratification) — evidenced_by
        does not depend on it, but the broader WS-1 minimization does; confirm tracking.
OD-EB5: Confirm compliance_matrix remains DEFERRED until/after evidenced_by decision (no proof now).

6. Recommended decision path

recommended: APPROVE  (advisory only — sovereign decision = GPT/User)
  approve:
    meaning: ratify evidenced_by as a §3.3 extension via APR cấp medium (Đ32)
    then (post-PASS, separate authorized phases — NOT now):
      - amend edge_type vocab framework (§3.3 step 4)
      - extend DOT Cap-4 checker (§3.3 step 5)
      - LATER: schema-design Q5 + compliance_matrix proof (still gated/deferred)
  reject:
    meaning: no new edge; close WS-1 minimization conclusion as "not pursued"
    consequence: durable production compliance/evidence chains must be re-scoped or
                 descoped; WS-3 continues indefinitely on assembly-local + iu_entity_binding
  defer:
    meaning: keep WS-3 alternative B + iu_entity_binding as standing interim
    revisit_trigger: before any production compliance/evidence durability (BP-FA4)
ordering_note: regardless of outcome, do NOT self-advance to vocab amend / schema /
               compliance_matrix / production. Next step after this package = GPT/User review.

7. Quality gates

Gate	Requirement	Status
QG1	APR draft based on P44-4A §3.3; no new process invented	PASS — §3.3 5-step template instantiated; tier = medium (Đ32) per §3.3 step 1
QG2	Prove why references/implements/derived_from insufficient	PASS — APR draft §4 (table + summary; governed_by also covered)
QG3	Distinguish evidenced_by vs iu_entity_binding	PASS — APR draft §5.2 boundary table + distinction block
QG4	Raw evidence entity → iu_entity_binding, not evidenced_by	PASS — APR draft §5.2 boundary_rule + §6.3 example; risk review §3
QG5	Examples from WS-3 sample chain	PASS — APR draft §6 (R6: N2/N3 ↔ N6; contrasts R3/R4, R7)
QG6	Every evidenced_by mention marked NOT APPROVED / APR-GATED	PASS — banners + inline gating in all 3 files
QG7	No executable SQL	PASS — all field/contract content is logical YAML; zero DDL/DML
QG8	No expansion into compliance_matrix proof	PASS — compliance_matrix named only as downstream impact; remains DEFERRED

8. Downstream impact (named only — NOT proven here, QG8)

compliance_matrix_proof:
  impact: a durable, queryable evidence relation is a prerequisite for a stronger
          future compliance_matrix proof; remains DEFERRED until evidenced_by decision
ws3_production_readiness:
  impact: BP-FA4 — production durable "X proven by Y" cannot exist until APR Đ32 +
          vocab amend; WS-3 logical proof itself is NOT blocked (runs on alt B)
schema_design_Q5:
  impact: GPT ruled Q5 "should wait until evidenced_by APR path and schema blockers
          (BR-A1/BR-FA1/BR-FA3) are clearer"; this draft clarifies the APR path only,
          NOT the schema blockers

11. Routing

status: EVIDENCED_BY_APR_DRAFT_COMPLETE__DESIGN_ONLY
package: 3 files uploaded to knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/v0.5-fabric-addendum-scope/

STOP. This package is a design-only APR draft. evidenced_by is NOT APPROVED and NOT CREATED. Awaiting GPT/User review and sovereign decision.
