Non-Regression, Zero-Hardcode, And PG-Native Review

Three Declarations

1. Permanent: mutable behavior remains ACTIVE sealed manifest data; hash protocol versions only change through reviewed canonicalizer versions.
2. Impossible to mistake: PG FK/exact-set/both-EXCEPT/hash/constraint checks fail closed.
3. Automatic: PG derives evidence, scope, membership, order, and index disposition without a human verdict.

Verdicts

• Zero hardcode: PASS
• Zero disguised hardcode: PASS
• PG first: PASS
• PG native: PASS_DESIGN_OPERATOR_GATED_LIVE
• PG driven: PASS
• Hash determinism: H04_H05_H02_BYTE_IMPLEMENTABLE_PASS
• Authority surfaces: exactly 27
• Runtime evidence: 11 tables, non-authority
• New gates: 0
• New hash contracts: 0

The strict review also corrected the pre-existing H02 signoff order alias (target_id) to real column signoff_binding.target_manifest_id and replaced an undefined "expected verifier set" with membership derived from executed manifest_activation rows and valid PG state rows.

No MD5, delimiter concatenation, implicit bytea text cast, unstable order, name-pattern exemption, manual PASS, source-text authority, or Directus authority was introduced.
