Documentation, linking and retrieval gate v1
Date: 25 October 2026 Status: passed Machine authority: gate JSON
Verdict
The gate passes under its declared scope. All 16 governed roots are typed and present; 6,420 inventoried objects are explicitly classified; 23,655 root-closure links and 1,573 canonical claims have zero missing-link or working-copy divergence findings. The governed benchmark passes 30/30 cases at MRR 0.925. Five additional held-out questions remain discoverable through 36 zero/default/maximum-centrality runs.

Duplicate and contradiction boundary
The duplicate scan is exhaustive over exact canonical content hashes, normalized claim titles and legacy identifiers. It finds one already-known legacy number collision, claim 963, whose two path-plus-hash identities remain distinct. The contradiction scan tests exact-content and normalized-title status conflicts. It does not pretend that lexical machinery proves global logical consistency; cross-wording semantic conflicts are reserved for the adversarial release audit.
Centrality is not authority
PageRank and graph weight are navigation inputs only. The selector sweep tests graph weights 0, 0.3 and 0.6. A branch passes only if a declared target remains within the first ten results at every setting. This includes the newer sign-holonomy detector branch, so a high-centrality historical document may reorder results but may not make the minority branch undiscoverable.
