+# Authoring Publication and Evidence Clarity — issues
+
+These issues are new observations or explicit design gates. Existing accepted
+refactors and historical external-review decisions remain unchanged.
+
+| ID | Type | Disposition and owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| B0 | Baseline CI / fixture | Resolved in A1 with a test-owned unexposed standard and unchanged Security exposure. Direct and warm-cache fixture cases pass on the committed candidate; no hosted exact-candidate CI result is claimed. |
+| F1 | Publication reporting | Resolved in A1: apply, recovery, and status expose durable receipt facts separately from read-only checkout/index observations. Checkout reconciliation writes remain A3. |
+| F2 | Evidence phase binding | Resolved for repository-content@1 in A1: side-effect-free preflight catches destination mismatch before readiness, while final apply repeats the check. A2 adds explicitly bound immutable artifacts. |
+| F3 | Diagnostics | Resolved in A1: the evidence producer reports phase/reference/digest/source context; legacy path/field/observed details are bounded for authoring and omitted for application purpose. |
+| F4 | Focused reuse | One unchanged obligation requires a new submission because focused revise omits prior Analysis reuse. Existing helper passed the real successor in memory. A4 composes it; final readiness is never copied. |
+| F5 | Exposure explanation | Confirmed Router needs-review is hidden by generic preview rejection. A4 retains denial and exposes only authoring-permitted blocker context. |
+| G1 | Evidence carrier proof | Proposed self-contained bundle keeps current four-field repository-content carrier. A2 must prove original-content provenance, exact validation, authorized export and cold receipt use before expansion. If incompatible, own a versioned redesign, not a source-label workaround. |
+| G2 | Reconciliation write ownership | Two-tree trials cover ordinary carry-forward and conflict refusal only. A3 must prove supported layouts, stale/partial outcomes and explicit cooperative ownership; no atomic multi-resource claim is made. |
+| G3 | Original run / model evidence | Original session handles/transcript and current live model are not available. Current-code reproductions are not a replay of that session. A5 owns a newly authorized comparable fixture run. |
+| G4 | Versions and old history | Actual persisted records constrain changes. Keep their source meaning and explicit version support; new bundle/intent kinds do not justify blanket migration or old-handle reset. |
+| D1 | Deferred UI/response ideas | No new short-ID resolver, larger eager catalog, universal schemas/examples tool, or automatic final-approval transfer. Consider only after measured remaining friction and a new admission. |
+
+No acceptance claim is satisfied solely by the planning probes. No unrelated source
+repair or accepted plan is included. New findings during implementation are assigned
+to the existing owner/write set unless they alter scope, authority or retained
+meaning.
