Classify the changed surface
Different authority surfaces need different validators, tests, documentation-impact receipts, or rendered screenshots.
Operations explainer
Validator PASS Does Not Mean Physics Proof
A PASS result says a named check accepted the checked state. It is useful operational evidence, but it is not theorem proof, ontology adoption, benchmark promotion, Gate Chair approval, or permission expansion.
Validator PASS comprehension
PASS is checked-state evidence, not physics proof.
The validator/operator route explains how operators choose focused checks, record command evidence, add screenshots for public UI, and avoid turning PASS into theorem proof or claim promotion.
The diagram is a static reader aid. It does not replace the source files, route dossiers, or claim-status records that govern the topic.
Mechanism
How to read this surface.
02
Record evidence
Commands, outputs, screenshots, and receipts preserve what was checked and what was not checked.
03
Read PASS narrowly
PASS means a named check accepted a checked state, not a broader truth.
04
Route promotion separately
Theorem proof, ontology adoption, benchmark promotion, and Gate Chair closure require source evidence and protected authority paths.
Terms
Define the loaded words before using them.
- Validator
- A deterministic repository check.Not a scientific judge.
- Receipt
- A durable record of command evidence or review status.Not claim promotion by itself.
- Screenshot evidence
- Rendered browser evidence for public UI changes.Still requires human comprehension review.
- Human gate
- Explicit protected decision path for claim promotion or closure.Cannot be replaced by PASS.
Boundaries
What this page must not imply.
- No theorem proof
- PASS does not prove physicsMathematical and scientific claims require source evidence, derivation, and any required gates.
- No authority expansion
- Validation does not grant writesA passing check cannot expand role authority or AgentJob scope.
- No gate shortcut
- Human-gated decisions stay separateValidators cannot issue Gate Chair approval, adopt ontology, or promote a benchmark.
Safe reading
A useful summary also names the unsafe one.
- Safe summary
- Supported readingValidators and tests provide bounded evidence for the surface they checked, with screenshots and receipts where needed; scientific promotion still requires source evidence and any required human gate.
- Unsafe summary
- Forbidden shortcutPASS proves physics, promotes claims, changes roles, replaces human review, resolves unchecked surfaces, or issues Gate Chair approval.

Command map
Choose checks by changed authority surface.
Memory refresh, publication pages, project-system state, source-bridged sidecars, tooling changes, and research-control records require different evidence.
- Memory
- Bootstrap then validateGenerated derivatives refresh through the approved path; source files remain the authority.
- Publication
- Pair checks with screenshotsPublic pages need deterministic checks plus rendered evidence because readability is user-facing.
- Project system
- Classify and receiptState-changing project-system work needs classifier, resolver, documentation-impact, research-control, and checkpoint evidence.
- Tooling
- Run focused testsScripts, validators, schemas, roles, or memory tools require unit tests in addition to control validators.
PASS limits
Deterministic acceptance has a bounded meaning.
A green check does not promote claims, prove theorems, expand roles, adopt sidecars, issue Gate Chair approval, or make generated outputs authoritative.
- Necessary
- Transaction evidenceA PASS result can be necessary evidence for the current checked state.
- Insufficient
- No theorem proofIt does not prove ontology, derive GR, promote a benchmark, or issue a Gate Chair verdict.
- Protected
- Human gates remain separateOntology adoption, benchmark promotion, Gate Chair closure, and protected authority changes need their own source and approval path.
