# HyperTwist Phase J-ES validation pew-state packets and bounded ongoing-state presbytery implementation packet

Date: 2026-06-01

`Phase J-ES` is now landed locally as the one-hundred-forty-ninth bounded
validation seam in the first-party HyperTwist runtime-evidence ladder.

## Landed surfaces

- validation pew-state packet contract
- validation ongoing-state presbytery boundary
- bundled runtime accessors for both surfaces
- focused automation coverage for the new contract and boundary

## Implementation notes

- the `pew-state` / `ongoing-state presbytery` naming is an explicit local
  continuation inference from the landed lectern/pulpit/ambo/minbar/cathedra/bema/sedilia/choir/stall
  pattern because current canon names `Phase J-ES` but does not yet spell out
  its noun pair
- added pew-state packet contract data, ids, lookup seams, and bundled runtime
  accessors
- added ongoing-state presbytery boundary data, ids, lookup seams, and bundled
  runtime accessors
- extended the validation benchmark reference bundle and structural-validity
  contract with the new bounded seam
- kept package ownership first-party and runtime-evidence scoped

## Guardrails preserved

- keep validation pew-state and ongoing-state presbytery posture first-party
  and runtime-evidence local
- do not widen into generic pew-state platforms or ongoing presbytery systems
- do not widen into cross-product ongoing presbytery ownership or pew
  orchestration
- do not widen into release-gate authority or public leaderboard logic

## Ladder status

- `Phase J-A` through `Phase J-ES` are now landed as the first bounded
  validation and benchmarking ladder
- the current deliberate next seam is:
- `Phase J-FD`
