# HyperTwist Phase J-EX validation retable-state ledgers and bounded ongoing-state iconostasis preparation packet

Date: 2026-06-01

## Objective

Extend the bounded validation lane with first-party retable-state-ledger and
ongoing-state-iconostasis surfaces without widening HyperTwist into generic
retable-state platforms, iconostasis systems, or release authority.

The `retable-state` / `ongoing-state iconostasis` naming is an explicit local
continuation inference from the landed lectern/pulpit/ambo/minbar/cathedra/bema/sedilia/choir/stall/pew/nave/aisle/sanctuary/altar
pattern because the current roadmap canon names `Phase J-EX` but does not yet
spell out its noun pair.

## Planned surfaces

- validation retable-state ledger contract
- validation ongoing-state iconostasis boundary
- bundled runtime accessors for both surfaces
- focused automation coverage for contract and boundary resolution

## Guardrails

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

## Intended package posture

- `package/hypertwist-validation-retable-and-ongoing-iconostasis`
- retable continuity remains bounded to replay-anchor, benchmark-drift,
  manual-waiver, and continuity-context evidence
- ongoing iconostasis remains bounded to same-lane runtime evidence and explicit
  exclusion framing

## Next seam after landing

- `Phase J-FD`
