# HyperTwist Phase J-EF validation podium-state ledgers and bounded ongoing-state confederation preparation packet

Date: 2026-06-01

## Objective

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

## Planned surfaces

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

## Guardrails

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

## Intended package posture

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

## Next seam after landing

- `Phase J-EG` validation dais-state packets and bounded ongoing-state league
