# HyperTwist Phase J-EW validation altar-state packets and bounded ongoing-state reredos preparation packet

Date: 2026-06-01

## Objective

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

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

## Planned surfaces

- validation altar-state packet contract
- validation ongoing-state reredos boundary
- bundled runtime accessors for both surfaces
- focused automation coverage for contract and boundary resolution

## Guardrails

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

## Intended package posture

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

## Next seam after landing

- `Phase J-FD`
