# HyperTwist Phase J-EQ validation choir-state packets and bounded ongoing-state vestry preparation packet

Date: 2026-06-01

## Objective

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

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

## Planned surfaces

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

## Guardrails

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

## Intended package posture

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

## Next seam after landing

- `Phase J-FD`
