# HyperTwist Phase J-EK validation pulpit-state packets and bounded ongoing-state caucus preparation packet

Date: 2026-06-01

## Objective

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

## Planned surfaces

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

## Guardrails

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

## Intended package posture

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

## Next seam after landing

- `Phase J-FD`
