# HyperTwist Phase J-EN validation cathedra-state ledgers and bounded ongoing-state synod preparation packet

Date: 2026-06-01

## Objective

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

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

## Planned surfaces

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

## Guardrails

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

## Intended package posture

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

## Next seam after landing

- `Phase J-FD`
