Governed Output Classes

Purpose

This page is the public registry of output classes for governed transition results.

A desired output is not valid merely because it can be requested, generated, displayed, or technically executed. It remains a candidate until the applicable commitment boundary establishes current standing and binds the result to evidence and receipts.

Core output path

admitted input or request
  -> governed evaluation
  -> candidate result
  -> current authority and policy check
  -> Transition Table standing
  -> ALLOW / DENY / FAIL-CLOSED
  -> receipt_chain / STRP record
  -> bounded output disposition
  -> optional authorized consequence

Registered output classes

Output class	Required boundary	Typical destination	Current posture
Informational response	Evidence and scope sufficient; no consequence-bearing authority inferred	User or requesting interface	SUPPORTED_BOUNDED_RESPONSE
Action proposal	Explicitly remains non-authorizing	Commitment-candidate or review path	SUPPORTED_NON_EXECUTING
Commitment request	Current policy, delegation, evidence and recoverability must be evaluated	Authority decision surface	SUPPORTED_NON_AUTHORIZING_REQUEST
Authority decision	Decision must identify standing, scope, policy and validity window	Governed transition record	SCHEMA_OR_FIXTURE_SUPPORTED
Disabled execution handoff	Must state that no side effect occurred	Authorized executor boundary	DEFAULT_FIXTURE_POSTURE
Denial receipt	Denial reason and governing evidence must be preserved	Originating path and continuity record	REGISTERED
Fail-closed receipt	Missing or invalid authority, evidence, identity, policy or standing must be named	Originating path and continuity record	REGISTERED
Quarantine result	Unresolved conflict, provenance, privacy, freshness or custody condition	Review or remediation queue	REGISTERED
Committed repository change	Destination handoff and repository mutation authority required	Authorized repository and commit history	EXTERNAL_TO_WIKI_AUTHORITY
External communication	Recipient, content, authority and consequence boundary required	Email, social, API or messaging surface	EXPLICIT_AUTHORITY_REQUIRED
Memory or KnowledgeVault mutation	Current consent, policy, provenance and custody required	Authorized memory service	SERVICE_EXTERNAL
STRP handoff	Transition identity, result, hashes, authority and continuity fields required	Next governed entity or system	CONTRACT_OR_FIXTURE_SUPPORTED
Receipt-chain continuation	Prior chain validity plus current standing required	Continuity or Master-Records path	REGISTERED_CURRENT_VALIDATION_REQUIRED
State-transition summary	Must remain a bounded explanation rather than proof authority	Public or reviewer-facing surface	SUPPORTED_PUBLIC_EXPLANATION
Custody record	Authenticated installation and reconstructability evidence required	Master-Records/orchestration	EXTERNAL_NOT_CREATED_BY_WIKI

Required result distinctions

Every result surface should distinguish, where applicable:

candidate_output
admitted_informational_response
action_proposal
commitment_request
authority_decision
execution_handoff
execution_result
custody_result
reconstruction_result

Collapsing these stages into a single “success” state obscures whether anything was authorized, executed, recorded, or independently reconstructable.

Machine-readable support

Relevant machine-readable artifacts may include:

governed session packet
intake result
commitment request
authority decision
disabled execution handoff
denial or fail-closed receipt
manifest and receipt handoff
STRP record
custody receipt
reconstruction report

The artifact must identify its producer and scope. A generated file does not inherit authority merely because it conforms to a schema.

Boundary

Generated output != admitted output.
Admitted response != action authority.
Commitment request != authority decision.
Authority decision != execution evidence.
Execution evidence != custody.
Receipt handoff != Master-Records installation.
Historical reconstruction != current admissibility.
