Elevates decision policy (action authorization) into phase 1 (ADR-318): a
fail-closed gate that authorizes a governed action only when the capability
certificate class, freshness, uncertainty ceiling, evidence floor, and live
domain state (KNOWN, not DEGRADED/UNKNOWN) all satisfy the action class —
convenience vs security vs safety-critical. UNKNOWN denies high-assurance
actions; every decision is the terminal witness-chain stage.
Amends ADR-297 with: the epistemic-reliability pipeline as the product thesis;
four non-negotiable rules (UNKNOWN first-class; certificates bind
cryptographically; one canonical downstream semantics; benchmarks expose
worst-domain + CIs); the certificate-staleness guard (certificates conditional
on a continuously evaluated domain signature; VALID->DEGRADED->UNKNOWN
auto-degrade triggers recalibration); the three-primitive commercial framing
(Runtime / Certify / Trust-Fleet); and acceptance test B (drift invalidation
before a false inference reaches an actuator).

Frames the calibration/evidence/trust/deployment layer as a 20-primitive
phased program with a dependency DAG and phase assignments. Phase 1 is the
certificate spine (spatial ontology, authenticated identity, witness chain,
calibration cert, OOD gating, evidence engine, capability certificate,
multi-domain benchmark scorecard) — the acceptance test decomposed and
buildable without new hardware. Phase 2/3 are integration and research-forward
primitives. Child ADRs 298-317 follow.
