Their answer crossed with the draft rather than responding to it, so the two readings of the same validator are independent. They agree on every substantive point -- four required keys, three reserved basenames, summary as the only nullable key, the index structure, the closed sets -- and on the column assignments. That is corroboration, not confirmation bias, and it is worth more than either reading alone. Four refinements folded in: - Emission order is an ordered prefix followed by remaining keys SORTED, not just an ordered list. This is the commons D1 outcome and it is what keeps regeneration byte-identical; normalising key order any other way breaks their BUNDLE_HASH_REGISTRY gate, which is why D1 mattered. - Values may be a non-empty LIST of strings, not only scalars. Same block -list shape Door C already refuses to round-trip, which is why imported concepts are written verbatim -- a scalars-only parser would destroy their Release pages, and a scalars-only profile would reject them. - Non-required allowlisted keys are validated against closed sets WHEN PRESENT, not required to be present. - Internal-link resolution generalises only because path_policy owns the layer layout; noted on the gate row as their caveat, accepted. Gate 5's row now distinguishes the Guard COLUMN (functionality that is the guard's and is never reimplemented) from the call SITE (theirs, in their acquisition stage) -- the one place our wording and theirs differed.

Phase 3 split table — the proving consumer's 25 gates
Status: drafted and independently corroborated; operator review outstanding. Phase 3's plan requires this mapping before any porting. Nothing here is implemented yet, and nothing in the consumer's repository is modified by this repository.
The proving consumer (claude-code-llm-wiki) answered the same questions from
their own code on 2026-07-25, crossing with this draft rather than responding
to it. Two independent readings of the same source agreed on every substantive
point: four required keys, three reserved basenames, summary as the only
nullable key, the index structure, and the closed sets. Their answer added four
refinements, each folded in below and marked. Their column assignments match
this table's, with one wording difference resolved in gate 5's row.
Read from the consumer's working tree on 2026-07-25:
tools/wiki_ingest/validate.py and tools/wiki_ingest/bundle.py at commit
9ee5a8e (repository HEAD 20bcdd6). Their validate.py is the single
entrypoint for every per-run gate, so this table is exhaustive over the gate
set as it stands at that commit — assumption C2 is satisfied only as long as
that remains true, and a gate added there after this date is not in this table.
The three columns
| Column | Meaning | Goes where |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | Structural bundle contract: types, frontmatter keys, paths, reserved files, index shape | This phase, BundleProfile |
| Guard | Content safety: carriers, secrets, injection, active content | llm-ingestion-guard calls — never reimplemented here |
| Consumer | Domain logic: source pipelines, LLM contract, promotion, run accounting | Stays in the consumer's repository |
Stage A — detection/acquisition
| # | Gate | Default class | Column | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | INGEST_LEDGER_DIVERGENCE |
ALERT (halts) | Consumer | Upstream re-poll reconciliation; no bundle structure involved. |
| 2 | INGEST_CHANGELOG_PARSE |
ERROR | Consumer | Source-format parsing for one specific upstream. |
| 3 | INGEST_EXPECTED_SET |
ALERT | Consumer | npm/changelog reconciliation against known deltas. |
| 4 | INGEST_DOCS_CORPUS_SANITY |
ERROR | Consumer | Corpus size/shape thresholds for one named corpus. Its second half — "a concept must not derive from the changelog page" — is a layer-provenance rule expressed as a URL test; see open question Q3. |
| 5 | INGEST_INPUT_INJECTION_SCAN |
WARN (ERROR when verbatim) | Guard | Carrier scan plus semantic lexicon on fetched input. Guard column means the functionality is the guard's and is never reimplemented — not that the call site moves here. The consumer keeps the call, as they state, since it sits in their acquisition stage. The disposition-aware escalation is Consumer policy over a Guard verdict; see Q1. |
Stage B — LLM-output contract
| # | Gate | Default class | Column | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | LLM_STOP_REASON |
ERROR | Consumer | |
| 7 | LLM_SCHEMA |
ERROR | Consumer | Frozen run-record schema plus summary length caps. |
| 8 | LLM_OUTPUT_LINT |
ERROR | mixed | Decomposed below. |
| 9 | LLM_GROUNDING_ANCHOR |
ERROR | Consumer | Anchor resolution against their concepts layer. |
| 10 | LLM_SOURCE_TRACE |
ERROR | Consumer | Verbatim-quote and dropped-citation detectors. |
| 11 | LLM_SEAM_LINKS |
ERROR | Consumer | Proposed links restricted to existing concept IDs. |
| 12 | LLM_BUDGET |
ERROR | Consumer | Per-run call/token/cost caps. |
Stage C — bundle conformance and publish
| # | Gate | Default class | Column | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | BUNDLE_FRONTMATTER_PARSEABLE |
ERROR | Profile | Every non-reserved .md opens with a complete fence. |
| 14 | BUNDLE_TYPE_ENUM |
ERROR | Profile | Closed enum Concept/Guide/Reference/Release. |
| 15 | BUNDLE_RESERVED_FILES |
ERROR | Profile | log.md required-absent; index.md structure. Three reserved basenames, not two — see "What STRICT_V1 must express". |
| 16 | BUNDLE_YAML_STRICT |
ERROR | Profile | Key allowlist, required keys, and the StrictYAML scalar subset. |
| 17 | BUNDLE_LAYER_PATH_TYPE |
ERROR | Profile | Path prefix ⇄ layer ⇄ source_tier ⇄ type agreement. |
| 18 | BUNDLE_LINKS_INTERNAL |
ERROR | Profile | Every relative cross-link resolves inside the bundle. Consumer's caveat, accepted: link resolution assumes their layer layout, so it generalises only because path_policy owns the layout too. |
| 19 | BUNDLE_LINKS_EXTERNAL |
WARN (never blocks) | Consumer | Liveness polling; needs network state this library does not collect. |
| 20 | BUNDLE_URL_ALLOWLIST |
ERROR | mixed | Decomposed below. |
| 21 | BUNDLE_INDEX_COMPLETE |
ERROR | Profile | Per-directory index exactness plus root-index metadata keys. |

ERROR | Consumer | Per-version diff caps from their run manifest. |
| 25 | BUNDLE_SECRET_SCAN |
ERROR | Guard | Credential patterns over bundle text and run artifacts. |
The two mixed gates, decomposed
The plan asks for exactly one column per gate. Two gates do not honour that as written, because each bundles checks belonging to different columns. Splitting them is the honest mapping; the alternative — assigning the whole gate to its dominant column — would quietly move the residue to the wrong side.
Gate 8, LLM_OUTPUT_LINT runs _lint_text over enrichment summaries and
verbatim release bodies:
| Check | Column |
|---|---|
| Off-allowlist URL | Consumer (their editorial pinning; see gate 20) |
| HTML tag in prose | Guard — active content is squarely the guard's territory at v0.3.0 |
| base64-like blob | Guard |
| Credential pattern | Guard |
| Consumer-directed imperative | Guard — this is the injection posture, expressed as their house rule |
| Injection lexicon and hex blob | Guard |
Gate 20, BUNDLE_URL_ALLOWLIST bundles two unrelated rules:
| Check | Column |
|---|---|
| URL host/prefix on the pinned allowlist | Consumer |
| Domain is new versus the previous bundle state | Consumer (drift detection over their own retained state) |
Neither half is Profile: a URL allowlist is editorial policy about which sources a bundle may cite, not a statement about bundle structure. It is listed as mixed only because the checks have different natures, and both land in the same column — noted rather than merged, so a later reviewer can see it was considered.
What STRICT_V1 must express
The phase-3 plan sketched this profile before the validator was read. Two of its claims do not survive contact and are corrected here; the plan file is corrected in the same commit.
- Required keys are four, not eight.
REQUIRED_KEYS = (type, title, description, timestamp). The eight-key list in the plan was a truncation ofFRONTMATTER_KEY_ORDER, which is a different thing: an eleven-key allowlist that doubles as canonical emission order —type,title,description,timestamp,layer,source_tier,source_url,source_sha,version,date,summary. Sofrontmatter_schemaneeds three fields, not one: required, allowlisted, and ordered. The non-required keys are validated against closed sets when present, not required to be present — a profile that requires all of them rejects pages the consumer ships today. - Three reserved basenames, not two.
index.md,log.md, andREADME.md. README is bundle documentation, reserved likeindex.md: it carries no frontmatter, is skipped by the per-document gates, is never listed in a generated index, and is still subject to the link, URL, sanitization and secret gates. A two-value reserved-file policy (required-present / required-absent) cannot express it; the third value is "present-and-exempt-from-document-gates".
Beyond the frontmatter set, BundleProfile must carry:
- Type policy: closed enum, four values.
- Nullable keys:
summaryalone may benull— the single deliberate escape from strings-only frontmatter. - Value shapes: a string scalar, or a non-empty list of strings. This
is the same block-list shape Door C already refuses to round-trip through
this library's line-oriented parser, which is why an imported concept is
written verbatim. A profile that assumes scalars-only rejects the consumer's
own
Releasepages, and a parser that assumes scalars-only would silently destroy them. - Key-name grammar:
^[a-z_]+$. - Scalar encoding: the StrictYAML subset (JSON-double-quoted scalars), so a regeneration over the same data is byte-identical.
- Emission order — carry this over intact: the ordered prefix above,
followed by any remaining keys sorted. This is the door-A model settled
by commons decision D1, and it is what makes regeneration byte-identical.
A profile that normalises key order any other way breaks the consumer's
BUNDLE_HASH_REGISTRYgate, which is what made that decision matter. - Layer/path policy:
concepts/⇄ layerconcepts, source_tierofficial-docs, any type exceptRelease;releases/⇄ layerreleases, source_tierchangelog-derived, typeReleaseexactly. Their constants spell thesebundle/conceptsandbundle/releasesbecause their validator walks a repository whose bundle lives inbundle/. That prefix is where they keep the bundle, not part of the contract — see "No placement field" below. - Index policy, which differs from this library's default in four ways:
one index per directory rather than one per bundle; entries formatted
* [Title](link) - descriptionrather than- [label](target); index contents must match the directory exactly, both directions; and the root index carries frontmatter pinningokf_version,bundle_profile,okf_spec_commit.
No placement field — a field the profile must NOT grow
The catalog reported on 2026-07-25 (their commit 3ccb5f6,
docs/okf-second-brain/spec.md §1 and §8) that bundle placement is
unmandated, measured against four consumers rather than taken on report:
exactly one installs a bundle anywhere; for the other three the bundle
directory is a caller-supplied argument per run, with no default, no discovery
and no $HOME expansion. Discovery, where it happens, keys on the §3 root
marker (index.md plus okf_version), never on a path.
Three consequences for BundleProfile, recorded here because this phase's
non-goal is precisely "do not make the profile too narrow for the Node-world
conventions in phase 4":
- No root-location or install-path field. There is no path form to express.
- "No installation root" is a conforming consumer shape, so a profile that assumes every consumer has one would be too narrow in exactly the warned way.
- Installing and writing are separate axes: a consumer may write into a bundle it never placed, so write policy must not be tied to a placement concept.
Every path in this document is therefore bundle-relative, and the bundle directory stays what it is today in both doors — an argument.
The index-policy divergence is the largest single item. Under the default
profile the observable output must stay byte-identical (assumption C1, proven
by the golden suite), so index_policy has to express both shapes rather than
generalising one into the other.
Open questions for the proving consumer
- Q1. Gate 5 escalates the injection scan from WARN to ERROR on a
verbatimdisposition, because no LLM rewrite layer sits in front of the published text. That is a policy tier chosen per document, over a guard verdict. Should the profile be able to express "this document class gets a stricter gate tier", or does that stay entirely in the consumer's hands? This repository's position is the latter — the profile describes structure, not security tiers — but it is the consumer's call, since it decides where their gate lives after the port. - Q2. Is the four-key required set final, or is it four only because seed
triage has not finished?
layer,source_tier,source_urlandsource_shaare allowlisted and, in practice, present on every generated document — if they are meant to be required, STRICT_V1 should require them. - Q3. Gate 4's second half asserts that no
concepts/page may derive from the changelog page. That reads as a layer-provenance rule, which is Profile territory, but it is expressed as a URL predicate over one specific upstream, which is Consumer territory. Mapped to Consumer here. Correct? - Q4. Gates 19 and 22 are mapped to Consumer because they need state this library never collects (link liveness, page hashes). If either is expected to move, the profile would have to grow a notion of external state, which is a larger change than phase 3 scopes.
What this table does not do
It does not port anything. Per the plan, porting starts only after this mapping is reviewed, and the Guard column must contain no rows implemented in this repository — the phase-2 grep gate over guard functionality still applies unchanged.
