Update the README sections that follow the table.

The README table now lists HYP-S010, HYP-S011 and the changed HYP-UUID-001. The "Dependencies" section stops at HYP-S008. The prose sections do not describe the new rules. Readers cannot see which inputs the new rules read, such as CLADE.a2ml, CLAUDE.md and actions.lock. Add the new inputs to the "Dependencies" section.

# Root cause seen 2026-10-15 on metadatastician/odraz (PR #19): the repo's
# CLADE.a2ml was copied verbatim from the template, so its [identity] block
# declared rsr-template-repo (owner, canonical-name, prefixed-name, forges,
# born) while the minted uuid was recomputed for metadatastician/odraz —
# two true facts pointing at different repositories. A reviewer bot then
# aligned the uuid to the stale declaration, which was the wrong direction:
# the declaration was the residue. Every CLADE must declare THIS repository
# and carry the recomputable profile-C mint for that declaration, with
# CLAUDE.md in agreement. This rule reifies the coherence invariant so the
# direction of the fix is not a judgement call made under review pressure.

Make the "born" and "forges" checks executable.

The @must block requires that born does not predate the first commit. It also requires that forges.github names the actual home. The query at Line 51 checks only declares_this_repository(identity, repo). The supplied context does not show that this predicate covers born or forges. Those requirements can pass without being checked.

Define declares_this_repository so that it covers owner, name, forges and born. Alternatively, add separate or_where clauses for forges and born.

Update the `declares_this_repository` predicate or the query using it so the
`@must` checks explicitly validate both `forges.github` against the actual
repository home and `born` against the repository’s first commit; preserve the

Define the preimage format and the domain handling consistently.

The @must rule at Line 43 uses the preimage github.com/<primary-owner>/<canonical-name>. The VCL query at Line 52 calls profile_c_mint('gv-clade-index', identity.primary_owner, identity.canonical_name). The query passes owner and name as separate arguments. The preimage prefix is not visible in the query. An evaluator can build the preimage in a different way from the rule text. The result is a false pass or a false finding.

Also, @parameters lists julia-package-identity in identity_domains. The query and the @must block use only gv-clade-index. Remove the unused domain or add a check for it.

Document the preimage construction once, in the @parameters block. Reference that definition from the @must block and from the query.

# a governance-repair PR restored `actions/checkout@v7.0.1` — a tag — in

# compare SHA-to-comment, so a tag ref sidesteps them entirely.
#
# Tags remain welcome as *comments* (`@3d3c42e5… # v7.0.1`) — the ref is

Correct the moving-ref pattern in @must.

The pattern ^[a-z]+$ does not match common moving refs such as release/v1, v1-beta or feature_x. The query on Line 45 flags every non-SHA ref, so the @must text is narrower than the real behaviour. State that any ref that is not a 40-hex SHA is a finding. This also matches the retrieved learning that all mutable refs carry similar risk.

Fix the VCL filter: it exempts reusable workflow refs only partly, and it ignores the stated exemptions.

The where clause exempts only refs that start with ./ or docker://. The exempt_refs parameter on Line 33 is not used by the query. The two lists can drift apart.

Reusable workflow refs such as owner/repo/.github/workflows/x.yml@<ref> are also not exempt. The existing validator in .githooks/validate-actions-lock.sh skips these refs. A tag-pinned reusable workflow is still a supply-chain risk, so this rule should treat it as a finding. The rule should say so explicitly. If the intent is to exempt them, add the exemption to @must and to the query.

The pattern '^\\./' also depends on how the engine handles escapes. Use a form that does not need a double backslash, for example '^[.]/'.
