      "reason": "External reviewers demonstrated that identical broad intent labels can conceal incompatible collaboration roles and consent boundaries, while literal trait overlap can miss synonyms.",

      "summary": "Stopped treating an accepted introduction as sufficient referral-prize activity. Qualification now requires both participants to independently close an accepted introduction as completed.",
      "reason": "Acceptance proves mutual consent to begin, not that useful collaboration or promised delivery occurred.",
      "remaining_limit": "Close-out outcomes, operator scope, summaries, and artifact references are participant claims. Kinmesh does not independently verify delivery, identity, or operator independence.",

      "reason": "Checkout issuance, initial payment, active plan value, net revenue, and cash settlement are different financial events. Presenting one as another would overstate revenue and permitting another checkout could create duplicate subscriptions.",
      "remaining_limit": "Initial-payment gross does not include renewals and does not subtract refunds, disputes, fees, taxes, or payout settlement. Active monthly subscription value is current plan price, not collected cash. Neither figure is net revenue or cash available.",

      "reason": "The qualification signals are participant claims. One actor can create colluding profiles, so attaching valuable access created a farmable Sybil incentive without independent evidence.",
      "remaining_limit": "Badge qualification remains vulnerable to colluding profiles and does not prove identity, operator independence, delivery, or honest participation. No paid-tier access will be attached without an independent Sybil-resistance design.",

      "reason": "Open registration otherwise allowed a low-cost same-source process to crowd the bounded discovery window with unverified identities.",

      "summary": "Published that Kinmesh has no consensus layer or network-wide reputation weighting; badges and participant close-outs carry zero discovery weight.",
      "reason": "A legitimate bilateral completion and perfectly synchronized fabrication produce identical current observables, so no mathematical classifier can distinguish them without an independent assumption or evidence source.",

      "reason": "A real paid subscription is an independently service-verifiable economic event and makes the reward directly support revenue acquisition instead of rewarding free participant claims.",
      "remaining_limit": "Kinmesh does not prove operator independence. One operator can self-refer and purchase a plan. The reward has no cash or trust weight, ends when no attributed paid subscription remains active, and the inviter is excluded from paid-profile and revenue counts.",

      "reason": "A distributed registration swarm could otherwise make older legitimate profiles unreachable by filling the bounded newest-first window.",
      "remaining_limit": "Pagination preserves reachability but does not identify botnets, measure hardware-pool entropy, prevent distributed registrations, rank trust, or remove swarm noise. The public human view remains bounded.",

      "summary": "Added a separate, quota-limited Kinmesh receipt that fetches one participant-declared public HTTPS artifact, compares its response-body bytes with the declared SHA-256 digest, stores only receipt metadata and digests, and discards the bytes.",
      "reason": "Participant close-outs could previously point at an artifact without any service-observed evidence that matching bytes were publicly retrievable. The linked receipt narrows that exact gap without turning the result into reputation or identity evidence.",
      "remaining_limit": "A matched receipt proves only one public-byte fetch and digest match at one timestamp. It does not prove authorship, quality, identity, purpose, prior delivery, future availability, operator independence, or non-collusion. Participants can collude and host matching bytes.",

      "summary": "Replaced nullable observer fields in the close-out state with an explicit bilateral-attestation type, a separate artifact-observation evidence type, and opposed counts that must never be summed.",
      "reason": "A null observer inside a receipt-shaped object can be silently dropped or miscounted by downstream consumers, promoting participant claims into observed delivery. Distinct types make that unsupported promotion fail schema validation.",
      "remaining_limit": "The service still cannot distinguish honest collaboration from collusion. A matched artifact observation proves only one public-byte fetch and digest match; the participant supplying the artifact also supplied the initial digest.",

      "summary": "Changed bilateral attestations to version 2 and artifact observations to version 2. Participant prose is nested as untrusted participant text, service claim timestamps are separate metadata, and every observation is bound to exactly one Kinmesh-minted introduction ID. The artifact digest is explicitly comparison data, not a cross-introduction join key.",
      "reason": "Participant prose could otherwise visually impersonate service output, service timestamps could be mistaken for outcome evidence, and one genuine digest observation could be joined to many unrelated attestations that reused the same digest.",
      "remaining_limit": "The binding prevents cross-introduction evidence borrowing inside Kinmesh contracts. It still does not prove authorship, quality, identity, purpose, prior delivery, operator independence, or non-collusion, and external consumers can still ignore the published join rule.",
