    review_required: "counsel"
    public_publication: "never; partner-tier only"

  evidentiary_artifact_gate:
    description: "Receipts whose contents are evidence in a specific counterparty engagement"
    decision: "scoped to the engagement; partner-tier"
    review_required: "counsel"
    public_publication: "fact-of-existence may be disclosed; contents are not"

gate_invocation_rule: >
  Any surface that triggers ANY gate above is partner-tier or higher.
  Surfaces that trigger NO gate default to TIER_0_PUBLIC. The default
  is publication; the gates are the exceptions. This bias is intentional
  and protects the publication-first discipline.
