# Promotion And Board Reconciliation Policy Report

Date: 2026-04-19

Parent framework: `2026-04-19-scene-skill-102-full-coverage-framework-plan`

Parent route: `Route 6 / promotion and board reconciliation`

Plan: `2026-04-19-promotion-and-board-reconciliation-policy-plan.md`

## Scope

This is a policy-only route. It defines how later reconciliation may update official scene-state assets.

This route did not:

- modify `src/generated_scene/analyzer.rs`
- modify `src/generated_scene/generator.rs`
- update `tests/fixtures/generated_scene/scene_execution_board_2026-04-18.json`
- promote any scene

## Policy Inputs

The policy covers these status inputs:

- `auto-pass`
- `fail-closed-known`
- `adjudicated-valid-host-bridge`
- `timeout-as-pass-candidate`
- `timeout-as-fail-closed-candidate`
- `timeout-still-unreadable`
- `timeout-rerun-error`

## Promotion Thresholds

| Input status | Candidate board status | Auto-update board |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `auto-pass` | `framework-auto-pass-candidate` | no |
| `fail-closed-known` | `framework-structured-fail-closed` | no |
| `adjudicated-valid-host-bridge` | `framework-valid-host-bridge` | no |
| `timeout-as-pass-candidate` | `hygiene-pass-candidate` | no |
| `timeout-as-fail-closed-candidate` | `hygiene-fail-closed-candidate` | no |

## Board Update Rules

1. Diagnostic reruns, hygiene interpretations, and route-local follow-ups cannot directly update the official execution board.
2. Board changes require a dedicated reconciliation plan that names source assets and target statuses.
3. Pass-like promotion requires complete generation evidence under the agreed sweep or validation budget.
4. Structured fail-closed is framework-supported coverage, not execution pass.
5. Adjudicated host-bridge scenes remain host-bridge classified unless a later implementation closes their original expected contract.

## Timeout Hygiene Representation

Raw `source-unreadable` status must be preserved. A hygiene-aware status can be published alongside it:

- `timeout-as-pass-candidate`
- `timeout-as-fail-closed-candidate`
- `timeout-still-unreadable`
- `timeout-rerun-error`

## Structured Fail-Closed Representation

Structured fail-closed is recognized framework coverage when:

- a generation report exists
- the blocker is named
- missing pieces or failed gates are recorded
- a diagnostic payload such as `contractSnapshot` is available

It is not an execution pass.

## Stop Statement

Route 6 policy is published. Do not update the execution board under this plan.
