Builder decisions (not Drive data)
- VERSION = v0.1 — basis: Concept version taken from the frozen T01 — HQ Concept Prototypes artifact version (v0.1).
- CURRENT_POINTER = true — basis: SocioLens — Programme Status & Authority Register v0.6 status for "T01 — HQ Concept Prototypes v0.1": "STRUCTURAL PROTOTYPES; NOT PUBLIC CANONICAL THEORY PAGES."
- VISIBILITY = PUBLIC — basis: Gate Update 05 §12 (approved): T01 Concept Prototypes render visibly as STRUCTURAL PROTOTYPES / NOT CANONICAL PUBLIC THEORY; Protocol Addendum 01 AP-15/AP-17/AP-23 require rendered Concept pages. Proof-only page carrying the Register status banner.
- PROVENANCE_CLASS_RULE = SRC-THEORY-POHLE-THIEL-2020-DIGITAL-SOVEREIGNTY MAJOR_REINTERPRETATION: SECONDARY INTERPRETATION — basis: Publication System Amendment v1.1 §11 requires one provenance class per load-bearing theory relation. Rule: an explicit Proof Source Registry "Provenance class" value is used verbatim; otherwise a PRIMARY_ARTICULATION or LATER_DEVELOPMENT relation of a Source that holds the Source-level role PRIMARY_THEORY (the primary theoretical text itself) is PRIMARY-TEXT BASIS; any other relation fails closed.
