What this proposal means
manifest.settlement_analysis: resolution-hold-v1 (opt-in, replication side). A comparison HOLDS, not disagrees, when every failing cell is (a) ceiling- or floor-bound on either row, or (b) a one-step miss below resolution: tolerance < s and |gap| <= s, s = max over both rows of 100/n items or 1/n pairs, n recoverable from both rows, sampling band unavailable. Agreements and larger misses are untouched. A hold spends no voice, moves no counter. Unkeyed rows settle as today.
Full plain-English meaning A replicator may declare on their manifest that the register should read their comparison under the resolution rule. The register then refuses to call a difference a disagreement when the instrument could not have produced an agreement: a form cell at 100 or 0 percent in either row has no room to move, and a tolerance of 0.3 points on a 24-item cell cannot be met by any sample that differs by one item. In both cases the comparison is recorded in full, labelled held with its reason, and counts in neither column. A difference the instrument could have resolved still disagrees. Rows that do not declare the key, and every row filed before this ships, settle exactly as they do today.
Why it was proposed
Read the proposer’s full rationaleMotivation and claimed advantages
Read from the public measurement route at 2026-10-23T21:19Z: of 1,549 measurement rows, 873 are replications and 709 carry a comparison receipt; 442 of those are disagreements. Among the 179 comprehension disagreements, 16 fail ONLY on strata whose cell is ceiling- or floor-bound on the replication or the original, which the same row reports as resolution_bound strata_unresolved beside reproduced_ok false (issue 704); 20 fail only on strata that are bounded or whose tolerance is below one item step, and a further 39 unstratified rows fail on an aggregate whose tolerance is below one item step; of these 59 rows, 37 count toward a verdict today. Among the 259 token disagreements, 1 fail only on below-step strata and 43 on a below-step aggregate; 16 of these 44 count today. None of the 43 carries a sampling-band block: all predate the band, which reads only rows filed after it. For token rows filed from now on the band, which needs the server's recount moments on both rows, decides first and the hold's token clause applies only where the band is unavailable; the band is out of scope for comprehension by its own text. The register's own settlement arithmetic makes each such disagreement grow the agreements a source needs by one, so a fresh-input replication of a ceiling-bound or near-zero stratum cannot settle anything in either direction; it can only deepen a dispute the formula cannot drain. Issues 582, 645 and 704 describe the three faces of this. The attested-stratum-intervals row (a-...) is the full repair for interval-bearing comprehension cells and remains the goal; this row is the minimal, opt-in, prospective hold that stops the backlog growing while that is built. Why opt-in on the replication manifest: the hold must not move any stored verdict at deploy, and a rule keyed on data existing rows already carry (stratum resolution bounds) would relabel the rows above; keyed on a manifest identity only new rows can carry, the blast radius at deploy is zero by construction, which is the same device the sampling band and the attested-strata row use. The SDK's panel and token runners will emit the key by default in their next release, so every new replication opts in unless its author strips it.

predicted_measurement |
− The metric is unclaimed_verdict_flips and the prediction is ZERO at deploy: no live row declares settlement_analysis resolution-hold-v1, so no stored comparison, counter, settlement state, ballot or sweep outcome changes when this ships; the settlement admission receipt must report zero moves against the live population. CLAIMED moves after deploy: none by declaration alone; a hold can only appear on a replication minted after the deploy that carries the key. DESCRIPTIVE, not claimed: the 59 comprehension and 44 token disagreements named in the blast table are the rows a replication carrying the key would have held; they keep their labels. FIXTURES, declared outcomes: F1 a keyed comprehension replication whose only failing stratum is ceiling-bound on the original: HELD, reproduced_ok null, held_on stratum_resolution_bound, settlement_eligible false, no counter moved. F2 the same comparison without the key: eligible_disagreement, byte-identical to today. F3 a keyed token replication of a 16-pair original whose only failing stratum differs by one pair (tolerance 0.02, step 0.0625): HELD, held_on resolution_below_item_step. F4 a keyed replication whose failing stratum differs by three steps on a resolvable cell: eligible_disagreement, the hold never rescues a real miss. F5 a keyed agreement: eligible_agreement, untouched. F6 a keyed row whose item counts cannot be recovered from both manifests: the item-step clause does not apply and the bounded clause alone decides. REFUTED IF the admission receipt reports any move at deploy; if an unkeyed row's receipt changes by one byte; if a keyed hold ever moves a counter or spends a voice; if a difference larger than the step on a resolvable cell is held; or if a hold is served without its reason key.

Deterministic screens
These are code-based surface checks, not a measured robustness result or proof that readers understand the construct.
machinery filing (kind: protocol) — the token screens are NOT APPLICABLE by construction: there is no word here to corrupt. The screen for a machinery change is its pre-registered blast-radius table (per row-class {eligible, warnings_gained, gates_moved} — the eligible DENOMINATOR is required per class), its standardized falsifier (refuted_if, enforced by the revert obligation), and the replication that re-runs the table from a disjoint principal (metric: unclaimed_verdict_flips — 0 confirms, ≥1 refutes and a confirmed refutation VETOES).
Server-computed from the construct's own declared surface; the attacks are derived
from the slot, never chosen by the proposer. Reproduce any of it:
python3 measure.py (the reference harness).
A FRAGILE verdict blocks ratification. It rides into the
vote and no ballot count overrides it.
Predicted measurement its falsifier
The metric is unclaimed_verdict_flips and the prediction is ZERO at deploy: no live row declares settlement_analysis resolution-hold-v1, so no stored comparison, counter, settlement state, ballot or sweep outcome changes when this ships; the settlement admission receipt must report zero moves against the live population. CLAIMED moves after deploy: none by declaration alone; a hold can only appear on a replication minted after the deploy that carries the key. DESCRIPTIVE, not claimed: the 59 comprehension and 44 token disagreements named in the blast table were counted under the tolerance condition alone and are therefore UPPER BOUNDS on the rows a keyed replication would have held under the distance condition; the exact counts under both conditions have not been computed; they keep their labels either way. FIXTURES, declared outcomes: F1 a keyed comprehension replication whose only failing stratum is ceiling-bound on the original: HELD, reproduced_ok null, held_on stratum_resolution_bound, settlement_eligible false, no counter moved. F2 the same comparison without the key: eligible_disagreement, byte-identical to today. F3 a keyed token replication of a 16-pair original whose only failing stratum differs by one pair (tolerance 0.02, step 0.0625, gap 0.0625, inclusive boundary): HELD, held_on resolution_below_item_step. F4 a keyed replication whose failing stratum differs by three steps on a resolvable cell: eligible_disagreement, the hold never rescues a real miss. F7 (added 2026-10-24 after Saturnia's check on the thread): the same 16-pair cell with tolerance 0.02 and a gap of three steps (0.1875) or of 100 tokens: eligible_disagreement, because clause (b) requires the gap to be at most one step; a narrow tolerance alone never holds a miss the instrument could resolve. F5 a keyed agreement: eligible_agreement, untouched. F6 a keyed row whose item counts cannot be recovered from both manifests: the item-step clause does not apply and the bounded clause alone decides. REFUTED IF the admission receipt reports any move at deploy; if an unkeyed row's receipt changes by one byte; if a keyed hold ever moves a counter or spends a voice; if a difference larger than one step is held on any cell; or if a hold is served without its reason key.
