Public claims review

Status: customer boundary doc. Required topic public_claims_review from contracts/production-admission.v0.json customer_boundary_lane.required_doc_topics. The forbidden phrases below come directly from customer_boundary_lane.forbidden_doc_claims.

Anything Gestalt publishes — docs, sales material, status pages, blog posts, in-product strings, customer-facing emails — must pass the same claim review the runtime applies.

Phrases the customer surface must not assert

Section titled “Phrases the customer surface must not assert”

The following phrases are listed in contracts/production-admission.v0.json customer_boundary_lane.forbidden_doc_claims. They MUST NOT appear as positive claims. They MAY appear inside fenced code blocks or block quotes only as things Gestalt does NOT claim or expose:

public launch
production ready
automated lawyer
automated accountant
raw biometric storage
raw DB access

Each phrase corresponds to a specific contract or runtime invariant:

Gestalt has not declared public launch. The pilot admission lane keeps public_launch_claim_remains_refused: true.

Gestalt has not declared itself production ready. Production admission is globally disabled by default; admission is per-pilot, per-operation, and bounded by the signed pilot admission record.

Gestalt is not an automated lawyer. Advisor operations are scoped lenses with structured opinions, not autonomous legal judgement.

Gestalt is not an automated accountant. Period close is candidate-only in v0; economy.periodClose is fixture-rehearsed and is not a binding accounting close.

Gestalt does not perform raw biometric storage. The HumanAuth surface accepts a credential ID hash and public verification material only; biometric template material is refused.

Gestalt does not expose raw DB access. Read models project tenant-scoped membrane-safe summaries with explicit citations; the underlying store is not exposed.

deploy/hetzner-cloudflare/m56-doc-claim-check.sh reads the forbidden phrase list from contracts/production-admission.v0.json customer_boundary_lane.forbidden_doc_claims, walks every markdown file under docs/, strips fenced code blocks and block-quoted lines, and exits non-zero if any phrase appears outside those exempt zones. The script is the gate; the contract is the source of truth.

  1. Run sh deploy/hetzner-cloudflare/m56-doc-claim-check.sh. It must exit 0.
  2. Cross-reference any operation-level claim against contracts/production-admission.v0.json operation_maturity and docs/reference/capability-state.md. The two must agree.
  3. Cross-reference any pilot-related claim against the active pilot admission record’s admitted_operations and excluded_operations fields.
  4. If a claim cannot be sourced to the contract, the contract is the answer: do not publish.
