Both verdicts unanimous, no dissent. §10.1 — DID-vs-ChittyID: Option A (DID-as-display-label). The `did:chitty:channel:*` form is a human-readable alias only; the canonical ChittyID (VV-G-LLL-SSSS-T-YM-C-X) is minted alongside and is the authoritative identifier in storage, lookup, audit, and ledger. Respects chittycanon://gov/governance#identityRules.prohibition. §10.2 — P/L/T/E/A classification: Option B (heterogeneous per-surface typing). Cloudflare Workers / GH Actions runners → L (virtual). VM Claude Code / ChatGPT MCP → P (Synthetic). Homelab nodes → L (physical). Overrides the prior "recommended Option B (uniform L)" framing; uniform L flattened distinct semantics. Aligns with global CLAUDE.md "Claude contexts are Person (P), Synthetic — NEVER Thing". Changes: - §10.1 / §10.2: open-question blocks replaced with closed RULING blocks - §0 banner: "open questions" callout replaced with "rulings applied" - §0 terminology: channel type framing updated to heterogeneous - §1 mandate 1: registration response returns canonical chitty_id + display-label did; broker-scoped key unchanged - §6 wiring table: explicit Entity type column added per Option B - Frontmatter: decisions[] array added recording both panel adjudications; modified bumped (already 2026-06-10) - Provenance footer: ruling revision logged Status posture: remains DRAFT pending operator promotion review.
