# 5.14 Specification vs Current MVP Coverage

The Layer 0 protocol model is broader than the current executable prototype.

This distinction must remain explicit.

| Decision | Protocol Status | Current MVP / Validation        |
| -------- | --------------- | ------------------------------- |
| ADMIT    | Specified       | Implemented — Validated         |
| DENY     | Specified       | Implemented — Validated         |
| DEFER    | Specified       | Not implemented — Not validated |
| COLLAPSE | Specified       | Not implemented — Not validated |

The current Admission Kernel MVP demonstrates selected properties including:

* Control Plane / Execution Plane separation,
* signed Execution Permits,
* execution-path Permit verification,
* scope enforcement,
* expiry,
* authority revocation,
* replay protection,
* intent binding,
* Admission Artifacts,
* and artifact verification.

Its current core execution-scenario set covers:

1. Valid Execution → ADMIT
2. No Permit → blocked / DENY path
3. Scope Failure → DENY
4. Permit Tampering → DENY
5. Replay → DENY
6. Revocation → DENY

### Artifact Verification / Audit Reconstruction

Artifact Verification / Audit Reconstruction is tracked separately from these six execution scenarios.

The MVP Blueprint defines Audit Reconstruction as a minimum delivery requirement and **Reconstructable** as one of the four MVP acceptance criteria.

The dedicated Admission Artifact Verification Specification defines seven verification stages:

1. signature validation,
2. policy integrity,
3. authority-state reconstruction,
4. scope validation,
5. replay checking,
6. revocation checking,
7. execution-result integrity.

This evidence-validation track should not be counted as a seventh execution decision scenario; it validates reconstructability rather than a separate ADMIT / DENY branch.

These results support the current implemented ADMIT and DENY paths.

They do not establish implementation or validation of:

```
DEFER
COLLAPSE
```

#### Specified

The decision exists in the protocol or formal research model.

#### Implemented

The decision path exists in executable code.

#### Validated

The implemented behavior has been exercised against defined tests or scenarios.

#### Independently Reproduced

The behavior has been reproduced outside the originating implementation or team.

The current status therefore remains:

```
Specified
≠
Implemented
≠
Validated
≠
Independently Reproduced
```

And the governing documentation rule is:

> **Protocol completeness does not imply implementation completeness.**
