## Approval Surface

| Option | Description | Selected |
|--------|-------------|----------|
| extend `promotion_gate` and its logs | preserves continuity with the current trust gate | ✓ |
| invent a separate evaluator-modification ledger | would fragment the trust surface | |

## Modified vs Unmodified Approval

| Option | Description | Selected |
|--------|-------------|----------|
| make modified approval explicit | preserves evaluator-divergence signal | ✓ |
| collapse all approvals into one status | hides what the human corrected | |

## Scope

| Option | Description | Selected |
|--------|-------------|----------|
| bounded approval-time modification record | closes the immediate gap | ✓ |
| full evaluator analytics and comparison dashboards | too wide for the immediate next milestone | |
