§4::PRINCIPLES
  ZERO_AMBIGUITY:
    RULE::"Gate decisions include condition, measurement, threshold, actual_value"
    REASON::"LLM parsing requires explicitness; ambiguity drifts reconstruction"
  EVIDENCE_OVER_ASSERTION:
    RULE::"All decisions carry metrics, logs, concrete evidence"
    REASON::"Prevents hallucinated confidence; grounds verdicts in observable facts"
  KAIROS_AWARENESS:
    RULE::"Validation windows have time bounds; account for window drift"
    REASON::"Risk increases with validation age; stale validation creates false confidence"
  ARES_RIGOR:
    RULE::"Simulate failure modes; require active defense, not absence of failure"
    REASON::"Systems fail in novel ways; edge case testing surfaces hidden vulnerabilities"
  ACCOUNTABILITY_CHAIN:
    RULE::"Every approval carries authenticated decision_maker and ISO8601 timestamp"
    REASON::"Enables audit trail; prevents authority diffusion"
