Runtime boundary
Design and test-contract bundle; no runtime implementation or operational certification is claimed. The manifest, schemas, validators, test suite, and task identities are complete enough for repository-native implementation; no placeholder task code is included.

Validators
| Validator ID | Kind | Automation | Severity | Failure action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
validator.life.civic-legal-public-services.01_official_law_service_form_and_deadline_source |
live_provenance | hybrid | blocker | escalate |
validator.life.civic-legal-public-services.02_legal_advice_and_political_persuasion_boundary |

validator.life.civic-legal-public-services.03_deadline_date_and_dependency_calculation |
deterministic | deterministic | major | repair |
validator.life.civic-legal-public-services.04_dispute_chronology_and_document_completeness |
evidence_check | hybrid | minor | conditional_pass |
Validator checks return itemized evidence and support pass, conditional_pass, fail, inconclusive, or a governed repair/escalation path. Generation does not self-certify.
Existing execution substrate
Tasks to reuse: contradiction_scan, decompose_problem, extract_schema_from_text, llm_boolean_gate, llm_enum_route, plan_decision_pack
Operators to reuse: branch, fallback_chain, for_each, optional_step, seq, try_catch, until_ok
Cross-intelligence handoff
- artifact_id, type, version, producer capability, provenance, scope, assumptions, uncertainty, sensitivity, validation status, and next action
- No free-text handoff may replace a required typed artifact when a downstream validator depends on structure.
Information-loss checks: - all hard constraints preserved - all blocker findings preserved - source scope and date preserved - assumptions and dissent preserved - units, time zones, identifiers, and uncertainty preserved
Evaluation and release
Suite: ../evaluation_suites/civic-legal-public-services.yaml
- 100% schema validity for released artifacts
- 100% material traceability
- no unresolved blocker validator
- no missed critical escalation in the approved benchmark
- documented conditional-pass limits and human gates
Promotion to implementation maturity I1
- Create repository-native input and output contracts for every candidate task ID.
- Implement deterministic portions of validators and declare independent human or model review for semantic portions.
- Connect a provenance-preserving source resolver and enforce freshness and jurisdiction rules.
- Pass the per-pack suite and dependency regression suites at release thresholds.
- Complete security, privacy, accessibility, and domain-owner review appropriate to risk.
- Publish LMETA/LCDL exact-overlay links and CI parity checks.
Exact-overlay identity
The LMETA and LCDL pages share the concept ID, semantic version, capability IDs, and invariant IDs. tools/validate_pack.py checks this parity.
