Positions and evidence dockets issued before 4 May 2026 state CHQ-D-2026-ESG, the Evidentiary Sufficiency Gate, as their issuance instrument. CHQ-P-2026-016 and its docket CHQ-ED-2026-020, issued 4 May 2026, state CHQ-D-2026-PIG, the Position Issuance Gate. No instrument recorded the change at the time. This record does.\n\nThe transition. From 4 May 2026, a Position issues under CHQ-D-2026-PIG. The Position Issuance Gate applies the evidentiary sufficiency test of CHQ-D-2026-ESG as one of its conditions, and adds the Adversarial Paragraph Protocol (CHQ-D-2026-PIG-APP) and declared falsification criteria. The ESG therefore continues to operate, as a test inside the PIG rather than as the issuing instrument.\n\nArtifacts issued under the ESG. Each remains valid under the gate in force on its issuance date. None is reissued. An amendment to such an artifact does not change the gate under which it was issued. Any Position issued from the date of this record states CHQ-D-2026-PIG as its issuing gate.\n\nWhy this is recorded late. The gap was found during the September 2026 registry reconciliation. It is recorded now, without backdating, so that the record states what happened and when it was noticed.",
