CHQ-P-2026-014.** Publish, or decouple by amending CHQ-P-2026-015 to remove the 014 pairing and the A-032 reference. Execution order: first, before any other action.\n\n**RAT-B. CHQ Position Record Standard (PRS) v1.0.** Create and enter into force as the governing layer above the Position Record.\n\n**RAT-C. CHQ-P-2026-007.** Withdraw to draft under PRS-12. Repair and reissue as v2.0 with Supersedes: v1.0.\n\n**RAT-D. Assumption Register.** Publish. Default publication state is reference only, outside reliance eligibility under CHQ-R-2026-001, until the register's states have held for one full cycle. Override available to DM at any time.\n\n**RAT-E. Corrective amendment wave.** Execute the change order CHQ_Position_Record_Change_Order_2026_09_22 as one dated event across all affected positions, following the 2026-07-24 wave precedent.\n\n---\n\n## BASIS\n\nChange order dated 2026-09-22, 85 changes across CHQ-P-2026-001 through 016, derived from comparison of exported PDFs against rendered pages at record.cybersecurityhq.com.\n\nPolicy direction dated 2026-09-22, thirteen calls, companion to the change order.\n\n---\n\n## RECORDED DISSENT\n\nThe analytical recommendation was to split this ratification in two, with a completeness gate between RAT-B and RAT-C, and to hold RAT-D outside reliance eligibility pending stability.\n\nDM ratified as a single instrument. The completeness gate is retained as execution step WAVE-2 rather than as a ratification gate. The reliance limitation on RAT-D is retained as a PRS default rather than as a ratification condition.\n\nRecorded under the principle that dissent against a ratified instrument is logged, not repeated.\n\n---\n\n## EXECUTION SEQUENCE\n\n| Step | Action | Depends on | State |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| RAT-A | Publish or decouple 014 | none | open |\n| RAT-B | PRS v1.0 in force | none | drafted |\n| WAVE-1 | Map all 85 changes to PRS provisions | RAT-B | open |\n| WAVE-2 | Completeness pass: any change not decided by a PRS provision is a gap in PRS | WAVE-1 | open |\n| RAT-C | Withdraw 007 | RAT-B | open |\n| RAT-D | Publish assumption register, reference only | RAT-B | open |\n| WAVE-3 | Execute amendments, recompute hashes, publish reconciliation note | WAVE-2, RAT-A | open |\n| WAVE-4 | Rebuild site from canonical PDFs | WAVE-3 | open |\n| RAT-C2 | Reissue 007 v2.0 | RAT-C | open |\n\n---\n\n## STANDING ITEMS NOT AUTHORIZED BY THIS INSTRUMENT\n\n- Ratification of the Operational Evidence primitive, open since CHQ-P-2026-010, March 2026.\n- Publication of any new position. Four candidates identified 2026-09-22, all held.\n- Promotion of the four-evidence-class claim currently resident in CHQ-P-2026-012 Context to an instrument of its own.",
