  "status_detail": "Recorded 6 November 2026 on an external audit, which showed that the earlier hash left admissibility, class and benchmark unprotected. An anchor held outside CHQ is still owed.",
  "rule": "Each issued forecast carries a second, full-length hash over its complete issuance specification: identifier, claim, class, probability, benchmark, confidence band, window, falsification condition, admissibility, resolution rule and issued timestamp. A change to any of them trips the gate. Outcome and review fields are outside the hash by design.",
