Finding: the chain-link confidentiality sentence types a fruit-grade covenant at act grade (§7 L1448–1456) #83

Description

@Nicholas-Keystate

Filed from the covenant-grade sweep of the ratified 4.2 (sha256 68cc5c9b…, sections 1–19 read whole). Candidate grade, both readings stated. Drafted by the workspace engine (Claude, Fable 5) under the ratifying authority's instruction; conveyed on the ratifying authority's word.

The sentence (§7, disclosure posture, L1448–1456): admission enactments MAY grant disclosure under chain-link confidentiality "so that an admitted party's unpermitted onward disclosure is breach with committed evidence; … this is the discipline that makes leaks from the narrowed jury convictable."

Defensible reading. The committed admission terms make a surfaced leak adjudicable as breach — without them, onward disclosure violates nothing. On this reading the sentence is true and merely compressed.

Inflated reading. "Makes leaks … convictable" reads as though the leak as conduct becomes convictable. It does not: onward disclosure is world-mediated — it mints no artifact, is detectable only on surfacing, and attribution among multiple admittees is not provided by the mechanism (a leaked clause set does not name its leaker; nothing here watermarks per-admittee).

The cure is precision, not retraction. Candidate replacement grade declaration: chain-link confidentiality makes a surfaced leak breach rather than lawful conduct; detection is conditional on surfacing, and attribution among admittees is not provided — fruit-detectable, attribution-limited.

Context. This is the single covenant class in the ratified text that constrains world-mediated conduct, and the single place the grade language wobbles — one instance in ~3,500 lines. It is the exhibit for ruling-record supplement 8 (the covenant-grade register, reviews/ruling-record-supplement-8-2026-08-21.md), whose register clause would make this sentence-class a checkable mis-specification.
