Externality Invariant +Sentinel shall remain an external monitored surface at all times and shall not inherit trusted-core status by virtue of registration, telemetry delivery, or visibility inside OSOH. + +### 2.

Single-Purpose Credential Rule +Any Sentinel ingest credential must be scoped exclusively to monitored-surface event delivery into OSOH ingest and must not grant broader platform, operator, or trust privileges. + +### 4. Fail-Closed Admission Rule +If push evidence is absent, malformed, unverifiable, or inconsistent with governing requirements, Sentinel shall remain non-activated. No permissive fallback is allowed. + +### 5. Hybrid Proof Rule +Push telemetry alone is insufficient for activation. Sentinel may reach active monitored-surface status only when pull evidence and push evidence both exist and are coherently verified. + +## MVP Meaning +Push participation is admissible only as bounded telemetry contribution inside a Level 4 hybrid monitoring model. OSOH remains the authority boundary.
