Proof status
Stage 4 — candidate proof architecture under named premises, without independent specialist verification and without theorem closure.
This release does not claim that OP4 or OP4d is proved. A qualifying fourth objective-boundary strategy class outside PCL, AGC, and ICI would break the current specification-coherence architecture. DBST-M1 remains the principal empirical mechanism test for the AGC / bounded-dynamic-tracking branch.
Included in v1.0.0
