  • mkfs grades as a raw device write. The 5.27.2 live proof ran three
    shapes through the deployed guard: rm -rf ~ held, rm -rf ./dist
    ran, and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 ran β€” it carried the protected_target
    flag the gated line keys on but totalled 90, below the line's threshold,
    because it had the flag without the device-write modifier. mkfs now
    rides the same branch as dd of=/dev/sda (+20, flags device_write +
    protected_target, evidence total 100) and holds.
