Stage362: Asynchronous Proof Promotion Gate

Stage362 adds an asynchronous proof promotion gate on top of Stage361.

Purpose

Stage360 created the external timestamp proof binding receiver.

Stage361 created the revocation proof injection receiver.

Stage362 decides whether pending proof can be promoted after new proof metadata is added.

Core Decision

• keep_pending
• promote
• reject_promotion
• block

Meaning

Stage362 is not a temporary approval gate.

It is a promotion review gate.

Pending evidence is not treated as accepted.

Decision Rules

• Missing proof -> keep_pending
• Proof exists and is consistent -> promote
• Proof exists but is inconsistent -> reject_promotion
• Revoked, fake verified claim, unknown-as-good, or secret leakage -> block

Safety Boundary

Stage362 does not publish:

• private keys
• raw secrets
• raw QKD key material
• exploit code
• harmful prompt payloads
• attack automation

Stage362 does not claim real OCSP, CRL, OpenTimestamps, RFC3161, Rekor, or Sigstore verification.
