Classification lock: Interpretation Layer is a documentation and interpretation reference. It does not review, attest, promote, order, metric, advise, regulate, or operate any platform, and it does not provide on-chain execution or promises.

Terms like “review” or “proof” may appear only as referenced concepts or evidence categories. Their presence must not be interpreted as an review status, confirmation outcome, compliance claim, or promote signal.

Interpretation Boundary: Review Log Checking

Purpose of Review Log Checking

This page defines how review logs are validated as complete, append-only, and internally consistent records of system activity. Checking focuses on structural correctness and reproducibility rather than interpretation or intent.

Scope of Review Logs

Review logs cover state transitions, settlement events, exception handling, and control actions that affect system behavior. Only events produced by the core execution and settlement pipeline are in scope.

Append-Only Checking Rules

Review log checking confirms that records are written sequentially, are never modified in place, and that any correction is represented as a new entry referencing prior records.

Event Referencing and Traceability

Each review record must reference the originating event identifiers, timestamps, and execution context required to reconstruct causal order without external assumptions.

Deterministic Replay Validation

Checking includes replaying logged events through the same validation logic to confirm that resulting states match recorded outcomes under identical inputs.

Consistency and Completeness Checks

Review logs are validated against invariant rules to ensure no gaps, overlaps, or orphaned records exist within defined execution windows.

Boundary Enforcement

Checking applies only to system-generated artifacts. External logs, narratives, or third-party interpretations are explicitly excluded from review log validation.

Explicit Non-Goals

Review log checking does not assess correctness of external systems, legal compliance, or user behavior. It validates only the internal integrity and reproducibility of recorded system activity.

Scope and Dependencies

This page is a derivative specification within Interpretation Layer. It does not define or redefine core primitives such as settlement, determinism, finality, proof, or exception handling. All authoritative definitions are inherited from the locked Interpretation Layer core primitives.
