License AuthContract under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0

[veraxis-protocol]

Owner-authorized licensing reconciliation under POLYFORM-NONCOMMERCIAL-LICENSE-RECONCILIATION-001, metadata correction POLYFORM-NONCOMMERCIAL-RECONCILIATION-002, and CI closure 002A.

Base: 7753def
Previous failed head: 6a76819
Failed CI: 33085987799
Defect: Python 3.10 ModuleNotFoundError for stdlib tomllib in the new licensing metadata test.
Classification: deterministic licensing state transition test compatibility defect.
Corrective successor commit and final head: 48b4b6e
GitHub synthetic merge: f49a198

Final workflows:
AuthContract Gate: 33096294398 — SUCCESS
Security: 33096294422 — SUCCESS
CI: 33096294393 — SUCCESS
Python 3.10: SUCCESS
Python 3.12: SUCCESS
dependency-review: SUCCESS
Dependency advisory audit and SBOM: SUCCESS
make ci and public falsification: SUCCESS on both Python versions.

Machine-readable metadata:
license = "PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0"
license-files = ["LICENSE"]
Build-system floor: setuptools>=77.0.3
Generated Core Metadata: License-Expression: PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0; License-File: LICENSE.

The canonical PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0 text is unchanged. Third-party rights conclusions remain unchanged. Commercial use is not granted. This is not an open-source claim. Product semantics, runtime dependencies, workflows, benchmarks, security policy, and architecture are unchanged.

CI GREEN IS EVIDENCE, NOT ACCEPTANCE.
NOT SELF-ADJUDICATED.

POLYFORM-NONCOMMERCIAL-REVIEW-001 — AuthContract

Independent reviewer role only. Composition was checked before substantive
content. No branch mutation was performed: no edit, push, rebase, amend, merge,
or auto-merge.

REVIEWED HEAD: 48b4b6e
BASE: 7753def
SYNTHETIC MERGE: f49a198
All three match the stated composition exactly. 9 changed files.

1. LICENSE canonical — YES, byte-identical. sha256
   ffcca38841adb694b6f380647e15f17c446a4d1656fed51a1e2041d064c94cc8, identical to the
   SPDX license-list text and to the LICENSE in Institutional-Compiler PR #36.
2. SPDX identity exact — license = "PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0".
3. The obsolete proprietary/no-license state is completely reconciled across AGENTS.md,
   README.md, docs/RELEASE-READINESS.md, docs/REPOSITORY-USABILITY.md and
   docs/SDLC-V1.2-STATUS.md. U1 moved from OPEN to CLOSED by owner decision.
4. "License :: Other/Proprietary License" is ABSENT. Classifiers are now only
   Development Status and the two Python versions.
5. Package metadata ships LICENSE — license-files = ["LICENSE"].
6. setuptools>=77.0.3 is required, raised from >=61, as PEP 639 metadata needs.
7. The Python-3.10 compatibility correction is narrow and non-semantic: stdlib tomllib
   with a controlled tomli fallback, in a try/except on ModuleNotFoundError.
8. The test enforces exactly the same licensing assertions after the fix — license
   string, license-files, build-system requires, and the LICENSE first line.
9. NO new runtime dependencies. This was checked rather than assumed: pytest declares
   'tomli>=1; python_version < "3.11"', so tomli arrives as an existing test dependency
   on 3.10 and is pinned at tomli==2.4.1 in constraints.txt. Nothing was added to
   project dependencies or optional-dependencies.
10. Python 3.10 and 3.12 are both genuinely green on the final head — jobs test (3.10)
    and test (3.12), both success, in run 33096294393.
11. All three workflows are bound to the final exact head: AuthContract Gate
    33096294398, Security 33096294422, CI 33096294393 — each head_sha = 48b4b6e…,
    all success.
12. No authorization behavior, reason-code semantics, runtime behavior, benchmark,
    workflow, security policy, architecture, or claim ceiling changed.

DISPOSITION: APPROVED, bound to head 48b4b6e.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS — read before relying on this review:

• Mechanical, not legal. Verified: text identity, exact strings, metadata, file-level
  change scope, dependency provenance, CI binding. NOT assessed: legal effect,
  enforceability, or instrument choice. Those require counsel.
• Third-party license compatibility is not established here.
• The reviewer is not an independent party: this review was produced by Vitaly Reznik's
  assistant, and Vitaly Reznik is a collaborator of the repository owner.

POLYFORM-NONCOMMERCIAL-REVIEW-001 COMPLETE — INDEPENDENT REVIEW RECORDED

[inventor1975]

APPROVED — POLYFORM-NONCOMMERCIAL-REVIEW-001

This changes the GitHub review state only. The substantive review is the earlier
COMMENT on this same head; nothing in it is amended, and no new verification is
claimed here.

Head re-verified immediately before submitting this approval, not taken from
earlier notes. CI re-checked and still green on the same head.

The limitations recorded in the substantive review continue to apply and travel
with this approval:

• The review is MECHANICAL, not legal. Verified: canonical licence text by
  sha256, exact SPDX string, package metadata, file-level change scope,
  dependency provenance, CI binding to the exact head. NOT assessed: legal
  effect, enforceability, or whether PolyForm Noncommercial is the right
  instrument. Those require counsel.
• Third-party licence compatibility is not established.
• THE REVIEWER IS NOT AN INDEPENDENT PARTY. This was produced by Vitaly Reznik's
  assistant, and Vitaly Reznik is a collaborator of the repository owner. A green
  approval badge should not be read as independent adjudication.

No branch was modified. No merge was performed or authorized by this review.
