The diff touches only pipeline code, a CLI guard, a test, and a DECISIONS.md entry — no content/ records, no citations (verification found none), and AGENTS.md is untouched. The substantive change replaces an unfounded provenance assertion ("at the operator's terminal", inferred merely from an absent flag) with an honest absence record ("dispatcher not recorded (no --dispatcher was given)"), which strengthens §3.8/§3.9 rather than weakening anything. The scripts/aletheia.ts addition tightens rather than loosens the founder-door check: under GITHUB_ACTIONS a forced --case without --dispatcher now refuses to run, closing a bypass — the opposite of §3.15 check-weakening. The test update matches the new reason string. The DECISIONS.md entry is stamped with date and channel and records a founder direction in session, which §3.15 explicitly permits as operating record rather than confidential correspondence. Nothing here presents a draft as ratified or fabricates provenance.

The change improves provenance accuracy by replacing the unsupported inference that an omitted `--dispatcher` means execution occurred “at the operator's terminal” with an explicit statement that no dispatcher was recorded. It also strengthens the founder-dispatch gate in GitHub Actions by refusing a forced case when the workflow omits the dispatcher, rather than weakening or bypassing the check. The decision log records the rationale, date, review-note context, and supervision channel, and no citations, confidential content, assessments, or constitutional text are added or altered.

The diff only corrects forced-choice provenance text so an absent --dispatcher is recorded as absent rather than asserted as a terminal session, tightens CI so omitting the flag cannot bypass the founder-login door, updates the matching test, and appends a DECISIONS.md note. No AGENTS.md edit, no citations, no confidence material, and no weakening of §3.15 checks—the change strengthens an authorization gate and makes the stamped reason honest. Omitted-files list is empty and there is no content run to audit.

This is a pipeline-code fix that improves provenance honesty rather than touching content, citations, or AGENTS.md: the old reason string asserted 'dispatched by hand at the operator's terminal' whenever --dispatcher was absent, which was an unverified attribution, and the new string records exactly what is known ('dispatcher not recorded (no --dispatcher was given)'), in line with §3.8/§3.9 (record what is observed, label what is not verified). The scripts/aletheia.ts change only adds a refusal in CI — it removes no check and loosens none; the terminal-path optionality of the flag is pre-existing behavior, now labeled honestly, so this is check-tightening, not check-weakening. The DECISIONS.md entry follows the established append-only format and does not edit the constitution. Nothing fabricated, no confidence material, and the diff is complete, so no ground for violation or uncertainty is visible.
