feat: rule Q63 in three limbs; take the human headcount off /legal/privacy/; close R10; ratify /med-arb/

Pouya's rulings, 2026-09-02.

Q63(a) — wording approved with two trims: the editorial closing sentence is
struck, and the mailbox clause is rewritten per (b).

Q63(b) — info@smlcompany.ca is a delegated mailbox read by Pouya and by
administrative staff. The page said "anyone who can reach that mailbox"; it now
says who. The answer reached four sentences, not the one the ruling named, in
three sections: "my mailbox" had been written as a personal one throughout.

Q63(c) — the account root credential is held by Pouya, has no programmatic key
and carries MFA. The page now states the first two.

And the answer to (c) took the human headcount off the page. His attestation:
"two people is an exaggeration... a handful is accurate — the simulation counts
identities, not humans, and the two are not the same claim." The enumeration was
exhaustive and the inference off it was not: two IAM identities is a LOWER BOUND
on people and was published as an exact count. The page now attributes read
access to "the account's administrators — me, and the small number of people who
administer it with me", and the false inference is corrected at its source in
docs/reference/intake-table-access-verification.md as well as on the page.

R10 — CLOSED on a fresh one-line confirmation, not on the 2026-08-28 stamp.
ADRIC, ADRIO, the three OBA sections and the CTF all current. Re-stamped on all
four stamp-bearing sites; the row stays live, because its trigger is an event.

/med-arb/ — ratified as shipped, no credential line restored. His note for the
record: med-arb is a service he provides, not a designation.

The tripwire is unchanged and proven both ways: exit 0 on the revised page,
exit 1 with 5 matches on the pre-correction bytes rebuilt from bd282aa.

A sentence added to back the correction had no command behind it. "The table
carries no policy of its own granting access to anyone" was published with
nothing in the repo establishing it — a DynamoDB resource policy is invisible to
describe-table, and every simulation on file asks what a principal may do.
Measured rather than deleted: get-resource-policy returns PolicyNotFoundException,
and describe-organization returns AWSOrganizationsNotInUseException, which is
what makes the Identity Center zero conclusive rather than merely local. Both
recorded as commands 7 and 8; R21 gains claim (v) and two falsifiers.

Q64 OPENED, with a TODO(pouya) and an unticked cutover item: "I hold it" is true
whether or not a second person holds it, and reads as sole custody one paragraph
below "the small number of people who administer it with me". The request to
strike the possessive now is declined with a reason — he dictated the clause —
and the page cannot ship while the TODO stands.

Two review rounds, 22 findings, 21 resolved, 1 declined. Nine of round 2's twelve
were defects in round 1's own repairs. Stopped at two per D19.

Gates, exit status read: check 0 · build 0 (23 pages) · check:claims 0 ·
og:proof 0 · check:intake 0 · lint 0 · router.test 0 (30/30) · lighthouse 0,
worst of 23 99/100/100/100, /legal/privacy/ 100/100/100.

Those are Pouya's own words from the Q63(c) ruling and they are **true
whether or not a second person holds it**; the defect is what a reader
takes from them, one paragraph below *"the small number of people who
administer it with me"*. Root is not an IAM principal and cannot be
simulated, so no measurement settles it — `get-account-summary` gives only
`AccountAccessKeysPresent: 0` and `AccountMFAEnabled: 1`. **Sole custody →
say so on the page, record it in §7, arm §12 R21. Not sole → strike the
possessive and keep the measured half.** `src/pages/legal/privacy.astro`

- [x] ✅ **Q63(b) ANSWERED 2026-09-02 — `info@smlcompany.ca` is a DELEGATED
MAILBOX: Pouya and administrative staff read it.** The page said *"anyone

mail half of the question on a lower standard than the table half. It now
states who reads it. The fact is in `AGENTS.md` §7 and **§12 R21's trigger
covers it** — like the AWS enumeration, nothing reports when a delegation
changes. ⚠️ **The answer reached FOUR sentences, not the one the question
named** — §Where it is stored twice, §How long it is kept once, §Who can
see it once — because *"my mailbox"* had been written as a personal one
throughout. That is the fifth partial sweep on this page's who-can-see-it
set; the section comment in `src/pages/legal/privacy.astro` enumerates
them **by opening phrase rather than by count** — deliberately, because the

and it is the only section on the site whose subject lives entirely outside
this repository. It is also where the approval he reserved lands: Q63(a)
approved the wording, and the wording then changed under the same ruling
when the headcount came out.
**Then read the two `/contact/` sentences against it, which is a judgement
rather than a defect** — `/contact/received/` says *"email me directly at
`info@smlcompany.ca` — that reaches me whether or not the receipt did"* and
`/contact/` says *"Send the form below, or email me directly"*. **Neither is
false and neither asserts exclusivity**; the mail does reach him. But
`/legal/privacy/` now discloses that administrative staff read that mailbox,
and a party who has just been told to send dispute detail *"directly"* to
the neutral may take more from the word than is true. A sweep of all 23
built pages found these two as the only other surfaces touching the point.
Raised as **consider**, not blocking, by `adversarial-reviewer` round 1.
⚠️ **AND A THIRD SURFACE THAT SWEEP COULD NOT REACH — the CONSENT string,
`src/data/intake.ts`, rendered on `/contact/`:** *"I consent to **Pouya
Lajevardi** storing and using the information in this form…"*. It names a
natural person as the party storing and using the data, while the policy it
links to now describes the practice's mailbox, administrative staff and a
shared AWS account. **Nothing here is false** — he is the accountable
individual and staff act for him — but it is the one sentence a submitter
actually agrees to, and it is the PIPEDA basis. **The sweep that missed it
was anchored on mailbox vocabulary** (*"email me directly"*, *"reaches
me"*), which is R8's sharpest edge: the right command, the wrong anchor.
**Decide it here rather than leaving it implicit** — either widen the
consent, or record that it names the responsible individual deliberately.
Either way the consent string joins the surfaces the mailbox question
governs, so the next answer reaches it. `adversarial-reviewer`, round 2.

(2) WHO ELSE CAN READ `info@smlcompany.ca`? The paragraph below says
"anyone who can reach that mailbox", which is true whatever the
answer — but §7 records the mail host and the SES identities and NOT
the mailbox's access list, so this repository cannot state the

say so and this becomes specific like the table sentence above it.
