Pouya LajevardiandClaude Opus 5 6aaf089b05 feat: rule Q62 by stating the truth; strike the /med-arb/ gloss; re-stamp R18
Pouya's four rulings of 2026-09-01, applied 2026-09-02.

Q62 — RULED "state the truth", not "remove the access". /legal/privacy/
now says two people can read the intake table, names their role, and adds
the two stronger facts the false sentence had crowded out: the handler
role holds PutItem only, and adr-sml-deploy is implicitDeny on all seven
read and write actions. Wording is subject to Pouya's read-through —
Q63(a), with a TODO(pouya) beside the copy.

The ruling named one sentence; a vocabulary sweep found the falsehood in
three places, and the audit then found two more. Five paragraphs now
answer "who can see it" and change together.

The tripwire stays permanently, per ruling, and grew from two
alternatives to five. Every alternative is one string that reached dist/.
Proven both ways against the pre-correction page rebuilt from bd282aa:
exit 1 with 5 matches at dist/legal/privacy/index.html:54,67,67,68,72;
exit 0 on the corrected page, self-test 12 patterns / 36 approved
strings.

/med-arb/ — the gloss is struck with no replacement, per ruling. The
strike left "the section above" pointing at the ADRIC rule set and "the
agreement" with no antecedent; both fixed. The bare designations line
sitting under ADRIC's quoted competence requirement is also struck, which
goes beyond the ruling and is flagged for Pouya.

R18 — re-stamped, two-tier: (a)(c)(d) re-verified against a source,
(b)(e)(f)(g) held on a cadence judgement. All seven hold, no shipped
sentence changed. R18's trigger had NO cutover checklist item and had
stamped five extracts of seven; both fixed. Candidate limb (h) flagged.

R10 — fired and unsatisfied; left open on instruction.

The evidence behind the new privacy sentence was weaker than the
sentence. Re-measured: 33 of 33 roles simulated (23 of 26 carried inline
policies nobody had read; the two CDK lookup roles can read the table),
four trust policies, the CloudFormation escalation path for all five
users, 0 federated providers, root recorded. Every read path terminates
at the same two people.

Two review rounds, 36 findings. 35 fixed, 1 declined. Five of round 2's
were defects in round 1's own fixes; stopped at two per D19.

# ADRIC rules and codes — the published rule sets, in ADRIC's own words
**Why this file exists.** `docs/01-architecture.md` directs `/mediation/` to
name *"ADRIC Model Mediation Rules"* and `/arbitration/` to name *"ADRIC, ADR
Chambers, ad hoc"*. A rule set's **name** is a fact about a published document,
so under Q46(b)'s standard it may be published — but only from a source, not
from recall. R14: a claim whose artefact is unreachable is unverifiable by
construction. This is the same fetch-before-writing that caught
`Chartered Mediator-Arbitrator` (`docs/reference/adrio-designations.md`).
**It caught one immediately. See Finding 1.**
> ### R18 re-check — cutover pass, 2026-09-01
>
> The trigger fired. `AGENTS.md` §12 R18 holds the per-limb findings and
> the sources; this stamp does not restate them. **The quoted bytes below
> are still the original retrieval and were not re-fetched** — what was
> re-checked is whether the *facts* they support have moved.
>
> - **(f) the ADRIC National Mediation Rules, under review by ADRIC's own
> committee — NOT RE-RETRIEVED.** Held unchanged on a cadence judgement
> rather than a fresh fetch `[assumed 2026-09-01 — Pouya]`. The digests in
> the Provenance table below are the 2026-08-28 bytes and were not
> recomputed, so this stamp says nothing about whether the page changed.
## Provenance

| Retrieved | **2026-08-28** |
| Method | `curl -sSL` — redirects followed, exit status read, stderr not suppressed |
| Text extracts | `docs/reference/adric-extract/`, produced by the committed `adrio-extract/extract.mjs` (same script, unmodified) |
| URL | HTTP | bytes | text | sha256 |

⚠️ **THE HTML DIGESTS DRIFT ON EVERY REQUEST. THE TEXT EXTRACTS DO NOT.**
Unlike the ADRIO fetch, where the digests were stable and are therefore stamped
as the artefact, these pages change per response. **Measured, not assumed** — the
mediation-rules page was fetched twice, three minutes apart:
```
first : c55fe482da8aa7a69377703b9192bda0d926f012e45a90ca5ce5d27a7b0344ac
second: e9f74014ec04e8fcab0f1cbbd75ef4cb104c8d94992b93c832d41c8259ce78b2
text identical? YES
```
Four causes, read out of the diff rather than guessed at:
1. a per-render page-builder class suffix (`highend_6a91df2f53035`
`highend_6a91dfca9a8be`);
2. a **rotating corporate-member logo carousel** in the footer — nine sponsor
logos, reordered per request;
3. **Cloudflare email obfuscation**, which re-keys the `email-protection#…`
hash per response;
4. a **Cloudflare challenge-platform token** (`__CF$cv$params` `r` and `t`).
*(This paragraph first asserted "a WordPress nonce and rotating asset query
strings" — a guess, written before the second fetch. None of the four causes is
that. Corrected before commit, and recorded because a guessed cause for an
observed difference is exactly what `CLAUDE.md` bars.)*
**So the stable artefact is `docs/reference/adric-extract/`**, and the term
counts below were run against those extracts. A digest mismatch on re-fetch is
**not** evidence the content changed — re-extract and compare the text.
Also on the record: `https://adric.ca/rules/` returns **403**, and
`/mediation-rules/` and `/arbitration-rules/` return **404**. The working paths
are all under `/rules-codes/`. Recorded because a 403 body is 52 bytes and reads
like an empty page.

## Finding 1 — "ADRIC Model Mediation Rules" is NOT the name of anything
`docs/01-architecture.md` §`/mediation/` item 3 directed the page to name the
**"ADRIC Model Mediation Rules"**. The string does not exist in ADRIC's
materials.
| Term | rules-codes | national-mediation-rules | arbrules | adric-med-arb-rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `Model Mediation Rules` | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| `National Mediation Rules` | 2 | 10 | 2 | 2 |
| `ADRIC Mediation Rules` | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| `ADRIC Arbitration Rules` | 3 | 3 | 7 | 3 |
| `ADRIC Med-Arb Rules` | 5 | 4 | 4 | 9 |
**Where "Model" actually belongs.** ADRIC publishes a **Model Dispute Resolution
Clause** — a contract clause, inside the rules document. The spec's phrase
conflates the clause's name with the rules' name.
**The canonical title, from the page's own heading:** *"The ADRIC National
Mediation Rules"*. The Model Clause it publishes uses the same form —
*"shall be mediated pursuant to the **National Mediation Rules** of the ADR
Institute of Canada, Inc."*
**One inconsistency in ADRIC's own materials, recorded so it is not read later
as our error.** The `/rules-codes/` index has a card labelled *"ADRIC Mediation
Rules"* (1 occurrence, card link text) while its nav and the document itself say
*"National Mediation Rules"*. **Use `ADRIC National Mediation Rules`** — the
document's own title, and the form inside the model clause.
## Finding 2 — the three rule sets, with the facts a page may state
**ADRIC National Mediation Rules.** *"The National Mediation Rules provide rules
for initiating mediations, including the appointment of a mediator should the
parties be unable to come to an agreement."* The document contains: Mediation
Rules including a Code of Conduct; a Standard Form Agreement to Mediate
(Schedule B); ADRIC administration fees (Schedule A); and the Model Dispute
Resolution Clause.
⚠️ **Currency caveat, verbatim:** *"As of 2025, the ADRIC Mediation Committee is
currently reviewing the Mediation Rules… In the meantime, the existing rules
remain in effect and should continue to be used until any updates are formally
adopted."* So do not date them, and do not describe them as recently revised.
**ADRIC Arbitration Rules.** *"ADRIC has adopted new Arbitration Rules and a new
Arbitrator Appointment Protocol, effective March 1, 2025."* Published as
**"ADRIC Arbitration Rules Effective 2025"**, alongside an **ADRIC Arbitrator
Appointment Protocol** and named forms: Notice to Arbitrate, Request to
Administer the Arbitration, Request for the appointment of an arbitrator,
Application for Urgent Interim Measures, Application to Challenge an Arbitrator,
Notice of Appeal.
**ADRIC Med-Arb Rules.** Developed by a **Task Force** — *"a Task Force was
formed with a dedicated working group of med-arb professionals. The Task Force
completed an initial draft of the Rules, which were then referred to the Rules
Committee"* — and a discussion draft was presented to the membership at
ADRIC's Annual Conference in **November 2019**. Two sentences are directly
useful to `/med-arb/`, both verbatim:
> "Med-Arb is not merely the merging of separate mediation and arbitration
> processes, but a unique process designed to meet the needs of particular
> disputants. It involves nuances and complexities that can be fine-tuned to the
> needs of the parties as a customized dispute resolution process, **which
> requires a high level of practitioner competence to do successfully**."
> "The Rules are designed to work in tandem with ADRIC's existing Mediation
> Rules and Arbitration Rules, integrating seamlessly."
**Scope, verbatim:** *"Although the Med-Arb Rules were drafted to assist in
resolving domestic **commercial** disputes, parties may want to apply them to
international or non-commercial disputes."* That matches §4's commercial scoping
without being cited for it — it is ADRIC's statement about its own rules, not
authority for what this practice offers.
ADRIC also publishes a **Med-Arb Foundational Course** (in English) and, per this
page, *"criteria for a specialized designation: the Chartered Med-Arb"*.
## Finding 3 — "Chartered Med-Arbitrator" is corroborated by a second body
`Chartered Med-Arbitrator` appears **2 times on every one of the four pages**
it is ADRIC's own navigation label, under *Designations & CEE → Professional
Designations*. So the long form §11 now carries, sourced from **ADRIO**, is
independently the form **ADRIC** uses in its nav. The body prose on the Med-Arb
Rules page uses the short *"Chartered Med-Arb"*
**once***"criteria for a specialized designation: the Chartered Med-Arb"*.
⚠️ *This read "3 occurrences" for one pass. `grep -o -F 'Chartered Med-Arb'`
does return 3, but **two of the three are substrings of the nav label
"Chartered Med-Arbitrator"** counted separately one sentence above. `grep -o
'Chartered Med-Arb(?!itrator)'` returns 1. That is `CLAUDE.md`'s "a grep that
matches is not a finding until you read what it matched", committed inside the
document whose whole purpose is sourced counts. Found by
`adversarial-reviewer`.* **Neither body writes "Mediator-Arbitrator" anywhere in this
fetch.**
## Finding 4 — what is NOT in this fetch, and must not be inferred from it
- **The rules' actual provisions.** Every page above is a *landing page*; the
rules themselves are PDFs behind download links and were **not** fetched. So
this file supports naming a rule set and describing what a document contains
at the level its own landing page describes it. It supports **no statement of
what any rule requires, permits or provides** — including anything about
consent mechanics, caucus information, or the switch from mediation to
arbitration in med-arb. Write those as this practice's own protocol, or not at
all.
- **Anything about ADR Chambers.** It is not sourced here, and as of 2026-08-30
it is named on no page: Pouya struck it from `/arbitration/` and from
`docs/01` item 3. `docs/07-fees.md` cites it only for *published fee ranges*,
which is a different claim and is internal.
- **Legal effect.** Nothing here establishes the enforceability of an award, in
Ontario or anywhere. §4 bars this repository from concluding a proposition of
law.
## Finding 5 — ADRIC superlatives deliberately NOT lifted
Same treatment as `adrio-designations.md` Finding 5. These are ADRIC's marketing
claims about itself and **must not travel onto this site**, where §4 Forbidden
bars superlatives:
- *"The ADRIC Arbitration Rules have been **the leading choice** for Canadian
businesses since 2002."*
- *"integrating **seamlessly**"* — quoted above inside a quotation, and it stays
inside one.
