defeat-reversals-are-lifecycle-governed-across-all-backends
IN derived (depth 6)
All outlist-based defeat reversals (challenge, kill-switch, supersession) operate within metadata-enabled lifecycle governance and maintain safety across all architectural layers and storage backends — the same lifecycle state transitions and safety guarantees hold regardless of whether backed by SQLite or PostgreSQL
Summary
When the system reverses a defeat — whether by challenging it, killing it, or superseding it — that reversal is treated as a full lifecycle event with proper metadata tracking, not just a simple truth-value flip. This guarantee holds identically whether the system is running on SQLite or PostgreSQL, so no deployment choice can weaken the safety or auditability of how defeats get undone.
Justifications
SL — Lifecycle governance of defeat reversals is backend-independent — SQLite and PostgreSQL provide equivalent mechanisms
Antecedents (all must be IN):
- defeat-reversals-are-lifecycle-governed — All outlist-based defeat reversals (challenge, kill-switch, supersession) operate within metadata-enabled lifecycle governance — every reversal produces not just a truth-value change but a fully governed lifecycle transition with metadata-tracked state (retraction flags, stale reasons, access tags), ensuring reversals are first-class lifecycle events rather than bare truth flips.
- safety-is-enforced-across-all-layers-and-backends — Safety is enforced uniformly across both the architectural dimension (clean layer boundaries with atomic isolated mutations) and the storage dimension (equivalent guarantees through backend-appropriate mechanisms in SQLite and PostgreSQL) — no safety property depends on a specific backend or architectural layer.
