For the genesis nightpaper's protocol material, three rulings are now canon:

1. **Gold marks signed acts only, forever;** promotions and milestones are announced by light (the ground brightening). Any passage about ceremony must respect this split.
2. **Receipt sentences are machine-generated** from a duna command's own parameters — never hand-written — so what members read and what executes cannot diverge. A strong essay beat: the bank statement, not the teller's note.
3. **The Sentinel (Track 8; the site is eight tracks now).** Interaction health runs on bipolar meters where **zero is health** — too much harmony is as unhealthy as conflict. Members never see the instrument (no acronym, no meters; the word is **vibe**), only its effects. The regulator guides toward the zero point and surrenders to humans past hard thresholds. Essay beats: the thermostat, not the scoreboard; the meeting that didn't steamroll its quietest voice; a regulator that earns autonomy last (measurement → escalation → correction).
4. **"Registered," not "trusted" or "accountable."** The decentralized Kiduna registry holds four address kinds (member FROST wallet · ally NFT · alliance Squads wallet · organization Squads wallet + WV Org ID); Kinship Codes carry them as JWT claims across the ordinary internet; anything — domain, page, content, photo, video — can register and become traceable to a member and a legal entity. The paper's honesty argument: we name only what the mechanism proves. Unregistered is "a stranger, not a threat."
