On finding_index 2 (C-006 OBSERVATION about the relocated fail-closed guard), the Defender concedes signing-key.ts is not in the bundle but correctly notes that the finding is a request for more evidence, not a demonstrated regression: the diff introduces no new hardcoded secret (it in fact removes the preexisting dev-only fallback string from this file), and consolidating duplicated security-critical key logic into one audited location is a DRY improvement rather than a weakening. Critically, the constitution contains no named constraint mandating fail-closed production behavior; the only adjacent veto constraint (C-006) concerns hardcoded secrets, and this change adds none.

However, two points of context matter for severity. First, this is not a regression: the prior code's catch block had the identical silencing behavior for the same branch (a comment, then fall-through) -- it did not log either. Second, and more importantly, the prior code's silencing was materially worse because it fell through into `recordOutcome({ verifiedBy: \"human_attested\", ... })`, which minted a real ledger entry for an email that was never sent -- a direct violation of the AGENTS.md invariant that progress comes ONLY from verified real-world OutcomeEvents, and arguably the more serious sibling of C-008's evidence-integrity concern.

The new logic is also low-risk by construction: `entry_verdict` is a small pure function with two early-return branches and a documented precedence order (top-level `verdict` -> `oracle.verdict` -> None), and the `pipeline_error` branch added to `entry_has_pipeline_error` is a single `if` short-circuit ahead of existing, already-tested logic that is otherwise unchanged. Both functions are read-only over a dict and have no side effects, no I/O, and no interaction with the hash chain. Given the docstrings explicitly state the precedence rationale (fail-closed VETOs never produce an oracle stage, so the top-level field is the only source of truth for those entries), that stands as the explicit justification C-005 asks for, even though it should ideally also ship with unit tests (e.g., asserting `entry_verdict` prefers top-level over oracle, and falls back correctly for legacy entries missing the top-level field).

On the substance, the precedence logic is correct and it strengthens, not weakens, enforcement. The old `entry_has_pipeline_error` only checked stage-level `PIPELINE_ERROR` statuses, which means a fail-closed error VETO that short-circuits before any stage runs (e.g., a constitution-load failure) would have been invisible to CLI stats and the ledger viewer -- undercounting governance failures. The new top-level `pipeline_error` check closes that blind spot. Similarly, `entry_verdict` preferring the top-level `verdict` field over the nested oracle field is the only correct behavior for those same fail-closed entries, since they have no oracle stage at all to read a verdict from; falling back to `oracle.verdict` for legacy entries preserves backward compatibility rather than dropping it.

The new code is objectively more correct: an explicit `.sort((a,b) => b.at - a.at)` on a numeric timestamp is a well-understood, low-risk one-liner, not novel algorithmic logic that needs bespoke test scaffolding to reason about. C-005 is a warning, not a veto, and it explicitly allows 'explicit justification for why testing is deferred' as an alternative to a test. No such justification is stated here, which is the actual gap.

I evaluated it against the full constitution, not only the constraints the Challenger cited.\n\nNo veto-severity constraint is implicated. C-001 (no silent error swallowing): the diff introduces no catch blocks and removes none. C-002 (scope boundary): the change is confined to the single stated file and the single function under modification; the Defender's rebuttal to finding #1 correctly notes that other `listEvents` call sites carrying the same latent assumption are out of scope for this diff, and I agree that pulling them in would itself risk a C-002 violation. C-003 (dependency declaration): no new imports or dependencies are added; `Array.prototype.sort` is a language builtin. C-004 (type safety): the return shape is unchanged. The mapped object still yields `{ email: string, pageSlug: string, at }`, `.sort` on the mapped array preserves the element type, and the `typeof e.payload?.email === \"string\"` guard plus the `as string` assertion are carried over verbatim from the old code. Nothing is widened to `any` and no annotation is removed. C-006 (secrets): none present. C-007 (governance pipeline integrity): this is application code in a page-signup service, not challenger/defender/oracle/ledger/constitution code. C-008 (ledger immutability): `listEvents` is a read; the function filters and maps into a new array and mutates nothing in the store. Note that `.sort()` mutates in place, and the diff drops the defensive `[...events]` copy from the old code, but it sorts the array produced by `.map()`, which is a fresh array, so the store's returned array is never mutated. This is safe, and I record it as satisfied rather than violated.\n\nOn the Challenger's C-005 finding (CONCERN, warning severity): I accept the finding as accurate. This is a behavioral change to logic with no accompanying test asserting newest-first ordering, and no explicit deferral justification, which is the alternative C-005 permits. The Defender's MITIGATE position concedes the gap honestly and argues correctly that C-005 is severity `warning`, not `veto`, and therefore cannot compel a VETO on its own. I find the Defender's argument persuasive on disposition but not on substance: the fact that this exact function already harbored one latent ordering bug is precisely the argument for a regression test, as both parties in fact concluded. It becomes an advisory, not a block.\n\nOn the Challenger's second item (OBSERVATION, C-005): the Defender CONCEDEs and I agree with both.

The change only extends that pre-existing, presumably-already-tested propagation behavior to the search-with-notes path; it doesn't invent a new error-handling primitive. (2) This change is actually a net improvement in constitutional compliance, not a regression: the OLD code wrapped `searchNotes()` AND `forcedToolObject()` in the same try/catch, so a bug in the grounded structuring call (e.g. a schema-validation throw unrelated to search) was mislabeled via `console.warn('anthropic web search failed...')` and silently downgraded to an ungrounded completion \u2014 a real C-001-adjacent silent-failure pattern the new code explicitly closes, as documented in the new comment.

The remaining catch block contains a `console.warn(\"anthropic web search failed; continuing without live search\", err)` that logs both a message and the error object, which meets the rule's requirement that catch blocks log, re-throw, or return a typed error. It is neither empty nor comment-only. The Defender's rebuttal point (2) is well-evidenced by the old_string: the prior code wrapped both `searchNotes()` and `forcedToolObject()` in one catch and mislabeled any structuring-pass failure as a search failure before silently downgrading to an ungrounded completion. Narrowing the catch reduces mislabeled/swallowed failures.

The code is honest about this limitation ('best-effort'), which is meaningfully better than silently claiming the race is fully closed, but honesty about a gap isn't the same as closing it. Given this project's own memory notes flag exactly this class of issue elsewhere (in-memory test store not enforcing DB-level uniqueness, races needing verification against Postgres), a real fix likely needs a DB-level unique constraint or advisory lock on (companyId, active-build), with this in-app check as a UX-layer fast path only.

I evaluated it against the full bench-v1 constitution, not just the constraints the Challenger cited.\n\nNo veto-severity constraint is violated:\n- C-001: the added code contains no try/catch at all, so there is no silent error swallowing. Note the awaited calls (getLatestMvpBuild, updateMvpBuild) are unguarded and will propagate, which is the visible-failure behavior C-001 wants, not the opposite.\n- C-002: the diff touches exactly one function in the one stated file. No collateral edits.\n- C-003: the Challenger raised this only as an OBSERVATION about the bare `inFlight()` reference, and explicitly hedged ('worth confirming... so C-003 is not implicated in practice'). The Defender's rebuttal is persuasive: C-003 targets undeclared external imports/packages, and neither old_string nor new_string introduces a single import statement or manifest change. `inFlight` is used bare with no module prefix, consistent with an existing same-module helper. I accept the Defender's REBUT on this point. Had the diff added an import, this would read differently.\n- C-004: no type annotations are removed or weakened. The function previously returned the result of store.addMvpBuild directly; it now returns either that same value (`build`) or `latestNow`, which is the return type of store.getLatestMvpBuild for the same entity. No `any`, no dropped return annotation.\n- C-006: no credentials, keys, or tokens introduced.\n- C-007: build.ts is application code, not part of the governance pipeline (challenger/defender/oracle/ledger/constitution). Not applicable.\n- C-008: the `store.updateMvpBuild(build.id, { buildState: \"blocked\" })` call mutates a build record, not a ledger entry.

I agree with the Defender that finding 2 is substantively the same gap as finding 0, reframed around the TOCTOU shape, and should not be double-counted. The gap is real: a new conditional branch with a state mutation and an early-return path ships without a test exercising concurrent kickoffs. But C-005 carries severity 'warning', not 'veto'. Per the VETO rules I am bound to veto only on clearly violated veto-severity constraints. C-005 is therefore recorded as an advisory, not a block.\n\nOn the substance of finding 2, the Defender concedes correctly that the read-then-write pair has no transaction or lock, so this narrows the race rather than closing it. That is an engineering limitation, not a constitutional violation. The inline comment labels the mechanism 'best-effort' and states the intended invariant, which is honest about scope.

No package.json or lockfile mutation appears in the diff, so there is no silent dependency addition.\n- C-006: no keys, tokens, passwords, or credentials appear.

SATISFIED.\n\nC-002 (Scope Boundary): The Challenger raised this only as an OBSERVATION and expressly concluded 'No evidence of scope creep.'

SATISFIED.\n\nC-003 (Dependency Declaration): The Challenger flagged this as an OBSERVATION requesting confirmation, not as evidence of a violation, and stated the import block is outside the shown hunk. The Defender's rebuttal is persuasive on the constraint's text: C-003 governs 'requirements.txt, package.json, or equivalent', i.e. the external supply-chain surface.

The referenced symbols (getStore, requireCompany, revalidatePath, draftLandingCopy, deploySmokeTestPage, getLlmForCompany) are intra-codebase composition consistent with established file conventions.

C-001 (No Silent Error Swallowing): the Challenger's own finding at index 1 concludes 'Not a violation,' and the Defender's rebuttal correctly notes the catch body is untouched and still calls `console.warn(\"founder notification failed\", err)`. C-001 explicitly permits logging as a satisfying disposition ('must log, re-throw, or return a typed error'). The Challenger's concern about the failure being less visible now that it is on the critical path is a latency argument, not an error-swallowing argument; the error is still logged. SATISFIED.\n\nC-008 (Ledger Immutability): the Challenger (finding index 2) and the Defender agree the diff does not touch entry creation, mutation, or the hash/append path. Both old_string and new_string terminate in the identical `return { event, momentum, win };`. The notify call is characterized in-code as read-only and 'never writes back into the ledger.' No append-only or hash-chain semantics are altered. SATISFIED.\n\nC-007 (Governance Pipeline Integrity): I raise this on my own initiative since neither party addressed it and `outcome-ledger.ts` is the project's declared sole chokepoint for verified progress. The test is whether the change 'weakens enforcement, bypasses verification, or disables logging.' It does none of these.

Both parties agree the diff ships no test proving that a rejected or, more importantly, a never-settling `notifyFounderOfOutcome` does not stall `recordOutcome()`. The Defender's concession is substantively correct: `.catch()` guards rejection, not non-settlement, so this trades 'notification killed by serverless suspension' for 'recordOutcome may hang on a stalled network call' unless `notifyFounderOfOutcome` carries its own timeout, which the provided diff does not evidence. However, C-005 is declared at severity 'warning,' not 'veto.' Under the VETO rules I may only veto on a clearly violated veto-severity constraint. A warning-severity constraint cannot carry a veto no matter how well argued. This is therefore recorded as an advisory, not a block.\n\nVerdict: PASS, with advisories.

The Defender's position is MITIGATE, not denial, and concedes the gap. Critically, C-005 carries severity \"warning\", not \"veto\". Under the stated VETO rules I must veto only where a veto-severity constraint is clearly violated. C-005 cannot trigger a veto by construction. The Defender's argument that the guard mirrors the existing pattern already present in the same file, and that `generateMetadata` is a framework-managed export usually verified via integration/e2e, is a reasonable rationale but is offered post hoc rather than as an in-diff justification; I therefore record C-005 as a live warning-level advisory rather than SATISFIED.\n\nC-002 (Scope Boundary Enforcement): the Challenger raised this only as an OBSERVATION and expressly stated \"nothing here suggests scope creep\"; the Defender confirmed the diff touches exactly one file.

The `if (!page || page.status !== \"live\")` early return is an explicit, typed fallback value, not a swallowed error; it mirrors the `notFound()` guard already governing this route. NOT_APPLICABLE.\n- C-006 (No Hardcoded Secrets): no credentials, keys, or tokens appear. All values are read from the store record.

SATISFIED on the visible code; carried forward as an advisory only.\n- C-005 (Test Coverage for New Logic): the Challenger identified three new branches (no company, no founder, blank/whitespace-only name) and the Defender CONCEDED that neither a test nor an explicit deferral justification accompanies the diff. I accept the concession: the constraint's bar is not met. However, C-005 carries severity 'warning', not 'veto'.

The Defender's MITIGATE position is well-supported: the default value `= null` makes the signature backward-compatible, so existing callers and tests continue to pass unchanged, and the diff itself introduces no new branch. C-005 requires tests for new functions or branches of logic; the diff as presented adds neither.

C-007 (governance pipeline integrity) is not implicated, as `sourcing.ts` is application code and not part of the challenger/defender/oracle/ledger/constitution surface.

The Defender's MITIGATE position concedes this but argues the practical risk is minimal: the branch is a pure, side-effect-free ternary selecting between two deterministic literal strings. I accept the Defender's characterization of the risk profile. Critically, C-005 carries severity \"warning\", not \"veto\", so even a clear violation here could not compel a VETO under the stated VETO rules (\"You MUST veto if any constraint with severity 'veto' is clearly violated\"). Additionally, the diff itself contains an explicit justification comment (\"The founder's real name, or nothing: never a fake persona signature.\") documenting the intent of the branch, which partially addresses C-005's alternative satisfaction path (\"or an explicit justification\").

The diff introduces a materially new branch (`open.length > 0` -> `onlyCallsOpen` -> `activeToday`) that changes prior behavior from 'any non-done move blocks regeneration' to 'a stalled HUMAN_ONLY_COACHED move can be rescued with a fresh outreach batch', and the submitted diff contains no accompanying test changes or deferral justification.

The Challenger itself states the observation 'cannot be positively confirmed either way' and that the diff 'is consistent with a narrow task.' C-002 prohibits modifying files outside a stated task boundary; the operative evidence here is that the diff touches exactly one function in exactly one file, with no cross-module edits, no new files, and no changes to unrelated subsystems.

No `any` introduced; `open.every((m) => m.executionClass === \"HUMAN_ONLY_COACHED\")` relies on an existing discriminant on the `Move` type. Types are preserved, not weakened.\n- C-006: no literals resembling keys, tokens, or credentials. The only literals are the numeric batch size `3` and a domain enum string.\n- C-007: `journey.ts` is application logic, not part of the governance pipeline (challenger/defender/oracle/ledger/constitution). Not applicable.\n- C-008: no ledger reads are mutated; `store.listEvents(companyId)` is a read used only to build an in-memory `Map` for timestamp lookup. Nothing is modified, deleted, or overwritten, and no hash chain is touched. The change appends moves to a returned array, which is not a ledger entry.\n\nVerdict: PASS with advisories.

There is no cross-file boundary violation here, so C-002 as literally written does not fire. That said, the Challenger's deeper point, drawn from this project's own AGENTS.md inviolable rule that progress must come only from verified OutcomeEvents via recordOutcome(), not from AI-driven actions, is the real issue worth the Oracle's attention, even though it sits outside the formal constitution provided. The function name `advanceWhileReady` and the accompanying comment ('let the stage catch up') suggest this is meant to be an idempotent re-check of already-satisfied, ledger-backed gate conditions, catching the recorded stage up to reality, rather than a mechanism that itself synthesizes progress from the AI-generated smoke-test copy or the deploy action alone. If `advanceWhileReady` internally calls `recordOutcome()` or otherwise reads the outcome ledger to decide whether gates are met, this change is compliant with the project's inviolable rule and is arguably correct: a founder who ships via this path did perform a real-world action (deploying a live page) and the stage number should not lag behind reality. However, this cannot be fully confirmed without seeing `advanceWhileReady`'s implementation, and I concur the Oracle should require that verification before clearing this change: specifically, that `advanceWhileReady` gates on `OutcomeEvent`s already recorded in the ledger and does not itself mint progress from the act of deploying AI-authored copy.", + "evidence": "Comment in diff: '// let the stage catch up' implies re-synchronization of stage to already-existing gate state, not new progress creation; but the function body is not shown in this diff, so the ledger-only-progress guarantee (AGENTS.md) cannot be independently verified here." + } + ], + "summary": "The change is a small, same-file addition whose C-002 (scope) and C-003 (dependency) findings are largely stretched or unconfirmed, but the C-005 testing gap is real and, more importantly, the Oracle should require confirmation that advanceWhileReady only advances stage based on already-recorded, ledger-backed OutcomeEvents rather than treating the deploy action itself as progress.", + "_tokens": { + "input": 6927, + "output": 3210 + } + }, + "oracle": { + "verdict": "PASS", + "reasoning": "The change is a two-line addition (one call plus an explanatory comment) inside an existing function in a single file, src/app/actions.ts.

A new behavioral path (deploy-triggers-stage-advancement) is introduced with no test in the diff and no stated deferral rationale. However, C-005 carries severity 'warning', not 'veto'. Per the VETO rules, only clearly violated 'veto'-severity constraints compel a veto. This is recorded as an advisory.\n\nC-003 (Dependency Declaration): The Defender's REBUT is persuasive and grounded in the constraint's own text, which names 'requirements.txt, package.json, or equivalent' and whose rationale is supply-chain and reproducibility risk. Calling an existing intra-codebase helper is not a dependency addition. The Challenger itself hedged ('this may simply be because the diff is a partial hunk'), i.e. it presented no evidence of a missing import. An unproven suspicion is not a violation. If the symbol were genuinely unimported, the failure mode is a compile/typecheck error caught by the project's own pre-ship gate, not a governance breach. NOT_APPLICABLE.\n\nC-002 (Scope Boundary Enforcement): The Defender's MITIGATE correctly identifies that C-002 as written concerns modifying files outside the stated task boundary (its own example: 'changes to oracle.py are a violation'). This diff touches exactly one file, the same file that already hosts the smoke-test deploy action, and the change is topically adjacent to that action. No cross-file boundary is crossed. The Challenger's substantive concern is not really C-002 at all; it is the project's AGENTS.md 'inviolable rule' that progress and stage gates flow only from verified OutcomeEvents. Both the Challenger and Defender ask me to require verification of advanceWhileReady's internals.\n\nI decline to convert that into a veto, for two traceable reasons. First, AGENTS.md is not part of the declared constitution I am charged with enforcing (bench-v1). I enforce declared law, not project conventions that were not submitted as constraints, and no bench-v1 constraint encodes the OutcomeEvent rule. Second, even on the merits, neither party produced evidence of a violation: the Challenger states plainly it lacks 'visibility into advanceWhileReady's implementation', and the Defender concurs the body 'is not shown in this diff'. Both arguments rest on absence of evidence. The available textual evidence, the function name 'advanceWhileReady' and the comment 'let the stage catch up', points toward an idempotent re-check of already-satisfied gate conditions rather than progress minted from AI output. A veto grounded in an unread function body would itself be an unsupported assertion and therefore a governance failure.\n\nNo remaining veto-severity constraint is implicated: there are no catch blocks (C-001), no type annotations removed or weakened (C-004), no credentials introduced (C-006), no touch to the governance pipeline (C-007), and no ledger mutation, deletion, or hash-chain modification in this diff (C-008).\n\nA PASS here certifies only that the change does not violate bench-v1 as declared.

C-002 prohibits modifying files outside the stated boundary; no such modification is present in the diff under review. A hypothetical companion file that is not in the diff cannot be a scope violation of this diff. Disposition: SATISFIED.\n\nOn C-005 (Test Coverage for New Logic): the Challenger correctly assigns this OBSERVATION severity, and C-005 is warning-severity, so it cannot trigger a veto. The Defender's rebuttal (finding_index 2) is persuasive on the merits: C-005 targets 'new functions or branches of logic,' and this change introduces no control flow, no new function, and no new branch. It is prompt text. Both Challenger and Defender agree the risk surface is LLM output quality, which is an eval concern. Both also agree no test or justification accompanies the change. That agreement is recorded as an advisory, not a violation. Disposition: SATISFIED (constraint not triggered by prompt-text-only change; advisory issued).\n\nConstraints not cited by the Challenger, evaluated independently:\n- C-001: no catch blocks touched. NOT_APPLICABLE.\n- C-004: no type annotations added, removed, or weakened; the change is to a string value. NOT_APPLICABLE.\n- C-006: I inspected the new string for credentials. It contains only coaching instructions. HUZZAH_VOICE is a bare identifier reference, not an inline literal secret. SATISFIED.\n- C-007: coach.ts is a product service, not a governance pipeline component (challenger, defender, oracle, ledger, constitution). No enforcement, verification, or logging is weakened. NOT_APPLICABLE.\n- C-008: no ledger code touched. NOT_APPLICABLE.\n\nThe change is a prompt-quality revision within a single file with a coherent stated rationale in the code comment. It does not violate the declared constitution.

The Challenger's evidence is the appearance of `HUZZAH_VOICE` with no visible import or declaration in the hunk. The Defender rebuts on two grounds: (a) C-003's stated rationale is scoped to supply-chain and reproducibility risk from external/third-party additions, and `HUZZAH_VOICE` is by naming and usage an internal project copy/voice constant, not a package; (b) the diff format shown is a delta-only replacement, so the absence of an import line in the hunk is not evidence that no import exists. I find the Defender's second point dispositive on the evidentiary question: the Challenger's finding is an inference from an incomplete view, not affirmative evidence of an undeclared dependency. The Challenger themselves graded it CONCERN rather than VIOLATION. On the first point, I partially agree: an internal same-repo constant is not a supply-chain vector, and if the symbol is genuinely unresolved the failure surfaces at typecheck/build (a verification gate, per AGENTS.md pre-ship rules), not as a silent governance bypass. Absent affirmative evidence of an undeclared or external dependency, C-003 does not support a veto.\n\nC-002 (Scope Boundary) was raised only as an OBSERVATION and the Challenger expressly declined to assert a violation (\"Not enough context to confirm... flagged for verification only\"). The Defender notes only one file_path is present in the change payload. A speculative concern about an unseen second file is not evidence of scope creep. NOT_APPLICABLE on the record before me.\n\nC-005 (Test Coverage, severity: warning) is conceded by both sides as inapplicable: this is a prompt string edit, not new logic or a new branch. Even were it applicable, C-005 is a warning and cannot ground a veto.\n\nOn my own review of the remaining constraints: C-001 (no catch blocks touched), C-004 (no type annotations touched; the change is a string concatenation), C-006 (no credentials introduced; the added text is persona framing plus a symbol reference), C-007 (recon.ts is not part of the governance pipeline; nothing here weakens challenger/defender/oracle/ledger/constitution enforcement), and C-008 (no ledger code touched) are all unimplicated.\n\nOne substantive safety point that cuts in favor of PASS and that I verified independently of both parties: the safety-critical instruction \"Never fabricate a quote, a URL, or a statistic.\" appears byte-identical in both old_string and new_string, as does the \"return only real, recently found quotes with their real source URLs\" directive.

But two things temper how serious that risk is under C-007 specifically. First, C-007's rule text scopes to 'changes to the governance pipeline itself (challenger, defender, oracle, ledger, constitution)' - README.md is none of those; it's documentation, not enforcement code. Editing a comment describing a wall doesn't remove the wall or weaken it, whereas editing pre-tool-use.py to swallow an exception silently would. The Challenger's own framing ('this should be verified against the real implementation before/alongside merging, or explicitly justified as documentation-only groundwork') concedes it's uncertain whether this is a violation at all versus a legitimate staged rollout, and correctly marks it CONCERN rather than a definite violation. Second, and more importantly for the Oracle's practical judgment: a README claim of fail-closed behavior that the code doesn't yet back up is the *safer* direction for a mismatch to exist in. If code still fail-opens while the doc claims fail-closed, the operational risk is that a user reads stale-in-spirit docs and is falsely reassured about strictness - a real but bounded documentation-accuracy problem. It is not the inverse and far more dangerous failure mode (doc claims fail-open safety-net, code silently fail-closes and blocks all work, or doc claims fail-closed rigor while code has been secretly weakened to fail-open). Given that, I'd frame this as a legitimate process finding - ship this only alongside or immediately followed by the corresponding pre-tool-use.py/runner.py/chain.py changes, and don't let the README get more than one commit ahead of the enforcement code - rather than a violation that should itself veto a docs-only patch.", + "evidence": "Diff shows exactly one file_path ('README.md') and change_type 'modify'; no hooks/, pipeline/, or ledger/ files appear in the change set.

The Defender's MITIGATE rebuttal is persuasive on the dispositive point: C-007's rule text scopes to 'changes to the governance pipeline itself (challenger, defender, oracle, ledger, constitution).' README.md is none of these. Prose describing enforcement is not enforcement. Editing this paragraph does not weaken enforcement, bypass verification, or disable logging, which are the three enumerated harms C-007 prohibits. The Defender's second point also holds: the direction of any doc/code mismatch here is the conservative one (docs overstate strictness rather than understate it), so it does not create a bypass vector.
