…he squatted @pact-protocol install (refs #62) Ruling lineage recorded in docs/npm-scope-decision.md so it is never re-litigated: 08-05 scope decided (@pact-spec, fallback @pact_); the 08-30 tailor-app#5536 comment naming @pact-protocol was made without this dossier and is superseded (scope re-verified squatted 09-01); 09-01 publish deferred entirely - the vendored SHA-pinned bundle is the distribution mechanism of record. The conformance README's npm install advertisement pointed at the unaffiliated scope (dependency-confusion shape) and is replaced with vendor-by-SHA guidance plus a permanent warning.

Records Knox's 2026-09-01 ruling — npm publication deferred entirely; the vendored SHA-pinned bundle (tailor-app PR #5640 + its CI drift gate) is the distribution mechanism of record — and fixes a live hazard:
spec/v2.3/conformance/README.mdadvertisednpm install @pact-protocol/conformance-vectors, which 404s AND names the scope owned by an unrelated third party (re-verified 2026-09-01:@pact-protocol/sdk0.5.0, maintainerbeek3). Anyone following that instruction after the squatter publishes a matching name would install a stranger's code.docs/npm-scope-decision.md: dated status update with the full ruling lineage (08-05 scope → 08-30 superseded outlier → 09-01 deferral), so the decision is never re-litigated.spec/v2.3/conformance/README.md: vendor-by-SHA guidance (the tailor-app pattern) + permanent unaffiliated-scope warning, per the dossier's own recommendation.Docs-only; no package.json changes (the staged package publishes nothing without NPM_TOKEN, which has never existed).
