Public output shall be generated from active sources and entry-level visibility rules. A split source shall produce an explicit public projection; it shall not be published whole or excluded solely because its source also contains internal fields. Fixed-version routes shall remain immutable. Active routes may resolve only the active version.
7 Conformity and records
Conformity with Accessibility, Responsive, Print, and PDF Specification requires evidence comprising the source hash, projection result, route test, access test, and release authorization. The record for each applicable GTA-PUB-004 requirement shall permit reconstruction without relying on an unrecorded explanation.
Evidence created under GTA-PUB-004 shall use stable identifiers, immutable event sequence numbers, and machine event timestamps. A correction shall be append-only. A nonconformity shall place the affected object in a non-releasable state until its consequence and confirmed disposition are recorded. Role combination remains subject to the mandatory separation rules.
