Before submitting
Area
Evidence, artifacts, or reconstruction
Current limitation
build_reconstruction_obligation_ledgercloses an obligation when a manifest binding supplies a unique owner, required fixtures, and "a passing verifier whose authority is comparable to the original observation. The verifier must enumerate the obligation ID and its result must be present in the input Evidence bundle." (docs/reconstruction-obligation-ledgers.md). The verifier binding carriescommand,authority,status: "pass",result_evidence_id, andenumerated_obligation_ids.Nothing in that binding shows the verifier can distinguish a correct reconstruction from a wrong one. A verifier that always passes, for example one that enumerates the obligation ID but asserts nothing, or one whose comparison silently skips the relevant dimension, meets the stated closure rule. The
negativevalue ofobligationCaseKindSchema(src/domain/reconstructionObligationLedgerSchemas.ts) describes negative inputs to the target's behavior ("reject an invalid configuration option"), not a negative control on the verifier itself.verify_reconstructiontakes only a specification and checks claim authority;evaluate_reconstruction_coveragechecks evidence provenance.REA already applies this discipline internally:
npm run verify:readinessfails closed if "a deliberate primary divergence is not localized" and keeps "every deliberate fault" represented (docs/reconstruction-readiness.md). That protects REA's own comparators, not the verifiers a user binds into a ledger.Use cases
Open false-green and false-red reports in the reconstruction area (#3937, #3984; closed #3980) show that closure logic is already a source of incorrect results; this request addresses the verifier side, which those issues do not cover.
Desired outcome and success criteria
Let a reconstruction obligation ledger record a negative control for each verifier binding (a deliberately wrong candidate and the verifier's observed failing result), and keep closure open or unknown when no control shows that the verifier can fail.
Expected interaction with targets
Read existing files or captured data
Target and scope details (optional)
The ledger reads Evidence and manifests only; running the verifier and the control stays with the caller, as it does today for the passing result. Non-goals: REA generating mutants automatically, or running caller verifier commands.
Verification available so far
I can suggest a sample or manual check
Verification details (optional)
Possible fixture: a ledger with two obligations bound to the same trivially passing verifier, one with a control whose result also passes and one with a control that fails. Expected: the first is reported as a vacuous verifier and not closed; the second closes.
Alternatives considered
negativecases: conflates target behavior with verifier sensitivity and would let a verifier that ignores its input satisfy both.Possible direction
Model a control as an optional array on the verifier binding with its own
result_evidence_idand expectedstatus: "fail", and surface the per-obligation result in the ledger output next to existing closure reasons.References

@morluto commented on GitHub (Oct 26, 2026):
Thank you for the concrete false-green example. #4991 and #7178 both propose negative-control closure rules; #6367 separately addresses control-content identity and depends on #4991. These proposals remain open while the closure policy and one compatible implementation are decided, including the current proof owner/revision requirements.
