answer

Direct answer

Inference Boundary — Failure Mode is implemented as a source-bounded failure mode guide.

method

Answer contract

Apply the failure mode lens only to the exact inspected source scope; do not infer authority from adjacent topics.

evidence

Evidence and exact locators

t22-preflight-inference — lib/evidence-preflight.ts — compileEvidencePreflight. Supports: Flags bounded lexical signals for unsupported causal, universal, certainty, and safety inference.

limitations

What the evidence does not establish

A lexical signal is a review prompt, not a semantic verdict.

What is established?

Inference Boundary — Failure Mode is implemented as a source-bounded failure mode guide.

What exact source or implementation establishes it?

t22-preflight-inference, lib/evidence-preflight.ts — compileEvidencePreflight

What dependency remains separate?

A lexical signal is a review prompt, not a semantic verdict.

What uncertainty remains?

What must not be inferred?

A source, locator, rights, scope, boundary, dependency, implementation, or release change requires a new exact-revision review.
