**Claim.** Reputation standing should anchor to the SHA-256 of the tool artifact, paired with a publisher-level link and a controlled migration rule under which standing carries across versions only by an explicit, recorded act.

**Type.** design  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- introduction of a reputation layer into a sovereign runtime

**Source quote.**

> Hash-bound standing therefore needs a publisher-level link and a controlled migration rule, under which standing carries across versions only by an explicit, recorded act. The identity-cost precondition Part IX names is met by that pairing, not by the hash alone.
