**Affirmed position.** Forge Protocol: A Pre-Output Governance Framework for AI Reasoning Failure Classification presents the following source proposition: Thus, they govern how systems are built, they evaluate what they produce, and they verify compliance after deployment. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A disciplined, jurisdiction-specific controls framework should be treated as a condition precedent to launching LER, not as a matter to be resolved after deployment. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
