**Affirmed position.** Admission evidence is not execution authority. PACE shows why a safe and a leaking artifact can present the same admission evidence, then evaluates effect verification against authority compiled from the authenticated request immediately before a tool call executes. That mechanism extends the requirement for a last enforceable boundary. It does not evaluate reputation systems, prove the categorical institutional rule, or establish performance across all sovereign-runtime coordination layers.
