Grounds
[node:ter-block](https://banes-lab.com/records/reasoning/node-ter-block.md)

How it is checked

Checked by
a structured-document validator that parses each document against the grammar and reports every defect by its shape

Population
Every agent and template document the validator walks, and every occurrence of the keyword in them

Freshness

Refusal
The validation stage fails the gate on any defect code, so a document with a malformed keyword does not ship

Observation
None, because a keyword is static text in a document, and nothing observes it while a run executes

Evidence
Watched to fire and to accept: a suite plants a retired head in a real template and validates every agent and template on disk clean

Authoritative side
The grammar data, which every keyword in a document conforms to
