Validation Gate

Kind: algorithm

Record: algorithms:validation-gate

Canonical: Algorithms

Closure: Dependencies in load order

After each critical stage, evaluate declared success criteria, block downstream progression when critical criteria fail, and carry warning-state forward when noncritical criteria fail.

Listed in Algorithm contracts, after Evidence-Gated Claim Verification and before File Modification Recovery.
