## Repair

- Refactored by: Declare the Root, Place the Folder Inside an Existing Container
- Detected by: a folder at a governed root that is in neither the container nor the bucket declaration
- Violated by: inferring jurisdiction from folder shape rather than reading a declaration
- Measured by: undeclared root-level folder count
- Enforced by: jurisdiction gate
