A compact operating response to evaluator failure: establish jurisdiction, qualify the environment and task, preserve exit and failure, then require successor evidence before authority returns.
Governing rule
Context
The evaluator-validity finding showed that candidate performance cannot be interpreted safely when the surrounding institution has not established what it may judge, whether the environment works, or whether the task can be completed as written.
Current state
AlexOS now applies six explicit questions before broader activation. They operate as local institutional safeguards, not a certification, universal control framework, or substitute for independent review.

Next evidence
Exercise each safeguard across additional frozen tasks and environments, record where it fails or creates unnecessary friction, and revise through successor evidence.
