 This organization profile routes readers across the governed VERIFRAX repository and host perimeter while preserving role separation between chambers, hosts, publication surfaces, documentation surfaces, archive/reference surfaces, package surfaces, and intake.

+Counts are typed. Public repository existence is not governed admission. Package existence is not sovereignty. Root observatory projection is not accepted state.

+## Current object-chain reading
+
+VERIFRAX has published a first active bounded constitutional object chain for artifact-0005. Public deference is limited to that admitted chain and its replay bundle. Public hosts, READMEs, packages, SDKs, and observatory projections are subordinate surfaces and may not expand the chain by implication.
+
 ## Current reading rule
 
 Read hosts, repositories, packages, and public pages by owned role, not by naming similarity.
