Gate Rationale

Traceability Gate Rationale

Final gate status: WARN - Customer Clarification Needed

Why This Status Was Selected

• Customer clarification is still required for product boundary, interfaces, and security ownership.

Closure Decisions

• Unsupported architecture placeholder was resolved by reclassifying it into the requirement-backed OEM/Customer Review Interface.
• Low-confidence requirements were reviewed individually and marked active, inactive, informational, assumption, manual-correction, or customer-clarification.
• Customer clarification remains intentionally visible; the gate was not forced to PASS.

Fail Conditions Checked

• OCR used while disabled: false
• Downstream direct PDF analysis: false
• Requirements without source Markdown: 0

Additional PDF Security Evidence

• Vulnerability and Incident Handling: Resolved; direct evidence IDs: REQ_SEC_0002, REQ_SEC_0030, REQ_SEC_0044, REQ_SEC_0045, REQ_SEC_0046, REQ_SEC_0032, REQ_SEC_0033, REQ_SEC_0034.
• Secure communication: Improved; direct evidence IDs: REQ_SEC_0008, REQ_SEC_0011, REQ_SEC_0012, REQ_SEC_0013, REQ_SEC_0014, REQ_SEC_0026, REQ_SEC_0027, REQ_SEC_0016.
• Inferred items remain labelled as inferred; no requirement basis was invented.
