Yes. Stage 6 shall become a mandatory constitutional device-admission gate (event: IOT_DEVICE_ADMITTED). No IoT reading may be promoted to E2 or E3 evidence unless the device passed Stage 6 onboarding.

Smartphone photo + ordinary signature is only E1. It becomes E2 only when combined with EXIF metadata, geofence match, reconciled device timestamp, and authenticated recipient identity.

AI may run unsupervised only to create non-binding anomaly signals (ADOC). AI may not independently create binding exceptions or consequences without A2 Human Review.

Tolerance depends on event class: checkpoints (±1 min), custody/PoD (±5 mins), MRV (±15 mins), and telemetry (±30 mins). Late reconnects must verify monotonic sequences.

Carbon credit issuance requires calibrated E2 telemetry: Odometer (±1%), CAN fuel (±3%), scale load weight (±2%), and temperature sensors (±0.5°C). Expired calibrations block credit promotions.

Yes. Stage 99 must compile a FinalityTamperScanRecord verifying device certificates, firmware integrity, and unresolved TTFO blocker flags before sealing.
