+- Fail closed when GitHub dependency-review evidence is unavailable (non-200, transport failure, truncated compare, or curl's `000` no-status sentinel) instead of treating HTTP 403/404 as a clean skip; the probe records allowlisted repository visibility with the exact head SHA and never prints the API body or raw visibility strings.

 - Reject `.github/` and `scripts/ci/` from review-thread-derived autofix path authority so an untrusted inline reviewer cannot authorize the write-capable repair agent to modify workflows, CODEOWNERS, actions, scheduler code, or CI helpers that govern its own control plane.
 - Require the model-write snapshot and exact-path allowlist to remain outside the pull-request worktree, checking both absolute and resolved locations so repository-local controls and outside-looking symlinks resolving into the repository fail closed before they can authorize or verify model changes.
 - Snapshot the complete pre-model worktree for ordinary and conflict repair and reject every model-caused created, deleted, modified, mode-changed, retargeted, ignored, dangling, directory-backed, external-link, metadata-race, or out-of-scope path before staging or push.

+# Dependency review fail-closed operations
+
+Status: `active_pr` until the matching workflow and regression contract are present on protected `main`; thereafter `implemented_on_protected_main`.
+
+## Decision
+
+Dependency review is a hard supply-chain gate. The central workflow accepts only HTTP `200` from GitHub's exact `BASE_SHA...HEAD_SHA` comparison before invoking the immutably pinned dependency-review action. A `403`, `404`, empty or malformed status, curl `000` sentinel, timeout, transport failure, truncated exchange, or other unexpected outcome is unavailable evidence and fails closed.
+
+The support probe has a 10-second connection limit and 30-second total limit. It preserves curl's transport exit code separately from the bounded HTTP status and requires transport exit `0` plus exact HTTP `200`. It discards the response body and logs only repository identity, allowlisted visibility (`public`, `private`, `internal`, or `unknown`), exact base/head revisions, the normalized HTTP status, and the numeric transport exit. Credentials, response bodies, and raw untrusted visibility strings are never diagnostic output. After a successful probe the pinned action is not independently skippable.
+
+RFC 9110 §15.3.1 defines `200` as a completed successful representation, not as a status that can be inferred after a truncated transfer (Fielding et al., 2022). curl's `%{http_code}` write-out is the numeric status from the last retrieved transfer; when no HTTP status was received it emits `000` (Stenberg, n.d.). That sentinel is unavailable evidence, not an HTTP status. NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 RA-5 and SA-12 require that vulnerability and supply-chain evidence be obtained, not assumed absent (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2020). SLSA v1.0 likewise treats missing provenance as unverified rather than passing (SLSA, 2023). An HTTP `403` or `404` is therefore unavailable evidence, not a clean skip. GitHub documents `403` as the private-repository response when GitHub Advanced Security is not enabled, or when the comparison targets a fork (GitHub, n.d.). Record the allowlisted visibility and exact revisions, then verify dependency-graph or Advanced Security configuration. Do not infer `not-applicable` from `403`.
+
+## Identity and authority
+
+The dependency-review job checks out the pull request's explicit head repository and immutable head SHA with persisted credentials disabled. The API comparison independently binds the event's exact base and head revisions. The job retains `contents: read` and `pull-requests: read`; it receives no write, OIDC, model, release, package, or deployment authority.
+
+Checks, status contexts, review submissions, and merge authorization remain separate evidence classes. OSV, Trivy, CodeQL, Semgrep, Secret Scan, Scorecard, and Dependabot are complementary controls and are not semantic substitutes for dependency review.
+
+## Failure classification and remediation
+
+- Transport exit `0` plus HTTP `200`: proceed to the pinned dependency-review action.
+- Any other result: fail the job and retain exact repository, allowlisted visibility, base/head, status, and transport-exit evidence. An HTTP `200` emitted by a failed or partial transfer is unavailable evidence. curl `000` is recorded as `unavailable`. Do not infer a root cause from HTTP `403` or `404`.
+- Public repository failure: verify dependency graph and security configuration, organization policy, token read access, and GitHub service health.
+- HTTP `403` on a private or internal repository: verify whether GitHub Advanced Security / dependency review is entitled for that repository. Keep the job failed until a separately reviewed organization exception with compensating controls exists. Never infer `not-applicable` from an unavailable response.
+
+Retries are operator-initiated only after the capability or service condition changes. Do not rerun unchanged evidence repeatedly and do not convert an unavailable endpoint into a green skip.
+
+## Known canary
+
+ContextualWisdomLab/EgressWeave#66, Security Scan run `31108241013`, job `92638903658`, compared `10d0c51daf2ad278d66f43be479df8cf6b08ba6d...c038a9509d1a8eae8561cc9081e67e12bd373d42` and received HTTP `403`. The required workflow printed the skip warning, omitted `actions/dependency-review-action`, and still concluded success. Downstream tracking: ContextualWisdomLab/EgressWeave#76. Keep ContextualWisdomLab/.github#810 open until a protected-main public consumer run proves a non-200 or failed-transfer comparison cannot green this job.
+
+## Acceptance and rollback
+
+Acceptance requires the permanent queue contract to reject the former `supported=false` path, require bounded probing and discarded bodies, require exact-head checkout, and prove that only `200` reaches the action. Exact-head CI/security evidence, current review, protected integration, and a real protected-main consumer run remain required.
+
+Rollback requires an independently reviewed revert and fresh exact-head evidence. A rollback must not restore the `403`/`404` success path or print an API response body.
