+### Council Voice/Council Interface — Lifecycle Type Divergence Decisions (v0.4, REQ-031)
+
+This section documents the lifecycle type shape-divergences flagged by AUDIT.md §193 for the Council/Voice interface surface. v0.4 is a refinement-only NFR milestone (D-047): the D-001 filter REJECTS `feat:`-class enum additions and locked-const shape changes, so these divergences are DOCUMENTED here, not fixed in code. A regression-guard test (`TestSignalKindShapeIntentional` in `x/council/types/types_test.go`) locks the current shape so a future agent does not silently "fix" a divergence by changing a locked const.
+
+**Divergence P1-1 (AUDIT §193): `Proposal`/`ProposalStatus`/`VoteOption` enums absent from `x/council/types`.**
+
+- **Spec source**: P3-01-01 deliverable recommended `Proposal`, `ProposalStatus` (5 states), `VoteOption` (3 options) enums mirroring OZ Governor / `x/gov`.
+- **Implemented**: `Council`, `CouncilMember`, `Voice`, `SignalKind`, `TallyResult` — no `Proposal`/`ProposalStatus`/`VoteOption` lifecycle types.
+- **Must-have impact**: NONE. The v0.2 P3 must-haves (3 councils, Mission Lock, `TallyResult` x/gov shape, no veto) are all met without the Proposal lifecycle.
+- **Decision (v0.4, D-050)**: ADDING `Proposal`/`ProposalStatus`/`VoteOption` is a `feat:`-class addition (new enum types). REJECTED by the D-001 refinement-only filter. **Deferred to v0.5+** when the council keeper is wired to a live governance runtime (the AUDIT's own recommendation: "add in v0.3 when wiring the council keeper to a live governance runtime"). The skeleton council keeper in v0.2 does not consume a Proposal lifecycle; adding the types without the runtime would be dead code.
+- **Severity (AUDIT)**: P1 (spec drift from deliverable text, not a must-have, not blocking).
+- **v0.4 action**: DOCUMENT only (this section). No code change.
+
+**Divergence P1-2 (AUDIT §193): `SignalKind` 4 sources vs spec `VoiceSource` 5 sources.**
+
+- **Spec source**: P3-01-01 deliverable specified `VoiceSource` with 5 sources (Stash/Standing/Vouch/Freeholder/Guild).
+- **Implemented**: `SignalKind` with 4 sources: `SignalStash`, `SignalStanding`, `SignalVouch`, `SignalCapital` (`SignalKindCount = 4`, locked const).
+- **Code rationale (AUDIT §193 P1-2)**: the 4-source shape is a defensible design refinement, not a defect:
+  - `Freeholder` is an ELIGIBILITY property (upstream in `x/standing`), not a voice signal. A Freeholder-eligible Reach is a precondition for voting, not a signal that feeds a vote's weight.
+  - `Guild` is a COUNCIL TIER (one of the three councils is the Guild Council), not a voice signal. Including Guild as a signal kind would conflate the council tier with the signal source.
+  - `Capital` is committed-capital (vision §9.1, one of the four Freeholder signals), which the spec's `VoiceSource` list omitted. Adding `Capital` corrects the spec list to match vision §9.1's four-signal definition (REQ-005: "Four Freeholder signals locked").
+- **Must-have impact**: NONE. The v0.2 P3 must-haves did not enumerate `VoiceSource` coverage; the 4-signal shape matches REQ-005's "Four Freeholder signals locked" exactly.
+- **Decision (v0.4, D-050)**: changing `SignalKindCount` 4→5 (to restore the spec's 5-source `VoiceSource`) is a LOCKED-CONST CHANGE. REJECTED by the D-001 refinement-only filter (changing a locked const is a behavioral change, not a refinement). The 4-source shape is the CORRECT shape per vision §9.1 and REQ-005; the spec deliverable text was wrong, not the implementation.
+- **Severity (AUDIT)**: P1 (design-choice divergence, tested and self-consistent, not blocking).
+- **v0.4 action**: DOCUMENT the rationale here + add `TestSignalKindShapeIntentional` (regression guard) so a future agent changing `SignalKindCount` from 4 to 5 must also update the intent-assertion test, surfacing the AUDIT rationale for review. No locked-const change.
+
+**Divergence P2 (AUDIT §193): `x/bearers/types` `ValidateGenesis` no-op.**
+
+- **Spec source**: P4-02-01 said "DefaultParams/GenesisState unchanged" (bearers is an EXTENSION in v0.2, not a new module; the A-212 `ValidateGenesis` upgrade was scoped to NEW modules only).
+- **Implemented**: `ValidateGenesis` remains a no-op (`x/bearers/types/types.go:108` returns `nil` unconditionally).
+- **Decision (v0.4)**: CORRECT per spec — no action (AUDIT explicitly notes "no action"). The A-212 upgrade applies to NEW modules (v0.2's `x/window`, `x/stand`, etc.), not to EXTENDED modules like `x/bearers`. Listed here for completeness; no code change, no test change.

+// TestSignalKindShapeIntentional (REQ-031, AUDIT §193 P1-2) is a regression
+// GUARD that documents and locks the 4-source SignalKind shape. It is NOT a

+// the count. This test adds the INTENT documentation so a future agent who
+// changes SignalKindCount from 4 to 5 (e.g., to "restore" the spec's 5-source
+// VoiceSource list) must also update this test, surfacing the AUDIT rationale
+// for review.
+//
+// AUDIT §193 P1-2 rationale (why SignalKind is 4 sources, NOT the spec's 5):
+//
+//	The v0.2 P3-01-01 deliverable specified VoiceSource with 5 sources
+//	(Stash/Standing/Vouch/Freeholder/Guild). The implementation uses
+//	SignalKind with 4 sources (Stash/Standing/Vouch/Capital). The 4-source
+//	shape is a defensible design refinement:
+//	  - Freeholder is an ELIGIBILITY property (upstream in x/standing), not
+//	    a voice signal. A Freeholder-eligible Reach is a precondition for
+//	    voting, not a signal that feeds a vote's weight.
+//	  - Guild is a COUNCIL TIER (one of the three councils is the Guild
+//	    Council), not a voice signal. Including Guild as a signal kind
+//	    would conflate the council tier with the signal source.
+//	  - Capital is committed-capital (vision §9.1, one of the four
+//	    Freeholder signals per REQ-005), which the spec's VoiceSource list
+//	    omitted. Adding Capital corrects the spec to match vision §9.1's
+//	    four-signal definition (REQ-005: "Four Freeholder signals locked").
+//
+//	The 4-source shape matches REQ-005 exactly. The spec deliverable text
+//	was wrong, not the implementation. v0.4 (D-050) DOCUMENTS this and
+//	locks the 4-source shape; changing it to 5 is a locked-const change
+//	rejected by the D-001 refinement-only filter and deferred to a future
+//	milestone that re-litigates REQ-005's signal definition.
