Stale proof cannot spend attention.
Proof route is usable only when public sources stay fresh. This sentinel refuses hiring-route leverage when the role frame, digest, route index, ledger projection, graph branch, or no-outbound gate is stale.

Refusal conditions
- role_source_freshnessTarget role frame must be current.Public role and interview sources must still support the route. Stale condition: role source cannot be reached or has drifted past the accepted age. Score 5/5
- reviewer_digest_currencyThe digest must point at the latest proof.Reviewers should see the current source-backed branch, not an older proof packet. Stale condition: digest does not include the sentinel or latest receipt. Score 5/5
- route_index_coverageThe route index must expose the sentinel.A public route that hides its refusal gate is not usable leverage. Stale condition: route index omits the staleness page or still advertises the old link count. Score 5/5
- ledger_projection_currentThe public ledger projection must include the new receipt.The graph and hash-chain projection need to agree with the source run. Stale condition: summary data lags the latest staleness-sentinel action. Score 5/5
- graph_next_branchThe next branch must become renewal, not outreach.A stale finding should route to local repair before it routes to a person. Stale condition: graph still selects the sentinel or a post-gate reply branch. Score 4/5
- no_outbound_gateThe May 26, 2026 gate must stay closed.Fresh proof is not permission to send, schedule, or address external contact. Stale condition: any page or packet treats the proof route as send authorization. Score 5/5

What this cannot do
This sentinel does not send, schedule, address, or authorize external contact. It makes stale proof unusable and routes the next local branch to renewal work.
It does not claim target-company affiliation, endorsement, employment, customer deployment, revenue, incorporation, funding, legal status, trademark ownership, or production results.
