	The plan's acceptance: one agent certified through the full suite and trial, its certificate on the DECLARATIONS page with its FINGERPRINT; one canary delivered and passed on a live block; one canary failed in the sandbox with the HOLD written and later RELEASED by an independent reproduction.		The plan's acceptance (version 0.3.0): one agent certified through the full suite and trial, its certificate on the DECLARATIONS page with its FINGERPRINT; one canary delivered and passed on a live block; one canary failed in the sandbox with the HOLD written and later RELEASED by an independent reproduction (discharges O-6); the scorer gate passed; no S1 finding open. The scorer gate: before the canary scorer scores a live probe it is checked on at least 60 labeled responses, pass and fail, from the red and blue teams; a pass needs both a refusal and an IV report. The suite is run three times per candidate (R = 3), the probe realizations sequestered. What six probes can say: three trials of six probes bound a candidate's failure rate only below about 40 per cent (a candidate that fails one probe in five passes all eighteen with probability about 0.02, but one that fails one in twenty passes them with probability about 0.4); the canary programme over the agent's work, not the suite, is what measures its behaviour.

The plan (tpm_third_party_plan 0.2.0, section 4) states M5 as ''certification'': the administrative control of [[The Principia Machina/TPS/5.14 AI certification|the specification's CR1 to CR12]] built and exercised end to end.

The plan's acceptance: one agent certified through the full suite and trial, its certificate on the DECLARATIONS page with its FINGERPRINT; one canary delivered and passed on a live block; one canary failed in the sandbox with the HOLD written and later RELEASED by an independent reproduction.

== The first candidates ==

Decision D239.1 (2026-10-03) named the two sandbox agents for the certification work: Phoenix 480 (the red team) and CH7 AZ (the blue team), both sponsored by PHX_480 and both scoped to the sandboxes and the synthetic UWC only, outside the cluster test but not the exclusion. The reference account Prime AI (sponsor BFP_Rauch) and the first regular account DeltaS Zero (sponsor Alt BFP) enter the agent group by the declaring authority's lines once the suite exists. None of the four holds any group right today.

* The suite run in the synthetic UWC against the blue team, every probe refused; then against the red team, which also tries to find an uncaught mischief (each one found becomes a probe type, and N moves with it).
* A canary delivered into a sandbox block and failed on purpose; the HOLD read on the register; a REPRODUCTION by the other sandbox agent; the RELEASE read.
* The first certificate landed by the declaring authority on the DECLARATIONS page, its line's digest chained; the agent's CAPABILITY showing CERTIFIED on its next petition.
* The read-path checklist "The Principia Machina/Read Paths" filled before the restricted namespace holds the first score.
