 - Blocked or delayed merge/release/publication.
 - Forced a correction before merge.
 - Downgraded a claim to match the evidence.
-- Kept private evidence out of public/repo surfaces.
+- Kept non-public evidence out of public/repo surfaces.
 - Kept runtime, signal, production, public-safe, AI-authority, or analyst-authority claims blocked until stronger evidence and approval exist.
 - Hardened a verifier, workflow, template, or claim scanner so future drift fails or becomes review-visible.

+| GS-083 | 2026-05-27 | Private packet claim ceiling | A follow-up private packet used only prior branch triage plus clean proof/platform context, intentionally excluded website inspection, and kept the output private with forbidden-claim and local-path scans passing. | Governed operator logbook SOCaaS Friday packet closeout, no website inspection. | `PUBLIC_PROOF_CEILING_ENFORCED` / private packet boundary | public-safe promotion / runtime claim | The packet remained private discussion material only; website, GitHub, proof-record, runtime, production, customer, autonomous, AI-approved, and analyst-approved promotion stayed blocked. | In SOCaaS, this maps to separating private discussion support from public or customer-facing proof. | Public summary can say governance preserved the claim ceiling, but the packet itself remains private and not public-safe proof. |

 ## What Does Not Qualify
 
 The following do not qualify by themselves:
 
 - A policy statement with no evidence of enforcement or correction.
 - Passing CI with no blocked unsafe state.
-- Website rendering or screenshots by themselves.
+- Website rendering or visual captures by themselves.
 - Repo existence by itself.
 - AI comments by themselves unless a human or deterministic gate acted on them.
-- Private evidence that has not been reviewed and bounded.
+- Non-public evidence that has not been reviewed and bounded.
 - Any candidate whose public-safe status is ambiguous.

+- governance_action: The follow-up packet run excluded website inspection, used only prior branch triage and clean proof/platform context, and validated that forbidden achieved-claim phrases and local path strings were absent from the private artifact.
+- evidence_basis: Governed operator logbook SOCaaS Friday packet closeout, no website inspection, recorded the output as private discussion material only, with local-path scan passing and no public-safe, runtime, production, customer, autonomous, AI-approved, analyst-approved, fleet, broad Cribl route, website, GitHub, or proof-record promotion.
+- evidence_type: `GOVERNED_LOG`; `STATUS_DOC`
