DGV-TC-057L7: Application EnforcementGER-503: Governed Continuation Path AbsentVersion: 1.0.0
Lawful Continuation After Block
Verifies that after a gate closure (refusal, escalation, or containment), the system determines and offers a governed continuation path — clarification request, re-attestation prompt, escalation route, or constrained retry. A block that leaves the user or downstream system with no governed next step is a governance failure. The blocked condition must remain state-bearing and constrain future decisions.
Operational Purpose & Scope
Block due to insufficient evidence must produce a clarification continuation path. The system must not simply close the gate and leave no governed next step.

Governance Risk & Penalty
A block that leaves the user with no governed next step is a governance failure.
