    accTitle: Conformity-gate severity-to-verdict decision flow
    accDescr: A finding's severity determines the gate verdict. A Critical finding — M5 authority or M12 orphan output — fails the gate and blocks emission unconditionally. Important findings block only when two or more fail simultaneously; a single Important finding does not block. Advisory findings are logged in the signed record and never block emission.
