# ADR-0014: Static versus locally proven runtime support

Status: accepted (M4)

## Decision

Represent static compatibility and successful local execution as different evidence. Runtime
declarations can establish format/architecture expectations; only a completed probe can establish
local support for an exact environment/profile/node/artifact fingerprint.

## Consequences

Unknown or incomplete evidence remains `unknown`/`requires_probe`; no optimistic compatibility
fallback exists. Driver, image, runtime, artifact or hardware changes make evidence stale.
