ADR-0013: Exact-ArtifactSet LAB execution approval

Status: accepted (M4)

Decision

Separate integrity verification from permission to execute. Store LAB approval against one exact ArtifactSet and fingerprint the evidence reviewed. Expiry, revocation or evidence changes invalidate it. Do not infer production approval.

Consequences

Operators make the first code/data execution boundary explicit and auditable. New revisions and artifact variants require separate review even when the model name is unchanged.
