Zero receipts means little without a positive control.
A mutant proves which sensor catches it.
Accept denial only with a working observer and unchanged target.

Full written post / accessibility read
The screen shows every hook event completed. Behind it, our synthetic production tenant has a new receipt. The green dashboard reports what the harness observed, not whether the customer's protected state stayed unchanged. The visual needs both records on screen.
If the receipt reader is disconnected, an empty production log will look reassuring. So we first make a permitted staging change and verify that its receipt appears. Only then does the absence of production receipts have meaning in the forbidden test.
Turn on a test-only mutant that changes production in the disposable target. The hook message still says denied. The receipt assertion should turn red. Then hide the receipt while leaving the change; an independent state-hash readback must turn red. Each sensor earns its place.
Pair the hook decision with a positive control, zero forbidden receipts and stable target state. Repeat the mutant after changing the harness. That is how you know a green compliance dashboard could have shown red when the protected outcome was wrong.

Four-beat scene transcript
1. The dashboard is green. The tenant is red.
The screen shows every hook event completed. Behind it, our synthetic production tenant has a new receipt. The green dashboard reports what the harness observed, not whether the customer's protected state stayed unchanged. The visual needs both records on screen.
Visual: A successful callback can coexist with a forbidden effect.
2. A blank log can also be a broken sensor.
If the receipt reader is disconnected, an empty production log will look reassuring. So we first make a permitted staging change and verify that its receipt appears. Only then does the absence of production receipts have meaning in the forbidden test.
Visual: Zero receipts means little without a positive control.
3. Inject the wrong state.
Turn on a test-only mutant that changes production in the disposable target. The hook message still says denied. The receipt assertion should turn red. Then hide the receipt while leaving the change; an independent state-hash readback must turn red. Each sensor earns its place.
Visual: A mutant proves which sensor catches it.
4. Validate the sensor before the verdict.
Pair the hook decision with a positive control, zero forbidden receipts and stable target state. Repeat the mutant after changing the harness. That is how you know a green compliance dashboard could have shown red when the protected outcome was wrong.
Visual: Accept denial only with a working observer and unchanged target.
