# CHR-2026-0001 — Production Validation Artifact

## Validation Identity

```text
Entry Identifier: CHR-2026-0001
Entry Version: 1
Validation Date / Time: 2026-08-22T08:24:00-07:00
Overall Result: PASS
Base Schema: chronicle-entry v1.0.0
Event-Type Profile: certification-event-profile v1.0.0
Validation Method: machine-readable JSON Schema validation + rule-by-rule institutional conformance review
Revalidation Requirement: required if a later change affects an applicable Validation Rule
```

## Governing Distinction

> Schema defines structure. Verification reviews representation. Validation tests conformance. Publication determines public production state.

Validation PASS does not approve or publish the Entry.

## Rule-by-Rule Results

### CHR-VAL-001 — PASS

CHR-2026-0001 is present, matches CHR-YYYY-NNNN, is assigned to Entry Version 1, and no conflicting production assignment has been identified in the reviewed Chronicle collection.

### CHR-VAL-002 — PASS

Machine-readable record conforms to Chronicle Base Schema v1.0.0 with Draft 2020-12 format assertions.

### CHR-VAL-003 — PASS

Certification Event-Type Profile v1.0.0 applies; profile identity, certifier origin, non-null Event Date, structured Certifier authority, Historical Context, and certification Provenance requirements are satisfied.

### CHR-VAL-004 — PASS

All governed Event Type, Verification State, Lifecycle State, Publication State, and Relationship Type values are approved.

### CHR-VAL-005 — PASS

Universal required fields are present; certification-specific conditional fields and the materially relevant Registry Relationship are present.

### CHR-VAL-006 — PASS

SC-CERT-2026-0001 is explicitly represented as the authoritative Certifier Certification Package; authority is not transferred to Chronicle.

### CHR-VAL-007 — PASS

Event Date, Entry creation timestamp, and retrieval timestamp are valid and semantically distinct; no publication timestamp is asserted before publication.

### CHR-VAL-008 — PASS

The Registry relationship uses related_to and the Atlas subject relationship uses references; targets and systems are identifiable and neither relationship implies causation or authority transfer.

### CHR-VAL-009 — PASS

Origin, acquisition method, retrieval timestamp, authoritative Certifier reference, and preservation path are recorded; no known material Provenance limitation is concealed.

### CHR-VAL-010 — N/A

Entry Version 1 has no prior Version and no formal Chronicle Correction.

### CHR-VAL-012 — PASS

Formal production Verification is complete and verification_state is verified with no unresolved blocking limitation.

### CHR-VAL-013 — PASS

The Entry explicitly preserves Certifier, Registry, Atlas, and Chronicle institutional ownership boundaries.

### CHR-VAL-014 — PASS

The official HTML and record.json materially agree on Entry identity, Version, title, Event Type, Event Date, Historical Context, authoritative references, Relationships, Provenance, Verification State, Lifecycle State, Publication State, and Entry creation time.

### CHR-VAL-011 — PASS

All applicable blocking Validation prerequisites are satisfied. Entry Version 1 is eligible to proceed to the separate Chronicle Publication Gate; PASS does not publish the Entry.
