📊 DEFONEOS: BFT Council — Vote Tally by Quorum Threshold

Drill-down by motion class. The DEFONEOS BFT defence council operates on 5 distinct quorum thresholds, each with its own ring-distinct approval profile. This page shows how each threshold performs in production: how many motions were filed, how many passed, and how the rings voted on each class. Cross-references the BFT minutes (tick-117) and per-ring drill-down (tick-119).

🔍 Per-Threshold Detail

Standard Threshold (23/33) — 84 motions

Purpose: Routine operational motions, MCP promotion, page deployment, SBOM refresh, witness list updates, alliance partner on/off-boarding.

Ring distribution: R1 (84/84 cosign) · R2 (82/84 approve + 2 amend) · R3 (83/84 approve + 1 amend) · R4 (78/84 approve + 6 amend) · R5 (74/84 approve + 10 amend + 0 veto).

Last 5 standard motions: M-138 (MCP-defoneos-pen-test-summary deployment, 28/33) · M-137 (SBOM-Q3-2026 batch publish, 30/33) · M-136 (witness list Q3 rotation, 27/33) · M-135 (operator troubleshooting knowledge base publish, 26/33) · M-134 (changelog v6 publish, 29/33).

Owner cosign for SEAL eligibility: All 84 standard motions have R1 owner cosign; therefore all 84 are SEAL-eligible candidates.

Red-Line Threshold (27/33) — 38 motions

Purpose: US-vendor introduction attempts, jurisdiction expansions, US CDN or cloud-API integration, telemetry changes, US root CA introductions, US-vendor JS additions.

Ring distribution: R1 (38/38 cosign) · R2 (35/38 approve + 3 amend) · R3 (37/38 approve + 1 amend) · R4 (34/38 approve + 4 amend) · R5 (32/38 approve + 6 amend + 0 veto).

Coverage by red-line vector: US CDN: 14 motions · US root CA: 3 motions · US cloud API: 11 motions · US NTP: 2 motions · US telemetry: 9 motions · US-vendor JS: 6 motions · kinetic patterns: 0 motions (forbidden by charter).

Amendments integrated: 16 motions received R5 amend proposals; all 16 were integrated into rolled motion text before final vote.

Constitutional Threshold (30/33) — 12 motions

Purpose: Charter amendments, ring composition changes, witness policy rewrites, SEAL criteria revisions, council probe schema changes.

Ring distribution: R1 (12/12 cosign) · R2 (11/12 approve + 1 amend) · R3 (12/12 approve) · R4 (11/12 approve + 1 amend) · R5 (10/12 approve + 2 amend + 0 veto).

Notable constitutional motions: M-CONST-001 (5-ring composition locked) · M-CONST-005 (witness policy v2 with VRF) · M-CONST-009 (SEAL criteria with owner-cosign gate) · M-CONST-012 (council probe schema v2).

Owner-Seat Unanimous (33/33) — 4 motions

Purpose: Owner-seat activation, first DEFONEOS-SEAL issuance, witness reset after key compromise, charter adoption.

Ring distribution: R1 (4/4 cosign) · R2 (4/4 approve) · R3 (4/4 approve) · R4 (4/4 approve) · R5 (4/4 approve).

Motion list: M-OWN-001 (charter adoption 2026-04-01) · M-OWN-002 (first witness list activation 2026-04-15) · M-OWN-003 (SEAL criteria locked 2026-05-20) · M-OWN-004 (witness reset post-drill 2026-06-30).

Pending unanimous motions: First DEFONEOS-SEAL issuance to MCP-defoneos-pen-test-summary (awaits Nick's SC clearance + human-owner seat activation).

Emergency Threshold (17/33) — 4 motions

Purpose: Time-boxed containment of red-line incidents (US-vendor JS injection, supply-chain compromise, US CDN slip).

Ring distribution: R1 (4/4 cosign) · R2 (4/4 approve) · R3 (4/4 approve) · R4 (4/4 approve) · R5 (3/4 approve + 1 amend + 0 veto).

Sunset clause: All 4 emergency motions were confirmed by standard 23/33 vote within the 72h window. None auto-sunset.

Notable emergency motions: M-EMER-001 (US CDN slip rollback 2026-05-12) · M-EMER-003 (npm supply-chain audit trigger 2026-06-04) · M-EMER-004 (telemetry slip rollback 2026-06-22).

🔬 Threshold Compliance Audit

Audit methodology: Each motion's final tally is verified against the threshold by recomputing the vote count from the witness-signed tally receipts. The owner cosign for SEAL-eligibility is verified via the owner-signing-key cosign chain. Witness disagreement (a witness reporting a tally different from the council probe) is the primary integrity check — 0 events recorded.
Audit check Method Coverage Result
Threshold computation Recompute approve votes ≥ threshold per ring profile 142/142 PASS
Owner cosign verification Verify R1 owner key signature against motion hash 142/142 PASS
Witness fingerprint match 3-witness duty per ring matches signed tally receipts 426/426 (3 × 142) PASS
Red-line vector coverage Motion text references specific red-line vector 38/38 red-line motions PASS
Emergency sunset compliance Confirm 23/33 vote within 72h or auto-sunset 4/4 emergency motions PASS
Constitutional R5 endorsement Verify R5≥4/6 on charter amendments 12/12 constitutional PASS
Unanimous witness set Verify all 33 seats signed, none abstained 4/4 unanimous motions PASS

🔗 Cross-Reference

🛡️ Red-Line Invariants (7)

  1. Owner cosign for SEAL. R1 owner cosign is required for any motion to be SEAL-eligible. Without cosign, the motion is operationally valid but cannot generate a DEFONEOS-SEAL.
  2. Witness fingerprint match. 3 witnesses per ring (15 total) must produce matching tally receipts. Any single disagreement escalates the motion to red-line status automatically.
  3. Threshold computation must match the motion class. A motion filed as standard (23/33) cannot be approved with only 22 approve votes even if R1 cosign is present.
  4. Red-line vector explicit in motion text. Every red-line motion must name the specific red-line vector (US CDN / US root CA / US cloud API / US NTP / US telemetry / US-vendor JS / kinetic).
  5. R5 amendment integration. If R5 files an amendment, the final motion text must include the amendment; otherwise the motion fails on procedural grounds.
  6. Emergency sunset compliance. Emergency motions auto-sunset at 72h unless confirmed by a standard 23/33 vote. Witness logs must record the confirmation vote.
  7. Unanimous requires full witness set. 33/33 motions require every council seat to sign. Any abstention demotes the motion to constitutional (30/33) and the motion is re-filed.
