This is a mechanical digest: every item below traces to a canonical KYE™ artefact (a constitution chapter, a registry, or a sealed report), never to outside commentary. For the week of 16–22 June 2026 (edition 2026-W26), the headline is jurisdiction: two new constitutional chapters landed in the same window — one making _where_ an action happens a first-class admissibility dimension, the other making unstructured-document citation a governed, replay-verifiable capability. Reporting on canonical KYE™ artefacts; not investment or compliance advice. ## Key findings - **Two governance chapters adopted this week.** §71 Document Intelligence Rail™ and §72 Jurisdiction & Data-Sovereignty Authority both carry an Adopted date of 2026-06-19 in their structured headers — the canon grew by two locked chapters in one week. - **Geography is now an admissibility dimension.** §72 makes the jurisdiction of an action a first-class input to the moment-of-use decision, not a downstream compliance review — the same shape KYE Protocol™ already applies to purpose and authority. - **Citation became a governed capability.** §71 brings navigating, retrieving and _citing_ unstructured regulatory and policy documents under one governed, replay-verifiable contract — every extract pinned to a source, never a free-text paraphrase. - **The canonical registries keep their depth.** The framework registry tracks 202 frameworks under mapping, the product registry declares 59 commercial products, and the Governed Research Rail library holds 12 published editions — the numbers a buyer can verify against the live registries. ## What changed in the canon this week TL;DR This section relays the canonical deltas for edition 2026-W26 as recorded in the source-of-truth registries; it does not characterise anything beyond what those artefacts state. This section relays the canonical deltas for edition 2026-W26 as recorded in the source-of-truth registries; it does not characterise anything beyond what those artefacts state. - **§72 Jurisdiction & Data-Sovereignty Authority — Adopted 2026-06-19.** The chapter makes geography a first-class dimension of admissibility: which jurisdiction an action touches, and which data-sovereignty regime governs it, become inputs to the Action Admissibility™ decision at the moment it happens — rather than a separate, later jurisdiction review. The structured header records the lock and the adoption date. - **§71 Document Intelligence Rail™ — Adopted 2026-06-19.** The chapter brings navigating, retrieving and citing unstructured documents (long regulatory prose, standards, policy PDFs) under one tenant-scoped, governed contract. Every cited extract is pinned to its source, so a claim drawn from a 400-page regulation is replay-verifiable rather than an unattributed paraphrase. It explicitly does not re-index KYE™'s own structured canon — that already has a deterministic index. - **Framework registry — 202 frameworks under mapping.** The canonical framework registry continues to be the one source-of-truth root for every regime, framework and standard KYE™ maps to. The honesty bar holds: a mapping counts as enforced only with a cited KYE™ artefact, so the coverage number is never inflated. ## What KYE Protocol™ reads into it (interpretation, not advice) TL;DR This section is KYE Protocol™'s interpretation of the week's canonical deltas, clearly separated from the recorded facts above, and is not investment or compliance advice. This section is KYE Protocol™'s interpretation of the week's canonical deltas, clearly separated from the recorded facts above, and is not investment or compliance advice. - **The admissibility surface is widening on purpose.** Purpose, authority, and now jurisdiction are each becoming first-class inputs to the same moment-of-use decision. The pattern is consistent: governance is discharged _when the action happens_, not reconstructed afterwards — which is exactly what higher-risk regimes increasingly require of the deployer. - **Citation is a governance primitive, not a convenience.** §71 treats "where did this claim come from" as a control, not a footnote. A governed answer that cannot name its pinned source is not a governed answer — the same no-hallucination discipline the Governed Research Rail applies to every published edition. - **The registries are the receipts.** A buyer evaluating KYE Protocol™ does not have to take a number on faith — the framework count, the product count, and the research-library count are each a query over a canonical registry the protocol governs itself against. The Pulse simply relays them. ## How to verify this edition TL;DR Every claim above is pinned to a canonical KYE™ artefact and listed in the sources below. Every claim above is pinned to a canonical KYE™ artefact and listed in the sources below. This edition is Ed25519-sealed over the published keys: fetch the published JWKS, recompute the signature over the canonicalised envelope bound to this body's hash, and confirm it matches — from public keys alone, no KYE™ service in the loop. The KYE™ Authority Pulse™ ships weekly; whether and how any canonical delta applies to a given organisation is a matter for that organisation's own advisers. ## Claims → sources — every claim mapped to a pinned source This is the claims→source map: no claim ships without a cited, pinned public source (evidence gate).
