**Date:** 2026-05-29

## 1. Impact Matrix

| Decision or gap | Requirements impact | Design impact | Verification impact | Release impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DEC-012 open | Public wording and OSS gates remain constrained | Legal surfaces must avoid over-claiming | Audit evidence required | Public/store release No-Go |
| Android Keystore-backed DEK deferred | Secure-storage claim limited | Storage design carries fallback limitation | Platform audit required | Waiver required |
| Full reducer tests incomplete | State verification incomplete | State design remains valid but evidence partial | SWE.4/SWE.5 partial | Blocks full state-sync claim |
| Desktop/iOS artifacts not release-ready | Platform packaging requirements partial | Release design remains source-build/unsigned | SYS.4 evidence partial | Public binary release No-Go |
| VAD deferred | VoiceActivity not active | UI must show disabled/coming-soon | No VAD pass claim | No VAD marketing claim |

## 2. Conclusion

Current impacts are controlled for DV by waivers and release No-Go status.
