Production Gates

Bridge can show evidence before it opens public value movement. A lane is not production-active until proof, signer, finality, receipt, fee, refusal, and authority boundaries are ready enough to publish.

Gate Set

Every open lane needs these categories satisfied before Bridge should call it production-active.

Verifier

The host-chain proof source has to be production-ready for the lane being claimed.

Signer

Signing and custody posture must be named and bounded before production movement exists.

Finality

Reorg, timeout, replay, and confirmation rules must be clear enough for the lane.

DA receipt binding

Accepted Infra export or receipt binding must exist where the lane depends on durable proof memory.

Quarantine and refusal

Bad proof, mismatched routes, bad price, dust, fee failure, or unsafe authority must have a normal stop path.

Fee and dust policy

Host-chain costs, proof cost, memory cost, dust limits, and buffers must be visible as categories before quotes are trusted.

Authority boundary

Bridge can prove passage and acquisition posture. It cannot force Core admission, Liquid settlement, Infra truth, or any destination's accounting decision.

Opening Rule

Evidence can be visible while movement remains closed.
