<a id="local-section-02-stack-a-patch-suggestion-2026-04-30-opera-a-authority-locality-reason"></a>
REASON:
    AREPO A MULTI-OPERA COEXISTENCE LAW requires OPERA A

    variants to declare authority locally as:

        TENET A / AREPO A

    Non-A carriers such as T, K, E-RQ, or I must be declared
    as local execution dependencies, not authority sources.


<a id="local-section-02-stack-a-patch-suggestion-2026-04-30-opera-a-authority-locality-observed"></a>
OBSERVED:
    Some OPERA A files still contain authority lines that name
    TENET T, TENET K, or TENET E as authority sources.


<a id="local-section-02-stack-a-patch-suggestion-2026-04-30-opera-a-authority-locality-patch-suggestion"></a>
PATCH SUGGESTION:

    Replace OPERA A variant authority declarations of the form:

        Authority: TENET A / TENET T / TENET K / TENET E / AREPO A


    with:

        Authority: TENET A / AREPO A


    Add local dependency declaration:


        Local Execution Dependencies:
            T / K / E-RQ MAY BE UTILIZED ONLY IF DECLARED IN ARTIFACT.
            TENET I MIXTURE DISCIPLINE REQUIRED WHERE MIXED CARRIERS ARE PRESENT.
            NO AUTHORITY TRANSFER.


<a id="local-section-02-stack-a-patch-suggestion-2026-04-30-opera-a-authority-locality-scope"></a>
SCOPE:
    SUGGESTED ONLY.
    NO STACK ARTIFACT WAS REWRITTEN DURING SIGMA_SATOR ASSEMBLY.
