 ## Guardrails
-- Do not auto-promote candidates without evidence and license review.
-- Keep `status: verified` only for reviewed entries.
+- Auto-promotion accepts only entries that pass dedupe and catalog validation checks.
+- Keep `status: verified` for entries that pass automation checks and repository review.
 - Do not promote "reference-only" resources where Pashto is incidental; only Pashto-centric resources are eligible.
 - Treat spelling variants as valid Pashto markers during review (`pashto`, `pukhto`, `pushto`, `pakhto`, `pashto-script`).
 - Generated files must be committed after catalog updates.
