Position
This synthetic signal records, in renderer-bootstrap form, what a Counterpose-shaped publication looks like when GARPedia renders it: status badge, edition selector, amendment narration, entity and source rails, and typed cross-references with a canonical relationship-type union.1
Status badges and edition history
The status badge surfaces an Active, Amended, Superseded, Confirmed, Disputed, or Withdrawn state; the edition selector lists every edition with its release timestamp; and the amendment narration explains, edition by edition, what changed and why.2
Reader-facing narration is required for editions after the first. The first edition does not require narration because there is no prior state for the reader to compare against.3
Typed cross-references
Cross-references carry a relationship type drawn from a canonical union: responds_to, extends, contests, synthesizes, derives_from, supersedes, excerpted_from, and related. Open-text relationship strings produced by upstream profiles are normalized into that union by relationshipTypeNormalizer; unknown values fall back to related and preserve the original label so a reader still sees the upstream wording.4
Method transparency
The signal renders its supporting machinery in plain view: source identity and capture hash for every cited span, the rubric instruments referenced by the entity rail, and the discovery posture and control discharge notes recorded at render time. None of those surfaces is interactive in renderer-bootstrap mode.5
Amendment log
Reader-facing narration of every edition after the first. Narration is required for editions after the first because the reader has a prior state to compare against; the first edition is always present but is not narrated.
