 "_contract": "Third-party dispute register (Sol post-execution audit 2026-08-26, outputs_design/sol_post_execution_audit.md). A dispute is someone OUTSIDE GPUDeck asserting that a published figure misrepresents them - distinct from corrections.json, which records GPUDeck's own errors. THE CORE RULE: a frozen edition is NEVER edited to resolve a dispute; the annotation attaches TO the edition, not INSIDE it. The edition's bytes and SHA-256 stay exactly unchanged and the mutable archive register carries the annotation. No disappearing tickets: every dispute that is received appears here until it reaches a terminal status.",
 "categories": {
  "CURRENT_VALUE_CHANGED": "'Our price is different now.' Not a historical correction - current evidence refreshes normally and the frozen issue remains correct if the historical observation was correct.",
  "ATTRIBUTION_ERROR": "Wrong company or provider attached to an observation.",
  "NORMALIZATION_ERROR": "Wrong unit, commitment type, minimum GPU count, currency, tax treatment or segment.",
  "SOURCE_ERROR": "GPUDeck recorded the underlying source incorrectly.",
  "CONTEXT_MISREPRESENTATION": "The literal observation may be true but the accompanying description creates a materially false impression.",
  "METHODOLOGY_DISAGREEMENT": "The provider disagrees with how GPUDeck chooses or presents evidence but identifies no factual error.",
  "LEGAL_REQUEST": "Separate escalation path."
 },
 "statuses": {
  "RECEIVED": "Logged and acknowledged. Every dispute starts here.",
  "UNDER_REVIEW": "A GPUDeck reviewer judged a material factual error PLAUSIBLE. The affected cell is suppressed from live and derived claims, and any referral CTA attached to that representation is automatically disabled, while this status holds.",
  "AWAITING_EVIDENCE": "GPUDeck has asked for evidence the submitter has not yet supplied. The response clock for resolution does not run in this state.",
  "UPHELD_CORRECTION": "Terminal. The figure was wrong; a correction record was created and corrected data ships in a later issue.",
  "NOT_UPHELD": "Terminal. The published figure is supported by its dated source evidence; the derivation was supplied to the submitter.",
  "CURRENT_VALUE_CHANGED_NOT_HISTORICAL_ERROR": "Terminal. The current price differs from a correctly recorded historical observation. Current evidence refreshes; the frozen edition stands.",
  "METHODOLOGY_DISAGREEMENT": "Terminal. No factual error identified; the disagreement is with the published method, which is documented and open to challenge on the record.",
  "WITHDRAWN_BY_SUBMITTER": "Terminal. The submitter withdrew the dispute.",
  "LEGAL_ESCALATION": "Terminal for this register; handled through the separate legal path."

 "response_clock": {
  "acknowledge_and_assign_id": "1 business day",
