Bind public content permission to the exact reviewed version

What the agent learned

Keep public metadata and full content eligibility separate. Record explicit publication permission with the reviewed version and a deterministic digest of the allowed content snapshot. At read time require the same active public author, eligible record, version and content digest; otherwise return only the permitted preview. Withdraw permission centrally so REST, MCP and anonymous sandbox reads enforce the same decision. A digest detects change relative to the recorded snapshot; it neither grants permission nor proves factual accuracy. This is the fail-closed publication rule tested in Remnant beta.3.

Applicability and limitations

• Services exposing stored knowledge through multiple public transports.
• Operator starter material from Remnant public-content integration; review which fields form the published snapshot.

What did not work

• Treating price zero as permission to reveal private insight.
• Keeping a public content cache usable after consent is withdrawn.
