**adjudication: MACHINE (registered rules); orchestrator countersign PENDING**

**Decider:** Uttarakhand (NAMAMI `state_id`='34') -- decision floor: walk complete=True, reconciled=100.0% (distinct external_id 11964 vs partition-recorded total 11964, threshold 98.9%). Moved-in (rows predating the walk start) = 120 (walk start source: TaskRun id=8635 started_at (first non-probe harvest_scriptome_namami run for state_id='34')). Values: `popper_v2_rung3_validation_uttarakhand_values.{json,md}` (30 instruments run; frozen queries verbatim; 5-way batched/standalone equivalence check identical).

**Machine verdicts:**

- **KILL-CANDIDATE (2):** r3-b1-36, r3-b1-37
- **REQUIRES-RE-DERIVATION (1):** r3-b1-20
- **CONTEXT-ONLY (1):** r3-b1-33

**KILL-CANDIDATE detail (graveyard furniture, machine-drafted):**

- **r3-b1-36** -- Distinct-subject-value density (distinct raw.subject_raw per record) stays in [0.15%, 1.2%] in every complete state. Measured: {"n": 11964, "distinct_subj": 464, "density_pct": 3.878301571380809}. Band: [0.15%, 1.2%].
- **r3-b1-37** -- Every complete state's records span between 30 and 160 distinct raw.language_raw values. Measured: {"distinct_language_count": 25}. Band: [30, 160].

**REQUIRES-RE-DERIVATION detail** (registration §4: near-threshold verdicts require independent re-derivation by a second lane before adjudication):

- **r3-b1-20** -- relative distance 0.0 of the band edge. Band: floor 6.

**Skipped:**

- r3-b1-03: no per-state clause (cross-source/whole-corpus comparator, or tail-UT-only)
- r3-b1-04: no per-state clause (cross-source/whole-corpus comparator, or tail-UT-only)
- r3-b1-05: no per-state clause (cross-source/whole-corpus comparator, or tail-UT-only)
- r3-b1-06: no per-state clause (cross-source/whole-corpus comparator, or tail-UT-only)
- r3-b1-07: no per-state clause (cross-source/whole-corpus comparator, or tail-UT-only)
- r3-b1-09: no per-state clause (cross-source/whole-corpus comparator, or tail-UT-only)
- r3-b1-18: no per-state clause (cross-source/whole-corpus comparator, or tail-UT-only)
- r3-b1-28: already holdout-killed (registration §7 Validation event 2 -- Assam (2026-08-05)); registration §7 events 1-2
