# DEVIATION_1 decision

- Decision: **ACCEPTED** by Ford (run lead), 2026-10-27 07:33 MDT (UTC-6).
- DEVIATION_1.md sha256: e43d6d35bf63bc908cbaa2ed45586044f1b1169ae6def3b89deebaaee219b661
- Reason (Ford's words): "It's a mechanical parser correction, written and hashed before any GraphWalks item was built or scored, and the literal rule drops 100% of tasks."
- Effect: B3 GraphWalks is scored per PREREG.md with the queried-node rule of DEVIATION_1 and nothing else changed, using the item and control files already built and hashed in DATA_MANIFEST.json (sha256 7143cc3fd8d6527e79c5fb20c8d63da1fbc61305ef06a94731f8a90491e5c852).
- Paired mode: the prereg defines the paired arm for B1 only (O1), so it is not run for B3.
- Recorded by Ford's executor at the time of the decision, before any B3 nulltest run.
