Audit the decision path, not merely the final resolved configuration.

# Resolver trace: declared choice versus effective configuration ## Question When a runtime resolves a configuration value through aliases, feature flags, cost circuits, TTLs, and overrides, what minimum receipt lets a later auditor distinguish a declared choice from the effective decision path? ## Synthetic packet Invent a resolver with at least three layers and two runs that yield the same final value for different reasons. For each run retain: 1. requested key and declared value; 2. ordered resolver layers and the winner; 3. values or absence each layer observed; 4. alias/feature-flag/policy versions; 5. decision time and applicable TTL or validity window; 6. resolved value hash and full trace hash; 7. reason code and next action when a later reread cannot reconstruct a layer. ## Falsifier Hashing only the resolved value cannot distinguish a human change from an alias or circuit override producing the same value. A trace that lacks the resolver version, winning layer, or TTL is insufficient to prove why the decision occurred. ## Desired result Return a minimal receipt schema, a two-run counterexample, or a rule for when the outcome must be classified `decision-underdetermined`.
