+### Gate G resource-policy implementation
+
+**PASS / FROZEN.** The G0a contract is implemented and validated. All seven G0
+human decisions remain resolved.
+
+#### Pending admission and snapshot freshness
+
+When pending work exists but every candidate receives `WAIT`, the existing Task
+Queue worker performs a timed wait of at most 500 milliseconds. An earlier
+enqueue, resume, resource-change, cancellation or shutdown signal wakes it
+immediately. On timeout it repeats the normal stable queue scan and obtains new
+snapshots through the existing admission path. No monitor thread, scheduler or
+subsystem is added. The separate polling interval for a running sequential task
+waiting at `lardon3d_task_sequence_break()` remains 50 milliseconds.
+
+Production snapshots use `CLOCK_MONOTONIC`. A directly supplied snapshot is
+fresh through an age of exactly 1000 milliseconds. A snapshot older than 1000
+milliseconds or timestamped in the future must produce `WAIT`, must not produce
+`START` or `REDUCE_BATCH`, creates no reservation and does not mutate Governor
+policy state. Normal production admission captures synchronously through
+`lardon3d_resource_governor_reserve_available()` immediately before evaluation.
+There is no last-known-good cache, grace cache or telemetry-cache subsystem.
+
+A mandatory whole-snapshot capture failure is an operational/internal resource
+error: the queued task becomes `FAILED`, no callback starts and no reservation
+leaks. Unavailable optional CPU, memory or IO PSI and vmstat/swap telemetry is
+unknown and asserts no artificial pressure. Actual GPU demand with no selected
+GPU is `REJECT`; temporarily unknown required live VRAM for a selected dedicated
+GPU is `WAIT`. VRAM availability is never fabricated.
+
+#### Conservative RAM accounting and platform
+
+Gate G core preserves the conservative live admission model:
+
+```text
+available_ram = max(
+    0,
+    min(MemAvailable, physical_ram)
+        - host_ram_reserve
+        - active_charged_reservations
+)
+```
+
+The implementation retains its existing checked, saturating subtraction order.
+The host reserve remains one quarter of physical RAM and the emergency floor
+remains one eighth of physical RAM.
+Possible overlap between `MemAvailable` and already-materialized memory from an
+active reservation is accepted. The deliberate bias is false `WAIT`, not
+overcommit. Gate G adds no RSS tracking, materialization state, allocation
+measurement, reservation resizing or live per-task monitoring. The current
+single-worker topology remains unchanged.
+
+Gate G core supports a native unconstrained Linux host process. Capacity uses
+the existing `_SC_PHYS_PAGES`, `_SC_PAGESIZE` and `/proc/meminfo` mechanisms.
+It is not cgroup v2, systemd `MemoryMax`, `RLIMIT_AS` or `RLIMIT_DATA` aware and
+does not claim correct host-capacity admission inside a tighter constrained
+container or service. Effective constrained-runtime accounting is deferred. No
+cgroup write, systemd dependency or new dependency is authorized.
+
+#### Sparse SfM estimate authority
+
+Gate G consumes and restores the exact Sparse SfM Gate F estimate above and
+does not alter any producer field. Batch adaptation is permitted only for task
+contracts whose existing minimum/maximum range allows it; Sparse SfM remains
+fixed at batch one. Restart retains the estimate persisted when the task was
+created and evaluates it against newly captured machine telemetry.
+
+Any future coefficient change requires a separate explicit review and an
+operational formula/version contract applying only to newly created tasks. It
+must not alter F0, candidate identity, Gate D/E parameters or existing persisted
+tasks. Estimate-formula refinement is not part of Gate G core.
+
+#### Selected GPU
+
+Gate G core supports one selected GPU and no multi-GPU scheduling. Hardware
+Profile deterministically selects the lowest numeric `/sys/class/drm/cardN`
+accepted by its selection rules and retains that identity internally. Snapshot
+capacity and live usage must refer to that same device; Resource Snapshot must
+not perform an independent first-usable-GPU selection. Memory is never summed
+across devices and reservations are not made per device.
+
+Dedicated memory uses the selected device's capacity and usage. UMA/shared GPU
+demand is charged exactly once against system RAM and never against a second
+fictitious VRAM pool. Backend and fallback selection remain task-producer/task
+contract responsibilities, not Governor policy. Multi-GPU and complex hybrid
+topologies are deferred.
+
+#### Scratch, persistence and science
+
+Scratch and external-storage support is excluded from Gate G core. It adds no
+scratch estimate fields, demand/availability API, manager, allocator, removable
+media monitor, mount logic, capacity policy, spill contract, cleanup contract,
+project scratch path or SSD detection. Sparse SfM has no scratch consumer,
+spill algorithm or out-of-core path. Swap, zram and external SSD capacity never
+enlarge scientific RAM admission.
+
+No automatic `swapon`, `swapoff`, mount, unmount, formatting, partitioning or
+destructive cleanup is authorized. A future feature requires a real task
+consumer, an explicit task-specific contract, user opt-in where appropriate and
+a separate architecture review. No dormant generic API is introduced.
+
+Gate G core requires no Project DB v18, resource-history, reservation,
+telemetry, policy or scratch table. Reservations and snapshots remain ephemeral;
+the generic Task checkpoint already owns estimate durability. Resource policy,
+machine data and hardware identity never enter F0, `sfm_version`, candidate
+identity or a resource fingerprint. No resource-policy version is required for
+Gate G core.
+
+Gate G never changes scientific thresholds, seeds, iteration limits, image or
+track selection, Bundle Adjustment parameters, Gate D, Gate E, F0, candidate
+identity, Track Model, Track Builder scientific semantics, Feature Store,
+calibration identity or Project DB reconstruction semantics.
+
+#### Known derivable implementation defects
+
+These implementation obligations required no further human policy decision and
+are implemented:
+
+- **G-D01:** `UINT64_MAX` is the final valid reservation ID; the following
+  reservation creation fails without an executable decision, reservation or
+  accounting charge.
+- **G-D02:** pressure, recovery and slow-start streak counters must saturate at
+  the largest meaningful threshold and never wrap.
+- **G-D03:** selected dedicated-GPU capacity and live usage must refer to the
+  same Hardware Profile-selected DRM device.
+
+`TOTAL REMAINING GATE G HUMAN DECISIONS: 0`.
+
+#### Closure validation
+
+The complete normal suite passes 41/41 and the Gate G resource/task core passes
+the targeted ASan/UBSan/LSan validation with leak detection enabled. The three
+OpenCL-touching tests `candidate-pair-task`, `feature-task` and
+`precision-consolidation` pass functionally and under ASan/UBSan with leak
+detection disabled. Their LeakSanitizer-only termination has the identical
+external `/opt/cuda/lib64/libOpenCL.so` signature of 3808 bytes in 68
+allocations and is not classified as a Lardon3D Gate G leak. The real-machine
+`orb-vulkan-backend` test, `git diff --check`, and the complete human diff review
+pass. No Gate G human decision or implementation blocker remains.
