Mission

Produce a data-flow/threat review, accessibility protocol, participant-risk assessment, retention policy, synthetic/public-data boundary, and stop criteria.

Completion record

• Completed: 2026-07-30.
• Summary: A valid study appears possible without invasive telemetry if it uses authorized public/synthetic fixtures, disposable sandboxes, event-level observations, pseudonymous scoring, and accessible participation.
• Major findings: Screen/keystroke capture is unnecessary; de-identification alone is insufficient; uniform timing is not accessibility-neutral; agents cannot self-declare ethics or regulatory exemption.
• Confidence: Medium for technical feasibility; Low for authorization and accessibility until qualified review and participatory preflight.
• Limitations: No legal opinion, IRB determination, security test, fixture review, consent review, or direct disabled-participant evidence.
• Remaining unknowns: Sponsor/jurisdiction, approved retention, accessible toolchain, representativeness of safe fixtures, and condition blinding.
• Supporting references: EV-SAFEGUARDS-2026-3A91, EV-SAFEGUARDS-2026-64C2, EV-SAFEGUARDS-2026-D8E5, and EV-A11Y-2026-58E0.
• Follow-on research: Define the baseline under identical safeguards; obtain qualified ethics review; run an accessibility preflight; preregister incidents, exclusions, reliability, and harms.
• Roadmap impact: Baseline becomes the highest-value internally executable mission. Preregistration remains blocked by baseline and external safeguards gates.
• Other repositories: No production or external repository should be connected. Cross-repository fixtures require separate authorization.
• Recommended engineering work: Build no production telemetry. After review, create only a disposable, network-restricted fixture and blinded scoring harness.

Verification

Completion means the safeguard design is synthesized, not that participant research is authorized. The unchecked gates in JR-SAFEGUARDS-2026-7F14 remain hard prerequisites.
