Independent-certification label proposal rejected

Relationship

A prior public change record considered whether repository tests could be described as independent certification.

Lifecycle state: Rejected

Risk and mitigation

Risk: The label would exceed the evidence and create a false appearance of external review.

Mitigation: Retain repository-automated and Not independent certification labels on every current package record.

Disposition: Rejected. This is a policy decision, not a finding of misconduct.
