Fold six review findings into docs/proposals/ge-enforce-plugin.md:
- Parity gate is behavioral equivalence, not byte-identity. Re-serialized JSON
differs in key order/whitespace/_comment formatting, so a raw diff never
converges; the test is same ordered entry set with identical detection/
targeting/action per entry.
- Dedicated payloadsha256 column, independent of detectionmethod. DetectionValue
is a SHA256 only for detectionmethod=Hash; MSIs with Registry/FileVersion
detection carry no payload hash, so an HTTP/inline fetch would otherwise run
unverified bytes. Client verifies fetched bytes against payloadsha256.
- Immutable published snapshots (manifestpublishedversions). Editing touches a
draft only; publish freezes a snapshot; the client is always served the latest
published snapshot, never the live draft; rollback republishes a prior
snapshot (the post-cutover safety net once the on-share JSON is retired).
- Scope uniqueness is (scopename, phase), not scopename alone; preinstall is one
flat scope gated internally by PCTypes, not per-pctype scopes.
- Alias graph: engine lib stays the single source of truth, shopdb only mirrors
it for validation; do not invert to engine-fetches-from-shopdb.
- Desired-vs-observed needs a new collector field (the installedVersions status
map), not existing data; flagged as a dependency.
Plus TLS trust for the SYSTEM-context client and importer skips .bak variants.
