# UNDER_REPORT_SIGNAL

**Type:** Output schema template
**Producer:** Self-Audit Resistance Monitor, Step 7
**Consumer:** Reopen Authority Enforcer (extends audit scope or triggers calibration refresh)
**One signal per flagged surface area.**

```

## Field rules

- `affordance_triggered` MUST be exactly one of the two under-report affordances.
- `calibration_evidence.calibration_record_id` MUST reference an indistinguishability-passing calibration; if none within staleness, emit `recommended_action=block_silence_until_refresh`.
- `threshold_violated_classes` names the specific classes below tolerance; empty list is invalid for an under-report signal from Affordance 1.
- `indistinguishability_state.status=broken` (detection >= 75%) requires parallel escalation to Phase 1B E9 reopen channel.
- `seeded_catch_rate_is_lower_bound` is always `true`; hard-coded per Bieman 1996 / Jia & Harman 2011.

## Validation (Reopen Authority Enforcer side)

- Reject if `calibration_evidence` is missing.
- Reject if the named calibration record is older than staleness threshold (default 14 days).
- Cross-check against the current calibrated-silence emission -- if silence was emitted on a surface where under-report fired, emit contradiction signal.
