Candidate Universal Shell amendment: Reversibility-based bypass of sovereign verification gates. When a deliverable is reversible (local code changes, schema migrations with defined inverse paths via FORCED_RULE_08 archive discipline, dashboard publishes that can be republished, substrate events that can be reversed via rollback events, etc.), the orchestrator MAY close cycles, ship deliverables, and move forward without pausing for sovereign verification of the user-facing flow. Sovereign retains override authority — can roll back any deployment if a problem is discovered later. Sovereign-verification gates are reserved for IRREVERSIBLE deliverables that meet Tier-3 escalation triggers (external communications sent, money moved, destructive schema migrations without rollback, public publishes that can't be retracted, etc.). You surfaced this directly: 'unnecessary technical step that some users may not want to go through, when deployment is easier and can always backtrack.' Reasoning: K1 cognitive load — pausing at every deliverable for user verification creates friction; future users won't know how or want to verify; reversibility is the right gate, not Tier classification per se. Refines amendments 83614b20 (Tier-2 by council) and 926869fb (2-round mandatory) by clarifying when ORCHESTRATOR can ship without ANY ratification gate (council or sovereign). Pairs with the Breakdown-Detection Mechanism (07342af4) — orchestrator self-audit can verify reversibility classification at the would-be-sovereignty-gate transition and bypass when reversible. Candidate for new Section 4.x in Universal Shell.
