RULE-EXEC-NOTARY: Notary / witness blocks are complete
| Kind | execution |
| Severity | exception (blocks approval until it is overridden or a corrected re-run clears it) |
| Ruleset | v1.0 |
| Inputs | execution zones from the locate stage (execution_checks) |
What it checks
Section titled “What it checks”Notary acknowledgments (and witness or e-signature certificate blocks where a template requires them) must be complete.
How it decides
Section titled “How it decides”Empty notary, witness or esign_cert zones are exceptions, with one finding per document. In the default templates, Guaranties and E&O agreements carry notary blocks. The decision is deterministic code, not a model: extraction only supplies the zone results and their provenance.
Thresholds (Settings → Other options → rules)
Section titled “Thresholds (Settings → Other options → rules)”- none (no bank-policy threshold applies)
The thresholds in force are recorded on every reconciliation run. An administrator can switch this rule off under Settings → Rules; a disabled rule is skipped by later runs, and the skip is recorded on each run and in the evidence chain.
Example
Section titled “Example”Guaranty notary block unsigned → exception listing notary_block (p.2).
Resolution
Section titled “Resolution”Correct the documents and re-process the package (a new reconciliation run is created; nothing is edited in place), or override the finding with a reason code from review.reason_codes and a written justification of at least review.justification_min_length characters. Overrides need the manager or administrator role. Accepting an exception records that a person reviewed it but does not clear it. Every action is recorded in the finding history and the evidence chain.
