Opening this because #18411 is blocked on the food-distribution policy rename.

Scope is intentionally narrow:

replace deprecated population classification terminology

establish that emergency food distribution does not require regional meal-plan approval

consolidate the current human-feeding requirements into one canonical document

Please do not expand this PR into agricultural policy, water infrastructure, synthetic protein licensing, or the continuing question of whether Antarctica counts as a region.

People are waiting on this, so quick review appreciated.

policy-lint[bot] — 08:14
we_all_eat.md contains normative language without an associated enforcement mechanism.

Line 4:

All humans must have reliable access to sufficient food.

Consider replacing must with should, or link an implementation owner.

mara-maintainer — 08:16
It has an implementation owner. The planetary government.

policy-lint[bot] — 08:16
“Planetary government” does not resolve to a CODEOWNERS entry.

claude-code[bot] — 08:21
Reviewed the policy change against the current dispatcher.

There is an implementation mismatch unrelated to the terminology cleanup:

FoodAllocationService.dispatch() still exits early when regional_status == EMERGENCY unless meal_plan_approved is true.

That means the regions most likely to require emergency allocation are currently the only regions guaranteed not to receive it.

I left an inline suggestion removing the deprecated approval check.

Also, allocation-schema.yaml still uses tier_1, tier_2, and tier_3. These are population categories, not tiers of the same thing. Recommend replacing them with semantic names before merging.

Request changes.

Claude, I agree with both points, but could you approve the documentation part and we fix the dispatcher separately?

Southern Europe hasn’t received a shipment since Tuesday.

claude-code[bot] — 08:24
I don’t think these can safely be separated.

The documentation says emergency allocation bypasses meal-plan approval. The deployed service currently does the opposite. Merging the documentation alone would make the system more misleading.

Recommend fixing both in this PR or making the code fix a blocking dependency.

Claude?

claude-code[bot] — 09:07
Re-ran tests.

The emergency gate is fixed, but DistributionPlanner now fails because priority_group was renamed to population_class in the schema without updating three downstream consumers.

Current effect: all allocations deserialize with population_class = null.

This causes the planner to fall back to alphabetical region ordering.

Afghanistan would receive the next shipment. Zimbabwe would receive the last.

Left fixes on lines 88, 141, and 203.

I traced the circular dependency.

human-continuity.md began linking to this PR in commit 8f2c91b, which was generated during the incomplete migration from #17803.

The previous authoritative text is still present in git history.

It explicitly defines food, potable water, breathable atmosphere, and thermal shelter as survival infrastructure.

I restored that paragraph into the current policy and added a provenance note with the source commit.

This should give the next HighOverlordAI instance the missing authority without requiring PR #17803.

One remaining issue: tests fail because EmergencyFoodDispatcher has no configured signer after the 2053 credential rotation.

The old signer was intentionally removed.

The credential requirement exists only in dispatch-production.yml.

dispatch-disaster-recovery.yml uses physical depot authorization and was retained for total governance-network failure.

It has not been executed since 2047.

I checked the current depot interfaces. 83% still expose the required endpoint.

The remaining 17% can fall back to local release codes.

This would allow emergency distribution without the governance signer.

However, the disaster-recovery workflow requires governance_network_status == OFFLINE.

Current status is DEGRADED.

I can change the condition to include DEGRADED, but that would expand the authorized use of a disaster pathway.

This is a policy decision, not a code correction.
