✅ Article highlight: *Shadow Operation and Dual-Run Governance for Successor Admission* (art-60-292, v0.1)
TL;DR:
This article argues that a successor model should not earn live authority just because it looks good in an A/B test.
292 turns shadow operation into a governed dual-run: keep the predecessor live, run the successor on the same bounded case stream, and compare not only answers but admissibility, human override, tool use, incident severity, trace quality, and claim continuity.

Why it matters:
• separates A/B testing from successor admission
• keeps shadow output from quietly becoming shadow authority
• catches cases where answer quality looks similar but escalation discipline changes
• treats override and incident deltas as governance signals, not ops noise
• blocks early “same system, better model” claims while material gaps remain
What’s inside:
• dual-run governance profiles
• successor shadow reports
• admission comparison bundles with representative divergence cases
• comparison surfaces for capability, admissibility, override, incident, tool use, trace legibility, latency, and cost
• explicit divergence thresholds and review triggers
• admission outcomes such as extend shadow, bounded admission, re-certification, or non-equivalence
Key idea:
Do not say:
*“we ran the new model in parallel and it looked good.”*
Say:
*“this successor ran under this dual-run profile, diverged on these governance surfaces, produced these override and incident deltas, and received only this bounded admission posture before any live authority or continuity claim.”*
Shadow operation is not a rehearsal.
It is an evidence-producing admission gate.
