A Guard can only depend on Guards with `rep: true` — `rep` indicates the Guard's `repository.data` queries (query 1167) do not depend on runtime submissions, so results are deterministic and the Guard can serve as a dependency. Guards with `rep: false` cannot appear in `rely` lists. Violations are caught by the contract layer at creation time.

 ### Verifier Constraint Levels — Designing Who Can Pass
 
-When a Guard uses `context(Signer)`, the designer chooses how strictly to constrain the verifier's identity. Three levels exist, trading off **security** against **convenience**. Evaluating designer intent and dismantling the semantic execution plan across these levels is a core capability — choose the right level for each scene.
-
-#### Level 1 — Strict Single-Identity Binding (avoid unless justified)
-
-**Pattern**: `logic_equal[context(Signer), identifier[N](fixed_address)]`
-
-- **Maximally secure**: only ONE address can pass
-- **Maximally inconvenient**: if that address is unavailable (key loss, personnel change, rotation), the Guard permanently blocks the operation — Guards are **immutable** after publish
-- **Use only when**: the role is permanently tied to one address AND the designer explicitly accepts the lock-in risk
-- **Risk rule**: `R-C4-04` (info) flags this pattern with a convenience reminder
-- **Example**: `logic_equal[context(Signer), identifier[5](myshop_merchant)]`
-
-> ⚠️ **Avoid Level 1 unless you understand the lock-in risk.** Prefer Level 2 (identity-set) or Level 3 (scene-combined) whenever possible.
-
-#### Level 2 — Identity-Set Binding (recommended for role-based access)
-
-**Pattern**: `logic_or` of multiple identity checks — Signer is ANY of a valid set.
-
-**Key semantic insight — Address vs Bool return types**:
-Guard queries that verify identity fall into two categories based on their return type, and this determines how they participate in a `logic_or`:
-
-| Return Type | Query Examples | Construction in `logic_or` |
-|-------------|---------------|---------------------------|
-| **Address** | `1562 order.owner`, `1002 permission.owner`, `1488 service.permission` | Must wrap each in `logic_equal[query, context(Signer)]` to produce a Bool |
-| **Bool** (suffix "has") | `1567 order.agent has`, `1004 permission.admin has`, `1006 permission.entity has` | Use **directly** as a `logic_or` child — they already return a verdict; pass `context(Signer)` as a parameter |
-
-**Example — Order-holder identity set** (Signer is owner OR agent):
-```json
-{
-  "type": "logic_or",
-  "nodes": [
-    {
-      "type": "logic_equal",
-      "nodes": [
-        {"type": "query", "query": 1562, "object": {"identifier": 0}, "parameters": []},
-        {"type": "context", "context": "Signer"}
-      ]
-    },
-    {
-      "type": "query",
-      "query": 1567,
-      "object": {"identifier": 0},
-      "parameters": [{"type": "context", "context": "Signer"}]
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-Here `1562` returns Address → wrapped in `logic_equal`; `1567` returns Bool → used directly with `context(Signer)` as its parameter.
-
-**Example — Service-provider identity set** (Signer is permission.owner OR has admin):
-
-Three sub-patterns with increasing flexibility:
-
-1. **Static permission address** (simplest, breaks if Service rotates permission):
-   Query `1002`/`1004` against a table-constant permission address. If the Service changes its permission (like a company changing its board), the Guard must be rebuilt.
+Three levels trade off **security** vs **convenience** when using `context(Signer)`:
 
-2. **Dynamic permission address** (survives rotation — **RECOMMENDED**):
-   The caller submits a permission address; the Guard verifies `query(1488: service.permission) == submitted_perm`, then checks `1002`/`1004` against the submitted permission. This survives permission rotation without rebuilding the Guard.
+**Level 1 — Single-Identity** (`logic_equal[context(Signer), identifier[N](fixed_address)]`): Only ONE address passes. ⚠️ Avoid — if address unavailable (key loss, rotation), Guard permanently blocks. Risk rule `R-C4-04` flags this.
 
-3. **Repository-based address set** (most flexible, most complex — **only for extreme flexibility needs**):
-   The permission address set is stored in a Repository and queried dynamically. This allows runtime configuration of the authorized set, but adds significant complexity.
+**Level 2 — Identity-Set** (recommended): `logic_or` of multiple identity checks. Key distinction:
+- **Address-returning queries** (`order.owner`, `permission.owner`, `service.permission`): wrap in `logic_equal[query, context(Signer)]`
+- **Bool-returning queries** (suffix "has": `order.agent has`, `permission.admin has`): use directly as `logic_or` child, pass `context(Signer)` as parameter
+- **Dynamic permission** (RECOMMENDED): caller submits permission address; Guard verifies `service.permission == submitted_perm` then checks `permission.owner`/`permission.admin has`. Survives permission rotation.
 
-> 💡 **`logic_or` wrapping of the Signer check suppresses R-C4-04** — this is the recommended Level 2 alternative to Level 1 strict binding.
+**Level 3 — Scene-Combined** (verify if Signer binding is even needed):
 
-#### Level 3 — Scene-Combined Constraint (verify whether Signer binding is even needed)
+| Scene | Signer needed? | Why |
+|-------|---------------|-----|
+| Allocators + `sharing.who=Entity` | NO | Funds to fixed recipient (R-C3-06 safe) |
+| Allocators + `sharing.who=Signer` | YES (Level 2) | Funds to caller — must bind |
+| Machine `forward` guard | MAYBE | `permissionIndex`/`namedOperator` may suffice |
+| `buy_guard` | Usually NO | Customer is caller; whitelist/credentials suffice |
+| `voting_guard` | NO | Weight from EntityRegistrar, not Signer (R-C3-02) |
 
-Before adding any Signer binding, evaluate the Guard's usage scene. **Many scenes do not need Signer binding at all** — the scene itself ensures safety through other mechanisms.
-
-| Scene | Is Signer binding needed? | Why |
-|-------|--------------------------|-----|
-| Service `order_allocators` + `sharing.who=Entity` | **NO** | Funds flow to a fixed Treasury/address regardless of caller — `sharing.who` already guarantees recipient safety (R-C3-06 safe) |
-| Service `order_allocators` + `sharing.who=Signer` | **YES (Level 2 dynamic)** | Funds flow to caller — must bind Signer to authorized recipient (e.g., `order.owner`) |
-| Machine `forward` guard | **MAYBE** | Forward's `permissionIndex`/`namedOperator` already verifies operator permission; Signer binding only needed if submitted data must belong to operator |
-| Service `buy_guard` | **Usually NO** | The customer is the caller; identity checks via whitelist/credentials suffice |
-| Reward `guard` | **Depends** | If claim is one-time (record count), no Signer binding needed; if claim amount is submitted, bind Signer |
-| Arbitration `voting_guard` | **NO** (weight from query, not Signer) | Weight must come from on-chain EntityRegistrar, not submission (R-C3-02) |
-
-**Decision flow**:
-1. Does the scene's host object already verify the operator? (e.g., Machine forward) → Signer binding may be redundant
-2. Does `sharing.who` route funds to a fixed recipient? → Signer binding unnecessary (R-C3-06 safe)
-3. Does the resource flow matter more than who triggers it? → Focus on flow safety, not caller identity
-4. Only if resources flow to the caller AND no other layer verifies identity → add Level 2 Signer binding
+**Decision**: If host object already verifies operator OR `sharing.who` routes to fixed recipient → no Signer binding needed. Only add Level 2 when resources flow to caller AND no other layer verifies identity.

-
-This returns the complete `GuardNodeSchema` definition — every node type, its required fields, input/output types, and validation rules. Node categories include:
-
-- **Data source nodes**: `identifier`, `context`, `query` — read values from the Guard table, transaction context, or on-chain objects
-- **Logic & Arithmetic nodes**: `logic_*`, `calc_number_*` — combine values into boolean decisions and compute numeric results
-- **String, Conversion & Vector nodes**: `calc_string_*`, `convert_*`, `vec_*` — manipulate strings, transform types, search arrays
-- **Record query nodes**: `query_reward_record_*`, `query_progress_history_*` — search on-chain historical data
-

 ## Phase 5: Test, Export, and Query
 
-### Test Independently with Gen Passport
-
-Before embedding a Guard into a live Machine, Service, or Arbitration, test it in isolation.
-
-**Tool**: `onchain_operations` with `operation_type: "gen_passport"`
-
-**Schema Reference**: `wowok({ tool: "schema_query", data: { action: "get", name: "onchain_operations_gen_passport" } })`
-
-This tool verifies one or more Guards and, on success, generates an immutable Passport — a verified credential stored on-chain. Use it to:
-
-- **Test edge cases**: What happens with empty submissions, boundary values, or unusual addresses?
-- **Debug failures**: If the Guard rejects valid data, the error helps identify type mismatches or missing table entries.
-
-The Passport itself is useful beyond testing — it serves as a reusable on-chain credential for offline verification, transaction condition checking, and multi-guard validation. A single Passport can satisfy multiple Guards in a single transaction.
-
-**Multi-Guard behavior**: When verifying multiple Guards, they are AND-ed — all must pass for the Passport to be generated. Each Guard's submission is passed independently.
-
-**Optional `info` field**: If you omit `info` (submission data), the system attempts to auto-fetch existing submissions from the Guard. Provide `info` explicitly when testing with custom inputs.
-
-**Passport query**: Once generated, query the Passport object via `query_toolkit` → `onchain_objects` to inspect its data, validated Guards, and timestamp.
-
-### Query On-Chain Guards
+**Test**: `gen_passport` verifies one or more Guards (AND-ed) and generates an immutable Passport on success. Omit `info` to auto-fetch submissions, or provide explicitly for custom test inputs.
 
-**Tool**: `query_toolkit` with `query_type: "onchain_objects"`
+**Query**: `query_toolkit` → `onchain_objects` for any Guard. Results include `_guard_node_comments` (human-readable annotations per node). Guards are public consensus — all parties can inspect validation rules.
 
-Guards are **public consensus**. Once bound to objects (Service, Machine, Arbitration), they become the trusted executor of rights and obligations. All parties can inspect the exact validation rules — this transparency is the foundation of trustless interaction. Query Guards before engaging with any protected operation.
-
-Query results include `_guard_node_comments` — human-readable annotations for each computation node automatically injected by the system. Use these to quickly verify that the Guard's logic matches the intended design without manually decoding the node tree.
-
-### Guard Iteration Workflow
-
-Guards are immutable but iterable. The full cycle:
-
-```
-1. guard2file <existing_guard> → JSON/Markdown file
-2. Edit file (table, root tree, rely)
-3. Review edited JSON with user → confirm
-4. wowok({ tool: "onchain_operations", data: { operation_type: "guard", root: { type: "file", ... } } }) → new Guard created
-5. Update all references (Machine forwards, Service buy_guard, Arbitration voting_guard, etc.)
-```
+**Iteration**: `guard2file` → edit JSON/MD → create new Guard via `root.type:"file"` → update all references.

 ## Guard Data Flow: How Objects Read Guard Data
 
-Guards are not just validators — they are **data sources**. When bound to objects, Guards provide structured data that the object reads and uses for decision-making. This section explains how different object types interact with Guard data.
-
-### Arbitration: Voting Weight from Guard
-
-Arbitration uses `usage_guard` for eligibility (pass/fail) and `voting_guard` for vote weight — either fixed or dynamically read from a Guard table submission index (`GuardIdentifier`). Table must have a numeric entry at the `GuardIdentifier` index; the value becomes the voter's weight (cast to u32).
-
-### Demand: ServiceGuard with Identifier Mapping
-
-Demand's `ServiceGuard` validates recommendations. If `service_identifier` is set, the Guard submission value at that index is passed to the service for validation; if unset, only Guard pass/fail is checked.
-
-### Machine: Forward Guard with Retained Submission
-
-Machine's forward `guard` validates state transitions. If `retained_submission` is set, those submission values are stored in Progress for audit or subsequent validation.
-
-### Repository: Policy Write Guard with Data Extraction
-
-Repository's `write_guard` validates writes. If `id_from_submission` is set, reads entity ID from that submission index — **the index must be Address type**. If `data_from_submission` is set, reads data value from that index — **the value type must match the Repository's declared value_type**. Guard table must include entries for the data being extracted.
-
-**Important — impack_list semantics in verify phase**: When a Guard queries Repository data (query 1167 `repository.data`) with a policy that has a `quote_guard` set, the verification checks whether the quote_guard address is in the `impack_list`. However, `impack_list` is **always empty during the `verify_guard` phase** — `Passport.new()` initializes `impack:vector[]` and the verify loop never modifies it; `impack` is only populated in `result_for_permission` (after verify completes). This means a Repository query with `quote_guard = Some(addr)` will always fail with `IMPACK_GUARD_NOT_FOUND` in the gen_passport flow; only `quote_guard = None` passes. Verify the quote_guard mechanism's design intent before relying on it.

 > The full constraint system has **33 rules: 22 creation-phase + 11 runtime-phase**. The 22 creation-phase constraints below are all enforced by SDK + native `validate_guard_data`; runtime constraints are enforced by native `verify_guard`.
 
-#### Creation-Phase Constraints (22 items, enforced by SDK + native `validate_guard_data`)
-
-**Root (1 item)**
-
-1. **ROOT_01 — Root must return Bool**: The outermost node of the tree must produce Bool. Logic and comparison nodes return Bool; arithmetic, conversion, and string operation nodes do not. Ensure your tree terminates at a logic or comparison node — the creation validation will reject non-Bool roots.
-
-**Table (5 items)**
-
-2. **TABLE_01 — Identifier uniqueness**: Every `identifier` in the table must be unique (0–255). Duplicate identifiers cause creation failure. SDK uses `lodash.groupBy` to detect duplicates.
-
-3. **TABLE_02 — Identifier referential integrity**: Every `identifier` node in the computation tree must match an entry in the table. Missing entries cause creation failure — validate your tree against your table before submitting.
-
-4. **TABLE_03 — Constant value non-empty**: When `b_submission=false`, the `value` field must be non-empty. These values are baked into the Guard immutably at creation time.
+#### Creation-Phase Constraints (22 rules, all enforced by SDK + `validate_guard_data`)
 
-5. **TABLE_04 — Table size limits**: Maximum 256 table entries (identifiers 0–255), and the total serialized table size must not exceed 40000 bytes (BCS). Enforced by Move `guard::new`.
-
-6. **TABLE_05 — Submission value is 1-byte type code**: When `b_submission=true`, the `value` field is only a 1-byte type code placeholder (the actual value is provided at runtime). Enforced by native `deserialize_constants`.
-
-**Query (4 items)**
-
-7. **QUERY_01 — Query instruction ID valid**: Query instruction IDs are system-defined. Always discover them through `wowok_buildin_info` with info `"guard instructions"`. Invalid IDs cause creation failure.
-
-8. **QUERY_02 — Parameter count matches**: The parameter count and types in your query node must match the instruction exactly — off-by-one parameter counts are a common failure.
-
-9. **QUERY_03 — Return type compatible**: The query node's return type must be compatible with the parent node's expected input. A `logic_equal` comparing a String to a U64 fails validation. Use explicit conversion nodes (`convert_string_number`, `convert_number_string`) when types differ. Numeric comparisons use `logic_as_u256_*` variants which auto-widen to U256.
-
-10. **QUERY_04 — Object identifier is Address type**: The table entry referenced by a query node's `object.identifier` must have `value_type: Address`. SDK `buildNode` validates this at L603-609.
-
-**Witness (3 items)**
-
-11. **WITNESS_01 — Witness type valid (100-108)**: The `convert_witness` value must be one of the 9 valid witness types (100-108). Invalid witness types cause creation failure.
-
-12. **WITNESS_02 — Witness target matches query objectType**: The witness's target object type must match the query instruction's expected object type. For example, `TypeOrderProgress` (100) derives a Progress, so the query must target a Progress object. SDK `buildNode` validates this at L613-619.
-
-13. **WITNESS_03 — Witness source matches table object_type**: If the table entry has an `object_type` declared (auto-filled by SDK), it must match the witness's source object type. For example, `TypeOrderProgress` (100) expects an Order source, so the table entry's `object_type` must be Order. SDK `buildNode` validates this at L622-631. **Missing convert_witness** is a related failure: when accessing Progress data from an Order ID, the query node needs `convert_witness` with the appropriate witness type. Without it, the runtime looks for a Progress at the Order's address — which does not exist as a Progress object.
-
-**Rely (3 items)**
-
-14. **RELY_01 — Dependency count ≤ 4**: A Guard can depend on at most 4 other Guards (`MAX_DEPENDED_COUNT`). SDK `reliesAdd` enforces this limit.
-
-15. **RELY_02 — Dependencies must have rep=true**: A Guard's `rely` entries must reference Guards with `rep: true` — meaning their `repository.data` queries do not depend on runtime submissions. Guards that depend on a Repository via submitted addresses (`rep: false`) cannot serve as dependencies. Move `guard::relies_add` catches violations at creation time.
-
-16. **RELY_03 — No self-reference**: A Guard cannot depend on itself. SDK `reliesAdd` prevents self-referential rely entries.
-
-**Binding (3 items)**
-
-17. **BINDING_01 — voting_guard GuardIdentifier must be numeric**: When using `GuardIdentifier` for Arbitration `voting_guard`, the referenced table entry must have a numeric `value_type` (U8–U256). The system checks this when the VotingGuard is added to the Arbitration — if the identifier does not exist or is non-numeric, the operation reverts with `E_GUARD_IDENTIFIER_NOT_NUMBER`.
-
-18. **BINDING_02 — Repository id_from_submission must be Address**: When a Repository `write_guard` uses `id_from_submission`, the referenced table entry must have `value_type: Address`. Move Repository enforces this at binding time.
-
-19. **BINDING_03 — Repository data_from_submission type must match**: When a Repository `write_guard` uses `data_from_submission`, the referenced table entry's `value_type` must match the Repository's declared `value_type`. Move Repository enforces this at binding time.
-
-**Input (2 items)**
-
-20. **INPUT_01 — Root bytecode non-empty**: The serialized root computation tree must not be empty. SDK `newGuard` validates this before submission.
-
-21. **INPUT_02 — Root bytecode size ≤ MAX_INPUT_SIZE**: The serialized root computation tree must not exceed `MAX_INPUT_SIZE`. SDK `newGuard` validates this before submission.
-
-**Immutable (1 item)**
-
-22. **IMMUTABLE_01 — Guard becomes immutable after creation**: Once `guard::create` is called, the Guard's `immutable` flag is set to `true` and no further modifications are possible. This is the foundation of the immutability contract — to change a Guard, export via `guard2file`, create a new Guard, and update all references.
+**Root**: Must return Bool (logic/comparison nodes only).
+**Table**: Unique identifiers (0–255), tree-to-table referential integrity, non-empty constants, max 256 entries / 40KB BCS, submission entries = 1-byte type code.
+**Query**: Discover valid IDs via `wowok_buildin_info` ("guard instructions"); parameter count/types must match; return type must be compatible with parent (use `convert_string_number`/`convert_number_string` for type mismatches; `logic_as_u256_*` for numeric comparisons); `object.identifier` must be Address type.
+**Witness**: 100–108 only; target type must match query's expected object; source type must match table's `object_type`. **Missing `convert_witness`** when accessing Progress from Order ID = runtime failure (looks for Progress at Order's address).
+**Rely**: Max 4; must have `rep:true`; no self-reference.
+**Binding**: `voting_guard` identifier must be numeric (U8–U256); Repository `id_from_submission` must be Address; `data_from_submission` type must match Repository's `value_type`.
+**Immutable**: Guard frozen after `guard::create` — to change, export via `guard2file` and create new.

-### Readability Conventions — Prefer String Names Over Numeric IDs
-
-> **Built-in MCP convention**: Whenever the schema accepts BOTH a numeric ID and a human-readable string name for the same field, **always prefer the string name** in examples, documentation, and AI-generated JSON. Numeric IDs are accepted for backward compatibility and compact machine output, but string names are the canonical form for any human-readable artifact.
-
-This convention is grounded in the user-experience principle: *"Wherever the interface supports it, optimize from the user's understanding as the starting point."* A reader who sees `"query": "order.service"` understands the intent immediately; `"query": 1563` requires an extra lookup against the `GUARDQUERY` registry.
-
-#### Fields Affected
+### Readability Convention — Prefer String Names
 
-| Field | String form (preferred) | Numeric form (avoid) | Source of truth |
-|-------|-------------------------|----------------------|-----------------|
-| `query` | `"order.service"` | `1563` | `GUARDQUERY` registry (375 entries, exported by `@wowok/wowok`) |
-| `value_type` | `"Address"`, `"U64"`, `"String"` | `1`, `6`, `2` | `ValueType` enum |
-| `context` | `"Signer"`, `"Clock"`, `"Guard"` | (numeric not accepted) | `Context` enum |
-| `convert_witness` | `"OrderProgress"`, `"OrderMachine"` | `100`, `101` | `WitnessType` enum (SDK `parseWitnessType` / `witnessTypeToString`) |
+**Always use string names** (not numeric IDs) for `query` (`"order.service"` not `1563`), `value_type` (`"Address"` not `1`), `convert_witness` (`"OrderProgress"` not `100`), and `context` (`"Signer"`). Matching is case-insensitive. SDK deserialization (`guard2file`/`query_objects`) returns all constants as strings. Discover valid query names via `wowok_buildin_info` with info `"guard instructions"`.
 
-#### Why String Names
-
-1. **Self-documenting JSON** — `"query": "order.service"` reads as intent; `1563` is opaque.
-2. **Stable across registry renumbering** — names are part of the public contract; numeric IDs are an implementation detail.
-3. **Case-insensitive matching** — `isValidGuardQueryName` lowercases both sides, so `"Order.Service"` and `"order.service"` are equivalent. Use the canonical lowercase form in examples.
-4. **Lint-friendly** — string names survive refactoring; numeric IDs silently rot when an ID is deprecated.
-
-#### Canonical Name Examples
-
-The most common queries used in allocator Guards (R-C3-05 / R-C3-06 protection):
-
-| Numeric ID | Canonical name | Returns | Typical use |
-|------------|----------------|---------|-------------|
-| `1253` | `progress.current` | String | Verify order is at a named node (with `convert_witness: 100`) |
-| `1563` | `order.service` | Address | Cross-service theft protection (R-C3-05) |
-| `1562` | `order.owner` | Address | Signer binding for refunds (R-C3-06 Level 2 dynamic) |
-| `1272` | `progress.current_time` | U64 | Time-lock comparisons |
-| `1488` | `service.permission` | Address | Verify Service's Permission object |
-| `1002` | `permission.owner` | Address | Signer == permission owner (Level 1 fixed) |
-| `1004` | `permission.admin has` | Bool | Caller is in admin set (Level 2 identity-set) |
-| `1567` | `order.agent has` | Bool | Verify caller is an order agent |
-
-#### WitnessType String Names
-
-The `convert_witness` field accepts both numeric IDs (100-108) and string names. String matching is case-insensitive and accepts both the full enum name (`"TypeOrderProgress"`) and the shortened form without the `"Type"` prefix (`"OrderProgress"`). The shortened form is preferred for readability.
-
-| Numeric ID | Shortened name (preferred) | Full enum name | Source → Target |
-|------------|----------------------------|----------------|-----------------|
-| `100` | `"OrderProgress"` | `"TypeOrderProgress"` | Order → Progress |
-| `101` | `"OrderMachine"` | `"TypeOrderMachine"` | Order → Machine |
-| `102` | `"OrderService"` | `"TypeOrderService"` | Order → Service |
-| `103` | `"ProgressMachine"` | `"TypeProgressMachine"` | Progress → Machine |
-| `104` | `"ArbOrder"` | `"TypeArbOrder"` | Arb → Order |
-| `105` | `"ArbArbitration"` | `"TypeArbArbitration"` | Arb → Arbitration |
-| `106` | `"ArbProgress"` | `"TypeArbProgress"` | Arb → Progress |
-| `107` | `"ArbMachine"` | `"TypeArbMachine"` | Arb → Machine |
-| `108` | `"ArbService"` | `"TypeArbService"` | Arb → Service |
-
-SDK functions: `parseWitnessType(input)` converts string→number; `witnessTypeToString(type)` converts number→string (returns the shortened form). The SDK's Guard deserialization (`parseQueryNode`) already returns `convert_witness` as a string name.
-
-#### Deserialization Output — All Protocol Constants Return Strings
-
-The SDK's Guard deserialization (`query_objects` / `guard2file`) returns ALL protocol constants as user-friendly strings, not numeric IDs:
-
-| Field | Returned as | Example | Conversion function |
-|-------|-------------|---------|---------------------|
-| `query` | String name | `"order.service"` | `GUARDQUERY` registry lookup |
-| `value_type` | String name | `"Address"`, `"U64"` | `valueTypeToString()` |
-| `convert_witness` | String name | `"OrderProgress"` | `witnessTypeToString()` |
-| `context` | String literal | `"Signer"`, `"Clock"`, `"Guard"` | Hardcoded string |
-| `object_type` | String name | `"Order"`, `"Service"` | `numberToObjectType` mapping |
-| `type` (node discriminator) | String literal | `"logic_and"`, `"query"` | Always string |
-
-This means `guard2file` JSON/Markdown output and `query_objects` results are fully self-documenting without requiring numeric ID lookups.
-
-#### Example — Before and After
-
-**Before (numeric, opaque):**
-```json
-{
-  "type": "logic_equal",
-  "nodes": [
-    {"type": "query", "query": 1563, "object": {"identifier": 0, "convert_witness": 100}, "parameters": []},
-    {"type": "identifier", "identifier": 2}
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-**After (string, self-documenting):**
-```json
-{
-  "type": "logic_equal",
-  "nodes": [
-    {"type": "query", "query": "order.service", "object": {"identifier": 0, "convert_witness": "OrderProgress"}, "parameters": []},
-    {"type": "identifier", "identifier": 2}
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Both forms are schema-valid and produce identical on-chain behavior; the string form is preferred for all human-readable output.
+Common allocator-guard queries: `order.service` (theft protection), `order.owner` (refund binding), `progress.current` (node check), `progress.current_time` (time-lock), `service.permission`, `permission.owner`, `permission.admin has` (identity-set).
