Inverted ordering is rejected by automated audit. This closes a class of issues where the site could appear to invert its own Invariant 1 to a casual reader. https://framework.ieset.org/updates/#2026-07-18-estimator-fallback-census https://framework.ieset.org/updates/#2026-07-18-estimator-fallback-census 2026-07-18 **Date:** 2026-07-18 (retrospective entry) **Type:** quality audit **Status:** accepted internal audit A substantial share of result cards record primary estimator failure (e.g. rank deficiency) with fallback OLS, or report "effect magnitude effectively zero." These must not be treated as clean directional confirmations. Follow-up: CI estimator floor rejects directional SUPPORTED/PARTIAL when the primary estimator fails to converge or the reported effect is machine-epsilon. https://framework.ieset.org/updates/#2026-07-18-canonical-basket-gate https://framework.ieset.org/updates/#2026-07-18-canonical-basket-gate 2026-07-18 **Date:** 2026-07-18 (retrospective entry) **Type:** methodology / integrity **Status:** accepted internal audit Social-outcome hypotheses that selected favourable indicator subsets without enumerating the canonical literature basket are capped at `supported_subset` rather than full `SUPPORTED`. Costa Rica wellbeing is the flagship example: adding the safety leg (homicide) reverses a prior positive reading. This entry seeds the public review log with an integrity incident already documente
