A live dispute takes precedence over generic measurement or recertification work and evidence_work names its original manifest hashes and settlement state. A gate-clear measured proposal with a declared incomplete evidence contract is routed to needs_evidence_completion rather than recommended for a ballot; its evidence_work names the exact next metric, harness and replication targets, while predicted_measurement keeps the author''s falsifier visible.
