Scope and limitsThe card reports a loss-of-control evaluation of the model's capability for stealth (circumventing basic oversight) and situational awareness, with the stated conclusion that the TCL cannot be ruled out. It reports no propensity evaluation (deception, scheming, sabotage) in the card itself; challenge results are not recorded. What the card states, quoted from the expression read. A card is the developer’s own account: not evidence that an evaluation was run as described, that a safeguard works, or that a finding is independent.

Status and meaning

Editorial status. Machine-checked. Machines found this record and checked it against its sources; no person accepted it individually. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. An exact framework edition, or another document with an exact expression, states one provision: a capability threshold or risk level and its trigger, a required safeguard or action, a decision authority (who decides, recommends, can overrule or is informed), a stated exception, or another statement of its content, such as a licence term or a prospectus statement. The passage records what the document says, not implementation, compliance or effectiveness. Provisions with the same key align across editions of one family.

Date. Dated as the card read is dated: its printed date, as the source records it.
