  * ## [ADR-0131 D2/D8] Deployment-wide is a typed marker, never a NULL

- * The rule class these cases used to pin beside the org-stamped one was the
- * "platform-global" `organization_id = null` row (#7795), swept unscoped.

+ * A declared rule is deployment-wide by nature (D2) and carries a typed
+ * marker on its `single` projection (`deploymentWide`); under a wall it is
  * served once per organization, each projection inside that organization's
  * one predicate (D8). A STORED row with no organization, in a deployment that
  * has organizations, is invalid state (certification leaves none): it sweeps
  * nothing and grants nothing, said once, loudly. Only a composition with no
  * organization object at all (a lean embedding) has no organization to scope
  * by, and there every rule is the deployment's.

- * The NULL-org RECORD is here for the third direction. [ADR-0131 D1, D14]
- * NULL is not an owner: `applyTenantScope` emits `field = ?` alone, since 18.x
- * retired the v17 `OR field IS NULL` arm after the upgrade ceremony, so an
- * org-stamped sweep routed through the chokepoint does NOT reach `deal_p1`,

- * that kept its own copy of the retired arm would grant it.

- *
- * It used to be justified as the platform bucket: a NULL organization marked a
- * platform row that had to stay visible to every tenant (#2734, ADR-0120 D3).
- * The ruling on #10103 superseded that reading (a row belonging to no
- * organization is INVALID STATE, never a platform-wide default) and kept the
- * arm as a driver-level compatibility note; ADR-0131 D14 retired the note with
- * the ceremony that removes the rows it served. `deal_p1` stays as the record
- * no organization's sweep reaches: a certified database holds no such row, so
- * this is the shape a stray one would take, not a population a tenant relies on.
+ * [ADR-0131 D1] NULL is not an owner: the driver's tenant predicate is
+ * `field = ?` alone, so no sweep scoped to an organization reaches `deal_p1`,
+ * and a sweep that kept a copy of its own wider predicate would grant it. Only
+ * the deployment-wide sweep, which carries no tenant, reaches it, and stamps
+ * nothing on its grant. A certified database holds no such record: this is
+ * the shape a stray one would take, not a population a tenant relies on.
