# Sprint 125 - Policy & Reasoning

> **BLOCKED Tasks:** Before working on BLOCKED tasks, review [BLOCKED_DEPENDENCY_TREE.md](./BLOCKED_DEPENDENCY_TREE.md) for root blockers and dependencies.

_Last updated: November 8, 2025. Implementation order is DOING → TODO → BLOCKED._

Focus areas below were split out of the previous combined sprint; execute sections in order unless noted.

## Policy.III
Dependency: Sprint 120.C - Policy.II (must land before this track).

## Notes & Risks (2025-11-18)
- POLICY-ENGINE-29-002 contract/schema is missing; this blocks 29-003 path/scope awareness and cascades through all downstream tasks in this sprint. Unblock by publishing 29-002 artifacts (schema + sample payloads).
- PREP-POLICY-AIRGAP-56-001 mirror bundle schema draft at `docs/modules/policy/design/policy-mirror-bundle-schema.md`; DSSE/trust-root/retention decisions still pending from Platform/Authority.
 - PREP-POLICY-ENGINE-30-001 overlay projection draft at `docs/modules/policy/design/policy-overlay-projection.md`; metrics/log schema awaited from 29-004.
