TR-CORE-MASS / Mass floor and signed mass change
IF
A mass, mass delta or sub-floor R2 claim is supplied.
HOW
Keep nonnegative mass separate from signed mass delta, and apply the source profile's 23 mg floor and
challenge-receipt obligations where that profile defines them.
THEN
Reject negative mass while preserving valid signed deltas; a scalar 23 mg reference does not complete F-004.
CURRENT EVIDENCE
Fresh related language/paper/water checks are in the evidence ledger. The test count is suite evidence, not
proof of every branch in this requirement.
REMAINING REQUIREMENT
Use the source and recorded case evidence to close remaining per-branch, native-host and full-contract coverage gaps.
