# GAL-2 Time Contract RC3.1 Claim Boundary

Approved claim:

GAL-2 Time Contract is a local application-facing temporal circuit breaker.

Approved framing:

Your timing stack delivers time. GAL-2 tells your applications whether that time is safe to use.

GAL-2 Time Contract may expose:

- mode
- health
- reason
- safe_to_consume
- valid_until
- monotonic_sequence
- local receive and serve timestamps
- API latency
- cache age
- quota status
- source lineage

GAL-2 Time Contract does not claim to replace:

- UTC
- GNSS
- PTP
- NTP
- chrony
- TAP
- atomic clocks
- timing receivers
- civil time
- legal time
- metrology-grade references

GAL-2 Time Contract RC3.1 does not claim:

- nanosecond accuracy
- microsecond accuracy
- UTC traceability
- atomic clock equivalence
- certified metrology performance
- certified financial compliance
- certified safety-critical readiness
- guaranteed prevention of all time-related failures
- production critical infrastructure readiness

This evaluator release demonstrates local application-facing temporal governance behavior under explicit policy semantics. It does not establish formal metrology validation.
