Closes #149 — PRD ledger/prd/namespace-independence-prd.md §6 issue 6 (§3.3; rulings 47 and 69; AC-47 second bullet).

Stacked on #159 (issue 5). Review the last commit alone, 406b17db.

What lands

A key is bound, closed and trusted in one namespace.

• Authority::of / as_of filter key bindings by namespace like every other record (the step 5 note on keys goes).
• key_close::same_key compares the namespace: a close ends the key in its own namespace only (LP-6.32), and refusal's three rules — another principal's key, a closed key, a key already open — look at the binding's namespace (LP-4.37).
• D7 (authority::filing) drops the store-wide branch: the genesis holder's first key in a namespace is that namespace's self-bound binding, once per namespace, under its own mandate (LP-4.12).
• The signing check drops carried_over; a first policy is judged by a key trusted in its own namespace (LP-4.31); the re-acceptance deadline runs from the key's earliest close there (LP-4.13); allowed_signers ends a line at a close in its own namespace (LP-4.32).
• Writer: init --namespace binds the configured key self-bound in every namespace it opens (carry_genesis_key and no_live_key go; --without-key stays until issue 13); identity add's self-bound test is per namespace; signing refuses a key not live in the namespace (ToSign.any_namespace goes).
• Two repository notices, never findings (verify::key_notices, in the text and the JSON report as key_split and key_shared): a key closed in one namespace and open in another; one key bound to two principals in two namespaces (ruling 69).

The writer's close in every namespace it holds is issue 8's and is not claimed here.

Tests

ledger-cli/tests/key_across_namespaces.rs, rewritten as §3.11 says (each failing before): bound in A then B, or B then A, a close in A leaves B open — the key still signs there, A's allowed_signers line ends and B's does not, the split is a notice, the key signs nothing in A, and a third namespace opens with the same key self-bound; a rotate in A leaves B's acceptances, review items and allowed_signers byte-identical (AC-47, second bullet); the four within-namespace tests of 2026-10-06 stand; and the carried test — no agent identity and no non-interactive session produces a key close.

Rewritten, and why:

• genesis_key.rs: init in a later namespace self-binds the holder's key there under the namespace's own mandate and signs the first policy with it; with every key closed elsewhere init binds the key again and verify notices the split; with no usable key, --without-key initialises unbound and the unbound-genesis notice names the namespace. The prompt assigned these rewrites to issue 8; they could not wait, since the cross-namespace lean they asserted is what this step removes.
• pre_policy_binding.rs and binding_accounting.rs: the holder's first key in the second namespace is now self-bound (under hand::found's mandate); the signed case signs the first policy with the key bound before it, as LP-4.31 now requires; opening a namespace over a binding filed in it before any policy is refused again, since the holder's own self-bound binding would no longer be the first there.
• trust.rs: init self-binds in the second namespace and a further key there is the holder's own add (was "once per store"); a hand-written self-bound binding beside init's fails, "first in the namespace". genesis_key.rs's forged-binding test reads the same wording.
• key_close_tests.rs: three unit tests assert the namespace reading.

Protocol

LP-4.12, LP-4.13, LP-4.31, LP-4.32, LP-4.37, LP-4.38 (the later-namespace paragraph goes), LP-4.39 (ruling 101's wording), LP-6.31 (keys note dropped), LP-6.32 (loses its mark), LP-8.31 (two notices, report shape); Appendix B row; Appendix C note "Keys are per namespace". CLAUDE.md updated. No class added; no digest moves (a binding's hashed fields are unchanged and namespace was among them); no committed store in this repository binds a key.

Checks

cargo build, cargo t, cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used, the quality scripts, and ledger verify --export on this repository (same output as on main).

CI, standing down on one step. The check job fails at the contract-surface gate (ddd diff-contracts <base>..HEAD): 14 undischarged exposed-surface changes, all this PR's — the new verify::key_notices module (KeySplit, KeyShared, split, shared) and the two Notices fields. Every other step of check passed.

The remedy the gate names is ddd bind claude/great-feynman-zcdsdd-step-05-authority..HEAD (with --verdict), which files seam declarations under .ddd/seams/. The session's instructions forbid me to edit .ddd/, and a declaration's verdict is the author's judgment, so I am not filing them. Please run ddd bind on this branch and push, or tell me to. Recorded in the close-out.

Closed unmerged under D1.24:`` the Rust tree left main in #166 (`53bd547`). This branch's work stays readable on its branch, which is kept, and the Rust ledger stays readable at `rust-final`. The ledger is Writ's authority graph now (definition chapter 8);``` `writ import` reads `.decisions/` once, at the tag. Disposition approved on #165.
