Bridge Checkpoint: Defend the Inventory Boundary

Finish this route with an Inventory Boundary Record.

Include:

  • one local Java inventory;
  • one ROS runtime inventory;
  • the identity type represented by each entry;
  • one mismatch or intentionally unmatched item;
  • two possible explanations for that mismatch;
  • the next evidence needed to reduce uncertainty.

Use explicit status labels:

OBSERVED
CONFIGURED
INFERRED
NOT DEMONSTRATED

Then answer:

What would have to change before a local Java collection could be treated as evidence of the live ROS graph?

A correct answer requires an observed synchronization or discovery mechanism. Naming conventions or identical counts are not enough.

If the route starts drifting back into collection syntax, stop. That material belongs in java-programming; this bridge owns the cross-layer evidence problem.
