+Two smaller, lower-risk items flagged in the same pass:
+- **CLOSED 2026-09-02 — pin-authority choke point (H.2).** Session.pinned is authoritative
+  over Stadium's `STADIUM_FLAG_PIN` bit. Decided: **full choke point at the session level,
+  both directions** — both writing and reading pin state go exclusively through session-owned
+  functions (e.g. `session_set_pinned()` / `session_is_pinned()`); nothing, including existing
+  Stadium code, reads `STADIUM_FLAG_PIN` directly off the patron header anymore. Session is
+  the sole authority for both write and read, not just the write path.
 - **Elevation trigger not yet usable (H.5/H.7).** Rides Hermes messaging, which per this
   document's own standing completion criterion (D.1) isn't the real implementation yet.
   Correct on paper, not usable until that substrate exists — expected, not a flaw.
