The BOM's **version column and component set are gated**: `TestCommittedBOMVersionsMatchRegistry` (run by `make test` → `make qualify`, and by the `bom-freshness` merge-gate job on docs-only PRs) fails CI when a pinned version or the component set drifts from the registry, so a version change that forgets `make bom-docs` is caught. Not gated at PR time is *rendered-image drift* — an unbumped pin picking up a new image inside a chart's templates; `make bom-check` (a full re-render comparison) is its **opt-in** blocking check and is not wired into `make qualify`, `make lint`, or the merge gate, while the scheduled BOM-refresh workflow (`.github/workflows/bom-refresh.yaml`) auto-detects that drift weekly and opens a PR.

Nothing claimed the upgrade was safe, because nothing asked.

Two rules in `pkg/upgrade` make the obligation self-renewing rather than
something you can defer:

- A record's `to` ceiling **may not reach past the currently pinned version**.
An author cannot have read the migration notes for a version nobody has
released, so a record can only ever describe ground already covered. Every pin
bump therefore lands outside the existing record and forces you back into it.

Tie the safe ceiling rationale to AICR's pin.

A version above AICR's pin may already be released upstream. The rule prevents safe records from vouching for versions that AICR does not currently ship.

Replace the sentence at both cited locations with wording that states this AICR-specific scope.

- **`manual` and `blocked` may reach past the pin.** They are warnings carrying
instructions, so reaching forward over-warns rather than passing something
unassessed — and holding them to the pin forced the wrong order of work. The
order that qualifies an upgrade is: read the migration notes, write the
record, *then* bump. A component deliberately held below a known-breaking
release is the case that proves it, since the record most worth having is the
one describing the release you are not shipping yet.
- The `from` domains **may not leave a hole** below the pin. An operator sitting
on a version in the hole would match no transition at all.
on a version in the hole would match no transition at all. This is the rule
that makes the obligation self-renewing: a bump that leaves a hole below the
new pin fails, whatever any record's ceiling says.

That is not a limitation to route around. It is the match-time form of the rule
that already stops you writing a ceiling above the current pin: you cannot have
read the migration notes for a release nobody has cut. A ceiling is your claim
about how far forward you actually looked, so put it where you looked, and widen
it deliberately later rather than reaching for headroom now.
That is not a limitation to route around. A ceiling is your claim about how far
forward you actually looked, so put it where you looked, and widen it
deliberately later rather than reaching for headroom now.

Note what the ceiling is *not* pinned to. Authoring-time rule 2 holds only a
`safe` ceiling at or below the current pin; a `manual` or `blocked` ceiling may
sit above it. So the two ends of a held component work like this: the ceiling
says how far you read, and the pin says how far AICR ships. When AICR
deliberately stays below a breaking release, those diverge, and the record that
describes the release you are *not* shipping is exactly the one an operator
needs. Put the ceiling at the boundary you assessed and let a target above it
land on `beyond-record-ceiling`, which is what turns "this jump has to be taken
on its own" into something the tool says rather than something prose asks for.
