nx_legal_compliance.nx -- LEGAL RUNG D0: the document-type -> legal-regime -> validity-requirements engine. The s-class-exceed core that makes the whole document/e-sign track produce LEGALLY VALID instruments BY CONSTRUCTION. module: nishi-core.legal.compliance depends: (none -- pure classifier + regime table + validity machine) capability: LEGAL_COMPLIANCE THE PROBLEM a naive DocuSign-clone gets wrong: ESIGN (15 U.S.C. 7003(a)(1)) and UETA (Section 3(b)(1)) EXCLUDE wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts from electronic-signature coverage. A plain e-signature on a will is LEGALLY VOID. A few states (Utah among the first, via the Uniform Electronic Wills Act) permit electronic wills only under a STRICTER regime (testator's e-signature + >=2 witnesses in electronic presence + notarization to be self-proving). This engine routes every document to the correct regime and NEVER returns VALID for an instrument that would be legally void -- the legal analog of the Rule 26 never-brick / never-poison / never-ignite safety invariant: NEVER PRODUCE A LEGALLY VOID INSTRUMENT. Grounded facts (verified against the banked corpus, not assumed): UETA Section 2(8) : e-signature = symbol/process LOGICALLY ASSOCIATED with the record, executed WITH INTENT TO SIGN. UETA Section 5(b) : applies only where each party AGREED to transact electronically (consent). UETA Section 8 : record must be RETAINABLE by the recipient. UETA Section 9 : ATTRIBUTION via a security procedure. UETA Section 12 : retention must accurately reflect + remain accessible. UETA Section 3(b) / ESIGN 7003(a) : wills/codicils/testamentary trusts EXCLUDED. Uniform Electronic Wills Act : e-will needs testator e-sign + >=2 witnesses (electronic presence) + notarization (self-proving). NOTE: a LIVING (inter-vivos/revocable) trust and a LIVING WILL / advance directive are NOT testamentary -> they are e-signable under UETA. This distinction (testamentary vs inter-vivos) is the precision a generic e-sign product lacks. license_tier: ORIGINAL (statute is fact, not copyrightable; logic re-derived) lineage_id: nishi_legal_compliance_d0 nx_safety_envelope: intended_use: "Classify a document, select its legal e-signature regime,
