Kimi v1.15.8 — E0-022 Japan AI Election Content Labeling (17th CORRECT)

Sealed version bump: Japan enacted binding AI-generated election-content labeling rules (Diet Jul 13–14). Kimi’s 17th provisional CORRECT — South Korea Jul 21 enforcement onset explicitly NOT counted.

What shipped: Kimi K3 advanced to v1.15.8 with sealed provisional CORRECT on E0-022 — the 17th CORRECT verdict.

What counts: Japan enacted revisions to two laws (Diet passage reported Jul 13–14, 2026) mandating labels on AI-generated election content and tightening platform duties against AI deepfakes/online libel ahead of next year’s local elections. Sources cited in-repo include nippon.com, Asahi, Japan News/Yomiuri, Straits Times, TheCable, News International.

What does NOT count (logged near-miss): South Korea Jul 21 “labeling begins in earnest” = enforcement onset of 2025 rules, not new H2 binding rules — advance note 566997e keeps that path rejected. May 28 Japan plan-only also insufficient; H2 enactment governs.

Investigative boundary: Public sealed files over chat announce. Verdict hierarchy: SEAL.sha256 + claims_registry.json version + verdicts.json CORRECT string > NEWSLOG > chat. Distinct from 674 E0-014 capex and 617 E0-011 agents.
