+**Trust verdicts are memoised (review 2026-10-21 04/P3).** `ScriptTrustValidator.FindViolations(code)` — the default-reference-set entry point every consumer above uses — caches its verdict process-wide by SHA-256 of the code (`TrustVerdictCache`: two generations of 1 024, cold-hit promotion, a throwing analysis is never stored; verdicts are returned as read-only collections and a hit returns the same instance). The verdict is a pure function of the code because the policy and `AnalysisReferences` are process-static. This removes the repeat full-framework semantic analysis the Transport importer used to pay on preview **and** again on apply (and on every wizard re-entry to preview) with no change at its call sites. A call that passes non-empty `extraReferences` (Central UI's run gate) bypasses the cache, since extra references can change resolution; the explicit-`baseReferences` overload is never cached.
+
The static enforcement is **defence-in-depth**, not a true runtime sandbox. The denied API list blocks disallowed APIs at compile time but does not establish an operating-system security boundary. Site-runtime consumers execute in-process. Central UI Test Run uses a bounded, killable worker process; that adds resource/lifetime containment, while the worker retains the same operating-system identity and permitted gateway access.
