# Log-level policy
Per ADR-0012, this component's `error!` sites are categorized as:
## Bridge reconnect (xsd_bridge)
- **(e) outside-contract** (xsd_bridge.rs L385): re-seed schema failed after bridge reconnect
(transient recovery, NOT validation failure). Calls
`metrics().increment_errors(route_id, "e:validator:reconnect-reseed")` BEFORE the `error!`.
The metric is the operator signal; `error!` provides loud log visibility. Both stay.
