Macro-9A1 — Collections Usage Handbook — Execution Report

Mission: R2-B2-MACRO-9A1-COLLECTIONS-USAGE-HANDBOOK-2026-06-19 Type: Read-only collection/table inventory + operator handbook (follows Macro-9A0 DOT handbook; produced before Codex reviews dot-manage + collections-manage). Evidence date: 2026-06-19 · fresh query_pg READ ONLY + list_docker + AgentData KB read. 0 mutating calls to the substrate. Only KB writes = the 3 documents below. Method: read the 7 required governance files directly from the KB (main process), then ran fresh read-only metadata queries against DB directus (pg_class, information_schema, collection_registry, dot_config, pg_trigger, pg_database). The 382-object inventory + per-object Nhóm/Read-Write/Authority/Status were produced by a deterministic projection over pg_class + collection_registry.governance_role + name heuristics + runtime gates. Nothing was executed. The handbook was assembled and then read back from KB and verified byte-identical (90,865 chars, 382 rows, 19 sections).


STATUS

PASS_WITH_CAVEATS — the handbook is useful immediately and grounded in live read-only evidence. Incompleteness is bounded and disclosed:

  • C-1: per-object Read/Write/Authority/Status/Nhóm are inferred from registry columns + name family + runtime gates — nothing executed to confirm.
  • C-2: cutter_governance (24t) + sandbox_tac (8t) are READ-DENIED to the operator role (permission denied for schema) → their contents are unverified; classification is by name/metadata only. Directus-metadata visibility for these = PARTIAL.
  • C-3: 685 public views are summarized by family (§4), not row-listed (the §5 inventory is the 382 base tables/matview/foreign). ~20 qt001_* tables + 4 loose objects are marked needs-triage.
  • C-4: row counts are pg_class.reltuples planner estimates (e.g. dot_tools=288 est vs 309 registry SSOT); -1=never-analyzed, not empty.
  • C-5: other DBs (incomex_metadata, workflow, directus_gov_test_20260602, postgres) were not inventoried (substrate scope = directus).

Engineering PASS ≠ Owner authority PASS. This report and the handbook grant nothing, enact nothing, create no collection/table, select no channel/owner, and authorize no build. Default = HOLD.

The handbook was uploaded in one create + 5 anchored patch_document appends (sentinel pattern), then get_document_for_rewrite confirmed the KB copy equals the local deterministic build exactly (diff = 0). No collection/table/schema created in Directus or Postgres. No dot_operator_catalog / collection_operator_catalog created.

K=0 as a row-group because the dangerous surfaces are tables flagged inline (birth_registry = production-critical/Forbidden-direct; birth permits/ledgers = monitored) plus the 3 dangerous DOTs documented in §14 (which live in the DOT handbook, not as collections).


CRITICAL VERDICTS

Question Answer Evidence
Is Directus/Postgres/schema a DOT-only zone? Yes DOT handbook §3; runtime mutating gates all OFF (process_dot_runtime/iu_core); §3 of new handbook
Is manual SQL/psql a valid path? No — forbidden §3 / §14; inherited from DOT-only discipline
How many collections/tables exist, and where? 382 base objects in 4 schemas of DB directus (+685 public views) pg_class enumeration (§4/§5)
Which are production-critical / do-not-touch? 57 (RBAC, governance SSOTs, big live tables) §7; birth_registry 1.19M, directus_revisions 578 MB, etc.
Are collection/schema changes only via DOT? Yes stated per row + §3 + §13 (functions/triggers deployed by DOT, not hand-CREATEd)
Can the operator read every schema? No cutter_governance + sandbox_tacpermission denied for schema (PARTIAL)

STAGING / WORKBENCH VERDICT

Question Answer Evidence
Does a run-scoped, disposable, delete-fast R2-B2 workbench collection/table/schema exist? 🟥 NO §8/§16; no public %staging% table; sandbox_tac is persistent+read-denied; iu_core staging = IU content (gate OFF)
Is sandbox_tac a usable workbench? No persistent (not run-scoped/disposable), read-denied, owner-unknown; fails Macro-8 SB-4
Are iu_core.iu_staging_* Postgres-DDL staging? No IU content staging (15 records); iu_core.operator_runtime_enabled=false
Is there an owner of record for a workbench? No governance_object_ownership = 0 rows
What is missing? One authorized run-scoped staging-schema DOT (Macro-9B) + an owner row §16; matches DOT handbook §15

FORBIDDEN PATHS CONFIRMED

Path Status Evidence
Manual psql / docker exec -i postgres psql on directus FORBIDDEN §3 / §14 (DOT-only zone)
Hand-written DDL/DML; SQL staged for human run FORBIDDEN §3
Directus generic collection/table create for schema FORBIDDEN §3 / §14
dot-birth-trigger-setup / dot-birth-backfill FROZEN §14 (from DOT handbook §13)
dot-schema-birth-registry-ensure MONITORED §14
Direct write to birth_registry / RBAC tables FORBIDDEN / gateway §14
Secrets/tokens/credentials in KB NOT WRITTEN none present in any of the 3 docs

MACRO-9B IMPLICATIONS

  • Do NOT build a workbench on existing collections. No existing collection/table/schema is a run-scoped, disposable, prod-untouched, delete-fast store; the closest (sandbox_tac) fails every SB-4 property and is read-denied/owner-unknown.
  • Macro-9B precondition (recommended): author/harden one run-scoped staging-schema DOT — staging-only, allowlist-guarded (CREATE SCHEMA/DROP SCHEMA … CASCADE on a run-scoped name only), reject prod public, abort-on-drift, delete-fast — Owner-authorized, runtime gate opened explicitly. This is the same precondition the DOT handbook §15 names.
  • Owner gap: governance_object_ownership is empty; the "R2-B2 Staging Workbench Owner" role (Macro-8 P3) is granted on paper but not yet a row.
  • Future registry: §17 collection_operator_catalog stays a candidate-on-paper until the authorized DOT schema path exists; it must be created only through an authorized DOT, never by hand.
  • Until those exist: schema/workbench build = NO-GO (Default HOLD preserved).
