Macro-2 Channel Proof-Gap Closure — R2-B2
Date: 2026-06-19 · Workstream: R2-B2-MACRO-2-OWNER-DECISION-PREREQ-CLOSURE-READINESS-2026-06-19 (Deliverable 10 of 45) · Editorial revision: rev1
Class: channel proof-gap status / decision-support · READ-ONLY · NON-ENACTING · NON-AUTHORIZING · RECOMMENDATION_ONLY — NOT AUTHORITY · NO channel selected · NO write performed.
Metadata convention. Editorial revision (rev1) only. AgentData storage revision/
content_lengthauthoritative at read time; not pinned here.
Proof-gap lock. States, per channel, which proof obligation is read-only-met (FRESH) vs write-gated/OOB remaining. It proves nothing further, installs nothing, selects nothing.
0. Status and non-authorization
STATUS: PASS — engineering / decision-support. A per-channel proof-gap status mapping the channel proof obligations to their fresh read-only status, so an Owner channel decision is not blocked on obligations that can only be met after a build.
Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default disposition: HOLD. No channel selected/wired/installed/promoted; no DB write/DDL/DML; no TD; no blocker resolved; v0.1 not overwritten; v0.2 not authority.
Evidence basis — FRESH_READONLY_EVIDENCE (2026-06-19) + WG/OOB for the rest. Reading discipline: main process, no reader-agents.
1. Purpose
Answer macro question 5 — what is needed to close the channel proof gap — by stating how much of each channel's obligation is now read-only-met vs still write-gated/OOB.
2. Sources / evidence read
The 30-file channel liveness proof-gap matrix; the Mega-Gate channel proof obligations; Deliverables 6–9; the fresh RQ-ledger. Read directly, main process.
3. Accepted baseline (carried)
Provability classes: R/O read-only-provable · OOB out-of-band · WG write-gated. Shared write-gated floor: per-run S7 evidence incl. channel id; producer idempotency.
4. Channel proof-gap status (FRESH 2026-06-19)
| Channel | First obligation | Read-only status (fresh) | Remaining (closes only after a build) | Class |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| host cron | birth entry in snapshot | MET — 54/0-birth (RQ-14) → "unwired" proven | producer runs; idempotency; per-run S7 | WG |
| agent-api | birth contract row + persisted switch readable | MET — 2 KG-EXPLAIN, 0 birth-bound; switches OFF (RQ-16/13) | transient switch confirm; per-DOT bind; dispatch run; no-lane-coupling proof | OOB + WG |
| pg_cron | pg_extension shows pg_cron |
MET (negative) — absent (RQ-4) | install; cron.job; per-run S7; removal |
DEC + WG |
| job_queue | live heartbeat readable | MET — substrate OFF; outbox 215,607 undrained (RQ-8/13) | enable; prove draining; undrained-queue guard | WG |
| manual one-shot | n/a (rejected) | n/a | — | rejected |
Reading. The two candidates' read-only first obligations are FRESH-met; the write-gated/OOB obligations (producer firing, dispatch, draining, install, transient-switch confirm) close only after selection, behind their own gates. This is exactly the evidence an Owner channel selection needs — validated read-only. No channel is selected.
5. Result (what closes the proof gap)
- Read-only-closeable (done): each candidate's first obligation.
- Write-gated remaining: every "did it run/drain/install" obligation + the shared S7-channel-id + idempotency floor.
- OOB remaining: agent-api transient master-switch.
- The proof gap cannot be fully closed read-only — the rest needs a build behind the Owner's channel decision.
OWNER_DECISION_REQUIRED.
6. Owner-gated future work
| Future work | Gate | Forbidden now? |
|---|---|---|
| Meet any write-gated obligation (run/drain/install) | Điều 32 + build | Yes |
| Confirm agent-api transient switch (OOB) | Owner out-of-band | Yes (not done here) |
| Select a channel | Owner decision | Yes |
7. What remains unresolved
- Every channel's write-gated obligations unmet (no producer/build).
- agent-api transient switch OOB.
- Blockers — all OPEN.
8. Ready for GPT/Codex review
Yes — as a proof-gap status.
Core rule: candidates' read-only first obligations FRESH-met; the rest is write-gated/OOB after selection; no channel selected as authority.
Default disposition: HOLD. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. All blockers remain OPEN.
