Ballot lock. This packet prepares the Owner's next decision as a ballot. It does not make the decision, selects no channel, assigns no owner, adopts no source, opens no TD. The recommendation is
RECOMMENDATION_ONLY — NOT AUTHORITY — OWNER_GATE_REQUIRED.OWNER_DECISION_REQUIRED.
0. Status and non-authorization
STATUS: PASS — engineering / decision-prep. A single Owner ballot for the next-path decision, with options, dispositions, and a recommendation-only result. It decides nothing.
Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default disposition: HOLD. No DB write/DDL/DML; no runtime mutation; no channel selected; no owner assigned; no source adopted; no gate flipped; no TD; no blocker resolved; v0.1-stable/FIX7 V3 not overwritten; v0.2-hardening not authority.
Evidence basis — FRESH_READONLY_EVIDENCE (2026-06-19 RQ-ledger) + INHERITED_KB_EVIDENCE (accepted 30-file evidence macro + Mega-Gate chain). Reading discipline: main process, bounded/sequential, no reader-agents/sub-agents.
1. Purpose
Answer macro question 1 — what exact decision must the Owner make next? — as a ballot the Owner can act on, without making it for them.
The one rule: the next-path decision is the Owner's; this ballot states the options and recommends one. Nothing follows automatically.
2. Sources / evidence read
The accepted 30-file evidence macro (final recommendation, no-go path selection, owner brief, gate delta, waiver map); the Mega-Gate Owner Decision Options (A–G) + Next-3 roadmap; the fresh 2026-06-19 RQ-ledger (Deliverable 45 §3). Read directly, main process.
3. Accepted baseline (carried)
Aggregate B2 TD is NO-GO (G-1 Go; G-2/G-7/G-8/G-10 PARTIAL_READONLY_VERIFIED; G-3/G-4/G-5/G-6/G-9/G-11 not read-only-closeable). The accepted recommendation (final path packet; Mega-Gate Option E/F→B+D+S2→C; reject G) is to open Macro-2 = the Owner-decision/OOB prerequisites (channel + Đ0-G + S2 owner) as separate deliverables; the read-only re-verification (Path 1 / Macro-1) is done.
4. Evidence / analysis
- Substrate fail-closed (FRESH 2026-06-19): no pg_cron (RQ-4);
process_dot_runtime.execute_enabled/real_run_enabled=false,dry_run_only=true,queue.worker.enabled/job_substrate.enabled=false(RQ-13); host cron 54/0-birth (RQ-14); agent-api 2 KG-EXPLAIN contracts, 0 birth-bound (RQ-16); executor Up 2 weeks healthy :8090, no birth-inspection service (RQ-17). → channel selection (G-4) is the single largest TD-readiness unlock and is the Owner's act. - S2 owner unassigned (FRESH 2026-06-19):
governance_object_ownership = 0(RQ-15) — now fresh-confirmed (was inherited). → G-5 isNO_GO_OWNER_DECISION. - Đ0-G still a source-authority gap: working architecture source, broken Constitution ref, STAMP/GATE Phase-B never built. → G-3 is
NO_GO_SOURCE_AUTHORITY. - B3/B4 read-only verified (FRESH): 3
inspect_*columns; onlyfn_birth_auto_certifynames them (consumer);trg_birth_auto_certifyenabled; 171 birth triggers all enabled, 0 inspect-named producer (RQ-1/10/11/12). The producer gap is real and live (1,211,687 uncertified, 0 stamped, last born today). - → The three Owner-decision/OOB prerequisites (channel, Đ0-G, S2) are exactly what stands between today's NO-GO and an eventual actual-B2-TD entry gate. GATE-4 (channel) and GATE-5 (owner) are non-waivable.
5. Decision question / options / result
QUESTION 1 — Choose the next path. OWNER_DECISION_REQUIRED.
| Option | What it is | Disposition | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Channel decision first (Path 2) | viable, but partial | Closes G-4 selection only; leaves G-3/G-5 open — incomplete on its own |
| B | S2 owner assignment first (Path 4) | viable, but partial | Closes G-5 only; leaves G-3/G-4 open |
| C | Đ0-G source authority first (Path 3) | viable, but partial; OOB | Closes/narrows G-3 only; recovery is out-of-band and may take time |
| D | Bundle A+B+C as one Owner-decision package | RECOMMENDED | Closes the three Owner-decision/OOB prerequisites together as separate, non-coupled deliverables; matches the accepted Macro-2 plan; no coupling introduced |
| E | Proceed to actual B2 TD now (Path 6) | REJECT unless Owner explicitly waives non-waivable risk (normally impossible) | Aggregate NO-GO; GATE-4 (channel) + GATE-5 (owner) are non-waivable and open; designing against unfrozen inputs |
| F | Expand B5/B7 now (Path 7) | REJECT | B5_B7_SCOPE_CREEP; B5/B7 are dependencies only |
Result (RECOMMENDATION_ONLY — NOT AUTHORITY — OWNER_GATE_REQUIRED): Option D — bundle the channel decision, the Đ0-G source-authority decision, and the S2 owner assignment as a single Owner-decision package delivered as separate control surfaces (each independently reviewable/replaceable/discardable). Reject E (non-waivable gates open) and F (scope creep). The Owner chooses; this ballot selects nothing and decides nothing.
6. Owner-gated future work
| Future work | Gate | Forbidden now? |
|---|---|---|
| Open any path (A–D) | Owner authorization | Yes |
| Take any of the three decisions (channel/Đ0-G/S2) | Owner decision / external S6 | Yes |
| Open actual B2 TD (E) | Owner decision after entry gate Go (rejected now) | Yes |
7. What remains unresolved
- No path chosen here (by design). Aggregate NO-GO holds.
- E stays rejected until GATE-3 (waived with caveat) + GATE-4/5/6 closed + hard floor intact.
- Blockers — all OPEN (CONS-002/003, CELL-003/004/007, HOLD-1, HOLD-2, RISK-BYPASS, GOV-016/017, GOV-REUSE-001, Điều 39 runtime-EMPTY [FRESH 2199/0-prov], Điều 35 prod-FAIL).
8. Ready for GPT/Codex review
Yes — as an Owner next-path ballot.
Core rule: the ballot presents Options A–F; the recommendation is D (bundle channel + Đ0-G + S2 as separate deliverables); E and F rejected; no decision made, no channel selected, no owner assigned, no source adopted; aggregate B2 TD NO-GO.
Default disposition: HOLD. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. All blockers remain OPEN.
