Macro-2 Owner Non-Decision / Default HOLD — R2-B2

Date: 2026-06-19 · Workstream: R2-B2-MACRO-2-OWNER-DECISION-PREREQ-CLOSURE-READINESS-2026-06-19 (Deliverable 5 of 45) · Editorial revision: rev1 Class: non-decision / default-HOLD assertion · READ-ONLY · NON-ENACTING · NON-AUTHORIZING · NO decision made · NO write performed.

Metadata convention. Editorial revision (rev1) only. AgentData storage revision/content_length authoritative at read time; not pinned here.

Non-decision lock. This packet exists to make explicit that this macro prepares Owner decisions and makes none. Every ballot is OWNER_DECISION_REQUIRED; the standing posture is Default HOLD.


0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / decision-prep. A single explicit statement of the non-decision boundary and the default-HOLD posture. It decides nothing.

Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default disposition: HOLD. No decision; no channel selected; no owner assigned; no source adopted; no gate flipped; no DB write/DDL/DML; no TD; no blocker resolved; v0.1 not overwritten; v0.2 not authority.

Evidence basis — design synthesis of Deliverables 1–4. Reading discipline: main process, no reader-agents.


1. Purpose

Prevent any reader from mistaking a prepared ballot for a taken decision. State the non-decision boundary in one place.


2. Sources / evidence read

Deliverables 1–4 (ballot/register/risk/recommendation); the macro Owner-decision lock (prompt §"Owner decision lock"). Read directly, main process.


3. Accepted baseline (carried)

The chain's standing rule: Engineering/Codex PASS ≠ Owner authorization; Default HOLD. This macro continues it.


4. What "no decision" means here

  • The macro may recommend (Option D) but may not authorize.
  • The macro may prepare channel/S2/Đ0-G ballots but may not select a channel, assign an owner, or adopt a source.
  • A PASS on any deliverable certifies that the ballot/analysis is complete and fail-closed on paper — never that the Owner has acted.
  • Where the next step needs Owner judgment, the deliverable writes OWNER_DECISION_REQUIRED and lists the question, options, risk, and default HOLD — and stops.

5. Default-HOLD register

Decision surface Prepared by Decision taken? Posture
Next path (Q1) Deliverable 1 No HOLD (REC: D)
Channel selection (Q3) Deliverables 6–12 No HOLD (no channel selected)
S2 owner (Q4) Deliverables 13–18 No HOLD (no owner assigned)
Đ0-G source (Q5) Deliverables 19–24 No HOLD (no source adopted)
Actual B2 TD Deliverables 25–29 No HOLD (NO-GO)
Macro-3 / staging Deliverables 30–31, 36–37 No HOLD (not opened)

All OWNER_DECISION_REQUIRED; none answered.


6. Owner-gated future work

Every decision above is the Owner's; this macro takes none.


7. What remains unresolved

  • All decisions remain the Owner's.
  • Blockers — all OPEN.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — as the non-decision / default-HOLD assertion.

Core rule: the macro recommends and prepares; it decides nothing; Default HOLD on every surface.

Default disposition: HOLD. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. All blockers remain OPEN.
