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
PASSon 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_REQUIREDand 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.
