0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / decision-prep. Poses the channel decision to the Owner; does not answer it. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Give the Owner one precise question whose answer is the channel decision.

2. Sources / evidence read

D6 final recommendation, D7–D13 cases/risks/proofs. Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

The channel is internal to B2 and replaceable; the decision is a real open Owner gate (GATE-4).

4. Evidence / analysis

Recommendation lean: agent-api for governance traceability if forced; host cron if simplicity/blast-radius is the priority.

5. Recommendation / matrix / result — the question

CH-Q1: Which channel do you authorize as the (replaceable) B2 producer channel for the Macro-4 staging readiness work — (a) agent-api executor, (b) host cron, or (c) neither yet (HOLD)? Default if unanswered: (c) HOLD. Sub-questions: CH-Q1a do you prioritize observability/auditability (→a) or simplicity/blast-radius (→b)? · CH-Q1b do you authorize a DRY_RUN-only staging exercise of the chosen channel? (still staging, still no prod write).

6. Owner-gated future work

Answering CH-Q1 is the channel decision; recording it + any wiring are Owner acts, forbidden now.

7. What remains unresolved

CH-Q1 unanswered; channel not selected.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm CH-Q1 is answerable from the package and carries a safe default.
