0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / decision-prep. Plans Macro-4 conditional on Owner approval; authorizes nothing. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Answer macro question 6 — what should Macro-4 do next? — as a conditional branch plan.

2. Sources / evidence read

Macro-2 next-macro3 scope plan, B2 actual-TD entry after owner decisions; this package D32–D34. Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

Macro-4 is gated on the three Owner decisions; even then it does not implement without separate write-authorization.

4. Evidence / analysis — branch map

Branch	Condition	Macro-4 next action
B-A all three approved	channel + S2 model + Đ0-G path all chosen	prepare staging build readiness + actual-B2-TD entry gate (design-only)
B-B partial approval	some decided, some HOLD	prepare only the decided lane's readiness; keep others HOLD
B-C none approved	Owner keeps HOLD	re-verify read-only evidence; no new design surface
B-D reject creep	request for B5/B7/R1 work	refuse → scope-creep guard

5. Recommendation / matrix / result

Recommend the Macro-4 trigger be B-A (all three approved) → staging readiness + TD entry gate, design-only; otherwise B-B/B-C. Implementation remains separately write-gated.

6. Owner-gated future work

Launching Macro-4 and any build are Owner-gated; forbidden now.

7. What remains unresolved

Macro-4 not launched; trigger conditions unmet (no decisions yet).

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm even B-A stops at design-only (no implementation).
