0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. B2's owner_surface + authority_gate. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Define the governance owner + approval gate B2 must pass before any standing run — assigning nobody.

2. Sources / evidence read

Inspect-producer §4 (authority S1/Điều 32; owner external S2); Điều 32 (§2.1/§2.4/§4.2/§4.3); Macro-3 S2 final recommendation; FRESH governance_object_ownership=0. Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

B2 goes standing only via Điều 37→32 with an assigned S2 owner. Macro-3 recommends a dedicated B2 Producer Owner role/class (single accountable owner + halt authority + Điều-32 quorum, no self-approve) — a model, not a person; ownership row written only after approval.

4. Evidence / analysis — B2 owner-approval contract

Element	Requirement
Owner	a dedicated B2 Producer Owner role (recommended; not assigned)
Authority path	Điều 37 → Điều 32; no manual SQL / curl bypass (§2.1)
Quorum	risk-scaled (high: ≥1 president + ≥2 ai_council + 0 reject)
No self-approve	§4.3 forbids self-approval of own high-risk request
Ungoverned run	BI-9 / F-OPEN-5: with no owner/Điều 32, the producer does not run (no stamps)

5. Contract / requirement / matrix / result

FRESH: governance_object_ownership=0 → GATE-5 (owner) OPEN, non-waivable. No owner is assigned and no ownership row is written here (OWNER_ASSIGNMENT_DRIFT → HOLD if it were). Status this run: NOT triggered.

6. Owner-gated future work

Naming the role-holder + writing the ownership row are Owner acts; forbidden now.

7. What remains unresolved

S2 owner unassigned; who halts the producer if the single owner is unavailable is an open question (OQ-8 carried).

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm B2 cannot run ungoverned and that nobody is assigned.
