0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. Draws the line between what GPT-as-Owner-delegate may orchestrate and what only the Owner may enact. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Clarify that orchestration (opening Macro-4, carrying assumptions) is delegated, but enactment (selecting/assigning/adopting/building/writing) is not.

2. Sources / evidence read

Macro-3 Owner-delegate decision record + Codex review (Option-D orchestration ≠ enactment); Điều 32 (owner gate). Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

GPT, as Owner-delegate for orchestration, accepts Macro-3 at decision-prep level and opens Macro-4 — but every lane still requires Owner approval; authority flows only from the Owner via Điều 37→32.

4. Evidence / analysis — the boundary

GPT-as-delegate MAY (orchestration)	Only the Owner MAY (enactment)
open Macro-4 as design/readiness-only	select a channel as runtime authority
carry Macro-3 recommendations as assumptions	assign S2 / write the ownership row
commission the 90 design deliverables	adopt/recover/patch Điều 0-G
recommend a Macro-5 branch	authorize a staging build or actual B2 TD
run read-only evidence checks	authorize any write-enabled act

5. Contract / requirement / matrix / result

Macro-4 stays entirely on the left column. Crossing into the right column (selection/assignment/adoption/build/write) is drift → HOLD/FAIL. Status this run: NOT triggered.

6. Owner-gated future work

All right-column acts are Owner-gated; forbidden now.

7. What remains unresolved

The three lane decisions + the two build gates are the Owner's to make; unmade.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm no deliverable crosses from orchestration into enactment.
