Macro-4 Staging Workbench Lifecycle — R2-B2 (2026-06-19)

Date: 2026-06-19 · Workstream: R2-B2-MACRO-4-STAGING-WORKBENCH-IO-CONTRACT-TD-ENTRY-GATE-2026-06-19 (Deliverable 8 of 90) · Editorial revision: rev1 Class: staging workbench lifecycle · READ-ONLY · NON-ENACTING · NON-AUTHORIZING · CONCEPT-ONLY · NO write performed.

Metadata convention. Editorial revision (rev1) only. Storage revision/content_length authoritative at read time.


0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. The conceptual lifecycle of the workbench surface and the draft runs inside it. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Define the workbench lifecycle so "draft → test → reject → delete" is a clean, repeatable loop with production untouched.

2. Sources / evidence read

Pilot-slice staging IO contract §3/§9/§10; operating-rules v7.58 (Assembly First; "/tmp not SSOT"); inspect-producer §10 (rollback unit). Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

"Nháp thoải mái" is safe because (a) nothing a draft does writes production, and (b) the whole experiment can be thrown away in one delete-fast with production provably untouched.

4. Evidence / analysis — lifecycle stages (conceptual)

Stage What happens Constraint
Provision a disposable workbench surface is stood up (future build) separate from production; Owner-gated
Seed a bounded disposable sample mirroring uncertified-row shape no live-data extraction designed here
Exercise a candidate B2 produces candidate inspect_* (genuine per-stage) PEN→STAMP→GATE; one column per inspector; fail→staging audit
Observe staging-tagged evidence records counts/ids/failures records, never decides
Reject/Adjust a wrong design is discarded; a new one drafted no production cleanup needed
Dispose the whole surface deleted in one unit production byte/count-identical before/after

5. Contract / requirement / matrix / result

The lifecycle has no automatic promotion stage: a validated candidate is evidence, not a production write. Promotion is a separate Owner gate outside the loop. The loop never touches production, never certifies, never canonicalizes.

6. Owner-gated future work

Provisioning/seeding/exercising/disposing are all Owner-gated future TD; forbidden now.

7. What remains unresolved

Seed population (how a sample is obtained) and the disposal mechanism are FUTURE_TECHNICAL_DESIGN_REQUIRED.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm the lifecycle has no implicit staging→production step.
