0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. The owner_surface + authority_gate section: who owns the block and the gate every write passes. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Define the owner/authority section so no block runs ungoverned — without assigning any owner here.

2. Sources / evidence read

Điều 32 (§2.1 DOT-100%, §2.4 scope, §4.2 quorum, §4.3 no self-approve); inspect-producer §4 (authority = S1/Điều 32; owner = external S2); FRESH governance_object_ownership=0. Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

A block's authority flows only from the Owner via Điều 37→32; an assigned governance owner (S2) is a precondition for a standing producer. Macro-3 recommends a dedicated B2 Producer Owner role/class — a model, not a person, with no governance_object_ownership row written.

4. Evidence / analysis — owner section shape

Element	Requirement
owner_surface	a named governance owner role (single accountable owner + halt authority)
Quorum	reviewer/quorum path under Điều 32 (risk-scaled); high-risk = ≥1 president + ≥2 ai_council + 0 reject
No self-approve	Điều 32 §4.3 forbids self-approval of one's own high-risk request
authority_gate	every write passes Điều 37→32; no manual SQL / curl bypass (§2.1)
Row last	the ownership row is written only after Owner approval — not here

5. Contract / requirement / matrix / result

FRESH: governance_object_ownership=0 — there is genuinely no owner; this is an open Owner decision, not a documentary lag. Any wording that reads as assigning an owner is OWNER_ASSIGNMENT_DRIFT → HOLD. Status this run: NOT triggered.

6. Owner-gated future work

Naming the role-holder and writing the ownership row are Owner acts (Điều 37→32); forbidden now.

7. What remains unresolved

GATE-5 (owner) OPEN and non-waivable; no owner assigned.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm the owner section assigns nobody and writes no ownership row.
