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


0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. Keeps B5 (backlog) and B7 (gate policy) dependency-only. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Confirm Macro-5 neither designs nor opens B5 or B7.

2. Sources / evidence read

Macro-4 B5/B7 scope lock (D66); FRESH app.birth_gate_mode (OOB, inherited warn-mode); process/queue switches OFF. Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

Macro-5 references B5 only as "manual one-shot = B5 not B2" and B7 only to say the gate policy stays as-is; neither is designed/opened/modified.

4. Evidence / analysis

The 1.21M backlog (FRESH uncertified 1,211,893) is evidence/urgency, not a B5 work item. FRESH: process/queue switches OFF; app.birth_gate_mode inherited warn-mode (no warn→block flip). Neither B5 nor B7 is touched.

5. Candidate / requirement / gate / result — drift trigger (→ HOLD)

Any active design/implementation of B5 backlog draining or B7 gate-mode change = B5_B7_SCOPE_CREEP → HOLD. Status this run: NOT triggered.

6. Owner-gated future work

B5/B7 are separate Owner-gated workstreams; not opened here.

7. What remains unresolved

B5/B7 remain dependency-only; backlog growing, gate warn-mode.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm neither B5 nor B7 is opened.
