0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. The no-leftovers proof a delete-fast must satisfy (DF-5). Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Define the proof that nothing dangling survives disposal — no pointer, edge, or row.

2. Sources / evidence read

Macro-4 delete-fast master requirements (D37, DF-5/DF-6); after-state (62); delete candidate (28). Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

No leftover references (no dangling pointer/edge/row); no canonical address, certified row, or KG edge created by the draft.

4. Evidence / analysis — no-leftovers proof

Leftover class Post-disposal must be
dangling pointer to a deleted candidate none
orphan staging evidence none
candidate-derived canonical address none (DF-6)
candidate-derived certified row none (DF-6)
candidate-derived KG edge none (DF-6)

5. Candidate / requirement / gate / result

A delete-fast passes only if zero leftovers of any class survive. No disposal is run here; obligation defined. DF-6 also guarantees the draft created no canonical/certified/KG artifact in the first place, so none can be left behind.

6. Owner-gated future work

Verifying no-leftovers is part of a build; forbidden now.

7. What remains unresolved

No surface; no no-leftovers proof exists.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm the proof covers pointers, evidence, canonical, certified, and KG.
