0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. The load-bearing distinction: a green PASS here is engineering, not authority. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Prevent the package's PASS from being read as an Owner authorization.

2. Sources / evidence read

Macro-4 engineering-pass-not-authority-pass lock (D72); authority-pass-required-before-build (82); Điều 32. Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

An engineering PASS attests the docs are internally correct and non-enacting; it authorizes nothing.

4. Evidence / analysis

PASS type	What it means	Held by Macro-5?
engineering PASS	docs correct, non-enacting, LEGO-clean	yes
authority PASS	Owner authorizes a write-enabled act	no

5. Candidate / requirement / gate / result

Macro-5 holds engineering PASSes only. No build, no TD, no write is authorized. The default disposition is HOLD until an Owner authority-PASS is separately granted. Conflating the two = the core governance failure this lock prevents.

6. Owner-gated future work

Granting an authority-PASS is an Owner act; forbidden now.

7. What remains unresolved

No authority-PASS exists; default HOLD.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm the PASS is engineering-only and default is HOLD.
