0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. The ballot for whether Macro-6 may request a build, for the Owner (not the delegate) to cast. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.

1. Purpose

Separate the orchestration delegate's branch selection (M5-A) from the Owner's build authorization (this ballot).

2. Sources / evidence read

Staging build authorization ballot (6); owner-delegate record (1); Macro-6 branch map (78). Main process, no reader-agents.

3. Accepted baseline (carried)

The Owner-delegate may select a branch to prepare; only the Owner may authorize a write-enabled build.

4. Evidence / analysis — the ballot

Q	Decision	Recommendation	Default
M5-B1	Did the delegate correctly select M5-A to prepare?	yes (smallest forward step)	accept (delegate scope only)
M5-B2	Does the Owner authorize Macro-6 to request a build?	not yet — SB gate NO-GO	HOLD
M5-B3	If yes, write-enabled or design-only Macro-6?	design-only unless explicit	design-only

5. Candidate / requirement / gate / result

Recommended: M5-B1=accept (delegate selected a branch only) · M5-B2=HOLD · M5-B3=design-only. No answer recorded; all defaults HOLD. The delegate's selection enacted nothing; the build authorization is the Owner's alone.

6. Owner-gated future work

Casting this ballot is an Owner act; forbidden now.

7. What remains unresolved

M5-B2/B3 unanswered; defaults HOLD.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — Codex should confirm the delegate's branch-selection is separated from the Owner's build authorization.
