content_lengthauthoritative at read time.
Ballot lock. This ballot is prepared, not cast. Recording any answer is an Owner act. Every default is HOLD.
0. Status and non-authorization
STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. The ballot the Owner would cast to authorize a future staging build. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default: HOLD.
1. Purpose
Put the staging-build authorization decision in one place with a safe default.
2. Sources / evidence read
Macro-4 owner approval ballot (M4-B1…B4); Macro-4 staging-build gate (D57, SB-1…SB-6 NO-GO); prompt §9.3 (build-eligibility conditions). Main process, no reader-agents.
3. Accepted baseline (carried)
A staging build is less than actual B2 TD but still needs its own Owner gate; the SB gate is NO-GO; nothing about Macro-5 lifts it.
4. Evidence / analysis — the ballot
| Q | Decision | Recommendation | Options | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M5-Q1 | Accept the 110-file Macro-5 package (after GPT→Codex)? | yes if Codex PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
a) accept · b) accept w/ patches · c) HOLD | c) HOLD |
| M5-Q2 | Authorize building the disposable staging workbench? | not yet — SB gate NO-GO | a) authorize · b) HOLD | b) HOLD |
| M5-Q3 | If authorized, under which isolation scheme? | undecided (SB-4 No-Go) | a) separate schema · b) separate DB · c) tagged disposable · d) defer | d) defer |
| M5-Q4 | Launch Macro-6 as the build-execution request? | only if M5-Q2 = authorize | a) yes · b) no | b) no |
5. Candidate / requirement / gate / result
Recommended ballot: M5-Q1=a (accept after Codex) · M5-Q2=b (HOLD; SB gate NO-GO) · M5-Q3=d (defer) · M5-Q4=b (no). No answer is recorded; all defaults HOLD. Casting is an Owner act.
6. Owner-gated future work
Casting this ballot and recording answers are Owner acts; forbidden now.
7. What remains unresolved
All four questions unanswered; defaults HOLD.
8. Ready for GPT/Codex review
Yes — Codex should confirm each default is the safe disposition and no answer is pre-filled.
