Macro-5 Staging Build Authorization Ballot — R2-B2 (2026-06-19)

Date: 2026-06-19 · Workstream: R2-B2-MACRO-5-STAGING-BUILD-AUTHORIZATION-PACKAGE-2026-06-19 (Deliverable 6 of 110) · Editorial revision: rev1 Class: staging build authorization ballot · READ-ONLY · NON-ENACTING · NON-AUTHORIZING · prepared NOT cast · NO write performed.

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