Path-classification lock. This packet classifies the seven candidate Owner paths given the fresh evidence and recommends one — as decision-support. It chooses nothing for the Owner, selects no channel, opens no TD, authorizes no write. The recommendation is
RECOMMENDATION_ONLY — NOT AUTHORITY — OWNER_GATE_REQUIRED.
0. Status and non-authorization
STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. A complete classified menu of the seven paths (Path 1…Path 7) with disposition, reason from fresh evidence, and a recommendation-only ordering. It takes no decision.
Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default disposition: HOLD. Same non-authorization as Deliverable 1 §0; specifically: selects no channel (CHANNEL_AUTHORITY_DRIFT guarded), opens no TD (ACTUAL_TD_DRIFT guarded), opens no B5/B7 (B5_B7_SCOPE_CREEP guarded).
Evidence basis — FRESH_READONLY_EVIDENCE + INHERITED_KB_EVIDENCE (Deliverable 1). Reading discipline: main process, no reader-agents.
1. Purpose
Answer macro question 9: what exact Owner path should be chosen next, given the fresh evidence? §5 classifies the seven paths and recommends one (recommendation-only).
The one rule, above all detail. Because this macro already executed the read-only re-verification (Path 1 / Macro-1), the next-step fork shifts toward the Owner-decision/out-of-band prerequisites — but the Owner alone decides; this packet recommends.
2. Sources / evidence read
Deliverable 1 (fresh ledger), Deliverable 2 (gate delta); the Mega Gate Owner Decision Options (Options A–G) and Next-3 Macro Roadmap; the B2 Entry Gate (waiver/hard-floor). Read directly, main process.
3. Accepted baseline (carried)
The Mega Gate Owner Decision Options recommended E/F → B+D → C → A; reject G. That ordering assumed read-only re-verification (E/F) was still owed. This macro performed E/F read-only, so the ordering's first step is now substantially done (engineering, read-only).
4. Analysis — what the fresh evidence changes for path selection
Per the macro's own guidance (§9.3): recommend Path 1 if fresh evidence is incomplete; recommend Path 2 if read-only evidence sufficiently confirms B3/B4 and the channel substrate. The fresh evidence (Deliverable 1) did sufficiently confirm B3/B4 (FQ-1/7/8/9) and the channel substrate (FQ-5/10/15/16/17/18/19). Therefore the read-only re-verify path is largely retired and the recommendation moves to Path 2 (Owner channel decision), paired with the other Owner-decision/OOB prerequisites — without selecting a channel here.
5. Owner path classification (Path 1…Path 7)
| Path | What it is | Disposition (given fresh evidence) | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Path 1 | Read-only reverify first | Largely DONE (this macro) — a further read-only pass optional (e.g. fresh governance_object_ownership, a second confidence sweep) |
The macro executed the B3/B4 + substrate read-only re-verification; little read-only value remains unharvested |
| Path 2 | Owner channel decision first | RECOMMENDED next (recommendation-only) | Fresh evidence confirms B3/B4 stable and the channel substrate state; the candidates' read-only-provable first obligations are now confirmed (Deliverable 15), so an informed Owner channel selection is the single largest remaining TD-readiness unlock (G-4). The selection is the Owner's act, not this packet's |
| Path 3 | Điều 0-G source authority first | Recommended in parallel (out-of-band) | G-3 is NO_GO_SOURCE_AUTHORITY; STAMP/GATE are least-precedented; recovery is OOB and may take time — open it alongside Path 2 |
| Path 4 | S2 owner assignment first | Recommended, bundled with Path 2 | G-5 is NO_GO_OWNER_DECISION; pairing the owner assignment with the channel decision is the Mega Gate roadmap's Macro-2 (separate deliverables, no coupling) |
| Path 5 | Staging build readiness first | Safe but later | G-6 is NO_GO_WRITE_GATED; staging is channel-agnostic and most useful once contract inputs (Path 2/3) are frozen — sequence after |
| Path 6 | Actual B2 TD now | REJECT unless Owner explicitly waives | Aggregate NO-GO; GATE-3/4/5/6 still No-Go; GATE-4 (channel) and GATE-5 (owner) are not waivable (Entry Gate hard floor). Opening TD now designs against unfrozen inputs |
| Path 7 | Expand B5/B7 now | REJECT — B5_B7_SCOPE_CREEP |
B5 (backlog) and B7 (GUC) are dependencies only; opening them violates the primary-block lock |
Recommendation (RECOMMENDATION_ONLY — NOT AUTHORITY — OWNER_GATE_REQUIRED): Path 2 (Owner channel decision) as the primary next step, bundled with Path 3 (Đ0-G, out-of-band) and Path 4 (S2 owner) as the Mega Gate roadmap's Macro-2 — three separate deliverables, no coupling. Path 5 sequences after. Path 6 rejected (aggregate No-Go; non-waivable gates open). Path 7 rejected (scope creep). This is decision-support; the Owner chooses.
6. Owner-gated future work
| Future work | Gate required | Forbidden now? |
|---|---|---|
| Select a channel (Path 2) | Owner decision (informed by Deliverables 12/15/26) | Yes |
| Recover Đ0-G (Path 3) | external S6, OOB | Yes |
| Assign S2 owner (Path 4) | Điều 37 → Điều 32 | Yes |
| Build staging (Path 5) | Điều 32 — write-gated | Yes |
| Open actual B2 TD (Path 6) | Owner decision after entry gate Go (rejected now) | Yes |
7. What remains unresolved
- No path is chosen here (by design); the Owner decides.
- Path 6 stays rejected until GATE-3/4/5/6 are Go (or GATE-3 Owner-waived with caveat) and the hard floor intact.
- Blockers — all OPEN.
8. Ready for GPT/Codex review
Yes — as a read-only path-selection packet, not a decision.
Core rule, kept above all detail: with B3/B4 and the channel substrate now read-only confirmed, the recommended next path is Path 2 (Owner channel decision), bundled with Path 3 (Đ0-G OOB) + Path 4 (S2) — recommendation-only; Path 6 and Path 7 rejected; no channel selected; aggregate B2 TD NO-GO.
Default disposition: HOLD. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. All blockers remain OPEN.
