Owner Decision Brief — Next Path (R2-B2)

Date: 2026-06-18 · Workstream: LEGO-PILOT-SLICE-0-R2-B2-READONLY-EVIDENCE-OWNER-PATH-MACRO-2026-06-18 (Deliverable 4 of 30) · Editorial revision: rev1 Class: Owner-facing decision brief / decision-support · READ-ONLY · NON-ENACTING · NON-AUTHORIZING · NOT remediation · NOT technical design · NOT implementation · NO blocker resolved · NO channel selected · NO write performed.

Metadata convention. Editorial revision (rev1) only. AgentData storage revision/content_length authoritative at read time; not pinned here.

Brief lock. This is a concise Owner-facing brief synthesizing the 30-file evidence into one decision. It recommends, it does not decide. No channel selected; no TD opened; no write authorized.


0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / design-only. A one-page Owner brief: what the fresh evidence proved, what moved, what is still blocked, and the recommended next path (recommendation-only). Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default disposition: HOLD. Same non-authorization as Deliverable 1 §0.

Evidence basis — FRESH_READONLY_EVIDENCE + INHERITED_KB_EVIDENCE. Reading discipline: main process, no reader-agents.


1. Purpose

Give the Owner a single, decision-ready synthesis: the fresh read-only evidence is in; here is what it changed and the recommended next move.


2. Sources / evidence read

Deliverables 1–3 + 5–25 of this macro; the Mega Gate Owner Decision Options + Next-3 Roadmap. Read directly, main process.


3. Accepted baseline (carried)

Actual B2 TD was aggregate No-Go on inherited evidence; the recommended first step was a read-only re-verification. Done (this macro, read-only).


4. Read-only evidence observed — the four findings that matter most

  1. B3/B4 are sound (FRESH). The three inspect_* columns exist (timestamptz); trg_birth_auto_certify is enabled; the only function naming inspect_* is the consumer fn_birth_auto_certify — i.e. the "healthy-but-starved" stud is real and current. G-2 read-only verified.
  2. The producer gap is real and live (FRESH). 1,211,635 uncertified births, 0 of them carrying any inspect_*, last birth today (2026-06-18 10:34); 1,402 certified — all from the one-shot 2026-03-21 bootstrap. No standing producer exists.
  3. The channel substrate is fail-closed (FRESH). DOT switches OFF, queue.worker.enabled=false, queue idle since 2026-05-26, no pg_cron, no birth cron (54 host entries, 0 birth), agent-api executor healthy but 0 birth-bound (2 KG-EXPLAIN contracts only).
  4. Đ0-G source authority is still a gap (FRESH read of source). Đ0-G lives in architecture/ with a broken Constitution reference; STAMP/GATE never built (Phase B).

5. Result and recommendation

What moved: G-2/G-7/G-8/G-10 → read-only verified (engineering); the substrate No-Go (G-4/G-6/G-9) re-confirmed fresh; G-3 source-authority re-confirmed. What did not move: aggregate B2 TD remains NO-GO; no gate is Owner-closed; no blocker resolved.

Recommended next path (RECOMMENDATION_ONLY — NOT AUTHORITY — OWNER_GATE_REQUIRED): open Macro-2 = the Owner-decision/out-of-band prerequisites — (a) channel decision (Path 2; select from host cron / agent-api candidates, informed by Deliverables 12/15/26), (b) Đ0-G source authority (Path 3, out-of-band), (c) S2 producer owner (Path 4) — as three separate deliverables, no coupling. Then staging (Path 5). Actual B2 TD (Path 6) only after GATE-3/4/5/6 are Go; B5/B7 (Path 7) rejected as scope creep. This packet selects nothing.


6. Owner-gated future work

All of Macro-2's decisions (channel, Đ0-G, S2), staging build, and actual TD are forbidden now — each a separate Owner gate (Deliverables 3, 25, 26).


7. What remains unresolved

  • Aggregate NO-GO; the Owner-decision/OOB prerequisites (G-3/G-4/G-5) and the write-gated builds (G-6/G-7/G-8/G-9) are untouched.
  • Blockers — all OPEN.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — as an Owner-facing decision brief.

Core rule, kept above all detail: the read-only evidence is in and confirms B3/B4 + the fail-closed substrate; the recommended next move is the Owner-decision/OOB Macro-2 (channel + Đ0-G + S2), recommendation-onlyno channel selected, no TD opened, aggregate B2 TD NO-GO.

Default disposition: HOLD. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. All blockers remain OPEN.
