Read-Only Host-Cron Evidence Recheck

Date: 2026-06-18 · Workstream: LEGO-PILOT-SLICE-0-R2-B2-READONLY-EVIDENCE-OWNER-PATH-MACRO-2026-06-18 (Deliverable 11 of 30) · Editorial revision: rev1 Class: read-only channel evidence (host cron) · READ-ONLY · NON-ENACTING · NON-AUTHORIZING · RECOMMENDATION_ONLY — NOT AUTHORITY · NO cron created · NO write performed.

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

Host-cron lock. Read-only re-confirmation of host-cron state via the DB-captured wf_host_crontab_snapshot. It creates no cron entry, selects no channel. CAV-3/CAV-4: no live crontab -l tool exists; the snapshot is the authoritative read-only window.


0. Status and non-authorization

STATUS: PASS — engineering / read-only. Fresh confirmation that host cron carries no birth/inspect/certify entry and the 0 6 slot is dot-nrm-lifecycle. Engineering PASS ≠ authority PASS. Default disposition: HOLD. No cron create/edit; no channel selection; no DB write/DDL/DML; no TD; no blocker resolved.

Evidence basis — FRESH_READONLY_EVIDENCE (FQ-10) + CAV-3/CAV-4 (snapshot-only). Reading discipline: main process, no reader-agents.


1. Purpose

Re-confirm read-only that host cron has no birth-inspection wiring (host cron is a candidate channel; its read-only first obligation is "is a birth entry present in the snapshot?"). §4 records the readback.

The one rule: host cron is a candidate, recommendation-only; reading the snapshot does not wire or select it.


2. Sources / evidence read

Deliverable 1 (FQ-10); R2a §6 (the 54-entry snapshot; 0 6 = dot-nrm-lifecycle; no birth entry); Mega Gate channel-proof-obligations (host-cron obligation = entry present in snapshot). Read directly, main process.


3. Accepted baseline (carried)

R2a (INHERITED): wf_host_crontab_snapshot (observed 2026-06-17 02:10:04) = 54 entries, all OBSERVED; the 0 6 slot is dot-nrm-lifecycle; no entry references birth/inspect/certify; only maintenance/scanner/backup DOTs.


4. Read-only evidence observed (FRESH, 2026-06-18)

FQ-10 — wf_host_crontab_snapshot: 54 total entries; 0 entries referencing birth/inspect/certify; 1 entry referencing nrm-lifecycle. Unchanged from R2a's census. The host-cron channel is the proven sibling-scanner channel but carries no birth inspector entry; standing up one would be a single net-new entry (a future write, Owner-gated).

Tool-boundary (CAV-3/CAV-4): there is no live crontab -l/systemctl tool; wf_host_crontab_snapshot is the authoritative DB-captured read-only window. No overclaim about live host state beyond the snapshot.


5. Classification / result (recommendation-only)

  • host cron = candidate (unchanged); its read-only first obligation is FRESH-confirmed: a birth entry is absent in the snapshot (so today it is not wired; the snapshot is readable, satisfying the read-only-provable obligation class).
  • No cron entry created; no channel selected. "Did a wired producer run / idempotency" remain write-gated (need a built producer).

6. Owner-gated future work

Future work Gate required Forbidden now?
Add a birth-inspector host-cron entry Điều 32 + S2 owner (the cron must invoke a governed producer, not a manual script) Yes
Select host cron as the channel Owner decision (recommendation-only) Yes

7. What remains unresolved

  • Host cron carries no birth entry; wiring one is write-gated.
  • Live host state beyond the snapshot is not readable (CAV-3/CAV-4).
  • Blockers — all OPEN.

8. Ready for GPT/Codex review

Yes — as a read-only host-cron recheck.

Core rule: host cron = 54 entries, 0 birth, 0 6 = nrm-lifecycle (FRESH, unchanged); candidate only; no cron created, no channel selected.

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