C1-DRYRUN-EXECUTION 11 — Final Decision — 2026-06-22

Gate: REGISTRATION_HOLD · CAN_PROCEED = NO · 0 runtime mutations · DO NOT IMPLEMENT.

---

Verdict

C1_DRYRUN_HOLD_TEST_SANDBOX_AUTH_OR_RUNTIME_MISSING (not forced; macro §6).

The user's C1-only / test-sandbox-only authorization is sufficient as direction, but the governed write channel + execution runtime required to create-and-dry-run the C1 contract do not exist in this environment. The internal Codex review (file 10) shows attacks A1/A2 succeed (no dry-run executed, no contract registered) → READY is withheld; no fail-open or overclaim attack succeeds → HOLD, not REJECT.

Disposition

• C1 executable contract created/read-back: NO (file 03 — Option C, creation blocked: no governed creation primitive, MCP 403, raw SQL forbidden, query_pg read-only).
• Dry-run executed: NO (file 06 — nothing to dispatch; dispatcher raises on REAL_RUN).
• Bad-input executed: NO surface (file 07 — unexecuted; not fail-open, not demonstrated fail-closed).
• Any invalid input produced PASS/digest/seal/ready: NO (no surface emits any).
• Rollback executed: N/A — no state created; clean-state trivially proven (file 08).
• Before/after/readback: before == after, diff ∅, 0 mutations (file 09).
• Ready for Codex confirmation of an executed dry-run: NO. Ready for production: NO.

Remaining blockers

1. No governed Gate-B build-prep registration channel — a write path + the DOT_C1_SCHEMA_ENSURE creation primitive to register the C1 schema DOT, producer/verifier pair, value-admit + consume handlers, build-run/compensation, C1 harness, and C1 preflight view. (Root.)
2. After registration: a C1 frozen manifest digest; an active build-authorization grant (live auth_total=0); runtime gate flips (live: execute_enabled=false, real_run_enabled=false, dry_run_only=true); executor health + window.

These are the same B1/B4/B5/B6/B7 preparation gaps PATCH2 named — they cannot close without a write channel, which this environment does not provide.

Self-check (macro §7, 20 questions)

1 read Codex HOLD + PATCH2 self-HOLD — yes. 2 proved/created C1 contract — could not; Option C HOLD. 3 proved exact C1 scope — yes (C1 only). 4 proved no production path touched — yes (0 mutations; writes blocked). 5 manifest recompute — sample yes; manifest freeze blocked. 6 authorization exact matching — design yes; 0 live grants. 7 no/generic/wrong/stale/reused auth rejects — vacuous (no surface; auth_total=0). 8 actually executed dry-run — NO. 9 recorded exact dry-run command + output — recorded as NOT EXECUTED. 10 executed bad-input tests — NO (no surface). 11 any invalid input passed — no. 12 if yes → REJECT — n/a. 13 rollback/dismantle or pure no-state — no-state proven. 14 clean state by readback — yes (before==after). 15 no C2/C3 side effect — yes. 16 internal Codex negative review — yes (A1/A2 succeed → HOLD). 17 distinguished test/sandbox dry-run from production assembly — yes. 18 avoided registration/activation/current-corpus — yes. 19 official KB report + readback — yes (this package). 20 ready for Codex confirmation, not production — ready for Codex confirmation of the HOLD; NOT ready for production, NOT an executed dry-run.

NEXT

GPT → Codex confirmation that (a) the live HOLD is real (re-run the read-only probes) and (b) the next gate is a governed Gate-B build-prep registration capability, not a dry-run re-attempt — because a dry-run is undispatchable until the C1 executable contracts exist and are read-back-verifiable. Residual ⇒ a future C1_DRYRUN attempt once that channel exists.

Boundary attestation

Decision only; no mutation. REGISTRATION_HOLD retained; CAN_PROCEED = NO; 0 runtime mutations. DO NOT IMPLEMENT.
