09 — FINAL VERDICT

Verdict

CODEX_REJECT_C1_STAGING_R3_EVIDENCE_FALSE_PASS_RISK

• Claude R3-SELF-1 fix valid: YES
• injection remains fixed: YES
• SBX propagation safe: YES
• P1 partial cleanup safe: YES for trappable failures
• plan cleanup target safe: YES
• P2 failure cannot be swallowed: YES
• --force disabled/provenance-safe: YES
• P5 fail-closed safe: YES
• P6 false-PASS blocked: NO — upstream pre-gate stamps can masquerade as DONE
• DOT stamp/ledger/evidence sufficient: NO
• official runtime protected: YES
• permission for T2 to run dry-run: NO
• ready for promotion: NO
• ready for production: NO

Required fixes

1. Move P3/P4/P5 fatal gates before DONE ledger insertion and COMMIT, or write explicit success stamps only after gates.
2. Require those success stamps in P6 and independently enforce the exact three expected operation codes plus field invariants.
3. In plan cleanup, require P2 RETIRED_OK/drop_success for the owned sandbox; do not treat NO_OP as equivalent.
4. JSON-encode dynamic host-ledger fields and verify appended JSONL.
5. Refresh registry/ledger/evidence, rerun static no-write validation, then request the next external review.

Steps 0–6

0 foundations/search complete; 1 receive complete; 2 static design review complete; 3 code N/A by hard lock; 4–5 no deploy/dry-run/production mutation; 6 ten KB reports uploaded/read back. OR update not needed; findings apply existing fail-closed/evidence laws. No separate TD/handoff mutation under the read-only lock.
