08 — FINAL DECISION

VERDICT

C1_STAGING_FAST_DRY_RUN_READY_FOR_CODEX_REVIEW

What was achieved (all inside the staging-lite lane only)

1. Reuse-first re-confirmed (fresh, Codex stance): 0 staging/sandbox primitives in dot/bin (287 dot scripts scanned), 0 in dot_tools. Option-3 (separate staging lane) still applies.
2. 6 primitives admitted under DOT-100-staging-lite (ADM-C1-STAGING-LITE-2026-06-23, staging-auto gate, 9/9 checks PASS) — the owner-granted admission that the prior package named as its single residual.
3. 6 primitives deployed to /opt/incomex/staging/c1/bin/ (NOT dot/bin) + _common.sh + 6 SQL payloads; all parse (bash -n), source resolves, sha256 recorded.
4. 6 primitives registered in a staging registry (registry/primitives.jsonl, 6 rows w/ sha256) + staging DOT-manage ledger (ledger/dot_manage.jsonl, 5 ops) — NOT official dot_tools.
5. Static/no-write validation: 44/44 PASS (GREEN) — parser, SQL-target safety, dollar-quote balance, psql-var placement, guard self-tests, P5/P6 anti-false-PASS logic, and zero-write proof.
6. Exact dry-run command plan prepared (P1→P3→P4→P5→P6→P2) — not run.
7. Official runtime before == after (identical snapshots 07:11Z vs 07:27Z; staging_DBs stayed 0).

Scope of the claim (no overclaim)

READY_FOR_CODEX_REVIEW = the staging-lite primitives are admitted/deployed/registered and the lane is ready for a fast dry-run. The full dry-run has NOT run (no sandbox DB created). Codex review is the next gate, before the dry-run.

Residual / next steps (in order)

1. Codex review of the deployed primitives + SQL payloads + this evidence package.
2. After Codex PASS: run the dry-run P1→P3→P4→P5→P6→P2 (separate action), capture run evidence, re-confirm official runtime before==after.
3. Only much later, and as a separate lane, design any promote-from-staging-to-official path (that is the APR-0415 / quorum lane — deliberately untouched here).

Readiness flags

• ready for Codex review: YES
• ready to run the dry-run without Codex: NO
• ready for promotion: NO
• ready for production: NO
• official-runtime mutated: NO (before == after)

Self-check (all answered YES)

1. Stayed in staging lane only — YES
2. Avoided APR-0415 / quorum / dot-apr-approve — YES
3. Avoided official registry/runtime mutation — YES (before==after)
4. Admitted/deployed only the 6 staging primitives — YES (+ _common.sh helper, no new primitive)
5. Static/no-write validation passed — YES (44/44 GREEN)
6. Avoided running the full dry-run — YES (staging_DBs=0)
7. Prepared exact dry-run command plan — YES (file 05)
8. before/after official runtime snapshot matched — YES (identical)
9. KB evidence reads back — YES (this package, batch_read verified)
10. Ready for Codex review before actual dry-run — YES
