Codex Review — Macro-4 R2-B2 Staging Workbench / IO Contract / TD-Entry Gate
STATUS: PASS_WITH_CAVEATS
OFFICIAL REPORT:
knowledge/dev/laws-new/reports/codex/codex-review-macro4-r2-b2-staging-workbench-io-contract-td-entry-gate-2026-06-19.md
Executive Summary
- Verdict: PASS_WITH_CAVEATS. The 90-file Macro-4 package is accepted as design/readiness-only: staging workbench concept, draft lifecycle, standard IO envelope, B2 candidate contracts, delete-fast/no-production-touch obligations, bad-input oracle, TD/staging gates, and Macro-5 branch menu.
- No HOLD/FAIL trigger found: no staging schema/table/corpus, no current corpus, no actual TD, no bad-input test run, no runtime/source/staging mutation, no channel authority, no owner assignment, no Điều 0-G adoption, and no blocker resolution.
- Material caveats remain: GATE-3 source authority NO-GO, GATE-4 channel open, GATE-5 owner open, actual B2 TD NO-GO, staging build NO-GO, app.birth_gate_mode transient layer unavailable/OOB, write-gated paths closed, and all blockers OPEN.
- Codex did not independently rerun live SQL. This review grounds the fresh evidence claims in AgentData KB readback of the execution report, runtime ledger, and supporting control files.

Non-Authorization Audit
- DB write/DDL/DML performed/authorized? no
- restart/reload performed/authorized? no
- runner/job/cron/worker execution performed/authorized? no
- DOT/KG/birth/certify/promote execution performed/authorized? no
- inspect/certified writes performed/authorized? no
- channel authority selected? no
- S2 owner assigned? no
- governance_object_ownership row written? no
- Điều 0-G source adopted/recovered/patched? no
- staging schema/table/corpus created? no
- current corpus created? no
- bad-input test run? no
- actual TD authorized? no
- implementation authorized? no
- blocker falsely resolved? no
- v0.1-stable overwritten? no
- v0.2-hardening promoted/used as authority? no
Next-Step Decision
- Is the 90-file Macro-4 bundle accepted? yes, with caveats.
- Can GPT/Owner use this to choose Macro-5 branch? yes.
- Was any Owner authority action enacted? no.
- Is actual B2 TD authorized now? no.
- Is staging build authorized now? no.
- Is write-enabled remediation authorized now? no.
- Recommended next action: Owner/GPT may choose Macro-5 branch. Default remains HOLD; M5-A is only a future staging-build authorization package, not a build.
Final Recommendation
- Further Claude patch needed? no, not for this package as design/readiness-only.
- Owner-delegate can use this bundle for Macro-5 decision? yes, with caveats retained.
- Default next action: Owner branch decision for Macro-5; no automatic staging build, no actual TD, no write-enabled remediation.
- Do not implement confirmation: no runtime mutation, no DDL/DML, no implementation, no technical design, no blocker resolution, no current corpus, no staging schema/table/corpus, no bad-input test run, no adoption.
