Codex Review — Macro-7 R2-B2 Preflight-Before-Write HOLD Report (2026-06-19)
STATUS: PASS_WITH_CAVEATS
OFFICIAL REPORT: knowledge/dev/laws-new/reports/codex/codex-review-macro7-r2-b2-preflight-before-write-hold-report-2026-06-19.md
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- Verdict: ACCEPT the Macro-7 preflight-before-write HOLD report as a valid read-only preflight baseline.
- The report correctly executes/records only preflight reconstruction and stops before runtime writes.
- It correctly preserves REQUEST / GRANT / EXECUTE separation: REQUEST complete, conditional GRANT incomplete, EXECUTE not started.
- HOLD-before-write is justified because GATE-3, GATE-4, GATE-5, P1, SB build gate, and PF-9 aggregate remain NO-GO/open.
- Caveats remain: Codex did not independently rerun live SQL; same-cluster staging risk remains;
app.birth_gate_mode remains unavailable via safe surface.

REQUEST / GRANT / EXECUTE AUDIT
| Check |
Verdict |
Issue |
| REQUEST complete |
PASS |
Report grounds REQUEST in Macro-4/5/6 and accepted Codex reviews. |
| Owner conditional GRANT acknowledged |
PASS |
Report acknowledges conditional grant but correctly says it is not complete. |
| Real GRANT incomplete |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
P1/P2/P3/P4 are not fully resolved; M5 ballot not cast; isolation scheme not chosen. |
| Authority not granted by report |
PASS |
Report grants nothing and recommends HOLD before write. |
| M5 ballot not cast |
PASS |
Report says none cast. |
| Isolation scheme not chosen |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
SB-4 remains undecided; no separate DB staging confirmed. |
| EXECUTE not started |
PASS |
No staging/workbench object, no build, no command sequence. |
GATE AUDIT
| Gate |
Verdict |
Issue |
| GATE-3 Điều 0-G |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Remains OPEN; no adoption/recovery/patch. |
| GATE-4 channel |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Remains OPEN/non-waivable; pg_cron absent, no birth-bound agent contract, no birth host cron. |
| GATE-5 S2 owner |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Remains OPEN/non-waivable; governance_object_ownership = 0 per report. |
| P1 Owner build approval |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Conditional prompt language does not complete/cast the governed approval path. |
| SB build gate |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Remains NO-GO; isolation, Owner auth, and verification harness remain unresolved. |
| PF-9 aggregate |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Correctly remains NO-GO. |
RISK AUDIT
| Risk |
Verdict |
Issue |
| Same-cluster blast radius |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Report correctly identifies future shell would share the directus DB cluster with production tables. |
| Same Directus DB contains production substrate |
PASS |
Report states birth/governance substrate is in directus.public, with IU staging in iu_core. |
| Separate DB staging not confirmed |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Report explicitly says separate DB option was not chosen. |
| Scratch schema does not close gates |
PASS |
Report says shell build would not resolve GATE-3/4/5 or backlog. |
| Shell build would not reduce backlog |
PASS |
Report identifies motion-without-progress risk. |
| Trigger/side-effect risk |
PASS |
Report notes many birth_* triggers/guards and residual trigger interaction risk. |
| app.birth_gate_mode unavailable |
PASS |
Report preserves uncertainty and does not claim no transient bypass. |
NON-AUTHORIZATION AUDIT
- DB write/DDL/DML performed/authorized? no
- schema/table/corpus created? no

- production birth_registry write? no
- production inspect_* write? no
- certified write? no
- KG/universal_edges write? no

LEGO / SCOPE AUDIT
| Check |
Verdict |
Issue |
| B2 only primary |
PASS |
Report preserves B2 as inspect producer path only; no certify/canonical/promote. |
| B5/B7 dependency-only |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Backlog and gate policy remain dependency context, not opened work. |
| R1/KG cross-check-only |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
KG/provenance gap remains open; no KG write. |
| No mega-registry |
PASS |
No registry expansion/build authorized. |
| No mega-graph |
PASS |
No graph/KG construction authorized. |
| No mega-birth pipeline |
PASS |
No backlog processing/certification/promote pipeline authorized. |
| Future workbench single disposable unit |
PASS_WITH_CAVEATS |
Preserved as future option only; no surface exists now. |
| Delete-fast mandatory |
PASS |
Report preserves delete-fast as mandatory for any future write turn. |
| Production untouched mandatory |
PASS |
Report preserves no-production-touch requirement and confirms this turn was read-only except KB report creation. |
NEXT-STEP DECISION
- Is the preflight report accepted? yes, with caveats.
- Can GPT/Owner use this as current-state baseline? yes.
- Was any Owner authority action enacted? no.
- Is staging build authorized now? no.
- Is write-enabled remediation authorized now? no.
- Recommended next action: resolve GATE-3/4/5 + P1 + SB-4 first, or explicitly log HOLD-with-revisit. A same-cluster empty shell should only be a separate explicit Owner write turn accepting residual risk, not the default.
FINAL RECOMMENDATION
- Further Claude/Agent patch needed? no.
- Should the next move be gate-closure package, write shell, or HOLD? Gate-closure package first is the default recommendation; HOLD-with-revisit is acceptable; write shell only with explicit Owner acceptance of same-cluster pre-positioning risk.
- Default next action: HOLD before write until gates are resolved.
- Do not implement confirmation: no runtime mutation, no DDL/DML, no implementation, no technical design, no blocker resolution, no current corpus, no staging build, no actual B2 TD, no bad-input test.
