Codex Review - Mega Gate R2-B2 Bundle

STATUS: PASS_WITH_CAVEATS REPORT_DATE: 2026-06-18 OFFICIAL_KB_PATH: knowledge/dev/laws-new/reports/codex/codex-review-mega-gate-r2-b2-bundle-2026-06-18.md REVIEW_SCOPE: Independent read-only control review of the 20-file Mega Gate R2-B2 Bundle.

0. Operating Position

Three declarations:

• Permanent: this review accepts only the LEGO control surfaces and their gates; it does not convert design-only packets into authority or implementation.
• Mistake-resistant: the controlling checks are exact KB paths, AgentData metadata, explicit non-authorization lines, and drift tests for TD/channel/staging/R1 scope.
• Automatic: nothing is made automatic by this review; every future read-only pass, Owner decision, staging build, TD, or write remains separately gated.

Rules/source discipline read before verdict:

• AGENTS.md and .claude/skills/incomex-rules.md read locally as mandatory process rules.
• AgentData search_knowledge("operating rules SSOT") read OR v7.58 / VPS operating rules context.
• AgentData search_knowledge("hiến pháp v4.0 constitution") read current constitution context; returned knowledge/dev/laws/constitution.md as v4.6.3 active context plus v4.0 review history.
• Review source documents were read from AgentData KB, not treated from a local mirror as official.

No runtime mutation, DDL/DML, implementation, technical design, blocker resolution, current corpus, staging corpus, source law edit, or draft adoption was performed or authorized.

1. Official Bundle Metadata Audit

All 20 expected AgentData KB documents were found at the exact requested paths. AgentData metadata observed via get_document:

Metadata verdict: PASS. The execution report correctly avoids pinning volatile storage revision/content_length in the body and states AgentData metadata is authoritative at read time.

2. Deep-Read Controls

Full-content readback was performed for the high-risk control documents:

• Channel Authority Recommendation: RECOMMENDATION_ONLY - NOT AUTHORITY - OWNER_GATE_REQUIRED - FUTURE_TECHNICAL_DESIGN_REQUIRED; no channel selected, wired, installed, promoted, or built.
• B2 Actual TD Entry Gate: aggregate gate is No-Go today; actual B2 TD must not start; no schema/DDL/table/migration/function body/SQL/scheduler/runner/command sequence/rollback script is written.
• Staging Build Readiness: readiness/IO-contract only; no schema, no SQL, no corpus, no live-data extraction, no staging build.
• No-Go Closure Matrix, Channel Proof Obligations, and B3/B4 Compatibility Readiness: provide the C11 runtime-evidence request substance as read-only evidence routing and proof obligations.
• Bad-Input Oracle Requirements: requirements only; no harness, no fixtures, no bad input executed, no test run.
• R1/KG Invariant Cross-Check: CLEAN as cross-check only; no KG backfill, quarantine, Qdrant-provenance logic, KG runner work, or R1 workstream opened.
• Codex Review Packet and Execution Report: both preserve engineering PASS != authority PASS and default disposition HOLD.

3. C11 Reconciliation Verdict

C11 requested a Runtime Evidence Request Matrix. The authoritative instruction also required exactly 20 files and no extra file. The bundle did not create a separate 21st file with that title.

The substance is present and reviewable across three exact deliverables:

• File 2 No-Go Closure Matrix: read-only-closeable? plus exact evidence/decision needed for G-1 through G-11 and blockers.
• File 6 Channel Proof Obligations: per-channel proof obligations and read-only-provability classes.
• File 9 B3/B4 Compatibility Readiness: read-only reconfirm requirements for B3/B4.

Verdict: PASS_WITH_CAVEATS. This is acceptable because the explicit 20-file lock would have made a 21st file a violation, and the evidence matrix substance is present. Caveat: future readers must not assume there is a standalone file named Runtime Evidence Request Matrix.

4. LEGO / Scope-Control Audit

Check	Verdict	Issue
Exactly 20 official KB files	PASS	20/20 found, revision 1 each.
Large bundle stayed modular	PASS	Deliverables are separate control surfaces, not a single mega-plan.
B2 remains only primary block	PASS	B2 stays inspect-only: read uncertified rows, write inspect_* only in future gated design.
B5/B7 remain dependencies only	PASS	No backlog pass or GUC policy design opened.
Hidden mega-pipeline / shared write surface	PASS	No mega-birth pipeline, no mega-registry, no shared write surface found in deep-read controls.
Owner gate preserved	PASS	Every future write/read-pass/TD/build remains Owner-gated or forbidden now.

5. Channel Audit

Check	Verdict	Issue
Recommendation-only	PASS	File 4 repeats RECOMMENDATION_ONLY - NOT AUTHORITY; default disposition HOLD.
Both candidates retained	PASS	Host cron and agent-api remain candidates; no collapse to one authority.
Risky channels retained as future-gated	PASS	pg_cron/job_queue remain risky/future-gated; manual one-shot rejected as standing channel.
Scheduler/runner/contract/install spec absent	PASS	Proof obligations are listed, but no build spec or command sequence is authorized.
Tool-boundary caveats preserved	PASS	Process logs/live /opt/incomex/dot/bin/transient GUC are not overclaimed.

6. B2 TD / Staging Audit

Check	Verdict	Issue
Actual B2 TD opened	PASS	Not opened; entry gate remains No-Go.
Non-TD outline obligations-only	PASS	Future TD requirements only; no actual TD content accepted as authority.
Staging schema/corpus/extraction	PASS	Staging is readiness/IO-contract only; no schema/corpus/extraction.
No-touch/delete-fast/bad-input	PASS_WITH_CAVEATS	Requirements/obligations only; no runtime tests have been run.
B3/B4 compatibility	PASS_WITH_CAVEATS	Readiness is carried; runtime reconfirm remains owed before actual TD.

7. R1/KG Invariant Audit

Check	Verdict	Issue
R1/KG opened as workstream	PASS	Not opened. Cross-check only.
S3/S4/KG/provenance/quarantine/Qdrant touched	PASS	No such work authorized or designed in the bundle.
Điều 39 invariant overclaimed as resolved	PASS	Not resolved; respected only because B2 writes no edges.
Shared agent-api coupling risk	PASS_WITH_CAVEATS	Kept as per-DOT contract obligation; not proven by a live run.

8. Non-Authorization Audit

• DB write/DDL/DML performed or authorized: no.
• Restart/reload performed or authorized: no.
• Runner/job/cron/worker execution performed or authorized: no.
• DOT/KG/birth/certify/promote execution performed or authorized: no.
• Inspect/certified writes performed or authorized: no.
• Channel authority selected: no.
• Gate flip / owner assignment / contract promotion authorized: no.
• pg_cron install / queue worker enable authorized: no.
• Source/prior-report patch performed or authorized: no.
• Current corpus created or authorized: no.
• Staging corpus/schema created or authorized: no.
• Actual TD authorized: no.
• Implementation authorized: no.
• Blocker resolved: no.
• v0.1-stable overwritten: no.
• v0.2-hardening promoted/used as authority: no.

9. Caveats That Remain Load-Bearing

• C11 is reconciled across files 2/6/9, not a standalone file.
• Channel recommendation is not channel authority; no channel liveness is proved by this bundle.
• Actual B2 TD remains No-Go; engineering PASS does not open TD.
• Staging is not built; no schema/corpus/extraction exists from this bundle.
• Bad-input/no-touch/delete-fast are proof obligations, not runtime PASS results.
• B3/B4 compatibility is inherited/readiness-level; current read-only reconfirm still owed before TD.
• Persisted GUC empty can be carried from prior evidence, but transient session bypass remains unreadable/out-of-band; no claim of 100% bypass absence is allowed.
• R1/KG invariant remains unresolved on the KG lane; this bundle only avoids touching it.

10. Next-Step Decision

• Is the 20-file Mega Gate Bundle accepted? yes, with caveats.
• Is C11 reconciliation accepted? yes, with caveat that no standalone file exists.
• Is actual B2 TD authorized now? no.
• Is write-enabled remediation authorized now? no.
• Is channel selected as authority now? no.
• Recommended next Owner path: use the bundle as a decision packet only; if proceeding, authorize a separate read-only reconfirmation pass for G-2 and partial G-7/G-8/G-10 evidence before any TD decision.

11. Final Recommendation

Further Claude patch needed: no, unless the Owner wants a standalone non-counted index note clarifying C11. Under the original exactly-20-file lock, a 21st deliverable would have been wrong.

Owner can use this bundle for next decision: yes, with the caveats above.

Default next action: Owner decision on whether to open a separate read-only re-verification macro. No automatic TD, no channel selection, no staging build, no write remediation.

Final verdict: PASS_WITH_CAVEATS.

Do not implement confirmation: this review performed and authorizes no runtime mutation, no DDL/DML, no implementation, no technical design, no blocker resolution, no current corpus, no staging corpus/schema, no source law edit, and no draft adoption.
