Codex Review - R1-K || R2-B Block-Contract Packets Under LEGO Architecture

STATUS: PASS_WITH_CAVEATS REPORT_DATE: 2026-06-18 OFFICIAL_KB_PATH: knowledge/dev/laws-new/reports/codex/codex-review-r1-k-r2-b-block-contract-packets-lego-2026-06-18.md REVIEW_SCOPE: Independent read-only control review of four R1-K / R2-B block-contract deliverables.

0. Operating Position

Three declarations:

• Permanent: this review accepts only the block-contract control shape, not a one-off runtime fix or write-enabled remediation.
• Mistake-resistant: no PASS here bypasses Owner/D32 gates; every future write remains forbidden until separately authorized.
• Automatic: no automation is started here; the next package still requires explicit Owner selection.

Control principles applied: read from AgentData KB, treat AgentData metadata as authoritative, preserve inherited caveats, separate engineering PASS from authority PASS, reject hidden coupling, reject TD drift, reject automatic next-package start, and do not use local scratch as official storage.

Executive Summary

• The four files are valid block-contract deliverables at design-only altitude.
• R1-K and R2-B are truly separate: R1-K covers K1-K7 only, R2-B covers B1-B7 only, and no fifth combined mega-packet is treated as an output.
• The packets avoid a hidden mega-registry, mega-graph, and mega-birth pipeline. Shared S-blocks are referenced as external gates only.
• Each block has explicit contract fields, bad-input / invalid-state rejection behavior, rollback/replacement boundary, and safe failure mode.
• No disqualifying technical-design drift found: no DDL, migration plan, function body, mutate SQL plan, worker/cron build plan, producer/quarantine implementation, rollback script, exact remediation command, or runtime execution step.
• Status is PASS_WITH_CAVEATS, not PASS, because the six inherited caveats remain open and some missing-block rejection behavior is necessarily conceptual, not runtime-verified.

Metadata convention audit:

• Four target files exist at exact AgentData KB paths.
• No fifth combined packet is treated as an output.
• Editorial revision is distinct from AgentData metadata.
• File bodies intentionally do not pin volatile storage revision/content_length.
• AgentData metadata at read time is treated as authoritative.

Caveat Audit

Caveat	Verdict	Issue
CAV-1: R1a has no executor process-log proof; DB-contract / preflight / config layer only	PASS	Preserved in R1-K K1/K2; no executor log overclaim.
CAV-2: no provenance SoT means no SoT in inspected substrate only	PASS	Preserved in R1-K K3/K4; does not claim impossible future recovery.
CAV-3: manual bootstrap supported indirectly; old 2026-03-21 logs unavailable	PASS	Preserved in R2-B B2/B5; support limited to DB dot_origin plus synced script.
CAV-4: scripts from synced local mirror, not live /opt/incomex/dot/bin byte proof	PASS	Preserved in R2-B B2/B5; no byte-for-byte live-file overclaim.
CAV-5: no persisted GUC bypass/default; transient session unreadable	PASS	Preserved in R2-B B7; warn-mode risk is not overclaimed as globally fail-closed.
CAV-6: prior combined execution report metadata typo carried, not patched	PASS	Preserved as documentary caveat; no prior-report patch performed.

R1-K Block Audit

Block	Contract complete?	Bad-input rejection valid?	Verdict	Issue
K1 KG runner gate	Yes	Yes: owner missing / DRY_RUN / execute disabled keeps NO_GO and never auto-clears	PASS	None
K2 KG DOT contract	Yes	Yes: no contract / invalid mode remains DRY_RUN, no promotion	PASS	None
K3 Provenance source recovery	Yes	Yes conceptually: missing S167H / unverifiable Directus relation returns SOURCE_RECOVERY_REQUIRED and invents no SoT	PASS_WITH_CAVEAT	Built behavior not runtime-verified because block is missing; packet labels this as conceptual.
K4 Edge provenance tagging	Yes	Yes conceptually: SoT absent / OCC conflict no-ops or rejects blind update, no invented provenance	PASS_WITH_CAVEAT	Built behavior not runtime-verified because block is missing; Owner-gated future write only.
K5 Quarantine decision	Yes	Yes conceptually: no provenance produces quarantine decision only, no edge mutation without Owner gate	PASS_WITH_CAVEAT	Quarantine lane absent today; packet does not authorize mutation.
K6 KG quality / explainability log	Yes	Yes: no explanation becomes read-only finding, no auto-fix	PASS	None
K7 Qdrant / vector separation	Yes	Yes: vector-as-provenance rejected as category error	PASS	None

R1-K challenge result: the packet does not convert DB-side preflight/config evidence into process-log proof. It also does not treat Qdrant/vector data as provenance and does not make K3 recovery into K4 backfill.

R2-B Block Audit

Block	Contract complete?	Bad-input rejection valid?	Verdict	Issue
B1 Birth registration	Yes	Yes: invalid identity / no governance role never certifies and never fakes inspect stamps	PASS	None
B2 Inspect producer	Yes	Yes conceptually: missing identity fields reject/mark failed, never fake stamps, never certify	PASS_WITH_CAVEAT	Producer not built; channel remains later TD-prep decision, correctly kept inside block.
B3 Inspect result contract	Yes	Yes: partial inspect result remains incomplete and cannot drive B4 certification	PASS	None
B4 Certify consumer	Yes	Yes: incomplete inspect_* leaves certified=false	PASS	None
B5 Backlog handling	Yes	Yes conceptually: no Owner approval / no scope bound no-ops; no mass shortcut	PASS_WITH_CAVEAT	Backlog handler not built; expected rejection only, no runtime test.
B6 Stamp mapping	Yes	Yes: net-new stamp columns rejected as parallel SSOT	PASS	None
B7 GUC / gate policy	Yes	Yes: warn-to-block without standing B2 rejects and remains warning	PASS_WITH_CAVEAT	Warn-mode is a carried fail-open substrate risk; packet correctly avoids calling it globally fail-closed.

R2-B challenge result: the packet names the 2026-03-21 fused INSERT as the anti-pattern and does not reauthorize it. B7 is acceptable only because it is framed as safest relative to the missing producer, not as a global fail-closed state.

LEGO Separation Audit

Check	Verdict	Issue
R1-K does not redesign B-blocks	PASS	R1-K confines itself to K1-K7 and references only external S-gates.
R2-B does not redesign K-blocks	PASS	R2-B confines itself to B1-B7 and references KG only as a cross-package isolation guard.
No hidden combined mega-packet	PASS	Four files total; both execution reports state no fifth combined packet.
Shared S1/S2/S5/S6/S7/S8 referenced only as external gates	PASS	Shared gates are consumed as contracts, not redesigned or materialized.
No hidden shared write surface at design tier	PASS	Convergence is only through Owner-gated S1 and materialization/source gates S5/S6, not reached by design-only packets.
No mega-registry / mega-graph / mega-birth pipeline	PASS	Anti-mega rules are explicit; blocks remain isolated through named studs.
Soft boundaries kept split	PASS_WITH_CAVEAT	K3/S6, B6/S4, and B1/S3 are close conceptual neighbors; packets keep them separate. Future TD must preserve that split.

Technical-Design Drift Audit

Check	Verdict	Issue
Schema DDL / table definitions	PASS	None found.
Migration plan / SQL mutate plan	PASS	None found.
Function body / worker build plan	PASS	None found.
Cron implementation / producer implementation	PASS	R2-D2 channel is explicitly deferred as future TD-prep.
Quarantine implementation / provenance backfill mechanics	PASS	K5/K4 remain conceptual and Owner-gated.
Rollback script / exact remediation commands	PASS	Only rollback boundaries are defined; no script/commands.
Runtime execution steps	PASS	No runtime action authorized or performed.

Future Write / Owner-Gate Audit

Future action	Verdict	Issue
R1-K dot:kg owner assignment	PASS	Forbidden now; requires Owner/D32.
R1-K KG contract extension	PASS	Forbidden now; requires Owner/D32.
R1-K contract DRY_RUN to REAL_RUN promotion	PASS	Forbidden now; requires Owner/D32.
R1-K five KG gate clears	PASS	Forbidden now; must remain ordered and master switches last.
R1-K S167H source recovery	PASS	Forbidden now; out-of-band Owner-controlled recovery.
R1-K provenance backfill	PASS	Forbidden now; requires SoT, S5, and Owner/D32.
R1-K quarantine lane build	PASS	Forbidden now; conceptual only.
R1-K KG quality writers	PASS	Forbidden now.
R1-K KG materialization	PASS	Forbidden now; S5 dependencies remain open.
R2-B standing inspect producer build	PASS	Forbidden now; channel decision deferred.
R2-B backlog pass	PASS	Forbidden now; no mass shortcut.
R2-B inspect_* writes	PASS	Forbidden now.
R2-B certified=true beyond existing consumer	PASS	Forbidden now.
R2-B stamp/canonical materialization	PASS	Forbidden now; S5/S6 gates remain open.
R2-B GUC warn-to-block flip	PASS	Forbidden now; must wait for standing B2 and Owner/D32.
R2-B transient GUC confirmation	PASS	Not done here; read-only/out-of-band if Owner-controlled.
R2-B D0-G source recovery	PASS	Forbidden now; Owner-controlled source recovery.
R2-B producer owner assignment	PASS	Forbidden now; requires Owner/D32.

Primary Review Questions

1. Are the four files valid block-contract deliverables? yes, with caveats.
2. Are R1-K and R2-B truly separate? yes.
3. Was a hidden combined mega-packet avoided? yes.
4. Does R1-K cover K1-K7 completely? yes.
5. Does R2-B cover B1-B7 completely? yes.
6. Does every block have explicit contract fields? yes.
7. Does every block have bad-input / invalid-state rejection behavior? yes, with missing-block behavior marked conceptual where appropriate.
8. Does every block have safe failure mode? yes.
9. Do the packets stay below technical-design altitude? yes.
10. Do the packets avoid implementation details? yes.
11. Are future writes still Owner-gated and forbidden? yes.
12. Do the packets avoid automatic next-package start? yes.
13. Is further Claude patch needed before acceptance? no.

Next-Step Decision

• Are the block-contract packets accepted? yes, as design-only block-contract packets with caveats.
• Is Owner selection required before TD-prep package? yes.
• Is write-enabled remediation authorized now? no.
• Is technical design authorized now? no.
• Recommended next action: Owner chooses whether to proceed to a narrower design-only TD-prep package, and chooses exact scope: selected K-blocks, selected B-blocks, or a strictly bounded parallel package. No automatic TD or remediation follows from this review.

Final Recommendation

• Further Claude patch needed? no.
• Owner can use these packets for choosing next TD-prep block? yes, with the caveats retained.
• Default next action: Owner decision on the exact next design-only TD-prep scope.
• Do not implement confirmation: do not implement, do not mutate runtime, do not run DDL/DML, do not write TD, do not resolve blockers, do not create current corpus, and do not treat engineering PASS as authority PASS.
