The ten primary directory files and rollup were read from governed sources. The optional read-unblock-audit-digest-2026-06-21.md exists at revision 1 but was not used because source reads were unblocked. No chat summary or local mirror was controlling evidence.
2. Package Completeness
PASS. The required ten primary files exist under knowledge/dev/laws-new/reports/rs5b-closeout-p2-entry/; the macro rollup exists at the required reports-level path. The directory also contains the declared secondary read-unblock digest, bringing inventory count to eleven without replacing a primary source.
The package is additive. No RS5B, PATCH1, PATCH2, or prior Codex document was overwritten by this review.
3. Job A — Consolidated RS5B Closeout
PASS. Closeout-02 and Closeout-03 provide one controlling contract reading:
- PATCH1 supersedes the unsafe “effect_identity kept out of the authorization binding” wording.
- The pure
effect_identityis a required input ofauthorization_binding_digest. - PATCH2 supersedes the general hardcoded
operation="register_dot"formula with per-actcanonical_operation. register_dotremains only the register_dot-specific specialization.- Founding owner designation and scope creation cannot use
register_dot. - Authority-only changes cannot mint a new effect.
- BI-E6 is Layer-1 digest-shape failure; BI-E1 is Layer-2 approval-to-effect failure.
- BI-E6 precedes BI-E1; the declared classifier gives one canonical code.
BINDING_CHECK_PASSremains necessary-not-sufficient.REGISTRATION_HOLDremains active.
The PATCH2 caveats are propagated: revision typo, classifier-scoped totality, design fixtures not executed, no live verification, and no P2/Chairman/runtime authority.
The phrase “P and not-P partition the entire input universe” is accepted only under caveat C2’s well-formed declared classifier domain. It is not runtime-totality proof.
4. P2 Entry-Gate Assessment
NEEDS_PATCH. The future-only scope and non-authorization posture are correct. Requirements R1–R12 are conjunctive in intent; runtime mutation short-circuits; registration, activation, real register_dot, vocabulary rows, registrar/validator changes, and RS-VALIDATOR remain forbidden absent separate authority.
However, the gate sequencing is not yet a stable state machine:
- R12 requires an independent review to accept both the entry-gate design and the specific build plan.
- The all-pass output is named
P2_ENTRY_DESIGN_READY_FOR_INDEPENDENT_REVIEW, although R12’s independent review has already been required to pass. - This closeout package contains no carrier-specific build plan, so acceptance of this package cannot satisfy the plan-specific part of R12.
The contract must split two distinct gates:
- Baseline gate: independent acceptance of the closeout/P2 entry design. Output only permits preparation of a carrier-specific plan.
- P2-open gate: carrier-specific build plan accepted, dependency-safe rollback accepted, exact Chairman authorization recorded, read-only preflight current, and every remaining conjunctive requirement passed.
Until this split exists, no report may infer that accepting the baseline plus a generic Chairman token opens P2.
5. LEGO Carrier Boundary Assessment
FAIL — blocking. Closeout-06 gives every C1–C7 a “rollback” line, but several are destructive actions that do not preserve explicit reference edges or historical evidence:
- C1 vocabulary: “drop/disable the vocabulary contract without touching effect/digest carriers.” C2 explicitly references C1. Dropping C1 can orphan or make existing C2 identities uninterpretable unless versioned historical resolution and dependency handling are defined.
- C3 owner/scope: “revoke/drop a single ownership row independently.” A referenced owner/scope row cannot be dropped independently without resolving dependent bindings, audit history, and prior decisions. Revocation/supersession is not equivalent to deletion.
- C4 artifact hash: “drop a hash record without touching the digest schema.” C2 and durable authorization/effect evidence reference the hash. Destructive removal can invalidate reproducibility and audit.
- C5 policy refs: disabling a referenced policy without a compatibility/supersession rule can leave C2 references unresolved.
- C7 approval carrier: “disable approval-as-a-check” needs a versioned policy transition. It cannot retroactively weaken envelopes or erase evidence for effects authorized under an approval-required mode.
These are not valid independent rollback contracts. “Separate rollback” means a carrier can be reverted or superseded without deleting identities, severing relationships, reducing required metadata, corrupting historical interpretation, or silently changing authority semantics.
R6 and XBI-7 only test whether a rollback plan is present. They do not reject a destructive, dependency-unsafe, or history-erasing plan. Therefore the current XBI set would accept the plans above merely because text labeled “rollback” exists.
This directly contradicts the package’s claim that each carrier is safely rolled back separately. The applicable verdict is REJECT_LEGO_BOUNDARY_INSUFFICIENT.
6. C7 Conditionality Conflict
NEEDS_PATCH. C7 is defined as required only when approval is used. Closeout-06 section 4 then states that all seven carriers are pre-runtime prerequisites that “must exist and PASS before P3.”
Both cannot control simultaneously. The patched contract must state one deterministic rule:
- if
approval_mode = NOT_USED_BY_POLICY, C7 runtime presence is not required, but the governed tagged mode and authority policy must prove why; - if approval is used, C7 must exist and pass before P3.
This must be reflected consistently in C2, R7, gate evaluation, and XBI fixtures.
7. XBI Assessment
PASS for the ten declared inputs; INCOMPLETE for gate acceptance. XBI-1 through XBI-10 each include an input shape, one expected rejection, precedence explanation, “no PASS/seal/digest,” and REJECTED result. RUNTIME_MUTATION_REJECTED correctly short-circuits.
The declared set does not test:
- destructive rollback presented as a valid rollback plan;
- rollback that orphans a C2 reference;
- rollback that erases historical owner/hash/approval evidence;
- C7 omitted under conflicting optional/mandatory rules;
- baseline review acceptance incorrectly treated as plan-specific R12 acceptance.
A patch must add these adversarial cases and an authoritative precedence.
8. Non-Overclaim and Scope
PASS. The package does not itself open P2 or claim runtime proof. It retains:
REGISTRATION_HOLD;REGISTRATION_CAN_PROCEED = NO;- no authority/runtime/implementation/registration/activation PASS;
- no canonical-operation runtime vocabulary;
- no real
register_dot; - no RS-VALIDATOR;
- no inherited approval, registration, or activation authority.
This Codex review performed no runtime mutation, DDL/DML, Owner/scope/APR/approval/handler creation, vocabulary creation, registrar/validator patch, RS-VALIDATOR, implementation, registration, activation, P2 authorization, or blocker resolution.
Package “0 mutations” claims remain attestations, not independently live-verified facts.
9. Accepted Points
- Complete additive package.
- Unambiguous RS5B contract closeout at contract layer.
- All PATCH1/PATCH2 supersessions are carried correctly.
- All five PATCH2 caveats are propagated.
- Future-only P2 intent and registration exclusion are explicit.
- C1–C7 are named as separate conceptual carriers with explicit reference edges.
- Must-not-inherit authority edges are preserved.
- XBI-1–XBI-10 fail closed within their declared domains.
- Runtime mutation has top-priority rejection.
- P2 remains closed and unauthorized.
10. Rejected or Overclaimed Points
- Rejected: each C1–C7 has an adequate rollback merely because a rollback sentence exists.
- Rejected: dropping referenced vocabulary, owner/scope, hash, or evidence records is independent safe rollback.
- Rejected: XBI-7 proves rollback quality; it checks only plan absence.
- Rejected: C7 is simultaneously optional and an unconditional prerequisite.
- Rejected: the R12/all-pass sequence is implementation-independent and unambiguous.
- Not accepted: this closeout acceptance would open P2.
- Not independently verified: package runtime-state and zero-mutation attestations.
11. Required Patch
A narrow closeout patch must:
- replace destructive “drop” rollback language with versioned supersession, compensating transition, or fail-closed disable semantics that preserve IDs, references, metadata, and historical evidence;
- define dependency impact/preconditions and post-rollback invariants for every C1–C7 carrier;
- require rollback validity, not merely rollback-plan presence;
- add XBI fixtures for orphaning, history erasure, authority weakening, and dependent-reference breakage;
- resolve C7 conditionality consistently;
- split baseline-design acceptance from plan-specific P2-open review and rename gate outputs accordingly;
- retain
REGISTRATION_HOLDand authorize no P2/runtime action.
12. Final Verdict
VERDICT: REJECT_LEGO_BOUNDARY_INSUFFICIENT
Job A, the consolidated RS5B contract closeout, is technically acceptable. The combined package cannot be accepted as the future P2 entry-gate baseline because its rollback contracts can destroy referenced state or historical evidence, its oracle does not reject invalid rollback plans, and its P2 review sequence/conditional C7 rule remain ambiguous.
Stop state: RS5B_CLOSEOUT_P2_ENTRY_HOLD_DEPENDENCY_SAFE_ROLLBACK_AND_GATE_SPLIT_REQUIRED.
Single next step: produce a narrow RS5B-CLOSEOUT patch limited to dependency-safe rollback semantics, rollback adversarial coverage, C7 conditionality, and the two-stage review/P2-open gate. Do not reopen the accepted RS5B consolidated contract.
REGISTRATION_HOLD remains active. REGISTRATION_CAN_PROCEED = NO. P2 remains NOT_OPENED and NOT_AUTHORIZED.
DO NOT IMPLEMENT: Confirmed. No runtime mutation, DDL/DML, Owner/scope/principal/APR/approval/register_dot/handler, canonical-operation runtime row, registrar/validator patch, RS-VALIDATOR, implementation, registration, activation, P2 authorization, or blocker resolution was performed or authorized.
13. Three Declarations and Compliance
- Permanent: rollback must preserve stable identities, reference history, and contract interpretation; deletion is not rollback.
- Mistake-resistant: the gate must reject dependency-unsafe rollback plans, not only missing plans.
- 100% automatic: not achieved; the current baseline lacks machine-checkable post-rollback invariants and has an ambiguous review sequence.
Assembly Gate: PG/Directus/Nuxt = N/A; AgentData KB contract-only review. Data flow: direct AgentData reads plus one official Codex report write. OR/TD/handoff updates are not required because no implementation/runtime state changed.
