2. Package Completeness and Revision Audit

PASS_WITH_CAVEAT. AgentData inventory contains exactly eight files under knowledge/dev/laws-new/reports/rs5b-patch2/, plus the required rollup at knowledge/dev/laws-new/reports/macro-rs5b-patch2-canonical-operation-and-bi-domain-separation-2026-06-21.md.

The package is additive. The nine RS5B documents remain revision 1. The seven RS5B-PATCH1 directory documents retain their previously observed revisions 3/2/4/5/5/3/2 by index/01/02/03/04/05/review-packet order.

The final PATCH2 revisions are 1/1/1/1/1/1/2/1 for index/01/02/03/04/05/06/review-packet, with rollup revision 1. The rollup statement “All revision 1” is inaccurate because PATCH2-06 is revision 2. This is a metadata/readback typo, not a semantic conflict: the revision-2 decision packet contains the same accepted R1/R2 contract and gate posture. Future summaries must quote AgentData metadata, not the stale body sentence.

3. R1 Canonical-Operation Assessment

PASS. PATCH2-02 replaces the general founding formula with:

effect_identity = H(
    protocol_version,
    canonical_operation,
    canonical_target_object_type,
    canonical_target_object_ref,
    canonical_artifact_identity,
    canonical_artifact_hash
)

The general formula does not hardcode operation="register_dot". canonical_operation is defined as the governed action/effect type for the specific act. register_dot is retained only as the register_dot-admission specialization. Founding owner-of-record designation and governance-scope creation are explicitly prohibited from using register_dot.

Authority-only changes do not mint a new business effect. Owner scope/head/policy, approval and quorum evidence, principal references, nonce/window, execution data, and founding_authority_ref remain excluded from effect_identity. The accepted PATCH1 authorization digest remains controlling and continues to include the pure effect_identity; founding_authority_ref remains in that digest, not in U1.

The canonical-operation vocabulary is not presented as a runtime fact. Absence yields CANONICAL_OPERATION_VOCABULARY_REQUIRED_NOT_PRESENT; no default to register_dot, invented vocabulary row, or PASS path is allowed.

4. R2 BI-E1/BI-E6 Domain Assessment

PASS. PATCH2-03 and PATCH2-05 define the controlling discriminator:

P = (effect_identity ∈ authorization_binding_digest input schema)

¬P: Layer 1 fires BI-E6 only and returns AUTHORIZATION_BINDING_MISSING_EFFECT; evaluation stops.
P: Layer 1 passes, BI-E6 cannot fire, and Layer 2 checks whether approval/evidence is bound to that exact effect. Failure returns APPROVAL_NOT_BOUND_TO_EFFECT_IDENTITY.

Digest-shape is evaluated before approval/evidence binding. The two domains are mutually exclusive under the defined classifier. The secondary precedence AUTHORIZATION_BINDING_MISSING_EFFECT < APPROVAL_NOT_BOUND_TO_EFFECT_IDENTITY preserves one canonical result under a weaker overlapping-predicate interpretation.

BI-E1 and BI-E4 safely share APPROVAL_NOT_BOUND_TO_EFFECT_IDENTITY: both are Layer-2 approval-binding failures and do not assign competing codes. BINDING_CHECK_PASS is explicitly necessary-not-sufficient and cannot mean authority, runtime, registration, or activation PASS.

5. Impact Map Assessment

PASS. The impact map correctly:

marks the PATCH1 general operation="register_dot" formula as superseded;
preserves RS4A-PATCH2-02 as the register_dot-specific specialization;
supersedes/refines the old overlapping BI-E1/BI-E6 definitions and table rows;
preserves the accepted authorization_binding_digest field set and binding direction;
leaves the RS5B candidate models and 13-element packet structure untouched;
does not reopen RS5A-PATCH4 quorum, G02, or total-Q-order semantics.

No upstream document was overwritten by this review.

6. Bad-Input and Fail-Closed Assessment

PASS_WITH_CAVEAT. BI-E1 through BI-E7 and OP-BI-1 through OP-BI-4 are design fixtures, not executed tests. Within their declared domains, every listed invalid input has a named fail-closed outcome and none yields a PASS, seal, digest, certificate, authority token, or registration-ready label.

The package’s “oracle is total: every input” wording is accepted only for the explicitly defined contract classifier and its ordered predicates. It is not evidence of totality over arbitrary malformed serialization, missing runtime carriers, null values, parser failures, or implementation behavior. PATCH2-03’s pseudocode is design notation and does not itself implement the BI-E7 PASS-level guard or the OP-BI operation-domain guards. This caveat does not reopen R2 because the required BI-E1/BI-E6 partition and order are deterministic, but it forbids promoting the self-check to executed-test or runtime-proof status.

7. Scope and Gate Assessment

PASS. The reviewed package is KB-only and design-only. This Codex review performed no runtime mutation, DDL/DML, Owner row, scope row, principal registry, APR, register_dot, approval, handler, registrar/validator patch, RS-VALIDATOR work, implementation, registration, activation, or P2 authorization.

Package attestations of “0 runtime mutations” were not independently proven with live runtime reads; this review found no runtime artifact or authorization claim in the package and performed no live write. The accepted result is contract-only.

REGISTRATION_HOLD remains active. REGISTRATION_CAN_PROCEED = NO.

8. Accepted Points

Complete additive package: eight directory files plus one rollup.
R1 closes the general-operation hardcode without weakening U1 purity.
register_dot remains a valid specialization, not a default.
Founding owner designation and scope creation require distinct governed operations.
Authority-only drift cannot mint a new effect.
Vocabulary absence is explicit and fail-closed.
R2 separates BI-E6 shape failure from BI-E1 evidence-binding failure by an ordered binary predicate.
BI-E6 precedes BI-E1 and no declared input receives both codes.
The accepted authorization-digest field set and effect-in-binding direction remain intact.
Design acceptance is not promoted to authority/runtime/registration acceptance.

9. Rejected or Overclaimed Points

Rejected as metadata fact: the rollup’s “All revision 1”; PATCH2-06 is revision 2.
Rejected as runtime proof: design fixtures or pseudocode prove executed classifier behavior.
Rejected as unrestricted totality: “every input” includes arbitrary malformed or implementation-level inputs outside the declared classifier domain.
Not independently verified: historical package attestations of zero runtime mutation; Codex used no live runtime read.
Not authorized: P2, Chairman execution, vocabulary creation, owner/scope creation, implementation, registration, or activation.

10. Final Verdict

VERDICT: ACCEPT_RS5B_PATCH2

The two controlling residuals from NEED_RS5B_PATCH2 are closed at contract level. R1 now uses a governed per-act canonical_operation and fails closed while its vocabulary is absent. R2 now assigns missing-effect shape and approval-to-effect mismatch to ordered, mutually exclusive domains.

Acceptance is narrow: the corrected formula and BI domain definitions may carry forward as contract wording. It does not authorize implementation or resolve any carried registration prerequisite.

Stop state: RS5B_PATCH2_ACCEPTED_CONTRACT_ONLY_REGISTRATION_HOLD.

REGISTRATION_HOLD remains active. REGISTRATION_CAN_PROCEED = NO.

DO NOT IMPLEMENT: Confirmed. No runtime mutation, DDL/DML, Owner/scope/principal/APR/approval/register_dot/handler, registrar/validator patch, RS-VALIDATOR, implementation, registration, activation, P2 authorization, or blocker resolution was performed or authorized.

11. Three Declarations and Compliance

Permanent: business effect identity uses a governed per-act operation; authority drift cannot redefine the business effect.
Mistake-resistant: digest-shape omission is rejected before approval binding, producing one canonical code.
100% automatic: not yet claimed; the package defines implementable contract predicates but provides no executed runtime classifier or governed operation vocabulary.

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 runtime or implementation state changed.
