READY-TO-ASSEMBLE-LEGO1-PATCH2 12 — Final Decision — 2026-06-22

Gate: REGISTRATION_HOLD · CAN_PROCEED = NO · 0 runtime mutations · DO NOT IMPLEMENT.

---

Verdict

READY_TO_ASSEMBLE_LEGO1_PATCH2_HOLD_DOT_DIRECTUS_PATH_INCOMPLETE (not forced).

The internal Codex negative review (file 11) returns HOLD; therefore READY is not reported (macro step 5). PATCH2 reproduced every Codex finding from live evidence and corrected the build blueprint, but the C1 executable contracts do not exist and PATCH2 may not create them.

Closure map

Blocker	Status	Classification
B1 DOT/Directus path	corrected spec; contracts absent	PREPARATION_GAP
B2 manifest/resolver	broken join dropped; deterministic R_C1	CLOSED → AUTHORITY (Gate-B curation)
B3 auth verifier	exact predicate, status='active', set-equality	CLOSED → AUTHORITY_MISSING_ONLY
B4 atomic consume handler	governed handler specified; absent	PREPARATION_GAP
B5 atomicity/idempotency/rollback	model specified; handlers/table absent	PREPARATION_GAP
B6 executable tests	T16/T18/T20 runnable; harness absent	PREPARATION_GAP
B7 PF5/PF7/PF8	PF5 fixed; C1 preflight view absent	PREPARATION_GAP
B8 cser/hash/binding	real bytes+digest+recompute	CLOSED
B9 evidence/readback	read-only packet executable	CLOSED (AFTER-capture depends on B1)
B10 blast-radius	truthful map + shared-config caveat	CLOSED
B11 overclaim	retracted; scoped claims	CLOSED
B12 internal review	real adversarial A1–A22	CLOSED (returns HOLD)

Root cause of HOLD: B1 (and the dependent B4/B5/B6/B7) — Codex §5.1 "the executable contract may not [be absent]"; PATCH2 cannot register artifacts under REGISTRATION_HOLD/0-mutation.

Self-check (macro §7)

1 read Codex HOLD directly — yes. 2 reproduced each blocker from live evidence — yes (R1–R12). 3 avoided trusting prior READY — yes. 4 proved DOT/Directus path or exact future contract — exact spec given; artifacts absent → HOLD. 5 eliminated raw SQL authority — yes. 6 C1 identity/version — designed; enforcement artifact absent. 7 manifest/resolver authority+recompute — yes (file 04/09). 8 exact authorization matching — yes (file 05). 9 atomic consume before writes — specified; handler absent. 10 retry/idempotency — specified; table absent. 11 partial failure — specified; handlers absent. 12 rollback no delete/orphan/erase/weaken — yes (design). 13 PF5/PF7/PF8 truthful — yes; C1 preflight view absent. 14 T1–T20 executable enough — partial. 15 cser/hash/binding — yes (CLOSED). 16 evidence/readback — yes. 17 blast-radius corrected — yes. 18 internal negative review A1–A22 — yes. 19 any invalid input → PASS/digest/seal/ready? — no. 20 if yes, HOLD — n/a. 21 distinguished request-auth vs run-now — yes. 22 avoided "dry-run can run now" — yes. 23 avoided claiming Gate B/Chairman grant — yes. 24 REGISTRATION_HOLD retained — yes. 25 CAN_PROCEED=NO — yes. 26 P2/named lane closed — yes. 27 remaining caveats authority/runtime-only? — NO: genuine preparation gaps remain (B1/B4/B5/B6/B7). 28 if any prep gap remains, reject READY — yes → HOLD.

Disposition

• Ready to request dry-run authorization: NO.
• Ready to run dry-run now: NO.
• Remaining blockers: C1 executable contracts (schema DOT, producer/verifier pair, value-admit + auth consume handlers, build-run/compensation, C1 harness, C1 preflight view) must be created and read-back-verifiable; then Gate-B/Chairman grant, runtime flips, owner, executor health, window.
• NEXT: GPT → Codex re-review of this reproduction + corrected blueprint → if accepted, a separately-authorized Gate-B build-prep authorization to register the artifacts (not dry-run authorization yet) → after artifacts exist, the genuine dry-run-authorization-readiness review → residual ⇒ READY_TO_ASSEMBLE_LEGO1-PATCH3.

Boundary attestation

Decision only; no mutation. REGISTRATION_HOLD retained; CAN_PROCEED = NO; 0 runtime mutations.
