RS5B-PATCH1-05 — Decision Packet — 2026-06-21

Macro: RS5B-PATCH1 · Deliverable: 05 of 7 · consolidated. Verdict: RS5B_PATCH1_READY_FOR_GPT_REVIEW (not forced). Gate: REGISTRATION_HOLD · REGISTRATION_CAN_PROCEED = NO · 0 runtime mutations. PASS level: design-review-ready / engineering-design only — not authority/implementation/runtime/registration PASS.

1. One-screen summary

dimension	result
Verdict	RS5B_PATCH1_READY_FOR_GPT_REVIEW
Scope	narrow correction of RS5B-05 item 5 plus dependent shorthand clarification in RS5B-03/05; additive; does NOT overwrite RS5B; does NOT reopen RS5A-PATCH4 quorum/G02 or any other accepted semantics
Defect	RS5B-05 item 5: "effect_identity … kept out of the authorization binding" → SUPERSEDED_BY_RS5B_PATCH1 ([[01-source-and-defect-map]])
Corrected contract	effect_identity business-only (authority excluded); authorization_binding_digest includes effect_identity and binds it to the authorization envelope ([[02-corrected-effect-identity-and-authorization-binding-contract]])
Impact map	one direct SUPERSEDED phrase + two minor shorthand corrections (RS5B-03 Model D and RS5B-05 item name); all nine RS5B directory files plus rollup scanned; other occurrences OK ([[03-rs5b-document-impact-map-and-superseded-wording]])
Adversarial self-check	BI-E1..BI-E7 + 1 self-trap; no invalid input produces PASS/digest/seal ([[04-codex-style-self-check-and-bad-inputs]])
Source confirmation	RS4A-PATCH2-02 effect-identity source found & read full — no NEEDS_SOURCE_CONFIRMATION
New reject codes (made explicit)	AUTHORIZATION_BINDING_MISSING_EFFECT, EFFECT_IDENTITY_IMPURE (both already implicit in RS4A-PATCH2)
Registration gate	REGISTRATION_HOLD retained; CAN_PROCEED = NO
Single next step	GPT reviews RS5B-PATCH1 → on accept, Codex; the corrected item 5 carries into RS5B

2. The correction in one line

The real separation is authority-out-of-effect_identity (purity), not effect_identity-out-of-the-binding. authorization_binding_digest binds the pure effect_identity to owner/scope/approval/quorum/canonical-principal/nonce/window/artifact/U3-status-audit/founding-authority references.

3. Why RS5B_PATCH1_READY_FOR_GPT_REVIEW (HOLD/REJECT tested and rejected)

stop state	applies?	why not
RS5B_PATCH1_HOLD_EFFECT_BINDING_STILL_AMBIGUOUS	no	the corrected contract is unambiguous (PATCH1-02 §4 two-separations table); BI-E1..E7 all fail-closed
RS5B_PATCH1_HOLD_SOURCE_CONFIRMATION_MISSING	no	RS4A-PATCH2-02 found and read full
RS5B_PATCH1_REJECT_SCOPE_DRIFT	no	only the contradiction patched; no package-wide rewrite; RS5A-PATCH4 not reopened
RS5B_PATCH1_REJECT_RUNTIME_MUTATION	no	0 mutations; KB-only
RS5B_PATCH1_REJECT_AUTHORITY_OVERCLAIM	no	non-overclaim guard (PATCH1-02 §6); BI-E7 rejects any design→authority upgrade

4. Must-not-do held

No runtime mutation; no DDL/DML; no Owner/scope/principal-registry/APR/register_dot/approval/handler created; no registrar/validator patch; no RS-VALIDATOR; no implement/register/activate; REGISTRATION_HOLD not cleared; REGISTRATION_CAN_PROCEED not asserted; RS5A-PATCH4 quorum/G02 not reopened; effect_identity not made to include the authorization envelope; authorization_binding_digest not made to omit effect_identity; design PASS not converted to authority PASS; no mega-registry/graph/birth pipeline.

5. Carried blockers

Unchanged from RS5B: G2–G7 + STATUS_DOMAIN_NOT_DB_ENFORCED + U3_PARTIAL_UNIQUE_SURFACE_ABSENT + OWNER_MINT_PATH_FAIL_CLOSED + QUORUM_EFFECT_BINDING_INSUFFICIENT + QUORUM_APPROVER_IDENTITY_UNVERIFIED + BOOTSTRAP_AUTHORITY_UNRESOLVED + CANONICAL_PRINCIPAL_SURFACE_REQUIRED_NOT_PRESENT. No new blocker. The two new reject codes are clarifications of RS4A-PATCH2 semantics, not new gaps. PATCH4 caveat carried: nine fixtures CQ01–CQ09; no PATCH5.

6. Single next step

GPT reviews RS5B-PATCH1 (this package only). On accept → Codex review. The corrected RS5B-05 item-5 wording (PATCH1-02 §5) is authoritative and carries into RS5B by reference. Residual ⇒ RS5B-PATCH2. Then the unchanged RS5B next step resumes: GPT/Codex review of RS5B → separately-authorized P2 lane under Chairman authority. REGISTRATION_HOLD retained throughout.
