00 — Sovereign Bootstrap dot-apr-approve — Index

Date: 2026-06-23 Macro: T2 SOVEREIGN BOOTSTRAP DOT-APR-APPROVE ONLY Scope (hard-locked): create ONLY the missing primitive dot-apr-approve + an authenticated approver substrate. Nothing else. Mode this turn: read-only investigation + design-only staging. 0 governed writes. 0 production mutations. before==after.

VERDICT

APR_APPROVAL_BOOTSTRAP_HOLD_NO_AUTHENTICATED_APPROVER_SUBSTRATE

A real, identity-bound dot-apr-approve channel is meaningful only on top of an authenticated approver substrate (each seat holds its own secret). That substrate cannot be made real in this session: only one principal (the operator, via root/SSH/GCP-owner) is present, so any seat tokens generated here would all be held by that one principal — collapsing president + ai_council_1 + ai_council_2 into one principal wearing three hats. That is the quorum-fabrication wall restated at the credential layer, which the macro hard-locks forbid. Per macro §3 ("If authentication cannot be made real, stop"), this is a HOLD, not a build.

Owner decision (this turn)

The owner/president was shown (a) the drafted sovereign bootstrap warrant and (b) the substrate finding, and chose "HOLD + staged package": deliver the full staged design and evidence, make zero production mutations, and provision real independent seats out-of-band before any deploy. The warrant was therefore drafted but deliberately NOT consumed.

Hard locks honored

• APR-0415 not approved, not executed. 0 votes recorded. 0 fabrication. 0 self-approval.
• No manual SQL / Directus approval write. No root/SYNC_SECRET/GCP-owner treated as quorum.
• No W7 deploy/bind. No authorize_build_step.handler_ref binding. No dot-c1-grant-issue register. No grant mint.
• No W1→W9. No C1 dry-run. No Codex. No C2–C7. No production corpus touched. No generic approval framework.
• dot-apr-approve not built, not deployed, not registered — design-only.
