Lane: RS-TKT-1 — Phase 1 TKT Base Design Package (design-only) Date: 2026-06-22 Gate: REGISTRATION_HOLD · REGISTRATION_CAN_PROCEED = NO · 0 runtime mutations Authority: NON_AUTHORITY · may_gate=false · decision_effect=NONE

Describes the shape a future CLI could take. It does not implement a CLI. Every command shown is a pseudo-command — not runnable, not copy-pasteable into a shell.

---

1. Binding statements

A future CLI is Phase 2+ only.
NO CLI is created in Phase 1.
NO runtime execution is authorized.
The pseudo-commands below are illustrations of a shape, not instructions to run anything.

2. Pseudo-command shape (NON-EXECUTABLE — angle-brackets are placeholders, leading "pseudo>" is not a prompt)

pseudo> tkt-base check --packet <inert_packet_dir> --report-out <authorized_output_dir>
        # would run L0→L1→L2→L3 over INERT fixtures and emit result.json + result.md (advisory).

pseudo> tkt-base check --packet <inert_packet_dir> --rs-profile <stage> --report-out <authorized_output_dir>
        # would additionally layer the RS pre-Codex profile (08) for an RS-stage packet.

pseudo> tkt-base negatives --catalog <bad_input_catalog> --report-out <authorized_output_dir>
        # would run the negative fixtures (12/17) and assert every one fails closed.

These are deliberately written as pseudo> lines with placeholder <…> operands so they cannot be pasted and run. There is no real executable named tkt-base in Phase 1.

3. IO contract (paper)

INPUTS (read-only):
  --packet <dir>        : an INERT packet fixture (no live system state); never the subject under test running.
  --rs-profile <stage>  : optional; selects RS5A/RS5B-stage rules (scope_class gating, 08).
  --catalog <file>      : the bad-input catalog for negative runs.
OUTPUTS (write-only to an AUTHORIZED output folder, Phase 2+):
  result.json           : machine verdict (13).
  result.md             : human verdict (13).
  (raw logs go to the no-vector root, NEVER the vector KB — 07/14.)
EXIT CODES:
  namespaced only (no bare authority meaning): a nonzero exit never erases a forbidden token/artifact (04).
FORBIDDEN OUTPUTS (any ⇒ the run itself fails closed under 04):
  any seal/cert/authority-digest; any GRANT event; CAN_PROCEED=YES; any L4/L5/L6 PASS token.

4. What the CLI may never do (even in Phase 2+)

- execute the subject under test (Phase 4 + Call Contract only);
- write PG / Directus / registry / system_issues;
- create Owner / scope / APR / register_dot;
- clear REGISTRATION_HOLD or set CAN_PROCEED=YES;
- emit a seal / cert / authority digest;
- claim a semantic / IU / release / implementation / runtime / production PASS.

5. Phase gating of the CLI

Phase 1 : design only — this document. No CLI.
Phase 2 : a runnable read/report inspector MAY exist ONLY after the Owner authorizes an execution surface;
          until then it stops at HOLD_NO_EXEC_SURFACE.
Phase 4 : the only phase that may execute the subject under test, and only after an approved Call Contract + sandbox.

No part of this file authorizes Phase 2 or any execution. NOT_IMPLEMENTED · NOT_AUTHORIZED_FOR_RUNTIME.
