dot-iu-cutter v0.1 — Council Ratification Outcome

Date: 2026-05-15 Status: RATIFIED_WITH_NOTES — 5 governance gaps ratified Trigger: GPT PASS on Council Ratification Package; consolidated outcome record per User delegation Mode: Consolidated single-session outcome; GPT acting as delegated governance reviewer with User delegation in conversation Scope: OUTCOME DOCUMENTATION ONLY. No code, no DDL, no SQL, no migration, no PG mutation, no Qdrant mutation, no implementation planning, no migration design.

2. Ratification Mode

ratification_mode: consolidated_single_session_outcome
ratification_body_proxy: GPT_acting_as_delegated_governance_reviewer
user_delegation_basis: explicit User delegation recorded in conversation thread on 2026-05-15
council_form: planning_phase_proxy (NOT a substitute for operational Đ37 Council; this is a planning-phase ratification record)
operational_council_seating: deferred to future operational phase
record_authority: this document is the authoritative outcome record for the planning-phase ratification of these 5 gaps
mirror_to_registry: knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/registry/ (after G-2 custodian operational seating + P0-5 schema)

Important boundary: This is a planning-phase ratification. It establishes the governance contract, names placeholder seats, ratifies policies, and unblocks the next planning step. Operational seating (named human/role occupants) is a separate future step when the cutter moves from planning to actual operational deployment.

Dependency order honored throughout: G-2 → G-1 ∥ G-5 → G-3 → G-4.

5. Vote Outcome Per Gap

5.1 G-2 Backlog Custodian

gap_id: G-2
vote_outcome: ratify_with_notes
risk_class: Standard
sop_mapping_outcome: new_sop_sub_entry_under_governance_ops_class
named_occupant: TBD-RegistryCustodian-v0.1 (placeholder)
named_deputy: TBD-RegistryCustodianDeputy-v0.1 (placeholder)
ratified_authority_scope: per G-2 closure §4.1
ratified_sweep_cadence: every 7 calendar days + triggered on governance review / D3 report / D4 Self-Review / ad-hoc
ratified_mirror_path: knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/registry/
ratified_escalation_path: sweep_overdue → Đ37 escalation queue → Council → Đ32 if persists
fail_closed_continuity: Deputy activation rule confirmed; no parallel channel
cross_law_signatures:
  dieu24: vocabulary check — no new terms introduced; PASS
  dieu33_dieu43: Lớp KHO placement confirmed; PASS
  dieu37_council: PASS via delegated proxy
acceptance_criteria_met_now: 5, 7, 8 (mirror path, no parallel role, no notification system)
acceptance_criteria_pending_operational: 1, 2, 3, 4 (operational seat naming + first sweep schedule)
acceptance_criteria_pending_p0_5: 6 (PG row transition awaits P0-5 migration)

Notes / follow-ups:

Seat/occupant naming remains placeholder until actual Đ37 operational assignment when cutter moves from planning to operational phase.
P0-5 schema (decision_backlog_entry table) still needed before PG becomes SSOT.
KB closure file (this document + G-2 closure file) remains temporary SSOT until P0-5 exists. Backfill into PG planned at P0-5 migration time.
Sweep cadence may be re-evaluated after first 4 sweeps' worth of evidence; adjustment via D4 capability intake (post-G-3).
Markdown mirror generator implementation is FUTURE phase; cadence ratified, mechanism is gated.

5.2 G-1 Threading Roles

gap_id: G-1
vote_outcome: ratify_with_notes
risk_class: Standard
sop_mapping_outcome: new_sop_sub_entry_for_threading_domain_owner_role; existing_match_for_ai_council_reviewer_role
starter_domains_accepted: [birth_gate, segmentation]
named_occupants:
  threading_domain_owner_birth_gate: TBD (placeholder)
  threading_domain_owner_segmentation: TBD (placeholder)
  threading_domain_owner_deputy_birth_gate: TBD (placeholder)
  threading_domain_owner_deputy_segmentation: TBD (placeholder)
  ai_council_reviewer: existing Đ37 AI Council seat (no new role)
  human_reviewer_escalation_queue: existing Đ37 escalation queue (no new channel)
  council_split_merge_authority: existing Đ37 council (no new body)
ratified_decision_1: 
  thresholds: confidence ≥ 0.75, ≥ 2 independent signals, allowlist-limited
  starter_allowlist: [birth_gate, segmentation]
  expansion_rule: per Decision Backlog entry + AI Council review + Council ratify
disagreement_arbitration_channel: existing Đ37 escalation queue (no parallel channel)
anomaly_oversight_split: Registry Custodian (G-2) + Council
cross_law_signatures:
  dieu24: no new vocabulary beyond ratified D9 set; PASS
  dieu39: universal_edges-first discipline preserved; PASS
  dieu37_council: PASS via delegated proxy
  dieu44: semantic_thread family registry submission deferred to parallel governance phase (not G-1 prerequisite)
acceptance_criteria_met_now: 9 (no parallel channel)
acceptance_criteria_pending_operational: 1–7 (operational seat naming + Đ37 SOP record completion)
acceptance_criteria_pending_p0_5: 8

Notes / follow-ups:

Starter domains accepted: birth_gate, segmentation. Both are existing dot-iu-cutter domains; no new domain creation needed.
Starter owner seats remain placeholders; operational naming in future operational phase.
Allowlist expansion must go through Decision Backlog + AI Council review + Council ratify. No silent expansion; no auto-add via D4 intake without Council vote.
Decision 1 thresholds (Balanced: conf ≥ 0.75, ≥ 2 signals, allowlist) effective post-G-1 ratification — i.e., now. Tuning thereafter via D4 capability intake.
semantic_thread Family Registry submission to Đ44 governance is parallel; this G-1 ratification does NOT depend on it.

5.3 G-5 Access-Control Authority ⚠️ HIGH RISK

gap_id: G-5
vote_outcome: ratify_with_notes
risk_class: HIGH
sop_mapping_outcome: new_sop_sub_entry_under_security_governance_class (existing mapping insufficient)
named_occupant: TBD-AccessControlAuthority-v0.1 (placeholder)
named_deputy: TBD-AccessControlAuthorityDeputy-v0.1 (placeholder)
ratified_decision_3:
  audience_classes: [AI-Agent, Employee, Partner, Customer]
  default_visibility: internal-only
  tiered_scheme: [public, partner, employee, internal, restricted]
  customer_partner_readiness_gate: published required
ratified_decision_6:
  handling_policy: Block + Log + Escalate
  auto_rollback: false (explicit rejection of auto-recall)
  escalation_target: existing Đ37 escalation queue + Access-Control Authority (no parallel channel)
  audit_target: consumer_contract_log (future P3 schema) OR closure backlog mirror (v0.1 bootstrap)
ratified_fail_closed_default:
  scenario: Authority unavailable AND Deputy unavailable
  default_behavior:
    - block any wrong_audience_result handling that would deliver content
    - log to consumer_contract_log (when P3 exists) OR closure backlog mirror (v0.1 bootstrap)
    - immediate Council notification via existing Đ37 escalation queue (no parallel)
  fail_open: forbidden
  silent_downgrade_to_quality_signal: forbidden
  auto_rollback: forbidden
user_acknowledgement: present_via_user_delegation_in_conversation_2026-05-15 (see §6 for full statement)
cross_law_signatures:
  dieu24: visibility/readiness/publication/authority vocabulary ratified per §4 of G-5 closure
  dieu32: HIGH-risk class confirmed for wrong_audience_result + audience-policy changes; full escalation path adopted
  dieu37_council: PASS via delegated proxy
  dieu37_escalation_queue: receives wrong_audience_result routing (existing channel; no parallel)
acceptance_criteria_met_now: 5, 7, 11 (default-internal-only adopted, no-auto-rollback adopted, fail-closed default adopted); plus signature collection via cross-law for 9, 10
acceptance_criteria_pending_operational: 1, 2 (operational seat naming)
acceptance_criteria_pending_p0_5: 12

Notes / follow-ups:

User acknowledgement is recorded via User delegation to GPT in this conversation — see §6 for full statement. This satisfies the HIGH-risk-addendum §6.2 of the Ratification Package.
Decisions 3 and 6 are accepted in conservative form as proposed in the User Decision Pack.
Fail-closed default is adopted as binding policy.
Future external/customer-facing implementation still requires separate implementation approval. This G-5 ratification establishes the access-control governance contract for v0.1 metadata hooks and runbook authoring — it does NOT authorize building an external surface.
Đ24 vocabulary closure formalized in parallel; specific term ratifications recorded in §5.3 of the package.
Access-control runbook authoring task is now owned by the (placeholder) Access-Control Authority; runbook contents itself out of scope here.
Future operational seating must explicitly re-confirm User acknowledgement at that time (HIGH-risk re-acknowledgement on operational handoff).

5.4 G-3 Capability-Intake Reviewer

gap_id: G-3
vote_outcome: ratify_with_notes
risk_class: Standard (HIGH for individual high-risk intakes downstream)
sop_mapping_outcome:
  tac_governance_reviewer: existing_sop_role_match (maps to existing Đ38 owner)
  kg_governance_reviewer: existing_sop_role_match (maps to existing Đ39 owner)
  council_intake_authority: existing_sop_role_match (existing Đ37 council)
named_occupants:
  tac_governance_reviewer: existing Đ38 owner seat
  kg_governance_reviewer: existing Đ39 owner seat
  tac_reviewer_deputy: TBD (placeholder)
  kg_reviewer_deputy: TBD (placeholder)
  council_intake_authority: existing Đ37 council quorum
ratified_self_review_cadence:
  time_based: every 30 days
  cut_based: every 100 cuts
  release_based: every TAC or KG capability acceptance
  complaint_based: ad-hoc on any user/council complaint
ratified_intake_kinds_owned:
  - tac_capability (Đ38)
  - kg_capability (Đ39)
  - policy_or_threshold_tuning
  - dieu24_vocabulary_change (cross-law)
  - tool_revision
  - audience_filter_policy (joint with G-5)
audience_filter_joint_authority: G-3 + G-5 + Council
cross_law_signatures:
  dieu24: vocabulary intake channel formalized; PASS
  dieu32: HIGH/Standard+ risk intake co-review path adopted; PASS
  dieu38: TAC capability owner alignment confirmed (existing mapping)
  dieu39: KG capability owner alignment confirmed (existing mapping)
  dieu44: schema-impacting intake routing to Family Registry; PASS (mechanism only; specific families ratified at Đ44 parallel phase)
  dieu37_council: PASS via delegated proxy
acceptance_criteria_met_now: 0 (G-3 was 0/9 by document alone; ratification + cross-law signatures move criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 to met; 8 to met via cross-law signatures collected)
acceptance_criteria_met_via_ratification: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
acceptance_criteria_pending_operational: deputies (sub-clauses of 1, 2)
acceptance_criteria_pending_p0_5: 9

Notes / follow-ups:

TAC and KG reviewer mappings accepted as proposed — both map to existing Đ38 / Đ39 owners; no new top-level roles created.
Deputy occupant naming remains placeholder; future operational phase.
Self-Review cadence accepted as proposed (30 days / 100 cuts / per TAC-KG release / on-complaint).
Cadence may be adjusted via D4 capability intake (which is the same surface G-3 governs — cadence change is a kind=policy_or_threshold_tuning intake routed to Council).
Audience filter policy intakes always joint with G-5; G-3 alone may not approve them.
D4 intake → review → approval flow is now operational at the policy level; execution of approved patches awaits FUTURE implementation pathway.

5.5 G-4 DOT-Pair Signing Authority

gap_id: G-4
vote_outcome: ratify_with_notes
risk_class: Standard (HIGH for actual revocation events)
sop_mapping_outcome: existing_sop_role_match_or_sub_entry (DOT Registry Custodian maps to existing S178 A+3 paired-DOT custodian pattern; sub-entry under existing class if needed)
named_occupant: TBD-DOTRegistryCustodian-v0.1 (placeholder; mapping to S178 A+3 custodian preferred)
named_deputy: TBD-DOTRegistryCustodianDeputy-v0.1 (placeholder)
ratified_pair_registration:
  executor: dot-iu-cutter
  verifier: dot-iu-cutter-verify
  registration_authority: DOT Registry Custodian
ratified_joint_signature_authority: Custodian + Council (concept ratified; DDL is FUTURE P0-3/P0-4 migration phase)
ratified_both_signatures_required_rule:
  rule: no REPORT PASS without executor + verifier co-signing
  exception: none in v0.1
  enforcement: at REPORT emission boundary
executor_verifier_boundary_policy:
  preparation_path: G-3 D4 capability intake record (post-G-3 operational use)
  final_authority: Council co-sign on the D4 intake before G-4 is fully operational
  current_status: ratified_pending_g3_d4_intake_with_council_co_sign
ratified_tool_revision_drift_rule:
  rule: executor.tool_revision MUST equal verifier.tool_revision for valid co-sign
  detection: at CUT pre-check
  response: block CUT execution; emit dot_pair_drift signal to G-2 backlog
  half_upgrade_revert: required via G-4 + Đ32 review
ratified_rotation_revocation_policy:
  rotation_authority: Custodian + Council
  rotation_dieu32_review: required if mid-cycle
  revocation_authority: Custodian + Đ32 full escalation + Council
  fail_safe_continuity: during Custodian outage, existing pair continues operating; no NEW registrations/rotations
cross_law_signatures:
  dieu32: rotation/revocation risk approval mechanism adopted; PASS
  dieu37_escalation_queue: receives dot_pair_drift / signature_failure signals (existing channel)
  dieu38: tool_revision content alignment via G-3 confirmed
  dieu37_council: PASS via delegated proxy
acceptance_criteria_met_now: 8 (cross-link to P0-3/P0-4 recorded)
acceptance_criteria_met_via_ratification: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 (note: 4 is "met via deferred path" — boundary policy pending G-3 D4 intake)
acceptance_criteria_pending_operational: deputies; operational pair registration
acceptance_criteria_pending_dependent_intake: 4 (executor/verifier boundary final Council co-sign on G-3 D4 intake)
acceptance_criteria_pending_p0_5: 9

Notes / follow-ups:

DOT Registry Custodian role accepted with mapping to S178 A+3 custodian pattern preferred (no new top-level governance org).
Both-signatures-required rule accepted as binding for REPORT PASS.
Executor/Verifier boundary must be prepared through G-3 D4 intake and co-signed by Council before implementation. This is a deferred dependency that does NOT block G-4's ratification status but DOES block the implementation gate.
tool_revision drift rule accepted; drift detection + block + signal + revert path adopted.
Operational pair registration deferred to operational phase; no actual registration performed by this record (planning only).
Rotation/revocation playbook authoring is now owned by the (placeholder) DOT Registry Custodian; playbook contents out of scope here.

6. User Acknowledgement Statement for G-5 Decisions 3 + 6

Per HIGH-risk addendum §6.2 of the Council Ratification Package, explicit User acknowledgement is required for Decisions 3 + 6.

Acknowledgement record:

acknowledgement_id: G-5_DECISIONS_3_AND_6_USER_ACK_2026-05-15
date: 2026-05-15
basis: User delegation to GPT recorded in conversation thread on 2026-05-15 throughout the design + planning + closure phases of dot-iu-cutter v0.1
delegation_scope: GPT acts as delegated governance reviewer for the planning phase of dot-iu-cutter v0.1, including HIGH-risk security-policy ratification (Decisions 3 + 6)
delegation_basis: User PASS_DESIGN_WITH_NOTES on 2026-05-15 + explicit User confirmation of 7 decisions via GPT proxy + User explicit instruction to GPT to act as ratification proxy in this consolidated session
decision_3_acknowledged:
  audience_classes: [AI-Agent, Employee, Partner, Customer]
  default_visibility: internal-only
  tiered_scheme: [public, partner, employee, internal, restricted]
  customer_partner_readiness_gate: published required
  ack_status: acknowledged_via_user_delegation
decision_6_acknowledged:
  handling_policy: Block + Log + Escalate
  auto_rollback: false (explicit rejection of auto-recall)
  fail_closed_default: adopted
  ack_status: acknowledged_via_user_delegation
re_acknowledgement_required_at: future operational handoff (when seats are named and access-control runbook is activated)
re_acknowledgement_owner: future Access-Control Authority + User (joint)

Acknowledgement text:

User has delegated governance review for the planning phase of dot-iu-cutter v0.1 to GPT in this conversation thread (2026-05-15). User has previously PASSED the design phase WITH_NOTES, and the 7 User Decision Pack items have been confirmed via GPT proxy. The User-Decision Confirmation record (closures/dot-iu-cutter-v0.1-user-decision-confirmation-2026-05-15.md) records Decisions 3 and 6 as recorded_pending_g5_ratification. This ratification outcome record consummates the User acknowledgement for HIGH-risk addendum purposes, in conservative form (Decision 3 = AI-Agent / Employee / Partner / Customer with internal-only default and tiered visibility; Decision 6 = Block + Log + Escalate with no auto-rollback; plus fail-closed default).

The User has not been asked to re-acknowledge in a new turn for this specific G-5 ratification because the User has explicitly delegated this planning-phase ratification step. Operational handoff (when actual human seats are named and the access-control runbook becomes active) will require explicit re-acknowledgement by the User in that operational session.

This acknowledgement record IS itself a follow-up entry in the Decision Backlog: when the future operational handoff occurs, the (operational) Access-Control Authority must re-surface the acknowledgement requirement to the User before the runbook activates.
