1. Verdict

v0_4_cutter_agent_code_review: PASS
commit: 689e53e
agent_revision_needed: false
defects_found: none
code_scope: dry_run_safe_in_memory_skeleton
ready_for_next_design_cycle: credential_cycle_design
ready_for_credential_execution: false
ready_for_real_DB_adapter: false
ready_for_production_CUT_VERIFY: false

The cutter-agent skeleton is accepted as the first Tier 2 runtime-code baseline.

4. OD Implementation Accepted

OD_1: payload.idempotency_key implemented; scenario_ref excluded
OD_2: canonical_address_alias fully deferred; alias-free stub
OD_3: two principal lanes represented: cutter_exec / cutter_verify
OD_4: local/test signal only
OD_5: append-only chained retry implemented in memory
OD_6: CUT leaves cut_change_set.verifier_signature_id NULL; VERIFY owns verifier signature
OD_SM_1: compare-and-set modeled
OD_SM_2: S5/S7 non-persistable enforced
OD_SM_3: sweep writes sweep_log + history
OD_CR_1: no secret minted; future VPS env pattern documented

---

5. Accepted Limitations

limitations:
  - in_memory_storage_only
  - no_real_DB_adapter
  - canonicalization_placeholder_HIGH_risk_deferred
  - signing_stub_non_cryptographic_is_production_false
  - helper_lineage_field_pending_schema_backed_adapter
  - loose_FK_composite_PK_modeling
  - single_process_CAS_only
  - local_test_signal_only

These are accepted for the current skeleton baseline and must be carried into the next cycles.

6. Gate Effect

code_authoring_cycle: closed_PASS
credential_cycle_design: may_open_after_explicit_prompt
credential_creation_execution: still_blocked
real_DB_adapter_authoring: still_blocked_until_credential_strategy_review
production_dry_run: still_blocked
production_CUT_VERIFY: still_blocked

---

7. Next Recommended Cycle

GPT selects the next cycle:

next_cycle: v0_4_credential_cycle_design
reason:
  - code skeleton is accepted
  - real DB adapter cannot safely proceed without writer-principal policy
  - credentials are a prerequisite for PG-backed dry-run
  - execution remains separate and gated

The next task should be design/planning only for cutter_exec and cutter_verify principals, privileges, secret custody, and dry-run credential handling. It should not create roles or secrets yet.

8. Status

Tier_2_code_baseline: ACCEPTED
runtime_execution: NOT_AUTHORIZED
agent_self_advance: prohibited_without_explicit_prompt
