Verdict

snapshot_capture_authoring_package: PASS_FOR_E1_CONTROLLED_CAPTURE
agent_behavior: PASS_CORRECT
forbidden_respected: true
execution_performed_yet: false
E1_capture_authorized: true
E2_seed_authorized: false

The package correctly implements Option B. GPT approves the E1 controlled capture/freeze execution only. This approval does not authorize source_document/source_document_version seed, DML, dry-run, CUT, VERIFY, or downstream actions.

Approved E1 scope

E1 may do only this:

approved_E1_actions:
  - fetch live Constitution source read-only
  - apply parser_profile nuxt-incomex-portal-constitution-v1
  - compute normalized_content_checksum
  - compute normalized_content_length
  - compute marker counts
  - construct checksum-addressed snapshot artifact path
  - check no existing differing artifact at that path
  - write exactly one snapshot artifact if no collision
  - re-read snapshot artifact
  - rehash BEGIN/END normalized-content region
  - verify artifact metadata matches content region
  - upload E1 execution report
  - STOP

Approved snapshot root:

knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/snapshots/constitution/

Approved filename pattern:

constitution-normalized-<first16_of_normalized_content_checksum>.md

The artifact must include metadata and a strict normalized-content region. The version identity checksum is the SHA-256 of the normalized-content region, not necessarily the whole markdown file.

Mandatory E1 stop conditions

stop_conditions:
  SC1_existing_path_same_content:
    action: do_not_overwrite; report ALREADY_EXISTS_SAME_CONTENT; route to GPT/User

  SC2_existing_path_different_content:
    action: STOP_AND_ESCALATE; do_not_overwrite

  SC3_parser_profile_failure:
    action: STOP_AND_ESCALATE

  SC4_marker_counts_missing_or_unexpected:
    action: STOP_AND_ESCALATE

  SC5_artifact_rehash_mismatch:
    action: STOP_AND_ESCALATE

  SC6_write_or_readback_failure:
    action: STOP_AND_ESCALATE

Expected marker counts for current Constitution family remain:

expected_marker_counts:
  enacted: 19
  controlled_draft: 1
  draft: 1
  obsolete: 1

If the marker counts differ, that may indicate a materially different source state and must stop for review.

---

Write-once convention

write_once_policy:
  overwrite_allowed: false
  delete_allowed: false
  if_collision_same_content: report_and_stop
  if_collision_different_content: stop_and_escalate
  future_seed_must_rehash_artifact: true
  future_dryrun_must_rehash_artifact: true
  future_production_cut_must_rehash_artifact: true

Because KB documents are revisioned but not physically content-addressed object storage, the safety boundary is the checksum-addressed path plus no-overwrite convention plus mandatory rehash gates.

---

Still forbidden in E1

forbidden:
  - source_document INSERT
  - source_document_version INSERT
  - DML execution
  - production DB mutation
  - checksum persistence into registry
  - dry-run
  - CUT
  - VERIFY
  - schema change
  - GRANT/REVOKE
  - Directus mutation
  - deploy/restart
  - git commit
  - self-advance to E2 seed authoring or execution

---

Required E1 output

Agent must upload E1 results under:

knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/v0.5-constitution-source-snapshot-capture-execution/

Required files:

files:
  - dot-iu-cutter-v0.5-constitution-source-snapshot-capture-execution-log-2026-05-18.md
  - dot-iu-cutter-v0.5-constitution-source-snapshot-capture-verification-result-2026-05-18.md
  - dot-iu-cutter-v0.5-constitution-source-snapshot-capture-report-2026-05-18.md

Report must include:

required_report_fields:
  - capture_status: PASS | BLOCKED | ALREADY_EXISTS_SAME_CONTENT | FAIL
  - source_url
  - parser_profile_ref
  - snapshot_artifact_path
  - normalized_content_checksum
  - normalized_content_length
  - marker_counts
  - metadata_summary
  - readback_rehash_result
  - collision_check_result
  - downstream_not_executed
  - next recommended phase

If E1 PASS, next phase should be source seed DML authoring bound to the captured artifact checksum. E2 execution remains separately gated.
