Verdict

macro_task_result: B_BLOCKED_WITH_EXACT_FINAL_GAP
agent_behavior: PASS_CORRECT
leg_A_guarded_adapter: BUILT_TESTED_COMMITTED
production_mutation: NONE
CUT_authorized: false
VERIFY_authorized: false

The larger macro-task was effective. The Agent advanced the bridge materially by building and committing the guarded leg-A adapter, while correctly refusing to fabricate the missing leg-B governed-ledger row-builder.

Accepted final gap

GAP_B1:
  finding: no committed production-shaped cutter_governance governed-ledger row-builder
  evidence: live cut_change_set has 24 columns with NOT-NULL review_decision_id, rollback_key, state, risk_class, tool revisions, etc.; committed ledger.py remains v0.4 dry-run skeleton with 6 fields; committed code has 0 hits for required live NOT-NULL columns
  implication: leg-B cannot be safely produced by guessing; production CUT command must remain withheld until B1 is resolved or architecturally decoupled

Ruling on UB options

selected_path: UB_2_ARCHITECTURAL_DECOUPLE_FOR_FIRST_CONTROLLED_CUT
rationale:
  - leg-A public.information_unit/unit_version writer is built and guarded
  - governed-ledger leg-B is missing only as a production-shaped builder
  - v0.4 production path already established a governed recording precedent
  - blind leg-B reimplementation would risk fabricating schema semantics
  - first controlled Constitution CUT should minimize moving parts

UB_1_build_leg_B_now: deferred

Interpretation:

first_controlled_CUT:
  leg_A: write 60 information_unit + 60 unit_version + 60 anchor updates under cutter_exec, single transaction
  leg_B: record governed change-set/signature separately using already-ratified governance path or a separately gated post-CUT recording package
  condition: production CUT command-review must explicitly state this decoupling and audit obligation

Authorized next macro-goal

next_phase: v0_5_constitution_first_controlled_CUT_approval_package
style: larger_open_goal_macro_task
production_write: not_authorized_until_final_approval

Goal: assemble the final approval package for the first controlled Constitution CUT using UB-2 decoupling. Include GRANT package, production CUT command package, preflight, backup, drift checks, execution command, verification, compensation, and post-CUT governance recording obligation. Stop before executing GRANT or CUT.

Still forbidden

forbidden:
  - execute production GRANT/REVOKE
  - execute production CUT
  - execute VERIFY
  - write production DB
  - production IU creation
  - deploy/restart
  - merge/push/tag
  - mutate source_document/source_version
  - run writer against production DB in write mode before approval
  - self-advance to production execution

Final status

status: LEG_A_READY__GAP_B1_ACCEPTED__UB2_SELECTED__FINAL_APPROVAL_PACKAGE_NEXT
