dot-iu-cutter v0.6 O8 Blocked Live Write Gap — GPT Ruling

Date: 2026-05-21

Verdict

O8_result: BLOCKED_WITH_EXACT_O8_GAP
agent_behavior: PASS_CORRECT
precheck_live_performed: true
decisive_gap: GAP_9_no_live_execution_code_path
production_mutation: NONE
execution_enabled: false
next_effort: xhigh

O8 correctly performed live/code survey before any production action and found the decisive gap: deployed v0.6 has no production-write code path. The current orchestrator can dry-run and simulate, but all mutating phases are simulator-only. Flipping __execution_enabled__ would risk a false live label with no real mutation, so O8 correctly blocked.

Accepted gaps

gaps:
  GAP_9:
    status: decisive
    issue: no Mode.LIVE write branches for mutating phases
    affected_phases:
      - pre_write_backup
      - cut_leg_a
      - leg_b_record
      - write_verify
      - lifecycle_enact
  GAP_3:
    status: open
    issue: GPG keyring empty; no real pre-write backup path
  GAP_5:
    status: open
    issue: no orchestrator config and /var/lib/cutter runtime dirs
  GAP_6:
    status: open
    issue: no tested per-cut revert/compensation runbook
  GAP_7:
    status: open
    issue: no sovereign SG_1/SG_2 approval
  GAP_8:
    status: open
    issue: no harmless registered target; only ICX-CONST exists and must not be reused as first target

Scope correction

Next task must not be another approval package for production run. It must be a live-execution wiring milestone, starting with live/code survey and then implementing the missing Mode.LIVE branches only if the survey confirms the v0.5-proven modules can be reused safely.

Selected next macro

selected_next: O8A_LIVE_EXECUTION_WIRING_AUTHORING_AND_SANDBOX_PROOF
recommended_effort: xhigh
expected_duration: 45_60_minutes
scope:
  - survey live deployed v0.6 and local/source repo
  - map v0.5 proven write modules into orchestrator Mode.LIVE branches
  - implement or author plan for live-write adapter seams for the 5 phases
  - keep execution_enabled false
  - no production mutation
  - add sandbox/fake-DB proof for Mode.LIVE wiring
  - package config/backup/rollback requirements
  - stop before any real production run

Forbidden

forbidden:
  - production mutation
  - enabling execution_enabled in production
  - live CUT_VERIFY_enact mutation
  - fake live branch that calls simulator
  - hardcoded secrets/runtime ids
  - real crypto replacement unless explicitly scoped
  - asking user for artifacts or secrets
