dot-iu-cutter v0.6 O9 Ready for Approval PASS Next Program Bundle

Date: 2026-05-21

O9 is accepted as READY_FOR_SOVEREIGN_APPROVAL. It did not perform production mutation. It kept execution_enabled false, verified the O8F deployment, authored and validated backup_runner, prepared grant and approval packages, and found the safe-target/generic-parser gap.

However, O9 again completed too quickly because the macro stopped when the production-run branch hit the approval gate. Future macros must not stop at the first gated branch if other independent non-mutating branches remain in scope.

Remaining blockers:

1. SG approval document for the first orchestrator-managed production run.
2. Authorization to flip execution_enabled for the approved run.
3. BACKUP_GPG_FPR keypair/operator step.
4. Safe target intake and the generic-parser/source pipeline gap.

New macro-sizing rule:

If a branch is blocked by approval, the agent must continue with all other non-mutating branches in the macro scope: source patch design, generic target intake, parser generalization, dry-run suite, grant package, backup package, and approval package. Stop only when all safe branches are exhausted or a true global blocker appears.

Selected next macro: O10_AUTOMATION_COMPLETION_PROGRAM_BUNDLE.

Recommended effort: xhigh. Required start host: MacBook/dev host, because generic-parser/source patch and tests are expected. VPS is used for post-deploy validation and live-readonly/dryrun proof.

O10 scope:

1. Precheck Mac and VPS.
2. Implement or package generic target source intake and parser path so the system is not ICX-CONST-only.
3. Implement safe synthetic/small target dry-run path if possible without production mutation.
4. Deploy to VPS with execution_enabled false.
5. Run VPS tests and live-readonly/dryrun proof.
6. Prepare final approval packet for first automated production run.
7. Prepare backup key/operator package and grant package.
8. If explicit approvals are still absent, stop at READY_FOR_APPROVAL with all non-mutating branches completed.

Do not perform production mutation without explicit valid approval.
