3. Gate disposition recap

G0  repo state survey                       : PASS (single repo, no remote,
                                              FF feasible)
G1  code provenance map                     : PASS (every sha matches KB)
G2  ratification scope decision             : PASS (7 commit / 3 sidecar /
                                              1 keep-as-is)
G3  test result                             : PASS (78 PASS new ; 173/173
                                              regression ; 264/265 discover
                                              with 1 pre-existing baseline)
G4  commit on feature branch                : PASS (3 commits added ;
                                              tree clean)
G5  release/merge package                   : READY (FF merge ready ;
                                              withheld pending explicit
                                              merge-to-main approval)
G6  KB upload of 6 reports                  : PASS (this report set)

4. Single-command release (when approved)

Once GPT/User explicitly approves the merge:

cd /Users/nmhuyen/iu-cutter-build/repo/iu-cutter
git checkout main
git merge --ff-only feature/constitution-snapshot-mark-dryrun
git checkout feature/constitution-snapshot-mark-dryrun

Rollback (if needed):

git checkout main
git reset --hard 4367c83

Tag (when approved separately ; suggested name):

git tag -a v0.5.0-canonical-cut-and-verify -m \
    "v0.5 first controlled canonical Constitution CUT + leg-B + write-VERIFY"

(Tag is OUT of M4 scope ; mentioned for completeness only.)

5. Forbidden actions — confirmed NOT taken

deploy / restart                         : NOT TAKEN
production DB mutation                   : NOT TAKEN
lifecycle draft->enacted                 : NOT TAKEN
source_document / source_version         : NOT TAKEN
push to remote                           : NOT TAKEN (no remote exists)
tag                                      : NOT TAKEN
hard delete (incl. ledger.py)            : NOT TAKEN
fabricated code provenance               : NOT TAKEN
silent sidecar drop                      : NOT TAKEN (3 sidecars documented)
self-advance to next macro               : NOT TAKEN (STOP → GPT/User)

6. Pipeline state — full v0.5 picture

constitution_cut_pipeline_status (post-M4) :

  MARK                          : DONE

  read_only_VERIFY              : DONE
  leg_B_governed_recording (M1) : DONE

  code_ratification       (M4)  : DONE (feature branch ; main merge READY)
  lifecycle_enactment     (M3)  : PENDING — sovereign fn_iu_enact design
  release_main_merge            : READY (single explicit approval needed)
  release_tag                   : NOT REQUESTED
  contabo_v0.5_code_deployment  : NOT REQUESTED
  automation_orchestrator (M5)  : PENDING — xhigh effort expected
  StubSigning_real_crypto       : PENDING — separate workstream

7. Recommended next steps (sequential ; sovereign authority)

S1  Approve M4 main merge (single one-line ruling) ;
    then : `git merge --ff-only` on main locally.
S2  Either :
      (a) Approve M3 lifecycle macro (xhigh recommended) to design
          fn_iu_enact + commit the lifecycle-mutation governance path ;
      (b) Approve M5 automation/orchestrator macro (xhigh recommended) to
          design one-command pipeline + StubSigning replacement.
S3  Tag release (after M3 OR M5 closes, whichever comes first).
