dot-iu-cutter v0.5 — First Constitution Snapshot CUT-plan Dry-run · Objective, Scope & Input Contract

Phase: v0_5_constitution_first_snapshot_CUT_plan_dryrun_command_review (sub-phase S1) Nature: review_design_only__no_execution__no_code · Date: 2026-05-19 · doc 1 of 5

package_status: AUTHORED_FOR_REVIEW
nothing_executed: true · no command · no code · no CUT · no VERIFY
no DB/IU/Directus/vector · no source mutation · no push/merge/tag/deploy
self_advance: PROHIBITED
follows: CUT command review (BLOCKED on missing entrypoint) → this is the sanctioned S1 step

1. Objective and exact scope of the CUT-plan dry-run (required item 1)

objective: Deterministically derive, from the accepted & pinned MARK manifest, the EXACT set
  of governed rows a future production CUT WOULD insert — and emit them as inspectable
  ARTIFACTS ONLY. Zero DB/IU/Directus/vector writes. This makes the first irreversible
  governed write fully reviewable BEFORE any entrypoint is built or run.
exact_scope:
  consumes: the accepted manifest.json (digest 9d908a62…), regenerated deterministically
    from the pinned MARK command (re_run_equal:true) and re-digested before use.
  produces: 5 local artifact files modelling the would-be write-set (doc 4).
  models (preview only, NEVER inserted): manifest_envelope(1) + manifest_unit_block(60) +
    cut_change_set(1) + decision_backlog_history transition(s) + DOT-991 executor signature —
    the row shapes taken from cutter_agent/ledger.py (read-only inspection).
  IU cardinality: exactly 60 (== manifest candidate_count); one IU per accepted candidate.
  in_scope: the 60 enacted candidates (NGUYEN_TAC 15 + KIEN_TRUC_SECTION 3 + DIEU 42).
  out_of_scope (HARD): Điều 44 (UOSL controlled_draft, tier_2_explicit_row_marker, reason
    controlled_draft_deferred) + the other 3 excluded rows — modelled in an excluded preview
    with reasons, NEVER as a write-set row.
  explicitly NOT done: no real canonical-address resolution. cutter_agent/canonicalization.py
    OD-2 = canonical_address_alias FULLY DEFERRED in v0.4 (the v0.4 Resolver is a `stub://`
    stub). The CUT-plan dry-run REUSES the manifest's already-pinned ICX-CONST/<path>
    addresses from MARK; it does NOT invoke the deferred stub resolver and does NOT decide
    real alias semantics (that remains a separate deferred HIGH-risk phase).
