---

1. Repo path & git identity

repo_path: /Users/nmhuyen/iu-cutter-build/repo/iu-cutter   (authoritative per KB SSOT)
is_git_repository: FALSE
branch: N/A   (no git repo => no branch)
HEAD:   N/A   (no git repo => no HEAD/commit)
remote: N/A   (no git repo => no remote)
git_binary: present (git version 2.39.5) — but there is no repository to act on

2. git status — BEFORE

$ git -C /Users/nmhuyen/iu-cutter-build/repo/iu-cutter status
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

status_before: UNAVAILABLE — not a git repository
working_tree_before (filesystem snapshot, read-only ls):
  cutter_agent/: __init__.py canonicalization.py db_adapter.py idempotency.py
    ledger.py phases.py signal.py signing.py state_machine.py
  tests/: test_idempotency.py test_phase_contracts.py
    test_real_postgres_adapter.py test_security_boundaries.py test_state_machine.py
  root: .gitignore README.md cli.py
  dryrun.py present?            NO
  test_dryrun_snapshot_mark.py present?  NO

3. git status — AFTER

status_after: IDENTICAL to before — patch NOT applied (rule #1 STOP_AND_REPORT).
  Still not a git repository. No file added, modified, deleted, or renamed.
working_tree_after == working_tree_before  (byte-for-byte; no write performed)

4. git diff summary

$ git -C /Users/nmhuyen/iu-cutter-build/repo/iu-cutter diff --stat
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

git_diff_summary: UNAVAILABLE — no git repository exists to diff.
effective_diff (filesystem): EMPTY
  files_added:    0
  files_modified: 0
  files_deleted:  0
  insertions:     0
  deletions:      0
intended_patch (NOT applied, for reference only):
  + cutter_agent/dryrun.py                 (new, 0 written)
  + tests/test_dryrun_snapshot_mark.py     (new, 0 written)
  existing files modified: 0 (additive-only design; not applied)

5. Commit / deploy status

commit_status: NO COMMIT (impossible — not a git repo; and not authorized anyway)
deploy_status: NOT DEPLOYED
push/tag/branch: NONE
working_tree_mutation: NONE (read-only inspection only this phase)

6. Statement

• QG4 satisfied: git diff/status reported — definitively "not a git repository"; before == after; 0 files added/modified; effective diff empty.
• QG5 satisfied: no commit, no deploy.
• doc 3 of 4; STOP after 4 docs → route GPT/User. Self-advance PROHIBITED.
