1. Result fields

classification:        ONLY_WORKING_TREE_MIRROR_FOUND
authoritative_target:  /Users/nmhuyen/iu-cutter-build/repo/iu-cutter (C1)
                       — non-git working-tree mirror (KB SSOT designated,
                       most complete v0.4 skeleton)
git_tracked_repo:      NONE found (local: zero .git anywhere; VPS: undeterminable)
secondary:             C5 VPS /opt/incomex/dot[/iu-cutter] = INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS
                       (no git/FS tool; allowlist-denied; no iu-cutter container)
stale_mirror:          /Users/nmhuyen/.iu-cutter-stage/iu-cutter (C2) — older
                       subset of C1; MUST NOT be the apply target
recommendation:        OPT-A1 — (gated, separate phase) git init + baseline
                       commit of C1's existing v0.4 skeleton, branch, then
                       apply+CI the additive patch (KB doc 2)
patch_status:          UNAPPLIED (BLOCKED upstream unchanged); KB doc 2 SSOT
                       expected sha256 dryrun.py f1f42e83… / test 31143968…
nothing_executed:      no patch apply, no git init, no branch, no commit, no
                       deploy, no tests-requiring-modification, no dry-run/
                       CUT/VERIFY, no DB, no Directus/vector, no live DB SELECT
next:                  GPT/User ruling (OPT-A1 / OPT-A2 / OPT-B) → separate
                       explicitly-authorized phase

2. What was done (chronological, factual)

1 read KB SSOT: patch-apply BLOCKED package (4 docs), code-authoring package
  (plan + report + GPT ruling/approval), current operating objectives/principles
2 probed local candidates read-only (git rev-parse/branch/HEAD/remote, ls,
  find sweeps): C1, C2, parents C3/C4
3 confirmed: NO git repo anywhere under /Users/nmhuyen; 2 cutter_agent
  working-tree mirrors only (C1 authoritative, C2 stale subset)
4 probed VPS read-only: list_docker (no iu-cutter container);
  read_file(/opt/incomex/dot/iu-cutter/...) => DENIED (outside allowlist)
  => VPS git authority UNDETERMINABLE (INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS for C5)
5 classified ONLY_WORKING_TREE_MIRROR_FOUND; recommended OPT-A1
6 produced this 4-doc resolution package; STOP → route GPT/User
nothing written/applied/committed/init'd; all probes read-only

3. Why not self-resolve

- `git init` + baseline commit creates/alters repo structure = a sovereign
  decision; governance: "never invent missing authority", "no self-advance
  past gate" → ROUTED to GPT/User, not taken.
- choosing/establishing the authoritative repo for a production-bound pipeline
  is a sovereign call; BLOCKED-and-route is preferred over a guessed action.
- the upstream BLOCKED apply phase remains correctly BLOCKED; this phase only
  resolves *which/whether* a repo exists and *recommends* a path — it does not
  unblock by acting.

4. Quality-gate self-check

QG1 no file modification               : PASS — read-only git/ls/find/read_file
QG2 no git init                        : PASS
QG3 no patch apply                     : PASS — KB doc 2 unapplied
QG4 no commit / no deploy              : PASS
QG5 candidate repo inventory complete  : PASS — C1–C5 incl. VPS access boundary
QG6 recommendation clear               : PASS — single recommendation OPT-A1
QG7 stop after uploading 4 files       : PASS — exactly 4 docs; STOP here

5. Explicit non-execution statement

• No patch applied. No git init. No branch. No commit. No deploy. No tests requiring code modification. No first Constitution dry-run. No CUT. No VERIFY. No production IU. No production DB write. No source_document/ source_version mutation. No schema change. No Directus/vector mutation. No deploy/restart. No live DB SELECT. Working trees byte-unchanged. No self-advance.
• Exactly 4 docs under knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/v0.5-iu-cutter-repo-authority-resolution/.
• doc 4 of 4 — STOP. Route to GPT / User review for the repo-authority ruling (recommendation doc 3 §4: OPT-A1 / OPT-A2 / OPT-B). Self-advance PROHIBITED.
