1. Outcome

W-4 credential/signing + production-adapter readiness: BLOCKED_WITH_EXACT_GAP.
  The writer (W-3) is correct & isolation-proven, but the PRODUCTION BRIDGE is not ready:
  GAP-C1 (controlling) cutter_exec/cutter_verify LIVE but ZERO grants on the writer target
    directus.public.information_unit/unit_version; v0.4 grants were cutter_governance-
    scoped; that schema is ABSENT here ⇒ a NEW scoped credential/GRANT command-review +
    sovereign execution is required.
  GAP-C2 governed-ledger substrate (cut_change_set/dot_pair_signature/decision_backlog_
    history/verify_result) absent/unconfirmed in the target DB ⇒ ledger location must be
    ruled.
  GAP-C3 DOT-991 signing not built (Stub/Deferred); lane-overlap invariants unimplemented.
  GAP-C4 no production adapter for the birth model (code WITHHELD — premature until C1/C2).
  GAP-C5 no separate sovereign production-DB-write approval.
  classification: implementation + authorization gap. NO schema/structure DRIFT (19/16
    cols, 4 constraints, vocab 6/6, ICX-CONST==0 all still hold; L1/L2 md5 pinned for W-5).

2. Macro-goal questions answered

repo/branch/HEAD: /Users/nmhuyen/iu-cutter-build/repo/iu-cutter · feature/constitution-
  snapshot-mark-dryrun · f0120ac (unchanged); tree clean; cutwrite.py 31ce88dc… byte-exact
writer tests: cutwrite 22/22 · MARK 21/21 · cutplan 15/15 (re-run, GREEN)
production DB: UNTOUCHED; writer remains DB-isolated only (production refusal already
  tested at f0120ac — no new guard code needed)
credential/signing: model ratified (cutter_exec/DOT-991, cutter_verify/DOT-992); roles
  LIVE; but ZERO grants on the writer target; signing Stub/Deferred ⇒ GAP-C1/C2/C3
production adapter: NONE for the birth model; design contract specified, code WITHHELD
schema drift: NONE structural; L1 md5 f38c94d0… / L2 md5 078ba005… pinned as W-5 drift gate
0 ICX-CONST pre-existing: STILL TRUE (clean insert holds)
prod CUT command: WITHHELD (not fabricated); contract + minimal unblock U-W4a..U-W5 given
prechecks/backup/verify/rollback/STOP: fully specified (doc 5)

3. Quality gates

QG1 current writer readiness reconstructed + tests rerun   : PASS (doc 1)
QG2 credential/signing requirements + live state reviewed   : PASS (doc 2)
QG3 production schema/adapter drift reviewed read-only       : PASS (doc 3 — no drift)
QG4 production-CUT readiness/gap stated honestly             : PASS (doc 4 — BLOCKED_WITH_EXACT_GAP)
QG5 verification/rollback/precheck/backup plan               : PASS (doc 5)
QG6 no production mutation / no invented prod command        : PASS (§4)
QG7 STOP after upload, route GPT/User                        : PASS (§5)

4. Explicit no-mutation statement

production_mutation: NONE. No production DB write/IU · no CUT · no VERIFY · no DB
  connection · no deploy/restart · no merge/push/tag · no source/version mutation ·
  no code change (cutwrite.py preserved at ratified sha 31ce88dc…; adapter code WITHHELD,
  not fabricated) · no invented production command · no self-advance.
actions_performed: read-only KB reads; read-only PostgreSQL catalog/privilege/drift
  probes; local net-zero re-run of the writer test suites; 6 KB documents created
  (folder was empty pre-author). Repo unchanged (f0120ac, tree clean).

decisions_required_from_GPT_User (each its own gate; NOT self-advanced):
  U-W4a rule GAP-C1/C2 (writer target + governed-ledger location) → author a scoped
        credential/GRANT command-review for public.information_unit/unit_version
  U-W4b sovereign-gated credential/GRANT execution (v0.4 C_01..C_12 discipline)
  U-W4c DOT-991 signing build + GPT review (lane-overlap invariants)
  U-W4d gated guarded-production-adapter build + scratch integration proof
  U-W5  production CUT command-review + SEPARATE explicit sovereign production-write
        approval + live drift re-verify (L1/L2 md5, cols, constraints, vocab, ICX-CONST==0)
forbidden_and_not_performed: production CUT/VERIFY · production DB/IU write · DB connection
  · deploy/restart · merge/push/tag · source/version mutation · invented production
  command · self-advance.
next_action: STOP. Route to GPT/User for the U-W4a ruling (credential/ledger target).
