1. Executive summary

The GPT-chosen hybrid route (read-only production preflight → strip scaffold → command package → separate sovereign approval) was executed up to, and excluding, production apply.

• A read-only catalog preflight ran against the real production directus PostgreSQL (sysid 7611578671664259111, confirmed match). Only SELECT on pg_catalog/information_schema; zero mutating statements; no secrets recorded.
• cutter_governance schema exists with its expected 12 baseline tables; no drift; 0 collision with the 12 WS-Q5 names.
• A clean, transaction-wrapped production apply artifact was prepared with the dry-run CREATE SCHEMA scaffold removed (QG2); rollback (exact inverse, no CASCADE) and catalog-level verification packages were prepared.
• Nothing was applied. Production apply remains gated on a separate GPT/User sovereign approval.

2. Preflight status

preflight: PASS
production_target_confirmed: yes (system_identifier 7611578671664259111)
read_only_only: yes (SELECT-only; no CREATE/ALTER/DROP/DML/GRANT/COMMENT)
cutter_governance_schema_exists: yes
existing_table_count: 12  (matches design "UNTOUCHED" set exactly — no drift)
collision_with_12_new_tables: 0  (zero)
baseline: pk=12 fk=19 unique=2 check=1 table(r)=12 view(v)=12
escalation_to_restored_prod_dryrun: NOT triggered (no drift, no collision,
  no unexpected object — within GPT's "preflight sufficient" condition)
blocked: false

3. Package readiness

production_command_package_ready: yes
  - scaffold stripped (NO "CREATE SCHEMA" — QG2)
  - explicit BEGIN; … COMMIT; boundary (all-or-nothing)
  - exact GPT-PASSed approved DDL only; 12 CREATE TABLE + COMMENTs
  - no DML seed, no GRANT, no index, no vocab/checker change
rollback_package_ready: yes
  - exact inverse, strict reverse dependency order, NO CASCADE (QG5)
  - non-empty-table case escalates (deprecate), does not hard-delete
verification_package_ready: yes
  - catalog-level only; ZERO rendered-string equality (C-07 fix carried)
  - 12 tables / 12 PK / 8 FK / 4 UNIQUE; schema-qualified FK assertion
  - 0 CHECK/trigger/DEFAULT/enum; before==after diff; 0 rows; sysid unchanged
counts_authoritative: 8 FK / 4 UNIQUE (AD-4 corrected; matches dry-run catalog)

4. Explicit non-execution statement

Production apply was NOT executed. No table was created. No BEGIN/COMMIT ran against production. No DML, GRANT, index, Directus mutation, CUT/VERIFY, deploy, or git commit occurred. The production DB was touched only by read-only SELECT catalog queries. This phase produced a reviewable command package; it did not change production.

5. Sovereign approval request (preflight PASS → decision required)

Because preflight is PASS and the package is ready, the next step requires an explicit GPT/User sovereign decision. Self-advance to apply is PROHIBITED.

requested_decision: authorize (or reject) the WS-Q5 production apply phase
proposed_apply_phase_actions (only if approved, in its own phase):
  1. re-run read-only preflight immediately before apply (P-1/P-2)
  2. take fresh production pg_dump backup, record sha (P-3)
  3. apply production-apply-command-package with psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1
     (single BEGIN; … COMMIT; transaction)
  4. run production-verification-command-package; require ALL PASS
  5. on ANY FAIL/NG-true -> rollback-command-package + route GPT/User
  6. write execution report; STOP; route GPT/User; no self-advance
options_for_sovereign:
  A. APPROVE production apply as packaged
  B. APPROVE but require a restored-prod-schema dry-run first
  C. REJECT / request package changes
not_authorized_until_decision: production apply, backup-as-apply-step,
  rollback, seed, GRANT, index, vocab/Cap-4, Directus, CUT/VERIFY, deploy

6. Risks / blockers

blockers: none (VPS read-only access available; preflight PASS; 0 collision)
residual_risks (low, mitigated):
  - R1 PG version: dry-run was 14.17, production is 16. Mitigated — DDL uses
    only text/timestamptz/jsonb/boolean/integer + PK/FK/UNIQUE, identical
    semantics PG14↔16; verification is catalog-structural.
  - R2 dry-run was structural (clean cluster), not restored-prod-dump.
    Mitigated — additive table-only, no ALTER, no cross-schema FK, plain
    CREATE TABLE aborts loudly on collision; preflight already proved 0
    collision + no drift on the real prod schema. (GPT accepted this as
    sufficient unless drift/collision found — none found.)
  - R3 concurrent DDL between preflight and apply could change collision
    state. Mitigated by mandated re-run of preflight immediately before
    apply (P-1) inside the approved phase.
  - R4 transaction safety relies on ON_ERROR_STOP=1 + single BEGIN/COMMIT;
    partial-create impossible (implicit ROLLBACK on any error).

7. Git / repo access note

working_directory: /Users/nmhuyen  (NOT a git repo)
iu_cutter_code_repo: not present locally; /opt/incomex absent on this host
vps_access: SSH alias 'contabo' -> docker exec postgres (READ-ONLY used)
code_changed: false   commit_made: false   deploy: none

8. Quality-gate self-audit

QG1 read-only preflight before package declared ready: PASS
QG2 production artifact has NO CREATE SCHEMA scaffold:  PASS
QG3 0 collision verified (not assumed):                 PASS
QG4 no production DDL executed:                          PASS
QG5 rollback has NO CASCADE:                             PASS
QG6 verification catalog-level only:                     PASS
QG7 no secrets in any file:                              PASS
QG8 report states apply not executed + needs GPT/User:   PASS

9. Final status

status: PRODUCTION_PREFLIGHT_PASS__COMMAND_PACKAGE_READY__APPLY_NOT_EXECUTED
next_action: route to GPT/User for sovereign production-apply decision
production_apply_authorized: false
self_advance: PROHIBITED
