6000x — Roadmap + Prompt Guide Update

Date: 2026-05-24

Prompt-guide rule (added by 6000x)

A 6000x-class open-goal macro is UNDERFILLED if a single blocked branch (governance, owner authority, deploy approval) collapses it into a short read-only verification. The macro template must:

1. Begin with an Input Contract Matrix classifying every branch into EXECUTABLE_NOW / EXECUTABLE_IF_GATE_PASS / AUTHOR_MODE_ONLY / BLOCKED_EXTERNAL_AUTHORITY.
2. Carry a Decision Bank pre-resolving common safety conflicts (draft Qdrant indexing, PR merge, retention enable, monitoring install) so blocked branches do NOT halt the whole macro.
3. Provide fallback workstreams so a blocked branch still ships the missing package as author-mode artifact, rollback path, exact-gap report, next-macro handoff.

6000x-input-contract (b17578d) and 6000x-authority-closeout (b478822) collapsed prematurely on the Qdrant-draft branch. This macro restores the full open-goal scope by adding lifecycle promotion, Qdrant onboarding preflight, draft-vector policy, PR handoff, monitoring productization, and retention productization in parallel.

Suggested next macros

• 6500x — governance review_decision creation for DIEU corpus. Strictly governance, no PG mutation.
• 6600x — DIEU promotion execution. Calls fn_iu_enact per IU in bounded batches under #25's gate.
• 6700x — DIEU Qdrant onboarding execution. onboard_enacted_set(dry_run=False) after #6600x produces the enacted set.
• 6800x — Linux user-timer install on always-on host. Requires user-confirmed access (NOT this macro chain).
• 6900x — retention gate flip (2026-06-22 earliest). Five enablement gates must all evaluate true.

Lessons recorded

• DIEU corpus is technically promotion-ready (every readiness check PASSES live); gate is governance, not data.
• Mac sleep gap is now observable via stale_detector.sh; pilot remains useful but no longer silent.
• Author-mode packages let a blocked branch still ship a useful artifact (next macro's pre-condition) instead of a no-op report.
