O8B-retry Report 09 — Final O8B retry report

• macro: v0.6-o8b-retry-mac-reconcile-deploy-live-wiring
• date_utc: 2026-05-21 · effort: high
• FINAL RESULT: A — O8B_RECONCILE_DEPLOY_LIVE_WIRING_PASS

1. Summary

The first O8B attempt was correctly BLOCKED for running on Contabo without the Mac SSOT repo. This retry ran from the developer Mac, reconciled the GPT-ratified O8A live-execution wiring (the 9-file change set) into the Mac SSOT repo, committed it, built a clean verified artifact, and deployed the updated v0.6 side-by-side to Contabo with the kill-switch OFF. The deployed Mode.LIVE path now reaches a real LiveExecutionAdapter seam and can never fall through to the simulator; with the kill-switch OFF it refuses before any mutation. No production was mutated; execution_enabled stays False; the v0.4 skeleton is untouched.

2. Gate roll-up

Gate	Outcome
G0 precheck-live / correct host	PASS — developer Mac; SSOT repo @ 6625f76; SSH + KB work

G2 Mac repo reconciliation	PASS — Mac 6625f76 == pre-O8A baseline; clean 9-file overlay, no conflict
G3 local test / security	PASS — 28/28 + 394/394 tests; no PIN_/secret; 8/8 behavioural proofs
G4 local commit / artifact	PASS — commit 703559c; artifact db3f48b6…; manifest 2dcb62df…
G5 Contabo deploy update	PASS — sha-verified transfer; staged-tree 394/394; atomic backup+promote
G6 postdeploy proof	PASS — 394/394; 8/8 proofs; row counts unchanged
G7 rollback / disable	PASS — backup intact; procedure documented; v0.4 untouched
G8 KB reporting	PASS — this 9-doc package

changeset_reconciled_into_mac:      YES (Report 03 — clean overlay, no conflict)
local_tests_pass:                   YES — 28/28 + 394/394

v0_4_skeleton_intact:               YES — HEAD e93424b

5. Honest follow-ups (carried forward unchanged from O8A §5)

These do NOT block the O8B result; they remain scoped for later macros:

F-1  ProductionLiveExecutionAdapter is sandbox-proven (fake DB) — not yet
     real-DB integration-tested → a transient-Postgres integration macro.
F-2  cut_leg_a (live) needs content-enriched cutplan rows (body/title).
F-3  leg_b_record / write_verify ship the txn-owning seam; the concrete
     governance/verify writers wrapping the Constitution-N-pinned v0.5
     LegBRecorder/VerifyRecorder — and the N=60 generalisation — are a
     follow-up (defaults fail closed).
F-4  pre_write_backup live path needs a provisioned BACKUP_GPG_FPR.
GAP5/6/7/8  config+dirs, tested per-cut revert, sovereign SG_1/SG_2
     ruling, harmless target document — unchanged.

6. Non-mutation attestation

production_mutation:          NONE — production DB never connected by O8B
execution_enabled:            False — never flipped (Mac repo + deployed tree)
production_row_counts:        unchanged (158 IU / 165 UV / 60 lifecycle-log + 6 governance tables)
deployed_v0.6:                updated to commit 703559c; prior tree retained as backup
v0.4_skeleton:                untouched (git HEAD e93424b)
o8a_staging:                  read-only; untouched
service / cron / docker-app:  none installed; none started or restarted
live CUT / VERIFY / enact:    NONE
Mode.LIVE simulator fallback: impossible by construction (proven)
secrets logged:               none
real_crypto:                  untouched (StubSigning interface only)

7. Forbidden-action attestation

Forbidden	Status
Production mutation	NOT DONE
Enable execution_enabled	NOT DONE — stays False
Live CUT / VERIFY / enact mutation	NOT DONE
Mode.LIVE fallback to simulator	IMPOSSIBLE by construction (proven)
Delete v0.4 skeleton	NOT DONE
Deploy/restart a long-running service	NOT DONE — none exists
Log secrets	NOT DONE
Ask User for artifacts / secrets	NOT DONE
Hardcode secrets / runtime IDs	NOT DONE
Real crypto replacement	NOT DONE
Fake PASS	NOT DONE — follow-ups disclosed honestly

8. Recommended next macro

next:  O8A milestone ratify — bump __milestone__/__version__ from O4 to the
       O8A milestone in the SSOT repo + redeploy (the O8A authoring macro
       deliberately left them at O4; the additive __live_wiring__ marker
       records the wiring meanwhile).
then:  O8-F1 real-DB integration proof of ProductionLiveExecutionAdapter
       against a transient Postgres (follow-ups F-1..F-3); cutplan
       content-enrichment (F-2).
later: close O8 GAP-3/5/6/8, then GAP-7 (sovereign SG_1/SG_2 ruling) →
       first authorised production run.

9. STOP

final_outcome:        A — O8B_RECONCILE_DEPLOY_LIVE_WIRING_PASS
production_mutation:  NONE
execution_enabled:    False (unchanged)
next_action:          STOP → route to GPT / User
