Checkpoint — Codex cross-check Text-as-Code reuse audit

Date: 2026-06-09
Production mutation: NO
Cross-check status: CODEX_CROSSCHECK_READY
Claude/T1 audit verdict: CLAUDE_AUDIT_UNSAFE_TO_USE_FOR_PLANNING
Revised recommendation: NEEDS_FRESH_BASELINE_FIRST

Confirmed findings

• The concern that DOT counting is incomplete is confirmed.
• No single canonical DOT total is currently supported by the reviewed evidence.
• Dated/surface-specific valid counts include 75/82, 93/95, 97, 272/256, approximately 287/288, 309, 54, 42, and local 163; they have different denominators and cannot be collapsed.
• June 5 evidence identifies 41 registry-no-file and approximately 18–19 file-no-registry records, plus substantial registry metadata/pairing gaps.
• T1 omitted the necessary multi-surface count ledger and reconciliation contract.
• T1 overstates TRUE_NEW status for runner, manifest, selftest/hash, dead-link audit, and duplicate integration.
• fn_tac_log_checker_issue is not accepted as a universal logger authority.
• Cloning/adapting cutter_agent/dryrun.py is rejected as a reuse strategy until a canonical callable/library boundary is established.
• Directus DOT-only control is mandatory as law, but current 100% estate compliance remains unverified.
• Text-as-Code/IU current corpus/resolver authority remains unresolved.
• The T1 report's use of five parallel auditors conflicts with the main-process-only/no-background-agent rule.

Risk statement

The largest missing area is a fresh, dated, multi-surface baseline with explicit set identities and both-direction diffs.

The largest conflict risk is creating or cloning a runner, manifest, logger, duplicate checker, or graph checker before authority ownership is resolved, thereby creating a parallel engine under the label of reuse.

DOT confidence

• Unified DOT total: LOW / UNSUPPORTED.
• Individual dated snapshot counts: HIGH WITHIN EXPLICIT DENOMINATOR.
• Current production executable total: UNRESOLVED.

Boundary

No implementation, production mutation, permit opening, REAL_RUN, Directus mutation, or execution-phase authorization occurred.

Exactly one minimal safe next step

Execute one read-only multi-surface baseline/reconciliation snapshot, preserving separate sets and both-EXCEPT diffs for DOT registry/files/catalog/runners, Directus routes, IU/TAC current resolver, issue writers, and graph/duplicate engines. Do not combine counts or implement tools.
