04 — Back-Audit Ratification Packet

Scope

The bypass back-audit ledger (v_authority_back_audit_ledger) classifies the 26 rows that were provably moved by one of the two known auto-bypass mechanisms, keyed on reviewed_by:

• system_auto_approve → insert_path_auto_approve (the P0 INSERT-path bypass).
• auto-apply-function → scanner_apply_without_vote.

All 26 rows have quorum_would_pass_now = false (none could be approved today on their current votes). None are quarantined; none are deleted.

Disposition split (live)

Disposition	Count	Decision	Required actor
applied_live_effect	21 (3 insert-path + 18 scanner)	ratify_retroactive	president (+owner for scanner)
approved_undisposed	1 (APR-0234)	reconcile (see 05)	president
remediated_inert (rejected/expired)	4	none	none

Ratification packet (view v_authority_backaudit_ratification_packet — 21 rows)

Each row maps: apr_id, code, bypass_class, request_type, target_collection, entity_code, live_effect assessment, votes_total (0), quorum_would_pass_now (false), live_effect_present, recommended_action = ratify_retroactive, required_actor, reversibility.

Live-effect assessments (from the ledger): reclassify rows set collection_registry.governance_role (junction→observed) — substantively correct; birth_orphan rows created a meta_catalog entry for a real collection — legitimate; new_dot rows registered a real detect/fix tool — legitimate; schema_add rows registered governance tables — legitimate. The applied effects are benign governance metadata, which is why the recommendation is retroactive ratification rather than reversal.

Reversibility: ratification records a retroactive vote/decision; the underlying object is unchanged, so it is fully reversible.

Principal queue (view v_authority_backaudit_principal_queue)

decision_item	row_count	required_actor	priority
ratify_applied_live_effect	21	president (+owner for scanner)	high
reconcile_approved_undisposed	1	president	high
none_inert_remediated	4	none	none

Broader no-vote applied population (honesty)

Beyond the 26-row ledger, 142 orphan-scanner applies carry reviewed_by=orchestrator-s142b (a sanctioned S142b batch), plus 8 null-reviewer and 1 desktop applies. These were not auto-bypass events and are out of the bypass-ratification scope, but they are surfaced (not hidden) in v_scanner_auto_apply_inventory and recommended for a separate "confirm-sanctioned" review if the principal wants full closure of every zero-vote applied row.

Authority status

No ratification was executed: there is no real president/owner vote available in this session, and fabricating votes is forbidden. The packet is action-ready and machine-visible. When a real president (and owner for scanner rows) is present, ratification can be executed guarded with rollback staged.
