11 — Self-Review

Method

• State recovery: read GPT decision, Đ0-G birth law, birth-process-v1, S157-A report, Đ35 DOT law, Đ33 PG law, and governance design docs 31/32/34 (via KB; parallel subagents to keep full text out of main context).
• Live audit: ~30 read-only query_pg(directus) statements (function bodies via pg_get_functiondef, view defs via pg_get_viewdef, catalog via information_schema/pg_*), + 3 read-only ssh contabo recon commands (sha256/ls). No writes.
• Proofs: function-body determinism + catalog diffs + a read-only fn_pre_birth_check simulation. Live-write rollback proofs declined (see below).

Strength of findings

• High confidence (directly observed): birth_registry counts; trigger topology; fn_birth_gate/fn_pre_birth_check/fn_birth_registry_auto/fn_birth_onboarding_full_scan bodies; governance counts; v_object_owner_gap & v_governance_object_inventory definitions; dot_iu_command_catalog 0-on-all-axes; pivot 22-unborn; dot_tools 283-phantom; dot-pivot-update absent from dot_tools + present on disk (sha256 verified); fn_rule_birth_violations error reproduced.
• Inferred (stated as such): that app.birth_gate_mode is effectively 'warning' — based on 0 rows in pg_db_role_setting/pg_settings; I cannot observe a per-session SET the app might issue, nor read postgresql.conf. If the app sets 'blocking' per session, G1's severity drops — this is the one finding worth a 2-minute confirmation (check the Directus DB connection bootstrap / any SET app.birth_gate_mode). All other findings stand independently.
• Filesystem orphan count (209 live vs 309 rows) is approximate (excludes .bak/archive heuristically); the existence of the gap is exact (dot-pivot-update is a confirmed file-orphan).

Why no live-write proof

The write channel (workflow_admin via ssh docker exec psql) was reachable. I declined live writes because: default-no-mutation; the forbidden list bars manual INSERT to dot_tools/pivot_definitions and any manual/fake birth; and proving detection failure is done by catalog diff, not by creating objects — a write proof would have added production-write risk for strictly less evidentiary value. This satisfies "proofs completed or safely blocked with reason."

Forbidden-action compliance: FULL

0 production mutations · no dot-pivot-update registration or cleanup · no manual/fake birth · no INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE to dot_tools or pivot_definitions · no governance rollout · no event emit · no system_issues write · no DOT execution · no UI/Nuxt/Directus/Qdrant mutation · no law/version/status change · no claim that the file is a valid DOT · no claim of live automation without live evidence.

Completeness vs mission criteria

PASS on: state recovery (1), birth infra (2), orphan detection (3), onboarding (4), bypass (5), proofs completed-or-safely-blocked (6), dot-pivot-update classified (7), gaps classified (8), safe path chosen (9), KB published (10). Overall PARTIAL only because live-write proofs were intentionally not run — by design, with decisive read-only evidence in their place.

Honest caveats

• The governance design docs (31/32/34) describe a candidate pipeline as "ABSENT"; this audit found the tables now exist but are empty — I report the current live state, not the design-era state.
• "79 distinct collections" in birth_registry vs ~100+ tables with triggers: some triggered tables have no rows yet, and some collections were renamed; the gap families I name are exact, not the residual.
