Checkpoint - Codex Stage 2.6A FIX4 QT-001 Audit

Date: 2026-06-07. Mode: read-only production audit. Verdict: STAGE2_6A_FIX4_FAIL_HARDCODE_OR_BYPASS_STILL_DANGEROUS.

Production remains blocked: QT001 births 0, open execute permits 0, done ledgers 0, Tier1 targets 0, signoff bindings 0, readiness v7 BLOCKED, scale NOT_SAFE, gateway 5/5 OK, dangerous DOT freeze 2/2.

FIX4 is not accepted. Writer and driver directly call fn_dot_birth_qt001_plan_v2; builder reaches it transitively. No-legacy guard misses these paths. Capability evidence is function/view existence. Function-existence negative test is literal true; Public/Directus no-bypass checks are tautologies. Fingerprint v4 has six NULL component rows while NULL guard passes. Authority/evidence rows are mutable and owned by Directus.

Required repair is FIX5: remove legacy planner from complete authoritative path, rebuild dependency/capability/readiness/no-bypass proofs behaviorally, enforce identity/evidence/binding integrity and ownership separation, and remove fixed eligibility-affecting lists/literals.
