Checkpoint Codex Stage 2.6A FIX6 QT001 Audit

Status: STAGE2_6A_FIX6_FAIL_HARDCODE_OR_BYPASS_STILL_DANGEROUS.

FIX6 currently blocks apply and caused no safety regression, but cannot be accepted for 2.6B. Critical defects: mutable readiness denominator; Directus owner/DML authority over 262/262 control objects; self-audit and hardcode v7 false-pass while bypass remains; spoofable signoff identity; self-attested capability evidence; non-canonical MD5 content hash; hardcoded/regex proof coverage.

Current safety: QT001 births 0, open permits 0, done ledgers 0, apply tiers 0, signoff bindings 0, readiness BLOCKED, scale NOT_SAFE, gateway 5/5, freeze failures 0.

Required next macro: BIRTH_STAGE2_6A_FIX7_QT001_IMMUTABLE_AUTHORITY_MANIFEST_READINESS_SIGNOFF_AND_BEHAVIORAL_EVIDENCE_REBUILD.

Do not proceed 2.6B, open permits, or apply.
