Decision

NOT_SAFE_NEEDS_FIX

Do not open permits and do not apply any target.

Exact blockers: apply procedure absent and source is pseudocode; source would mark done with zero births; readiness false-passes; permit does not enforce expiry/max_rows; ledger cannot prove one scoped resumable apply; cross-collection collision silently skips; no committed-batch compensation/resume contract.

Required next macro: BIRTH_STAGE2_QT001_APPLY_DOT_HARDEN_AND_INDEPENDENT_REAUDIT. Implement real bounded writer, constraints, metadata-driven planning, runtime hash introspection, collision fail-close, stale-gate repair, and failure/resume rehearsal. Then request fresh independent review.
