A. Codex ratification table (read-back)

Item	Status	Source path	Hash/tree	Authorizes	Does NOT authorize

Ratification is not an official seal and creates no N7/N8/P7, implementation approval, or production authorization (Codex, 00-readme-first.md §Decision).

B. Authority input table (roster)

Input	Req for N7/N8/P7?	Current source	Present?	Authority class	T1 can create?	Owner/Codex must provide?	Next action
A1 approval_event_id	N7	N7 env §6 (MISSING)	NO	AUTHORITY_INPUT	prepare-not-authorize	Codex	Codex mints governed id at seal
A2 approver_identity	N7	no approval event	NO	AUTHORITY_INPUT	prepare-not-authorize	Owner + Codex	supply authorized identities in seal event
A3 approval_event_timestamp	N7	N7 env §6 (MISSING)	NO	AUTHORITY_INPUT	prepare-not-authorize	Codex	governed RFC3339 UTC stamp at seal
A5 owner_blueprint_decision (OWN-1)	N7 + impl	owner decision packet (options only)	NO	OWNER_DECISION	prepare-not-authorize	Owner	owner issues explicit decision
N6 digest	N7/N8	real-N6 certificate (ratified candidate)	YES	ENGINEERING_VERIFIED_CANDIDATE	present	promote→PIN owner/Codex	Codex consumes candidate (no promote here)
N6 certificate	N7/N8	real-N6 cert 055828db…6b96	YES	ENGINEERING_VERIFIED_CANDIDATE	present	n/a	none — present + bound
N8 Codex signer	N8	n8 request §1 (CODEX_ONLY)	NO	CODEX_AUTHORED	NO	Codex	Codex supplies signer/timestamp/parent
N8 report set	N8	report-set-candidate.json (15 reports)	candidate	CANDIDATE_NON_AUTHORITY	prepare-not-authorize	Codex computes digest	Codex re-fetches document_id@revision
P7 authority IDs	P7	p7-id-proposal.json (PROPOSED)	NO	CODEX_AUTHORED	NO	Codex	Codex supplies IDs, runs encode_real_p7
owner decision / OWN-1	N7 + impl	owner-decision-template (NOT_APPROVED_HOLD)	NO	OWNER_DECISION	prepare-not-authorize	Owner	owner picks an option

ready_to_author = false while any of the above are MISSING. No missing input is converted to a placeholder authority value.

C. Stale prose table

Surface	Stale text	Why stale	Safe replacement	Authority impact
N7 env .md §6 N6 row	SEAL_REAL_N6_NOT_AVAILABLE	Codex ratified the engineering N6 candidate 2026-06-11 — chain now exists	AVAILABLE — RATIFIED_ENGINEERING_VERIFIED_CANDIDATE (d777e87c…); NOT a seal/pin; does not alone authorize N7/N8/P7; old text marked superseded/historical	NONE — engineering label only; no seal authored; digest unchanged
N7 env .md §6.2	"path stays blocked SEAL_REAL_N6_NOT_AVAILABLE until a real chain exists"	a real ENGINEERING_VERIFIED_CANDIDATE chain now exists	rev5 N6-availability update paragraph; remaining blockers are the authority inputs	NONE — labels only
N7 env .json provenance.active_corpus_sha256_current_class	REHEARSAL	Codex ratified the candidate class	ENGINEERING_VERIFIED_CANDIDATE + value + ratified_by; standing_true_blocker → AUTHORITY_INPUTS_MISSING; old token kept under superseded_historical_blocker	metadata corrected to match ratification; N6 digest/encoder/roster/edges UNCHANGED

Workstreams

• A — stale prose: N7 envelope .md/.json updated to rev5; SEAL_REAL_N6_NOT_AVAILABLE superseded/historical; N6 referenced as ratified engineering candidate; N6 digest unchanged.
• B — roster: authority-input-roster.json lists all inputs present/missing with actor + next action; no missing input fabricated.
• C — owner decision packet: plain-language + machine JSON; default safe NOT_APPROVED_HOLD; options + required fields.
• D — N8 report-set candidate: 15 governed reports with document_id@revision; NOT a Codex N8 seal; report_documents_digest left for Codex.
• E — P7 authority ID proposal: PROPOSED pin target + dependencies + rollback; NOT an official P7.
• F — fresh reconstruction + bad-input probes: 10/10 fail-closed; packet round-trips byte-exact from KB (see …-bad-probes-2026-06-11.md and the checkpoint).
• G — current-state + checkpoint: updated honestly.

Final reality checks

• N6 stale unavailable prose remains? NO (superseded/historical only).
• N7 envelope references ratified N6 correctly? YES.
• N-number table marked Codex-ratified binding? YES.
• N6 marked engineering candidate only? YES.
• N6 falsely marked official seal? NO.
• Owner approval fabricated? NO.
• N8 signer fabricated? NO.
• P7 official ID fabricated? NO.
• A1/A2/A3/A5 missing but claimed ready-to-author? NO (ready_to_author=false).
• N7/N8/P7 authored? NO/NO/NO.
• Production mutation? NO.
• REAL_RUN/QT001/permit invoked? NO.
• Fresh reconstruction passes? YES.
• Bad-input probes fail closed? YES (10/10).

Deliverables / governance

Packet knowledge/dev/reports/architecture/fix7-n7-n8-p7-authority-input-packet-2026-06-11/ + reports listed in the checkpoint. Objects TKT-OBJ-305..325 (gov addendum; renumbered from 289..309 to clear concurrent T2 NVSZ reservation 289..304; registry JSON rev20 max id 224 NOT rewritten; ceiling was 304). No Codex/owner-ask/seal/real-pin/promotion/impl/prod/PG/Directus/registry-row/v0.2 mutation.

Remaining authority inputs (owner/Codex only)

A1/A2/A3/A5, explicit owner decision (OWN-1), Codex N8 signer/timestamp/parent/report digest, P7 authority IDs + real upstream N7/N8. Minimal next macro: owner issues OWN-1; if seal authorized, route to Codex authority-seal authoring (N7 → N8 → P7 via authority_seal_encoder.py 13344f92…).
