03 — Branch C: Master Design Live Reconciliation Patch

Goal: patch design truth so future agents are not misled. Result: PASS — surgical patch list below. Do NOT rewrite the whole design.

Target design: knowledge/dev/design/v0.6-iu-4mothers-event-foundation-rev2/ (Rev5 line). The design still describes much IU machinery as "paper"/planned; live DB is well ahead. Apply these surgical edits.

#	Design claim (stale)	Live truth (2026-05-28)	Patch
P1	b/c/f read paths planned	LIVE: fn_iu_filter_axis_b, fn_iu_filter_axis_c_subtree, fn_iu_subtree, fn_iu_sql_link_validate_all/resolve_all + 5 DOT wrappers committed	Mark b/c/f-read DONE (live); cite catalog rows.
P2	d/e/f durable tests pending	LIVE: split/merge SECDEF additive (review_decision_id FK-probed), DLQ route+replay, emit_enabled gate — all governed-tested	Mark d/e/f PASS; note split/merge require review_decision_id, not gate.
P3	gate protocol design-only	LIVE: iu_gate_transition + fn_iu_gate_open/close/verify_closed/watchdog, 4+ catalog rows; fail-closed	Mark bounded gate protocol ENACTED-DORMANT; fn_iu_gate_verify_closed() is canonical health probe.
P4	DLQ replay TBD	LIVE: fn_iu_route_dead_letter_replay gated by routes-master gate (not queue.dlq.replay_enabled)	Document actual gating.
P5	emit_enabled unspecified	LIVE: piece_event_runtime.emit_enabled governable gate (false)	Add to gate board.
P6	KG iu_relation lacks provenance	LIVE: iu_relation +5 cols (provenance/confidence/evidence/assertion_mode/valid_time); 60 rows fully backfilled; v_kg_edges_all (security_invoker) UNION=2259; this campaign appended assertion_mode+evidence to the view	Replace KG section with live shape; note 8-atom vocab is a widen-pending CHECK (13-value dress-rehearsed).
P7	Candidate Registry = "to design"	LIVE: field/input_form/tier_registry ABSENT but DDL + birth-contract dress-rehearsed; reuse map fixed (5/8 reuse). Birth gate = meta_catalog-managed + PREFIX-NNN + Đ32	Replace with "build-ready, birth dress-rehearsed, blocked on meta_catalog+code+Đ32".
P8	IU pilot readiness unclear	LIVE: LIMITED-PRODUCTION-PILOT READY (a–f pass, durable run committed, DLQ replay proven)	Mark pilot-ready; link doc 10.
P9	4 Mothers gates vague	LIVE captured: G1 (birth gate exact), G2 (review-ready law), G3 (review_decision 37-col schema), G4 (factory rows insertable, status∈{active,draft,retired}, gov_type/group free)	Replace gate board with doc 00 §3 table.
P10	governance_registry generic	LIVE: 5 rows all council/system, keyed by code, columns gov_type/gov_group/output_target/domain/primary_collection/created_by_law/health_dot/status; no capability columns	Note capability-matrix needs a new column/table for 4 Mothers can_create/reference/must_not_own.

Application note

These are doc patches (design truth), not schema changes. The schema is already live-correct. After applying, the design no longer mislabels live machinery as paper. No design content invented — every patch traces to a live query_pg/pg_schema/ssh introspection in this campaign.
