02 — Governed Officialization & Owner Decision Path

Authority check (live): NONE exists

  • PROC-OWN-01..05 all pending, action='review'. apr_approvals on them = 0. President votes = 0.
  • ownership 0, delegation 0, build_authorization 0. Governance is council-based (GOV-COUNCIL, NRM-LAW-37) but no human-president approve vote has been cast.
  • ⇒ Officialization is correctly impossible today. Not faked.

What was built (additive, birth-free, applied at birth 1,174,004 == 1,174,004)

Five fail-closed post-vote domain handlers + a readiness view:

  • fn_pa_handler_assign_axis_owner (PROC-OWN-01) · fn_pa_handler_register_axis (02) · fn_pa_handler_register_process (03) · fn_pa_handler_assign_governance_owner (04) · fn_pa_handler_activate_event_type (05).
  • Shared gate helpers fn_pa_president_vote_present, fn_pa_owner_present; generic fn_pa_domain_handler (STABLE, side-effect-free).
  • View v_process_axis_post_vote_handler_readiness.

Fail-closed proof (live)

  • fn_pa_handler_register_process('alice','human')BLOCKED "no human-president approve vote on PROC-OWN-03 (apr_approvals=0)".
  • fn_pa_handler_assign_axis_owner('bot','ai_agent')BLOCKED "actor_type=ai_agent cannot satisfy president authority (human-only)".
  • Readiness view: all 5 rows BLOCKED_NO_PRESIDENT_VOTE.

Three gates per handler

  1. non-human actor can never satisfy president authority;
  2. a real human-president approve vote must exist on the apr;
  3. canon steps (02/03/05) additionally require axis ownership recorded first (PROC-OWN-01 precedes). Handlers never auto-write canon even when gates pass — the canon write is a deliberate, separately-run governance step. This complements the pre-existing fn_process_axis_execute_guarded_action (which is NOOP because no domain handler existed — now they exist, fail-closed).

Design note

An earlier version logged to process_axis_action_log, but that table FKs action_codeprocess_axis_action_vocabulary; the synthetic code was rejected. Fixed by making handlers side-effect-free (the readiness view is the durable surface). No log pollution.

Sequence to officialize (post-vote)

PROC-OWN-01 → 02 → 03 (job:cut becomes first official RP) → [dot:kg REAL_RUN] → 04 → 05.
