GPT Analysis — Phase 1 Blocked by Human E-sign M-1; Next Options

Date: 2026-06-01 Reviewer: GPT Council

Verdict

The agent was correct to block. os_proposal_approvals is not a generic technical approval table; it is a human e-signature surface. GPT delegated authorization cannot be represented there by an agent without forging a sovereign signature.

Current state

Engineering pre-code and rehearsal work is complete for Phase 1 foundations. Actual build is blocked only by the M-1 authorization mechanism and related formal decision records, not by technical readiness.

Implication

Do not keep retrying Phase 1 build prompts until the authorization path is resolved. Every correct agent will stop at M-1 again.

Safe next macro options

Option A — Human e-sign path: prepare a Directus/President-facing proposal package for manual e-sign, then rerun gated build after the row exists.

Option B — Governance-model patch: redesign M-1 so technical build authorization can be represented without misusing os_proposal_approvals; e.g. create a proper internal build authorization record distinct from human e-sign, with approval/audit/rollback and scoped authority.

Option C — Emergency/manual override: explicitly document a narrow break-glass path, but this is higher risk and should be avoided unless urgent.

Recommended path

Option B plus a minimal Option A handoff: build a proper internal authorization substrate and stop using a customer/proposal e-sign table as the technical COMMIT key. Until that exists, Phase 1 build must remain blocked or require real human Directus e-sign.
