37 — Backfill / Handoff / Input-Control (GCOS) Self-Review & Acceptance

Path: knowledge/dev/reports/architecture/one-roof-governance-technical-addendum-and-implementation-index-2026-06-01/ Doc: 37. Self-review & acceptance for docs 31–36 (GCOS addendum). Continues docs 15/22/30 (self-review). Status: PASS (design-only). Mutation footprint: KB documents only (docs 31–37 created); read-only PG; zero Directus/Qdrant/Nuxt/schema/DOT/event/law/approval mutation.


1. Acceptance criteria (mission §10) — line by line

# Criterion Verdict Evidence
1 State recovery complete PASS Read docs 00, 03, 24, 25, concept canon 01–02, 3 GPT-direction docs, the mission law; live read-only survey of 14 reuse-target tables + counts. §2 below.
2 Backfill design complete PASS Doc 31 — all 10 questions answered; cursor/snapshot/ruleset/idempotency/coverage-proof/retry-DLQ/issue-types/budget; birth-orphan vs governance-orphan; 1.04M scale.
3 Handoff ledger/queue design complete PASS Doc 32 — durable/replay/idempotency/retry/DLQ/coalesce/ordering/provenance/no-lost; reuse-vs-new = hybrid reuse-first; Điều 45-compliant; Birth not modified (proof §4).
4 Input-quality gate design complete PASS Doc 33 — all controls + 10 input states + the NOT-orphan rule (bad input ≠ governance-orphan).
5 Incremental dirty-group candidate scan design complete PASS Doc 34 — snapshot+ruleset+time keying (no "checked forever"); group_key; invalidation triggers; 3 scan modes; stale fail-closed prod gate; count>1 candidacy.
6 T6/T7 compatibility assessed PASS Doc 35 §3 — what stays valid, what needs addendum (11 patches), what must not build until incorporated, +4 DOTs, exact patch plan.
7 Scale/resource controls defined PASS Doc 35 §4 — 15 controls sized to live 1.04M/78-registry/5 s-timeout reality; no-silent-cap rule.
8 All docs under the implementation-index package PASS Docs 31–37 all under …/one-roof-governance-technical-addendum-and-implementation-index-2026-06-01/. No competing package.
9 No implementation occurred PASS Design-only; nothing built/registered/emitted/applied. §3.
10 No unsafe mutation occurred PASS KB-only writes; read-only PG (role context_pack_readonly). §3.
11 No Birth modification required unless proven unavoidable PASS Doc 32 §4 — default Option A (cursor-tail) modifies Birth zero ways; trigger option B is optional/deferred to C-7; option C (inline) rejected.
12 No hardcoded current object/axis lists introduced PASS All inventories from registries/meta_catalog/Axis Registry; group_key/ruleset_version computed; trust/TTL = config. §4.

Overall: PASS.


2. State-recovery verdict

  • Latest controlling package: …/one-roof-governance-technical-addendum-and-implementation-index-2026-06-01/ (docs 00–30 pre-existing; 31–37 added by this macro). Concept canon 00–03 is read-only reference. Round-4 law-hardening + the mission law sit above.
  • What T6/T7 already designed: T7 (doc 24) = governance event domain + 20 issue types + Đ45 register-before-emit + anti-spam + routing/suppression. T6 (doc 25) = scan→detect→classify→propose→[approve]→apply(NO-GO)→audit lifecycle, 6-layer detector, 7-DOT family, no-hardcode inventory sourcing, governance-twin-of-birth reconciliation, SB-7/SB-8.
  • What was missing (this macro fills): (1) backfill of the ~1.04M already-born backlog without omission/endless rescans; (2) durable Birth/Registry→Governance handoff; (3) input-quality gate before classification; (4) incremental dirty-group candidate scan keyed by snapshot+ruleset so "already checked" never goes stale. Root cause: T6 L1 rebuilt the full inventory every pass and had no durable per-object/group result state, no intake, no input gate.
  • Allowed work (Design-Only Macro Mode, law §4H): KB survey, read-only live survey, design packs, compatibility matrix, implementation backlog, risk/blocker register. Done.
  • Forbidden work: all PG/Directus/Qdrant/Nuxt mutation; table/view/function/trigger; DOT/event registration; emit; approval/enactment/version-bump; Birth modification; hardcode; local island. Honored.
  • Why design-only: Survey-Then-Design Gate (law §4I) — apply/remediation binding is NO-GO (SB-1+SB-2+SB-3 open, doc 03); the concept tier is GO and T3/T4/T7/T6 designs are complete, so a design-pack macro is the correct scale. GCOS build additionally needs new blockers SB-10..SB-13 + C-7 (doc 35 §2).

3. Mutation-footprint attestation (Hard Gate 0 / mission §2, §11)

Confirmation Status
KB read/write access Confirmed — read 31 pre-existing docs; created docs 31–37 (revision 1 each).
Live PG read-only access Confirmed — role context_pack_readonly, READ ONLY txn, 5 s timeout, 500-row LIMIT.
No persistent PG mutation Confirmed — only SELECT/information_schema introspection issued.
No Directus / Qdrant / Nuxt mutation Confirmed — none issued.
No table/view/function/trigger creation Confirmed — none; SB-10..SB-13 are proposed, not created.
No DOT/event registration Confirmed — GCOS DOTs + governance event types specified, not registered.
No event/job/notification emit Confirmed — register-before-emit honored; nothing emitted.
No law enactment / version bump / status change Confirmed — no normative_registry/law_catalog/governance_docs write.
No approval creation / self-approval Confirmedos_proposal_approvals untouched (still 0 ⇒ COMMIT_FORBIDDEN respected).
All new docs under the implementation-index package Confirmed — paths in §1 #8.
Existing docs unchanged Confirmed — docs 00/24/25/29 etc. not edited (no-patch decision, doc 35 §0.2); zero revision bump on any pre-existing doc.
Birth process unmodified Confirmed — default handoff = read-only cursor-tail (doc 32 §4).

4. No-hardcode / no-island / no-second-roof attestation

  • No-hardcode: object/class inventory ← birth_registry + meta_catalog (169) + per-class registry_collection; axes ← Axis Registry (interim pivot_definitions); scopes ← governance_responsibility_scope; profiles ← M-DEF-2 registry; group_key and ruleset_version are computed; trust levels and TTLs are config (C-7), not code. No current object/axis array appears in any design.
  • No-island / no-second-roof: GCOS adds exactly one new record kind (the candidate-state store, SB-10) modeled on the live derived_objects_registry pattern, and otherwise reuses birth_registry, registry_changelog, event_outbox, event_pending, event_type_registry, system_issues, iu_route_worker_cursor, evolution_snapshots, measurement_registry, collection_registry.coverage_status, dot_coverage_required. One detector (GOV-SIV), one issue store (system_issues), one emit path (event_outbox, Đ45), one audit (registry_changelog), one event domain (governance). No parallel bus/store/notifier/owner/approval is minted.
  • Đ45 discipline (Branch B): queue carries signal not data; event≠job; executor boundary; MOT-not-executor; silent-gap/heartbeat — all preserved (doc 32 §1).

5. Weaknesses & residual risks (honest)

  1. Owner-dependent verdicts degrade pre-SB-2. Candidate relevant→coverage owner work needs SB-2 views; until then GCOS classifies only non-owner aspects and marks owner findings design-stage (same graceful-degradation contract as T6). Not a defect — a stated dependency.
  2. Backfill scale assumption. 1.04M is the born population; the governance-grain count (roots+non-inheriting+containers) is smaller but un-measured here (would require SB-2/profile registry to compute). The coverage proof (doc 31 §9) is specified but its closing numbers are computable only post-build. Flagged.
  3. Cursor-tail latency vs trigger. The no-Birth-touch default (Option A) trades a poll-interval of latency for safety; the optional observer trigger (Option B) needs the C-7 ruling. Acceptable; latency is bounded and visible (handoff_lag finding).
  4. Ruleset_version hashing must be deterministic. If the hash inputs (enabled detectors/profiles/axes/scopes) are unstable in ordering, a spurious bump could over-dirty. Mitigation noted (canonical ordering); to be proven in SB-12 design (P2).
  5. No-patch-of-old-docs means a reader of doc 00 won't see 31–37 without listing the package. Mitigated by doc 35 (integration map) + this macro's memory pointer + the next-prompts preamble (doc 36). A future curator may add one-line pointers (content-only).
  6. GCOS not yet red-teamed. Docs 31–35 are first-pass design; the adversarial pass is queued as P5 (doc 36) before any build — correctly gated.
  7. New blockers (SB-10..SB-13, C-7) are self-declared. They are honest substrate/decision gaps, not self-approvals; none is treated as resolved, and the gate table (doc 35 §6) keeps every build tier NO-GO.

6. Continuation contract

  • Entrypoint unchanged: doc 00 remains the controlling read-me-first; GCOS docs 31–35 are its backfill/handoff/input-control addendum; doc 36 carries the next prompts.
  • Conflict order (doc 00 §0.2) preserved: this index > concept canon > Round-4 law > earlier rounds; blockers win; unclear → STOP.
  • Next macro (critical path): P5 (GCOS critique/red-team) ∥ P1 (C-7 decision packet), then the substrate-design chain P2→P3→P4 (SB-12/13 → SB-10 → SB-11). T6/T7 patch (P6) only after build authorization. Standing council/human track (C-1/C-2, OP-B, H-1/H-2) runs in parallel and still gates owner work + apply.

7. Verdict

Backfill / Handoff / Input-Control (GCOS) addendum: PASS — design-only, zero mutation. Seven docs (31–37) added under the implementation-index package. The four missing operational layers — backfill onboarding, durable Đ45 handoff (no Birth modification), input-quality gate (bad-input ≠ governance-orphan), and incremental snapshot+ruleset-keyed dirty-group candidate scan (no "checked forever", fail-closed on stale) — are fully designed, reconciled with T6/T7 (with an exact patch plan), and bounded by a live-scale resource budget. Reuse-first, no-hardcode, no-island, Đ45-compliant, apply/build NO-GO. New blockers SB-10..SB-13 + council item C-7 registered; nothing built, registered, emitted, applied, enacted, or self-approved.
