02 — Governance Final Status

Date: 2026-06-03. Four buckets kept strictly separate: DONE, PRODUCTION-LIVE, CLONE-PROVEN (not production), PACKAGED-BUT-GATED, plus FORBIDDEN.

A. What is DONE (engineering-complete)

• Governance Phase-1 design + substrate engineering complete.
• All rollout SQL consolidated into ONE canonical, dependency-ordered, self-guarding, gated release (production-release-engineering ultra-macro): 11 tables + 31 views + functions, tiers T0 gate → T8 verify.
• Hash audit: SHA256 manifest 25/25 (release-mgmt) / package manifests OK; KB copies byte-identical to canonical.
• Greenfield executor rehearsal on a fresh clone from CURRENT production: exit 0 across all 8 tiers (gap 210→0, containment 35→0, divergent 0, critical 0, emittable 0); executor proven environment-adaptive, not clone-coupled; rollback idempotent → greenfield.
• Gate monitor (gate_check.sql + .sh, read-only, no daemon) authored and live-validated → BLOCKED | ospa<1.
• Post-gate execution prompt authored and double-gated (prompt hard-stop + executor 00_preflight abort).
• Option-3 inert-shadow deploy evaluated and REJECTED (shadow makes canonical 00_preflight ABORT when ratification later arrives, sabotaging one-shot rollout, zero user benefit → use status-quo until ratification).
• GPT review accepted the release-management finalization.

B. What is PRODUCTION-LIVE right now (verified 2026-06-03)

Production = directus. Live, real, read-confirmed:

• Seam views are LIVE and honest: v_governance_object_inventory = 35 governed objects; v_object_owner_gap = 210 (full gap, nothing owned); v_object_owner_conflict = 0.
• Inert substrate tables exist (empty/unseeded): ownership=0, candidate_object=0, candidate_state=0, ruleset=0, scan_run=0, worker_cursor=0.
• Reference data: governance_responsibility_scope=6, governance_registry=9, governance_relations=8.
• Event boundary fail-closed: governance event types inactive; event_outbox WHERE event_domain='governance' = 0. (Total event_outbox 195,980 is organic non-governance traffic.)
• No axis substrate, no topic substrate in production.
• Gate: ospa=0 → CLOSED. idle_in_txn=0.

Net: production carries the inert governance skeleton — it can SEE the 35 objects and honestly report a 210 gap, but it owns nothing, scans nothing, and emits nothing.

C. What is CLONE-PROVEN (evidence only — NOT production)

Proven on clone(s) directus_gov_test_20260602 / directus_gov_rehearsal_20260603, then dropped (golden snapshot /tmp/clone_finalized_2026-06-03.dump retained). These are NOT production interfaces:

• Ownership seed (30 group-level anchors) → gap 210→0.
• Axis substrate: 6 tables, 3 axes (responsibility active 210/gap0; topic active; containment), full axis view set.
• Topic promotion + reconcile (topic_taxonomy_map; entity_labels 803,955 backed; divergent→0; projection_gap→0).
• Containment activation: 35 real assignments + 35 ownership rows, gap 0, fail-closed negatives.
• Scanner populated: fn_governance_scan + scan_run + drift_state; ~38 findings, idempotent ×3; 0 critical.
• Event/issue boundary tested fail-closed; 7 v_ui_* UI/API views live (on clone).
• Greenfield executor rehearsal: full tier 0→8 exit 0; rollback → greenfield.

D. What is PACKAGED BUT GATED (ready, not executed)

• Canonical production executor sql/prod/99_run_all.sql (Tiers 0–6 + verify), self-guarding, ON_ERROR_STOP.
• Production rollback sql/prod_rollback/99_rollback_full.sql (→ ownership=0, gap=210, axis absent).
• Production verification suite (Tier 8).
• Gate monitor + post-gate prompt ONE_ROOF_PRODUCTION_ROLLOUT_EXECUTE_ON_RATIFICATION.
• All blocked on ospa ≥ 1 (human L2/L4 ratification of the ownership-accountability APR).

E. What is still FORBIDDEN

• Executing the production rollout while ospa < 1.
• Seeding production ownership, building axis/topic, populating scanner, or activating governance events outside the gated rollout.
• Any clone mutation; treating clone results as production truth.
• Writing system_issues; emitting events; DOT/handler/UI/Nuxt/Directus/Qdrant mutation; approval/e-sign/os_proposal writes; law/version/status changes.

F. Single blocker

Human L2/L4 ratification → os_proposal_approvals ≥ 1. Until then every production governance activation is NO-GO. Nothing the Agent can do unblocks it; it is intentionally a human gate.
