13 — Self-Review

Completion criteria (mission §9): 1 state recovery ✅(00); 2 production safety verified ✅(01,10); 3 clone created & isolated ✅(02,03); 4 production unchanged ✅(10 identical fingerprint); 5 ownership seed committed on clone ✅(04 gap 210→0); 6 scanner read tested ✅(05 100%); 7 scanner write/candidate tested ✅(06 idempotent/bounded); 8 issue/event/log boundary tested ✅(07 fail-closed); 9 worker/cursor simulated ✅(08 monotonic/idempotent); 10 rollback/drop/reset proven ✅(09); 11 production rollout lessons ✅(11); 12 KB published/readable ✅(verified post-publish); 13 no forbidden action ✅(10). Overall PASS (not PARTIAL — no stage blocked; every A–G objective executed).

What went right: chose the clone topology that both preserves fidelity (full in-instance restore, roles present) and hardens safety (MCP read channel allowlist-locked OUT of the clone, so production-impact checks are uncounterfeitable); drove genuinely persistent commits for the first time (seed, candidate state, cursor) while keeping production at exactly zero mutation; every write step carried structural pre/post asserts and a side-effect guard (gov_emit, system_issues).

Honest limitations: clone ≠ production authorization (green clone does NOT open the sovereign gate; not a substitute for L2/L4 ratification — stated in 00/11/12); cosmetic schema md5 drift for one view (array-cast rendering) investigated and shown semantically identical; candidate materialization used placeholder source_snapshot_ref=1 and materialization_reason=indep_authoritative for all 35 to exercise the path — production should derive reason per object (clone proved mechanics, not production materialization policy); MCP query_pg cannot read the clone so clone verification used ssh+psql (independent-channel discipline preserved where it matters most — proving production unchanged — via the production-only MCP channel); emit + worker daemon deliberately not activated (only validated/simulated) so live emit→dispatch path unproven by design (must stay off until governed).

Forbidden-action audit: production zero writes (only pg_dump read snapshot); no Directus/Qdrant/Nuxt mutation; no os_proposal_approvals/approval/e-sign/law/version writes anywhere; no real external notification or outbound dispatch (emit blocked fail-closed); no production app retargeting; no hidden governance island (clone clearly named, documented, droppable); no hardcoded fake authorization; no claim clone==production authorization. Compliant.

Confidence: high on all executed claims — each backed by committed query output and (for production) a re-verified fingerprint. Single open item is external: human ratification.
