02 — Authority Blockers (live gate status)

Eight authority blockers. None has a missing engineering handler; every one is gated on a human authority signal that AI cannot and must not supply.

Handler readiness (live, v_process_axis_post_vote_handler_readiness)

All five post-vote handlers exist and are fail-closed; all report BLOCKED_NO_PRESIDENT_VOTE (president_vote_present=false, axis_owner_present=false):

Code	request_type	action	handler	needs_axis_owner_first	gate
PROC-OWN-01	axis_ownership	assign_axis_owner	fn_pa_handler_assign_axis_owner	no	BLOCKED_NO_PRESIDENT_VOTE
PROC-OWN-02	axis_canon	register_axis	fn_pa_handler_register_axis	yes	BLOCKED_NO_PRESIDENT_VOTE
PROC-OWN-03	process_registration	assign_governance_owner	fn_pa_handler_register_process	yes	BLOCKED_NO_PRESIDENT_VOTE
PROC-OWN-04	process_family_registration	assign_governance_owner	fn_pa_handler_assign_governance_owner	no	BLOCKED_NO_PRESIDENT_VOTE
PROC-OWN-05	event_activation	activate_event_type	fn_pa_handler_activate_event_type	yes	BLOCKED_NO_PRESIDENT_VOTE

Officialization dependency chain (live, v_process_axis_officialization_sequence)

PROC-OWN-01  AX-PROCESS owner            (root)        -> governance_object_ownership(axis:AX-PROCESS)
  |-- PROC-OWN-02  AX-PROCESS canon/ACTIVE             -> axis_registry status=ACTIVE
  |     |-- PROC-OWN-03  register job:cut              -> axis_assignment (official RP 0->1)
  |     |-- PROC-OWN-05  activate process.* events     -> event_type_registry active=true (7 rows)
  |-- PROC-OWN-04  dot:kg family governance owner      -> enables 10-process split post REAL_RUN

Every step next_action_required = "AWAIT: human-president approve vote".

The eight blockers

1. PROC-OWN-01 — AX-PROCESS owner. Root of the chain. Votes 0. No ownership row. Blocks 02 and 04.
2. PROC-OWN-02 — AX-PROCESS canon/active. Depends on 01. AX-PROCESS still CANDIDATE.
3. PROC-OWN-03 — job:cut officialization. Depends on 02. job:cut = sole verified candidate (8 members, VERIFIED_PENDING_OWNER); flips official AX-PROCESS RP 0→1.
4. PROC-OWN-04 — dot:kg owner / split after REAL_RUN. Depends on 01. Owner assignment is vote-gated; the 10-process split additionally needs REAL_RUN evidence (currently 0; real_run_enabled=false).
5. PROC-OWN-05 — process. events.* Depends on 02. 7 event types all active=false.
6. AX-TRIGGER owner/canon. No approval_request exists and AX-TRIGGER is absent from axis_registry. Engineering surfaces/census done (read-only). Needs an owner to file a canon request, then president vote. Not faked.
7. UI rebase/PR/deploy. Operator-only. Diverged public nuxt git + PR branch feat/process-axis-dashboard. Not a president-vote item.
8. dot:kg real_run_enabled flip. Operator/owner config change behind the REALRUN multi-gate. Not a president-vote item.

Hard truth on authority

• Blockers 1–6 cannot advance without a human-president approve vote (6 additionally needs a request authored first).
• Blockers 7–8 are operator/owner actions, not president votes.
• Zero engineering blockers. Every handler is built, fail-closed, and waiting.
