05 — Residual Owner/Evidence Audit (v_workflow_residual_evidence_hardening_v4)

Total residual = 23 (MATCHES prior T2). Breakdown by residual_state_v4:

residual_state_v4	count	nature	AI-resolvable later?
RESOLVED_ALREADY_MANAGED	9	already dot-managed	N/A — resolved
RESOLVED_NOT_PROCESS_ONE_SHOT	4	one-shot, not a process	N/A — resolved
RESOLVED_COMPONENT	4	component, not standalone process	N/A — resolved
RESOLVED_NOT_PROCESS	2	not a process	N/A — resolved
RESOLVED_COMPONENT_HEALTH_MON	1	health-monitor component	N/A — resolved
RESOLVED_COMPONENT_MAINTENANCE	1	maintenance component	N/A — resolved
AWAITING_OWNER_RECONCILE	2	genuine owner decision	NO — owner required

21 of 23 are RESOLVED (evidence-classified, no further action). The residual "debt" is 2 items, both under candidate WPC-DOT-BIN-RECONCILE:

object_key	member_role	evidence_v4
dot-pivot-update	IMPLEMENTATION	governed UPDATE DOT tool (composition_level/species) — genuine owner dot_tools register decision
4c12473167159f285b7e7837d260906c	ENTRYPOINT	(crontab hash; no evidence row) — needs owner reconcile to its implementation

Classification: owner vs evidence

• Evidence residuals: 0 open. Every evidence-gated item resolved in v4 (the v3→v4 hardening closed the evidence path).
• Owner residuals: 2 open. Both require an owner decision to register/reconcile a dot_tools entry — and registering a dot_tool mints an owner-gated birth.

Safe-for-AI-later vs owner-required

• Safe for AI later (read-only): continue to classify and surface the 2 reconcile items; produce a staged proposal. No mutation.
• Owner-required (AI must not): the actual dot_tools insert/update for dot-pivot-update and the crontab-hash entrypoint reconcile. These are birth-minting, owner-gated decisions — never AI-alone.

Verdict: residual is healthy — 21 resolved, 2 owner-gated, 0 engineering debt. Nothing here is an AI action item; the 2 open items wait on an owner.
