02 — Authority Boundary (live read-only proof)

Every authority surface re-queried live via query_pg (RO). Result: boundary fully HELD — no authority has landed or leaked.

Surface	Live value (2026-06-05)	Expected (no authority)	Verdict
PROC-OWN-01..05	5 rows, all status=pending, action=review	pending	✅ HELD
Votes (apr_approvals joined to PROC-OWN via apr_id)	0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0	0	✅ HELD
governance_object_ownership	0	0	✅ HELD
process_axis_delegation	0	0	✅ HELD
approval_requests (total)	230	unchanged	✅ HELD
axis_assignment	25 (all AX-TOPIC; AX-PROCESS 0)	25 / 0	✅ HELD
axis_registry	2 — AX-PROCESS=CANDIDATE, AX-TOPIC=CANDIDATE; AX-TRIGGER absent	2, no AX-TRIGGER	✅ HELD
event_type_registry process.*	7 rows, all active=false (0/7)	0/7	✅ HELD
dot_config real_run flags	process_dot_runtime.real_run_enabled=false, …execute_enabled=false, …dry_run_only=true (also piece_event_runtime.dry_run_only=true, queue.lease.reaper_dry_run_only=true)	false/false/true	✅ HELD
process_run_observation	DRY_RUN 2, SIMULATED_DRY_RUN 4, REAL_RUN 0	REAL_RUN 0	✅ HELD

Officialization chain (still entirely upstream of any write)

PROC-OWN-01 (owner) → PROC-OWN-02 (AX-PROCESS canon) → { PROC-OWN-03 job:cut RP 0→1 · PROC-OWN-05 events }; PROC-OWN-04 (dot:kg owner) branches off 01. Plus AX-TRIGGER (no request, absent), UI deploy (operator), real_run flips (operator/owner).

Handler posture

All 5 post-vote handlers fn_pa_handler_* exist and are fail-closed = BLOCKED_NO_PRESIDENT_VOTE (per checkpoints; consistent with 0 votes live). They cannot self-write canon, and an AI agent can never cast a president vote.

Boundary verdict: HELD. Zero authority present. Every officialization action is correctly gated and fail-closed.
