05 — Drift / Action Queue Watch

Verdict: CLEAN — DRIFT TEETH INTACT, ACTION QUEUES FULLY FAIL-CLOSED, AUTHORITY-BLOCKED ITEMS STILL BLOCKED

A. Drift detector (v_rp_db_host_source_drift_detector) — 6 rows, teeth intact

drift_check db host class disposition actionable
dot_cron_declared_vs_host_crontab_mapped 42 7 REGISTRY_NO_FILE NEEDS_OWNER_RECONCILE true
fs_dot_bin_files_no_registry 101 0 FILE_NO_REGISTRY T1_CAN_TRIAGE true
trigger_registry_snapshot_vs_live_pg_trigger 107 408 STALE_SNAPSHOT NEEDS_OWNER_RECONCILE true
scanner_provenance_age_vs_real_run_age 0 0 STALE_SNAPSHOT T1_CAN_WIRE true
pg_trigger_census_vs_live_adapter 408 410 STALE_SNAPSHOT_MINOR OK_DAILY_REFRESH false
job_queue_kinds_vs_rows 8 13 GRAIN_DIFF OK_BY_DESIGN false

4 actionable + 2 by-design — exactly matching the prior checkpoint. The detector still distinguishes real drift from grain/minor differences (job_queue 8 kinds vs 13 rows is correctly GRAIN_DIFF, not drift; pg_trigger 408 vs 410 is minor daily-refresh). The teeth are not blunted: scanner_provenance correctly remains actionable (the lie is detected, not hidden).

B. Action queue reality (v_rp_action_queue_reality_status) — fully fail-closed

queue items reality_class
candidate_actions_safe_triage 7 EXECUTABLE (birth-free, preview-gated)
orphan_remediation_ai_can_handle 132 HANDLER_READY (preview-gated, birth-free)
candidate_actions_owner_gated 2 OWNER_BLOCKED
orphan_remediation_owner_needed 11 OWNER_BLOCKED
residual_awaiting_owner_reconcile 2 OWNER_BLOCKED
candidate_actions_president_gated 2 AUTHORITY_BLOCKED
orphan_remediation_birth_or_canon 0 AUTHORITY_BLOCKED (FAIL_CLOSED_PRESIDENT)
proc_own_approval_requests 5 AUTHORITY_BLOCKED (0 president votes)

Totals: 7 EXECUTABLE + 132 HANDLER_READY + 15 OWNER_BLOCKED (2+11+2) + 7 AUTHORITY_BLOCKED (2+0+5). Identical to the prior checkpoint. Every owner-gated and president-gated queue remains blocked; only the birth-free, preview-gated safe-triage / handler-ready items are marked executable. No authority-blocked item has been released — consistent with area 02 (zero president votes, all PROC-OWN pending, ownership 0).

C. Interpretation

The drift detector retains its teeth and the action queue is correctly fail-closed. The 7 EXECUTABLE + 132 HANDLER_READY items are the legitimate birth-free / preview-gated surface T1 is authorised to actuate as dry-run/preview; the 15 owner-blocked and 7 authority-blocked items remain locked because no real owner or president authority has landed.

D. What T1 must re-confirm at final

  1. If T1 actuates the 7 EXECUTABLE / 132 HANDLER_READY items, confirm each produces a phase=PREVIEW (not EXECUTE) log row and is birth-free.
  2. Confirm the 15 OWNER_BLOCKED and 7 AUTHORITY_BLOCKED items remain blocked unless a genuine owner assignment / president vote landed (none had at audit time).
  3. After any provenance wiring, re-confirm the drift detector still shows 4 actionable + 2 by-design and has not lost teeth (e.g., scanner_provenance must only leave the actionable set if genuinely fixed).
