12 — Final Summary

Status: PARTIAL by contract (job:cut birth, dot:kg real-run/owner/split, AX-PROCESS canon, event activation remain owner-gated) — but the defining blocker of the whole chapter is cleared: the first true DRY_RUN ran end-to-end.

Branch outcomes

• A Endpoint deploy/bind/DRY_RUN — COMPLETE. Executor deployed internal-only; OpenAI credential reused (owner-authorized); /selfcheck 7/7; real gpt-4o /dispatch verifier 5/5 is_mock=false; REAL_RUN 403; endpoint bound; genuine DRY_RUN observation recorded (upgraded from SIMULATED with real evidence).
• B v8/UI — COMPLETE. 4 v8 views live; 8-surface UI/API packet ready (operator deploy).
• C job:cut — COMPLETE (packet). verified_candidate re-confirmed; no unretirable approval insert (deliberate); exact owner action defined.
• D dot:kg — COMPLETE (packet). Advanced to dry_run_observed; sequence + 10-def split + owner/event packets ready; next safe step = correlated EXPLAIN+VERIFY dry-run pair.
• E AX-PROCESS pivots — COMPLETE (readiness). Candidate surfaces live; canon owner-gated (no unretirable births).
• F policy scheduler — COMPLETE. Read-only daily systemd scan installed + enabled.
• G return-to-content — COMPLETE. Verdict GO; content unblocked.
• H roadmap — COMPLETE. 3 macros.
• I safety audit — PASS.

Live mutation: YES — additive/reversible

container + 1 contract bind + 1 DRY_RUN observation + 4 views + 1 systemd timer/script. births 1,163,464 == before; guard 129.

Key numbers

DRY_RUN=1 (dot:kg) · REAL_RUN=0 · endpoints_bound=1 (DOT_KG_EXPLAIN; VERIFY intentionally unbound) · verified_candidates=1 (job:cut) · orphan_components=84 · correlation_gaps=17.

Exact remaining blocker (single)

Owner/governance decisions only: assign owners (governance_object_ownership empty) → canon PIV-340..353 → birth job:cut → split+birth dot:kg 10 defs → activate process.* events → (separately) enable runtime gates for the first REAL_RUN. No engineering blocker remains in the dry-run/endpoint/UI/policy layer.
