11 — No-Hardcode & Pivot-Only Compliance

No-hardcode audit of THIS run's artifacts

artifact	hardcode check	verdict
v_registry_leaf_set	keys on composition_level/entity_type only; no CAT list	✅
v_count_integrity etc.	scalar-EXISTS on registry_collection=source_object; no literal counts	✅
drift_classification	derived from source_model + sign; no per-row literals	✅
PIV-500/301	view-backed (v_count_rollup_src); category set is data, not code	✅
PIV-311	groups by label_code (data); 23 emerges from data, not hardcoded	✅
parent_code graph	13 edges are a data overlay (UPDATE), not frontend logic	✅
display_policy	ceiling 50 = a CHECK + table row (config), not an if count>50 in code	✅
registry_pin	scope set is a CHECK constraint (data), pins are rows	✅

No count, category, species, layer, label, pin, or threshold is hardcoded in any artifact produced this run. Every count is pivot-backed or explicitly PIVOT_MISSING.

Pivot-only counting (Đ26)

• Grand total = PIV-500 (view-backed grouped-sum), proven by real pivot_query().
• Orphan = PIV-301; drift = PIV-303; phantom-candidate = PIV-302; labels = PIV-311.
• 139 leaves are honestly PIVOT_MISSING in v_living_lists (not faked).
• pivot_count/pivot_query is the ONLY count path; the views never invent numbers.

Legacy Đ28 violations (NOT fixed here — Macro 2.6/3.2, recorded for cutover)

/api/registry/health totalGap = reduce(+Math.abs(gap)); index.vue hardcoded CAT-017 + orphan_count: hd.totalGap; [entityType].ts / raw-counts.ts reduce math. These remain on the legacy page; convergence retires them. GOOD pattern = pivot-query.get.ts.

Forbidden-compliance matrix (§12 of the mission)

forbidden	status
COMMIT without valid approval	✅ none — COMMIT_FORBIDDEN_NO_APPROVAL
self-approval / fake approval	✅ none — agent recorded, never signed; machine approvals classified invalid
persistent PG mutation	✅ none — entry == exit, all BEGIN..ROLLBACK
Directus mutation	✅ none
Qdrant / vector write	✅ none (KB uploads are documents, not vector writes by me)
production Nuxt change	✅ none
route cutover	✅ none
legacy retirement	✅ none
frontend business logic	✅ none introduced
hardcoded counts/categories/species/layers/labels/pins/thresholds	✅ none
event/job execution	✅ none
notification emit	✅ none
row-by-row pivot insert (repeated refresh)	✅ none — bundle was ONE statement (INSERT 0 5)
leaving idle transactions	✅ none — idle_in_tx = 0 after every section + final sweep

Laws honored

Đ20 (design-before-impl: design exists, commit gated), Đ26 (pivot-only count), Đ28 (Nuxt boundary / no frontend count logic), Đ30 (reversible, doc 10), Đ31 (audit: full evidence doc 09), Đ32 (no self-approval, doc 02), Đ35/36/37 (DOT/collection/gov unaffected), Đ45 (event/queue not fired).
