title: 12 — Self-Review date: 2026-05-31 overall: PASS (deferred path) — zero net mutation, all safe work done

12 — Self-Review

Acceptance criteria (mission §13) — scored

criterion	met?	evidence
approval status definitively classified	✅	NO_APPROVAL_FOUND, 3 live sources (doc 02)
if approval exists → commit safe+verified	n/a	no approval
if approval absent → commit deferred, SQL hot	✅	DEFERRED; pack GREEN, SHA256 recorded (doc 03/09)
missing-pivot bundle concrete	✅	PIV-500/301/302/303/311 proven by real engine (doc 04)
drilldown concrete + rehearsal-backed	✅	recursive walk + real UPDATE, 0 dangling (doc 05)
count gap re-evaluated	✅	+5,347, per-row action class (doc 06)
macro2/macro3 handoff concrete	✅	docs 07/08
all evidence + rollback docs exist	✅	docs 09/10
no unsafe mutation	✅	entry == exit, idle 0 (doc 01/09)

Verdict: PASS (PARTIAL/BLOCKED not applicable — meaningful work completed; the only "blocker", absence of approval, is the correct gated outcome, not an access failure).

What went beyond the prior package (added value)

1. Engine-level correction: discovered pivot_query's no-group branch hard-codes count(*) and ignores metric_spec → PIV-500 grand-total must be a view-backed grouped-sum, not a no-group sum. The prior temp-clone never executed the engine, so it missed this. Proven by running the real pivot_query() (PIV-500 → SUM 2,007,261).
2. In-transaction proof of the CAT-023 write-race: PIV-500 moved +5 inside the rehearsal as the refresh re-pulled live birth_registry — concrete evidence that the grand total is a live moving target and record>actual ≠ phantom.
3. Full recursive drilldown proof (depth-3, cycle-free, 0 dangling) + a real single-statement parent_code UPDATE rollback — not just a CTE shape check.
4. Decomposed the 139 PIVOT_MISSING by source_model (132 A / 1 B / 5 pg_table / 1 tax) and identified the 5 unmeasured as the pg_table rows needing a scan first.

Honest weaknesses / open risks

• net_gap is non-deterministic (CAT-023 live race). Any future "PASS on net_gap == N" test will flap; tests must assert closure (leaf_gap == drift_gap) and shape, not the absolute number. Documented, not yet enforced in CI.
• PIV-302 "phantom" is a candidate count only — promoting it requires RG4 (phantom law). Until then, the surface must label it "candidate", never "phantom".
• PIV-500/301 depend on committed views (v_count_rollup_src, v_registry_leaf_set): their commit must be ordered after the six-object/helper-view commit, else the refresh errors. Ordering captured in docs 04/07.
• The 132 model-A per-leaf pivots are designed-but-not-rehearsed individually (only the pattern is proven). Bulk INSERT remains a single-statement job for a later gate.
• Two heavy refresh triggers were fired (S4 insert, D6 update, C-B insert) — each bounded (<90 s), off-peak, rolled back, idle 0 after. Acceptable but not zero-cost; future runs should prefer temp-clone where engine execution is not strictly needed.

Process integrity

• Re-verified every load-bearing fact live at run time (approval, net_gap, coverage, engine source) rather than trusting memory — the "re-verify-before-author" rule.
• Authored docs only after results returned (no author-ahead-of-result fabrication).
• Agent recorded the approval need; did not sign (Đ32).

Next macro recommendation

Hand the ratification packet (doc 02 §E) to the human/council. On signature: Macro 2 = six-object commit → PIV-bundle commit (ordered) → parent_code commit → display_policy ∥ PIV-311 → registry_pin → RG4 phantom-law council → scan cadence → Directus exposure. Macro 3 = UI v2 wire → Nuxt shell → converge → acceptance → cutover.
