Verdict: CANON_BLOCKED_OWNER_ONLY (unchanged; all engineering cleared, gate is governance authority).

Hard-truth categorization

• Official: 0 (no axis_assignment; axis is candidate).
• Candidate-visible (operational): 69 objects / 19 candidates / 17 clusters / 373 DB defs.
• Owner-gated: 19 (11 docker-runtime + 8 dot/bin reconcile) + the 6 candidate confirmations + 5 PROC-OWN APRs.
• Needs evidence: 0 (hardened this run).
• Unresolved residual: 19 owner decisions, 0 evidence.
• Not-process / OS-level: 42 accepted.
• Birth-ready: 0 (no owner/canon yet).
• Canon-ready: axis not canon → 0.
• Content-ready: YES (4 published + backlog).

Why the verdict is OWNER_ONLY and not something else

• Not CANON_BLOCKED_UI_NOT_DEPLOYED: UI deploy is access-gated but is not what blocks canon; the data layer is complete and canon does not depend on the frontend.
• Not CANON_BLOCKED_RESIDUAL_QUALITY: residual evidence-gated is now 0; remaining residual is owner decisions.
• Not CANON_BLOCKED_POLICY: no policy forbids the path; the path is built and fail-closed.
• It is owner/governance authority only: PROC-OWN-01 (axis owner) → PROC-OWN-02 (axis canon) → owner confirms → president births → axis_assignment.

Single exact blocker

A human president must vote PROC-OWN-01 then PROC-OWN-02. Everything official flows from there.
