• Macro: REGISTRIES_PIVOT_RETURN_MINIMAL_GUARD_CLOSURE
• Date: 2026-06-03
• Final status: PARTIAL
• End state: RP_BLOCKED_MINIMAL (cleanup) + Path 3 no-mutation resume available
• Execution mode: read-only verification; cleanup = BLOCKED_EXTERNAL_AUTHORITY
• Live mutation: NONE (prod byte-identical)

Live BLOCK dims (== prior checkpoints)

orphan_critical 59 (54 dot_iu_command_catalog + 5 pivot collisions) · phantom_real 6 · fs_no_registry 16 · dot_pivot_update_not_governed 1. Safety-net 10 objects + RP view live.

Global vs RP-specific

Only dot_pivot_update_not_governed=1 (tool gate) is a true RP-cleanup blocker. 54 iu_cmd, 6 phantoms, 15 of 16 FS files are non-RP global hygiene. 3 cleanup targets (PIV-001/016/021) are born; 5 unborn pivots are a separate birth-collision, not cleanup targets.

Chosen path

RP cleanup: register/birth dot-pivot-update (Path 1), blocked on dot-dot-register creds. Substitute (Path 2) unavailable. RP/IU work: resume now (Path 3, no mutation).

Scoped guard result

RP-scoped preflight authored paste-ready reversible; NOT applied. Verdict given live state = RP_BLOCKED_MINIMAL: tool unborn.

dot-pivot-update status

STILL INVALID — STAGED_FILE_ONLY / UNBORN / NOT_VALID_DOT (sha256 3313c057…effc5).

Smallest remaining blocker

One credential: dot-dot-register (registrar). Everything else is non-RP global hygiene.

RP cleanup decision

NO-GO for the 3 fixes (tool-gated). GO for RP/IU resume (Path 3).

Next macro

REGISTRIES_PIVOT_DOT_PIVOT_UPDATE_REGISTER_AND_COMMIT (operator, creds-gated) — or resume IU work on the live view if creds remain absent.
