04 — Registry-Driven Axis Source Binding

v_rp_axis_source_binding externalizes the per-axis source contract that was previously implicit in v1's UNION ALL literals. is_registry_backed is derived live from axis_registry (LEFT JOIN), not declared.

Findings

  • 2/5 axes registry-backed (AX-PROCESS, AX-TOPIC) — both pull node_source/substrate_resolver from axis_registry and are echoed as registry_node_source / registry_substrate_resolver.
  • 3/5 synthetic (AX-BASE, AX-TRIGGER, AX-PXT) — not in axis_registry; their binding now lives in declarative metadata rather than buried in v1 SQL.
  • Each row carries owner_blocker + next_action (e.g. AX-PROCESS → president_vote_PROC_OWN, AX-TRIGGER → register_axis_then_owner).

Safety / form

Implemented as a view (not a table) to guarantee birth-free. Productionizing as a base table (so new axes are added by row) is a clean next step but requires owner sign-off; the view contract is identical and apply-ready. Adding a new axis still also needs the v1 UNION generator to be replaced (see Phase 5/9) — the binding alone is necessary but not yet sufficient for true auto-scale.
