01 — Dual-Path Baseline + Drift Lock

Both read paths live and identical at session start.

• Path 1 query_pg RO (database directus, role read-only, 5s/500-row caps).
• Path 2 ssh contabo → docker exec postgres → psql -U directus -d directus.

RP views live in directus DB, public schema (49 v_rp_% views at start). psql superuser = directus; pg container = postgres (postgres:16).

Drift lock

All engineering metrics matched SSOT checkpoint checkpoint-rp-contract-canonical-...-2026-06-05 exactly. Only birth_registry drifts (background births: 1,194,904 SSOT → 1,194,933 start → 1,200,118 end = background only; every DDL apply was before==after). No engineering drift → safe to mutate.

Static-literal flags at start

• PROC:residual_reconcile: literal 8 vs live 2 → STALE_LITERAL.
• PROC:owner_gated_runtime: literal 11, live NULL → STATIC_NO_LIVE_SOURCE (later disproven — see 05).
