08 · dot:kg correlated-dry-run → REAL_RUN ladder (Phase G)

Status (live, process_run_observation, 6 rows for PROC-CAND:dot:kg)

• 2 × DRY_RUN (real gpt-4o via the internal incomex-agent-api-executor): dryrun-kgexplain-20260604T081942Z (solo) and dryrun-pair-20260604T084721Z (correlated producer+verifier pair).
• 4 × SIMULATED_DRY_RUN (harness/plan-only).
• REAL_RUN = 0. process_axis_ai_review = NEEDS_MORE_EVIDENCE, gate_status {real_run:0, verified:false}, recommended REQUEST_MORE_EVIDENCE.
• Not verified — not faked. dot:kg must NOT be confirmed/born before REAL_RUN evidence.

REAL_RUN ladder (each rung gated; no rung executed this run)

1. Correlated DRY_RUN — DONE (the pair run above; verifier shares one correlation id).
2. Enable REAL_RUN runtime — dot_config process_dot_runtime.real_run_enabled must flip true (today false → write-fns refuse REAL_RUN at insert). Owner/operator decision.
3. First REAL_RUN observation — producer + deterministic verifier under one correlation id, evidence_type='REAL_RUN', against the bound DOT_KG_EXPLAIN agent_api contract. Verifier must independently confirm output.
4. Repeat to threshold — enough REAL_RUN passes that process_axis_ai_review flips dot:kg to AI_REVIEWED_PASS / verified.
5. PROC-OWN-04 — president vote births the dot:kg process family.
6. 10-process split — split the dot:kg family into its component process definitions (deferred to post-REAL_RUN).
7. PROC-OWN-05 — activate process.* events for dot:kg.

Owner gate

PROC-OWN-04 must NOT be voted before rungs 2–4 produce REAL_RUN evidence. Pre-voting would birth an unverified process family.

Action panel rows (safe, available now)

REQUEST_MORE_EVIDENCE on PROC-CAND:dot:kg is a SAFE_TRIAGE action and runs in preview today; CREATE_BIRTH_REQUEST/SEND_TO_GOVERNANCE are fail-closed until rungs 2–5.

Blocker

real_run_enabled flip (operator) + REAL_RUN evidence + PROC-OWN-04. No engineering blocker on the executor/contract (both live from prior runs).
