01 - Codex Recheck 2 Failure Matrix and T1 Disposition

Codex recheck-2 status under repair: FIX7_REFACTOR_BLUEPRINT_CODEX_RECHECK_2_FAIL_HARDCODE_OR_PG_NATIVE_GAP.

Codex recheck-2 check verdicts (recheck doc 12) → T1 disposition

Codex check recheck-2 verdict T1 disposition this pass
A owner semantics / G-NOLEGACY OWNER_SEMANTICS_NEEDS_FIX PATCHED in-blueprint (owner-unreachable; doc 02)
B legacy denominator LEGACY_DENOMINATOR_FAIL PATCHED in-blueprint (independent root set; doc 03)
C approved DDL / no drift DDL_NO_DRIFT_NEEDS_FIX DESIGN_AMENDMENT_REQUIRED (doc 04)
D no mixed authority NO_MIXED_AUTHORITY_NEEDS_FIX PATCHED in-blueprint (forward-only; doc 08)
E rollback source ROLLBACK_SOURCE_NEEDS_FIX PATCHED in-blueprint (forward-only + rollback_evidence_id; doc 06); legacy STUB body restore rides on C
F operator authorization OPERATOR_AUTHORIZATION_FAIL PATCHED in-blueprint (typed PG model; doc 05)
G ACL snapshot order ACCEPTED_WITH_OWNER_CONTROL_DEPENDENCY owner control supplied by doc 02/07
H permit terminology PERMIT_TERMINOLOGY_ACCEPTED unchanged (accepted)
I hardcode HARDCODE_FAIL resolved by removal — withdraw LEGACY_*/computed-disposition/evidence-as-authority (docs 02,04,05,10)
J PG-first/native/driven PG_NATIVE_DRIVEN_FAIL resolved for the patched blockers; the residual is a missing DESIGN surface (C), not a T1 PG-native gap (doc 10)
K cross-layer/scope CROSS_LAYER_ACCEPTED unchanged; re-verified (doc 11)
L authoring planning AUTHORING_PLANNING_FAIL PATCHED in-blueprint (seal order; doc 09) — but full authoring readiness still gated on the C amendment

The 8 decisive recheck-2 blockers (prompt A–H) → disposition → fix/route doc

What Codex accepted (preserved, not reopened)

directus owner-transfer before REVOKE/POST; S14 staged with activation moved after neutralization; ACL snapshot captured before transfer; source artifact required for body changes; permit terminology; cross-layer boundaries. The recheck-2 fixes strengthen each without discarding what was accepted.

The recurring pattern (why C is an amendment, not a third retrofit)

Across recheck 1 → recheck 2, T1 has bounced between two failure modes when trying to give the legacy neutralization layer a home in the approved design:

  1. Add typed columns (disposition, expected_legacy_set_sha256, privilege_acl_hash) → rejected recheck 1 as unapproved byte-DDL drift.
  2. Encode as computed/open-text/external-artifact (object_type='LEGACY_*', COMPUTED classifier, operator_authorization as evidence_registry content) → rejected recheck 2 as disguised hardcode / unparsed external authority.

Codex has, in both rechecks, explicitly named the third path: "obtain an explicit owner-level semantic design correction" / "declare design amendment required." For the blockers where the approved design does have the primitives (A, B, D, E-fwd, F, G, H), T1 binds to them and patches in-blueprint. For blocker C, where it does not, T1 stops and routes to the design owner — breaking the retrofit loop honestly.

Invariant non-regression

27 authority surfaces · 11 runtime-evidence non-authority · 14 readiness gates (DATA) · 7 hash contracts (H01..H07) · 0 new authority surface · 0 new readiness gate · 0 new hash contract · 0 new #20 column · 0 new catalog family · production mutation 0. Test/verification guards 36 → 40 (+G-OWNER-UNREACHABLE, +G-SUPERUSER-BREAKGLASS, +G-SEAL-AFTER-AUTHOR-REHEARSE, +G-OPERATOR-AUTH-PG-NATIVE; G-NOMIXED-AUTHORITY corrected forward-only; two disposition-dependent guards fail-closed pending the C amendment). All hard blocks intact.
