11 - Cross-Layer Boundary Self-Review

Recheck-2 check 11: implementation, Stage 2.6B, QT001 apply, qt001_backfill_permit, REAL_RUN, governance reconciliation, and registry-pivot remain blocked/later. Codex recheck-2 verdict on this dimension was CROSS_LAYER_ACCEPTED; this pass must not regress it.

Boundary status after the recheck-2 patch

concern	status	unchanged?
implementation / implementation-authoring	BLOCKED (gated behind the C amendment → re-patch → Codex recheck 3 → separate authoring authorization)	YES (further gated, never loosened)
Stage 2.6B	BLOCKED (separate program)	YES
qt001_backfill_permit / admission permit	BLOCKED; distinct from operator_authorization (now typed PG authority, doc 05) — G-NO-QT001-PERMIT-DURING-FIX7 intact	YES
REAL_RUN authority	BLOCKED	YES
QT001 apply (fn_dot_birth_qt001_apply/sp_*)	BLOCKED since Codex NOT_SAFE	YES
manifest activation / repoint / owner-ACL cutover	OPERATOR_GATED; activation in atomic PKG-F after neutralization; now further gated on the C amendment	YES
governance reconciliation / Ð43 context-truth	BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY (out of scope, doc 08 §E)	YES
registry-pivot repoint (system-of-record cutover)	BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY (out of scope)	YES
raw birth_registry as managed-object truth	DO_NOT_TOUCH; authority lives in sealed manifests	YES
birth gateway (fn_birth_registry_auto + DOTs)	DO_NOT_TOUCH; referenced only via #26	YES

What the recheck-2 patch changed at the boundary

Nothing was loosened. The patch:

• Adds a hard-block row for superuser break-glass (F) and a DESIGN_AMENDMENT_REQUIRED row for the legacy-disposition contract (C) to doc 08 §A — tightening, not loosening.
• Inserts a new upstream gate (the C amendment + a fresh Codex recheck 3) ahead of every previously-blocked live phase, so the unlock chain is now strictly longer.
• Reaffirms that operator_authorization (now typed PG authority) grants package execution only and never opens QT001 apply / admission / REAL_RUN (G-NO-QT001-PERMIT-DURING-FIX7).

Production-mutation check

Production was READ-ONLY throughout. The only live interaction this pass was one confirmatory read-only pg_roles SELECT (no DDL/DML). No object was created, altered, owned, granted, revoked, or executed. The only writes are KB blueprint-doc revisions, this report, and the checkpoints.

Verdict

CROSS_LAYER_PRESERVED — every adjacent layer remains blocked/later; the patch only tightens the gating (adds the C amendment + recheck-3 gate and the superuser/disposition hard-blocks). Check 11 PASS.
