T1 FIX7 Recheck-4 Approval-Envelope Patch - Final Verdict
10 - Final Verdict
Final status
FIX7_REFACTOR_BLUEPRINT_T1_PATCHED_AFTER_CODEX_RECHECK_4_READY_FOR_CODEX_RECHECK_5
Summary
Codex recheck 4 accepted the recheck-3 set separation + boundary and 27/11/14/7, leaving one blocker class: the ACTIVE_AUTHORITY corpus was classified only by mutable KB markers/registry/fences and not pinned to the exact reviewed revisions/content hashes (a mutable authoring-authority denominator / disguised hardcode), which also kept the no-disposition guard, the hardcode-final check, and authoring-planning blocked. T1 patched it in-blueprint — no runtime design amendment, nothing accepted reopened.
The fix: an immutable, content-addressed ACTIVE_AUTHORITY_APPROVAL_ENVELOPE (doc 00) pinning every
ACTIVE doc/section + KB revision + normalized SHA-256, plus marker-fence / registry / guard-set /
membership / manifest hashes, anchored to the Codex recheck checkpoint, sealed at the Codex recheck;
four fail-closed guards (G-ACTIVE-AUTHORITY-APPROVAL-ENVELOPE / -HASH-MATCH / -REVISION-MATCH /
-CHANGE-FAIL-CLOSED); the no-disposition / no-superseded / scope guards re-bound to the sealed
envelope; guard-quality rule 9; PKG-A gated on a SEALED, verified envelope.
Guards 47 → 51. Invariants 27/11/14/7 preserved — the envelope is a non-runtime construction-document content-address (it pins the docs being authored from), explicitly NOT a runtime authority surface, readiness gate, #20 column, catalog family, or 8th top-level runtime hash contract (H01..H07 stay 7). All hard blocks intact. No fresh live read required.
Self-check (Codex-style)
| # | check | verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | approval envelope defined, machine-readable, all required fields | PASS (doc 02) |
| 2 | revision + SHA-256 per ACTIVE doc/section; membership hash real now; body hashes seal at recheck-5 | PASS (doc 02) |
| 3 | fail-closed on revision / content / marker-fence / registry / guard-set / section-identity / membership / doc-status | PASS (doc 03; G-ACTIVE-AUTHORITY-CHANGE-FAIL-CLOSED) |
| 4 | G-ACTIVE-AUTHORITY-APPROVAL-ENVELOPE / -HASH-MATCH / -REVISION-MATCH / -CHANGE-FAIL-CLOSED added |
PASS (doc 03) |
| 5 | G-NO-SUPERSEDED-CONSUMPTION + G-LEGACY-NO-DISPOSITION-AUTHORITY depend on the sealed envelope |
PASS (docs 04, 05) |
| 6 | no silent post-approval drift; mismatch → Codex recheck, not "continue authoring" | PASS (docs 03, 05; rule 9) |
| 7 | adversarial self-audit (11 scenarios, incl. the self-reference hole) all fail closed | PASS (doc 06) |
| 8 | hardcode/PG-native: mutable denominator content-addressed; no runtime authority added | PASS (doc 07) |
| 9 | cross-layer: implementation / 2.6B / permit / REAL_RUN / QT001 apply / activation / repoint / cutover blocked | PASS (doc 08) |
| 10 | non-runtime: no new surface / gate / #20 col / catalog family / runtime hash contract | PASS (docs 07, 08) |
| 11 | accepted items not reopened (Option Beta, set separation, STUB removal, DO_NOT_TOUCH, 27/11/14/7, PG-native, cross-layer) | PASS |
Internal self-check: 11/11 PASS.
Why READY_FOR_CODEX_RECHECK_5 (not the other allowed statuses)
- Not
..._NEEDS_MORE_T1_WORK: the single blocker class is patched in-blueprint; the content-addressed envelope + four fail-closed guards + the re-bound guards + rule 9 are in place; the 11-scenario adversarial self-audit passes. - Not
..._FAIL_HARDCODE_OR_PG_NATIVE_GAP: the patch REMOVES a disguised hardcode (mutable authoring denominator) by content-addressing it; it adds no runtime authority/surface; Codex'sPG_NATIVE_FINAL_ACCEPTED/INVARIANTS_BOUNDARY_FINAL_ACCEPTEDare preserved. - Not
READ_PATH_BLOCKED: the recheck-4 package, the recheck-3 patch, the current blueprint, and the approval sources were all readable read-only.
Boundaries
Do not claim implementation approval. Implementation, Stage 2.6B, qt001_backfill_permit, REAL_RUN,
QT001 apply, manifest activation, repoint, and owner/ACL cutover all remain BLOCKED. Production was
READ-ONLY throughout. Next is Codex recheck 5 only — which seals the
ACTIVE_AUTHORITY_APPROVAL_ENVELOPE (computes + records the per-document hashes over the approved
content, flips envelope_state to SEALED, records it in the recheck-5 checkpoint).
