09 - BLOCKER G: Operator-Permit Terminology Cleanup

Codex recheck finding

Doc 08's unlock-chain summary still contained the stale load-bearing text Codex re-audit + operator permit, which can be confused with the BLOCKED qt001_backfill_permit. Every load-bearing use of "operator permit" must read operator_authorization, with qt001_backfill_permit kept explicitly BLOCKED, and a grep/search claim in the final report. (Codex recheck CHECK_J CROSS_LAYER_BOUNDARY_ACCEPTED_WITH_DOCUMENT_CONSISTENCY_FIX; doc 09.)

The fix (blueprint doc 08)

The unlock-chain summary now reads:

  -> implementation-authoring authorization (PKG-A..D author/rehearsal/read-only)
  -> Codex re-audit + operator_authorization
  -> PKG-E create+seal+stage (OPERATOR; NO activation)
  -> PKG-F atomic owner-transfer+revoke+activate+repoint cutover (OPERATOR)
  -> PKG-G owner/ACL cutover of remaining relations (OPERATOR)
  ...

Additionally, the qt001_backfill_permit hard-block row now records that operator_authorization is stored as a sealed evidence_registry row (non-authority evidence; doc 07), reinforcing that it is not a permit.

Grep claim (Codex recheck BLOCKER G)

After the patch, a token scan of all seven patched blueprint docs (02, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 12) shows no load-bearing "operator permit" remains. The only residual occurrences of the two-word string are in doc 12's recheck section - (a) the blocker-G description ("stale 'operator permit' wording in doc 08 | replaced...") and (b) this grep claim itself - both quoted/meta references, neither a load-bearing use. The only "permit" term used as a live concept anywhere is qt001_backfill_permit, which remains BLOCKED. Package execution authority is operator_authorization everywhere.

token blueprint occurrences status
operator permit (load-bearing) 0 clean
operator permit (quoted/meta in doc 12) 2 acceptable (the negation + the claim)
qt001_backfill_permit present, BLOCKED correct
operator_authorization used for all package execution correct

Self-check

PASS only if no load-bearing "operator permit" remains and qt001_backfill_permit stays blocked. PASS - the unlock chain says operator_authorization; the only remaining string occurrences are meta; qt001_backfill_permit remains BLOCKED.
