08 - Hard Blocks and Do-Not-Touch List

Explicit list of objects/actions that must NOT be touched now, why, and the future gate that could unlock each. This blueprint changes none of them.

A. Hard-blocked actions (must remain blocked)

action classification why blocked now future gate that could unlock
Stage 2.6B (permit/run/keyset/resume + authority revoke) BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY separate blocked program; not authorized by FIX7 design approval its own macro after FIX7 refactor + Codex audit + permit
qt001_backfill_permit / admission permit (open birth/backfill/apply permit) BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY no admission/backfill permit may be opened in a blueprint/planning phase. This is distinct from operator_authorization (package-execution authority for PKG-E..H), which is NOT a permit, opens no apply/admission/REAL_RUN, and creates no readiness gate (doc 07 §Terminology; Codex BLOCKER 7) a separate birth/backfill authority gate, far future - never granted by an operator_authorization
REAL_RUN BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY scale/capability runs are real production execution separate gate after activation + operator authority
QT001 apply (fn_dot_birth_qt001_apply, sp_dot_birth_qt001_apply) BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY apply path has been blocked since Codex NOT_SAFE; unchanged. Under FIX7 both are sealed STUB_FAIL_CLOSED members (doc 02 §I) manifest-active path + a separate QT001-apply/qt001_backfill_permit gate, far future - never unlocked by an operator_authorization alone (G-NO-QT001-PERMIT-DURING-FIX7)
owner/ACL cutover OPERATOR_GATED destructive; strips directus authority that holds readiness BLOCKED PKG-G under explicit operator authority
manifest activation / seal OPERATOR_GATED requires quorum + epoch binding PKG-E quorum + operator
Directus authority change (control objects only) OPERATOR_GATED Directus owns 262 control objects; SELECT read path must be preserved. Cutover is scoped to qt001_cp + enumerated legacy control objects ONLY - Directus keeps authority over its own directus_* app tables and legitimately-owned business tables (XH-4) PKG-G with G-DIRECTUS-READ + G-DIRECTUS-APP-INTACT preflight
scheduler / action enablement BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY no scheduler/DOT/action is enabled in planning separate operator gate
production writer execution BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY live writer stays on current blocked path until PKG-F PKG-F operator cutover
any dangerous DOT unfreeze (DOT-118/119) DO_NOT_TOUCH embed old gateway/direct INSERT; permanently dangerous no foreseeable unlock; stay frozen
birth gateway modification (fn_birth_registry_auto/_id, birth_registry, permit/ledger) DO_NOT_TOUCH FIX7 references the gateway only via gateway_manifest #26; any edit risks birth-neutral + 166 triggers; a CREATE OR REPLACE of the gateway is the DOT-119 hazard - because FIX7 must not (and does not) strip directus's ownership of the birth gateway, its overwrite-protection is DETECTION (G-BIRTH-NEUTRAL gateway norm-md5) + G-DOT-FROZEN (the DOT never runs) + this DO_NOT_TOUCH policy, NOT owner-isolation; owner-isolation under G-DOT-NOOVERWRITE protects only the qt001_cp control objects + the QT001 writer gateway separate explicitly-authorized birth-gateway program only
registry-pivot repoint (re-point authoritative writers onto the new registry/control-plane as system-of-record) BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY must not occur until birth/governance/registry truth all pass; FIX7 repoint (S13-S15) is scoped to the QT001 control-plane writer/gateway, NOT a broader registry-of-record pivot a later, separately authorized registry-pivot program after governance + registry-truth gates

B. Do-not-touch objects (no modification now)

object classification why
fn_birth_registry_auto + 166 triggers / 148 tables DO_NOT_TOUCH live birth gateway; birth-neutral invariant; FIX7 references it only via gateway_manifest #26
fn_birth_registry_auto_id (3 BIRTH_REQUIRED tables) DO_NOT_TOUCH live secondary gateway
fn_birth_policy_decision/_resolve_identity/_register DO_NOT_TOUCH live shared foundation fns
birth_registry (anchor 1,210,928+) DO_NOT_TOUCH row-count anchor; any delta = birth gateway disturbed
birth_admission_permit(+v2), birth_backfill_ledger(+v2), birth_gateway_release_registry DO_NOT_TOUCH live permit/ledger/release contract
DOT-119 dot-birth-trigger-setup, DOT-118 dot-birth-backfill LEGACY_FREEZE / DO_NOT_TOUCH frozen dangerous DOTs (Stage 0 freeze 2/2)
legacy qt001_* (20 tables / 46 fns / 196 views), directus-owned LEGACY_FREEZE until PKG-H not deleted live; frozen only after qt001_cp active + #11 non-dependence proof
source IU tables / iu_core / iu_staging_* DO_NOT_TOUCH source-of-truth ingestion; no FIX7 mutation; 2 birth-trigger-gap tables noted, unchanged
Directus SELECT read set on business base tables DO_NOT_TOUCH (preserve) re-granted identically via #21; never migrated to views

C. What this blueprint explicitly did NOT do

No production DB/role/grant/trigger/function/scheduler/UI mutation; no DB object creation; no live SQL; no manifest activation; no ownership/ACL change; no permit; no Stage 2.6B; no REAL_RUN; no QT001 apply; no Directus authority change; no source IU mutation; no Codex-doc edit. The only writes are the 13 KB blueprint docs + checkpoint.

E. Cross-layer scope boundaries (explicitly OUT OF SCOPE for this blueprint - XHigh-L)

The FIX7 refactor is the QT001 control-plane refactor only. The following adjacent concerns are NOT addressed, NOT included, and remain blocked/future; an implementer must not pull them in:

concern classification why out of scope
registry-pivot repoint (system-of-record cutover) BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY gated on birth/governance/registry-truth passing; separate program
Đ43 context-truth reconciliation / dedup BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY FIX7 registries (principal/human_identity/evidence) must not duplicate or override Đ43 context truth; alignment is a later cross-layer task
QT-006 universal lifecycle / death BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY separate approved program (design index Stage 5); not this refactor
raw birth_registry as managed-object truth DO_NOT_TOUCH raw birth is birth-event truth, not managed-object/authority truth; FIX7 authority lives in sealed manifests, not raw birth rows
memory/harness/Đ43 alignment BLOCKED_UNTIL_AUTHORITY noted as a future cross-layer step if/when required; not in PKG-A..I

This blueprint asserts these boundaries so a future reader does not mistake the QT001 control-plane repoint for a broader registry/governance/lifecycle change.

D. Unlock chain summary

FIX7 design approved (DONE)
  -> this refactor blueprint (DONE, pending Codex critical review)
  -> Codex critical review of blueprint (NEXT, external)
  -> implementation-authoring authorization (PKG-A..D author/rehearsal/read-only)
  -> Codex re-audit + operator permit
  -> PKG-E create+seal+activate (OPERATOR)
  -> PKG-F repoint cutover (OPERATOR)
  -> PKG-G owner/ACL cutover (OPERATOR)
  -> PKG-H legacy freeze/deprecate (OPERATOR)
  -> PKG-I post-cutover verification
  -> (separate gates) REAL_RUN / QT001 apply / Stage 2.6B

Each arrow is a gate. Nothing past "this refactor blueprint" is authorized by the current macro.
