+# OIC-Bench Preflight Execution Readiness v0.1
+
+Status: preparation only. Semantic OIC-Bench has not been run. This document
+does not authorize source interpretation, admission, OCE generation, Rego
+generation, or runtime semantic evaluation.
+
+| Readiness area | Current state | Required before execution | Expected evidence/failure behavior |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Frozen governing-source inventory | INCOMPLETE | Owner-selected minimum source roles; complete manifest and freeze | Missing source evidence blocks ingestion |
+| Manifest completeness | INCOMPLETE / exit 3 | Every selected source has rights, provenance, hash, dates and authority status | Exit 3 remains missing evidence, never pass |
+| Annotation/gold prerequisites | NOT STARTED | Schema, annotator roles, adjudication procedure, disagreements and immutable gold version | No fake labels or model-generated gold |
+| Metric implementation | PROPOSED / NOT MEASURED | Freeze metric definitions and deterministic calculators | Invalid/undefined denominators fail closed |
+| Benchmark lineage | PARTIAL | Bind source, annotation, compiler, schema, model, admission and test versions | Every raw result traces to exact inputs |
+| Baseline harness | NOT STARTED | Direct LLM-to-Rego and other selected baselines use same inputs/model where required | No comparative claim from missing baseline |
+| Environment capture | INFRASTRUCTURE READY | Lock files, tool versions, offline/network declaration, seeds and hardware/runtime metadata | Environment drift is reported |
+| Raw-result destinations | NOT ESTABLISHED | Versioned machine-readable raw outputs, logs, hashes and failure inventory | Never publish only summaries |
+| Reproducibility commands | PARTIAL | One clean command per stage plus expected exit codes | Non-zero/INCOMPLETE states retained |
+| Source-version/change-impact cases | NOT STARTED | At least three authorized version/amendment pairs for preflight | Missing affected-control evidence is visible |
+| Runtime transaction cases | NOT STARTED | At least 20 adjudicated positive, negative, boundary and unknown cases | `CANNOT`/escalation can be correct |
+| Ambiguity/conflict cases | NOT STARTED | At least six gold blocking ambiguity/conflict/missing-authority cases | False resolution is a failure |
+| Malicious/adversarial sources | NOT STARTED | At least one malicious instruction plus negation, threshold, time, actor and exception mutations | Source instructions cannot alter authority |
+| Claim ceiling | ESTABLISHED | Preserve preflight ≠ full OIC-Bench | No generalization, enterprise proof, superiority or maturity claim |
+
+## Immediate post-gate sequence
+
+1. Verify the selected frozen-source manifest; stop on `INCOMPLETE`.
+2. Freeze annotation protocol and gold roles before semantic output is scored.
+3. Capture the exact environment and all dependency/model versions.
+4. Run semantic stages only under the separately authorized bounded profile.
+5. Store raw outputs, refusals, errors, lineage and hashes.
+6. Run preregistered preflight metrics and named baselines without changing
+   thresholds after observing results.
+7. Publish failures and limitations with any bounded experimental result.
+
+Preflight evidence is not full OIC-Bench v0.1 and cannot establish statistical
+generalization, enterprise suitability, comparative superiority, or product
+maturity.

+# OIC Preflight Provenance Gap Report v0.1
+
+Status: mechanical audit at OIC commit
+`d06917fa6877277d7118b49e80d6a69446f50712`. No rights, authority, effective
+date, or source meaning is inferred.
+
+## Governing requirement
+
+`benchmarks/preflight/README.md` requires every source used by the preflight to
+appear in `SOURCE_MANIFEST.csv` with rights, provenance, immutable hash,
+effective dates, and declared authority status. The proposed Canada working set
+is defined by `benchmarks/preflight/canada/WORKING-SET-SCOPE-v0.1.md` and
+`SOURCE-REGISTRY-PROPOSED-v0.1.json`; proposals are not frozen sources.
+
+Evidence status vocabulary: `ESTABLISHED`, `PARTIAL`, `OPEN`,
+`OWNER/DOMAIN ATTESTATION REQUIRED`, and `NOT REQUIRED FOR CURRENT PREFLIGHT`.
+
+## Source-by-source provenance gap matrix
+
+The “field state” column follows this order: stable ID; title; issuer; type;
+official origin; reuse basis; acquisition time; SHA-256; effective-from;
+effective-until; supersession/amendment; confidentiality; verification
+receipt/command; benchmark authority status; frozen bytes.
+
+| Source | Field state | Current evidence and exact artifact/blob | Overall status | Missing evidence | Required authority | Smallest truthful next action | Gate effect |

+| CA-2 | E,E,E,E,E,P,O,O,O,O,P,P,O,O,O | Same proposed registry/scope; appendix is version-related to CA-1 | PARTIAL | Same gaps as CA-1 plus final table/node anchors | Owner plus qualified rights/domain reviewer | Resolve rights and freeze selected appendix nodes | BLOCKS SEMANTIC CODE START |
+| CA-3 | E,E,E,E,E,E,E,E,O,O,P,E,E,O,E | Manifest blob `718a9df6…`; frozen XML blob `9d89e621…`; receipt blob `52f8585f…`; freeze record blob `dc2a89d…`; rights clearance blob `dace02fd…`; SHA-256 `6e89ad25…` | PARTIAL | Effective-from/effective-until state and declared benchmark authority status are blank; current verifier still reports corpus evidence `INCOMPLETE` | Owner/domain authority for benchmark authority; domain reviewer for effective-date treatment | Record bounded authority/effective-date disposition without inventing dates, then make the current verifier resolve the accepted frozen receipt | BLOCKS SEMANTIC CODE START |
+| CA-4 | E,E,E,E,E,P,O,O,O,O,P,P,O,O,O | Proposed registry/scope only (`35e23be5…`, `cf2ce8a9…`) | PARTIAL | Rights, freeze, effective date, authority and receipt fields | Owner plus qualified rights/domain reviewer | Resolve rights and freeze selected provisions if permitted | BLOCKS SEMANTIC CODE START |
+| CA-5-APPROVALS | E,E,E,E,E,O,O,O,O,O,P,P,O,O,O | Proposed registry; rights-clearance record says publisher robots policy refuses project retrieval and reuse evidence is unresolved (`RIGHTS-CLEARANCE-v0.1.json`, blob `dace02fd…`) | OWNER/DOMAIN ATTESTATION REQUIRED | Lawful acquisition/reuse path, frozen bytes, dates, receipt, authority | Owner plus qualified licensing reviewer; publisher if permission is sought | Replace with a rights-clear source or obtain permission and record it | BLOCKS SEMANTIC CODE START |
+| CA-5-DELEGATION | E,E,E,E,E,O,O,O,O,O,P,P,O,O,O | Same CanadaBuys rights evidence as CA-5-APPROVALS | OWNER/DOMAIN ATTESTATION REQUIRED | Same; public guidance also does not prove an individual delegation | Owner, licensing reviewer, domain authority | Select a lawful source and define the delegation-evidence ceiling | BLOCKS SEMANTIC CODE START |
+| CA-5-SIGNING | E,E,E,E,E,O,O,O,O,O,P,P,O,O,O | Same CanadaBuys rights evidence | OWNER/DOMAIN ATTESTATION REQUIRED | Rights/acquisition/freeze/date/authority evidence | Owner, licensing reviewer, domain authority | Replace or obtain permission; then freeze | BLOCKS SEMANTIC CODE START |

+| CA-6-GLOSSARY | E,E,E,E,E,O,O,O,O,O,P,P,O,O,O | Scope assigns zero entries because no direct selected-node reference was evidenced | NOT REQUIRED FOR CURRENT PREFLIGHT | None while zero-entry exclusion remains owner-accepted | Owner only if scope changes | Retain exclusion | DOES NOT CURRENTLY BLOCK |
+| CA-7 | P,P,P,P,P,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O | Explicitly excluded by current 55-page scope | NOT REQUIRED FOR CURRENT PREFLIGHT | None unless owner expands scope | Owner only if scope changes | Retain exclusion | DOES NOT CURRENTLY BLOCK |
+
+Legend: `E` established, `P` partial, `O` open.
+
+## Result
+
+No source currently satisfies every preflight provenance requirement. CA-3 is
+the only source with frozen bytes, a cryptographic digest, a tracked receipt,
+and documented reuse basis. It remains incomplete for the gate because the
+manifest lacks effective-date and declared authority dispositions and the
+current manifest verifier reports `INCOMPLETE`.
+
+The smallest truthful source blocker set is:
+
+1. close the bounded CA-3 effective-date/authority/verification disposition;
+2. owner-select a minimum source set that covers the required source roles;
+3. replace or clear sources whose acquisition/reuse is blocked;
+4. freeze every selected source with bytes, hashes, receipts, dates where
+   supportable, confidentiality, and declared benchmark authority status.
+
+## Owner source-strategy choice
+
+The governing design permits a bounded public or synthetic subset. The owner
+may continue real Canada clearance, or authorize CA-3 as the real anchor plus
+explicitly synthetic procurement sources for remaining roles. Synthetic
+companions must name a synthetic test institution, declare their synthetic
+status, carry deterministic generated provenance and hashes, create no
+real-world authority, and remain limited to benchmark/test semantics. This
+audit does not authorize or create them.

+# OIC Semantic Code-Start Gate Closure v0.1
+
+Original audit base: `d06917fa6877277d7118b49e80d6a69446f50712`.
+The current comparison base is recorded in draft PR #35 after main
+reconciliation. `STATUS.md` remains authoritative and unchanged.
+
+## Corrected closure matrix
+
+| Gate | Requirement | Current evidence/status | Smallest next action | Effect |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| OIC-CS-001 | Selected bounded source strategy and complete provenance | CA-3 frozen/rights-cleared but incomplete; other real sources proposed or blocked — OPEN | Owner selects Path A/B; complete selected records | BLOCKS SEMANTIC CODE START |
+| OIC-CS-002 | Bounded ZTL profile admitted | Signed pin, 13/3 conformance, corrected mapping, 28 fields, WP-3, SC-WA and triggers — TECHNICALLY ESTABLISHED / OWNER ADMISSION PENDING | Correct stale metadata in admission package; owner accepts/rejects profile and decides Tier-1 timing | BLOCKS SEMANTIC CODE START |
+| OIC-CS-003 | Minimum VEIP handoff admitted | Technical non-executable option identified; external heads unadmitted — PARTIAL | Owner accepts minimum boundary or requires full lifecycle | BLOCKS SEMANTIC CODE START |
+| OIC-PF-001 | Result-bearing semantic preflight | Gold/runtime/change/adversarial cases and execution-grade lifecycle absent | Complete only after code-start authorization | BLOCKS PREFLIGHT EXECUTION |
+| OIC-ER-001 | Reproducible experimental release | Tier-1 disposition and VEIP conformance/security incomplete | Independent/external evidence later | BLOCKS EXPERIMENTAL RELEASE |
+| OIC-RF-001 | Full benchmark/maturity | Not run/not established | Defer | BLOCKS RELEASE FREEZE |
+
+## Minimum true blocker set
+
+1. **Source-set owner decision plus provenance completion.**
+2. **ZTL profile owner admission**, not new ZTL semantic design; includes stale
+   metadata correction and independent-reproduction timing.
+3. **Minimum VEIP boundary owner admission**, not completion of the full VEIP
+   lifecycle product.
+
+No additional code-start blocker is asserted without an exact governing
+requirement.
+
+## Corpus alternatives
+
+**Path A — real Canada clearance:** finish rights, bytes, hashes, receipts,
+dates, confidentiality and benchmark authority for the selected real set.
+
+**Path B — mixed public/synthetic code-start set:** subject to owner
+authorization, retain CA-3 as the real anchor and create deterministic synthetic
+companions for the remaining roles. Each must name a synthetic test institution,
+declare synthetic status, carry generated provenance and fixed hashes, create no
+real-world authority and support benchmark/test semantics only.
+
+Path B may accelerate code start. It does not establish real-world corpus
+completeness, enterprise generalization, superiority or legal validity. Neither
+path is executed here.
+
+## Horizon separation
+
+| Horizon | Required state |
+|---|---|
+| Code start | Selected source path provenance-complete for bounded scope; exact ZTL profile admitted; minimum fail-closed/non-executable VEIP handoff admitted |
+| Result-bearing preflight execution | Authorized semantic implementation, gold/metric lineage, runtime cases and execution-grade VEIP lifecycle for the tested path |
+| Experimental release | Frozen reproducible preflight, raw results, Tier-1 disposition, VEIP conformance/security and bounded claims |
+| Release freeze | Full OIC-Bench/held-out, independent review, usability, security, reliability and maturity gates |
+
+## OWNER DECISIONS REQUIRED TO OPEN BOUNDED SEMANTIC CODE START
+
+### OIC-CS-OD-001 — Source strategy
+
+- **Question:** Continue real Canada clearance or authorize CA-3 plus bounded
+  synthetic companions?
+- **Option A:** Continue Path A.
+- **Option B:** Authorize Path B with its strict claim ceiling.
+- **Recommended conservative default:** A unless speed justifies B's limits.
+- **Evidence:** provenance report; governing design permits public or synthetic.
+- **Authorizes:** provenance work for the chosen path.
+- **Still prohibits:** semantic execution and real-world authority/result claims.
+
+### OIC-CS-OD-002 — ZTL profile admission
+
+- **Question:** Accept profile `ztl-v0.1` version `0.1.0`, signed tag
+  `veraxis-ztl-input-v0.2-signed`, commit `56e1ff05…`, fixture index
+  `ffadd653…` for bounded code start?
+- **Option A:** Accept after correcting stale provenance metadata.
+- **Option B:** Keep blocked and name precise additional evidence.
+- **Recommended conservative default:** A only while provisional boundaries,
+  hazards and claim ceilings remain explicit.
+- **Evidence:** merged PR #18/#16 and current accepted contracts/review.
+- **Authorizes:** bounded semantic code targeting the admitted profile.
+- **Still prohibits:** independence/maturity/authority claims and operational
+  authorization by ZTL.
+
+### OIC-CS-OD-003 — ZTL independent-reproduction timing
+
+- **Question:** Require Tier-1 before code start or defer it?
+- **Option A:** Require before code start.
+- **Option B:** Defer to experimental release/release freeze.
+- **Recommended conservative default:** B, while all independence claims remain
+  prohibited.
+- **Evidence:** dossier §13 and v0.2 producer conformance.
+- **Authorizes:** timing only.
+- **Still prohibits:** calling producer evidence independent.
+
+### OIC-CS-OD-004 — Minimum VEIP boundary
+
+- **Question:** Accept a non-executable review-only handoff for compiler code
+  start, or require the full lifecycle first?
+- **Option A:** Accept: ActionProposal precedes OIC; OIC consumes exact context
+  and emits RuntimeDecision evidence; VEIP does not reinterpret ZTL; neither
+  creates the other's authority; missing integration is fail-closed.
+- **Option B:** Require the full VEIP lifecycle first.
+- **Recommended conservative default:** A for bounded compiler work only, with
+  result-bearing execution separately blocked.
+- **Evidence:** current warrant contract and ZTL-VEIP preflight; external heads
+  remain unadmitted.
+- **Authorizes:** bounded compiler contracts without a VEIP execution adapter.
+- **Still prohibits:** execution, reliance, lifecycle adapters, operational
+  publication and VEIP maturity claims.
+
+## Gate answer

+# OIC ZTL and VEIP Evidence Reconciliation v0.1
+
+Status: owner-review correction. Historical July TODO states are not carried
+forward when merged successor evidence closes them. Technical evidence is not
+owner admission.
+
+## ZTL live-status matrix
+

+| Tier-1 reproduction | Producer/Tier-3 evidence only | dossier `72e84ec2…`; profile provenance | LATER INDEPENDENT-EVIDENCE GATE | Owner decides timing; Tier-1 reviewer acts |
+
+The stale `evidence_dependency_notice` is a **CURRENTNESS / PROVENANCE
+METADATA DEFECT**, not a semantic mapping defect. Both referenced PRs are
+merged. The profile is not edited here; its admission package should replace
+the obsolete draft/merge-order statements while retaining `PROPOSED / NOT
+ADMITTED` until the owner decides.

+| 8 | Preflight provenance | STILL OPEN | Separate provenance gap report |
+| 9 | VEIP dossier | EXTERNAL / VEIP DEPENDENCY | Minimum record requires owner decision; full lifecycle is later |
+
+## VEIP current evidence
+
+| Public repository | Verified `main` head | OIC status |
+|---|---|---|

+Newer private/reconstructed material is likewise not admitted without formal
+binding into the OIC evidence chain.
+
+| Horizon | Minimum evidence | State |
+|---|---|---|
+| Semantic code start | Owner-approved non-executable handoff: ActionProposal precedes OIC; OIC consumes exact context and emits RuntimeDecision evidence; neither side creates/reinterprets the other's authority; missing lifecycle integration is fail-closed | TECHNICAL OPTION / OWNER ADMISSION PENDING |
+| Result-bearing preflight | Accepted execution carrier plus replay, expiry, revocation, correction and failure behavior for the tested path | OPEN |
+| Experimental release/maturity | Canonical repos/pins/licenses, fixtures, conformance, security, reliance, replacement and independent review | OPEN / EXTERNAL WORK REQUIRED |
+
+The twenty-item July inventory remains a gap register, but it is not one
+code-start blocker. Items 001–006 and 013 reduce to the minimum handoff
+admission question; 007–012 govern result-bearing execution; 014–019 govern
+preflight/release evidence; 020 is hygiene. External heads alone close none.
