Accept the workscope-tier taxonomy package

One decision is in front of you: whether PR #486 is ready to merge as the accepted Initiative + Feature workscope contract. CHECK001 merits are settled with four mechanical conditions closed; this page re-presents that record for HDO confirmation and does not re-adjudicate it.

What actually counts as the HDO act

An explicit durable merge, recycle, or hold disposition on PR #486 and/or the #449 ledger. On approval, the merge event and merge-hash-bound #449 acceptance ledger complete the proof trail.

Checkboxes, selected cards, and generated text below are local working aids only. They do not approve, authorize, merge, close, or modify anything—and they do not imply the HDO has acted.

HDO confirmation

You are here

Inspect this gate surface; record an explicit durable act.

The accepted CHECK000 architecture remains the merits boundary. AC008 encodes Initiative and Feature as the only new SID-bearing workscope tiers, Epic as mutable non-authoritative grouping, Story as removed, and Initiative-rooted Timeline UIDs as explicit workscope targets.

This redesign is re-presentation, not re-adjudication. It improves the HDO review surface after the pre-redesign package commit 48aeca2b. It changes neither CHECK001's ACCEPT WITH CONDITIONS merits nor the CHECK000 architecture.

Effect of approval and merge

What enters authority—and what remains outside this package

Merging does

Accept P-STD-009's Initiative + Feature SID taxonomy, Feature lifecycle/resolver, EG-<slug> grouping, explicit targeting, lineage, and legacy freeze.
Land coordinated P-STD-002/004/005/008 and Program WDL alignment plus Program SPS discovery/resolver interfaces.
Accept the TK004 census boundary: 17 Epic-root families plus separately frozen Feature-root residue T102A1.
Accept R-001–R-007 as explicit owner-bound residue—not as completed receiving work.
Authorize maintainer merge of the exact package only after the explicit HDO act; merge hash then anchors the #449 acceptance ledger.

Intentionally does not

Mutate PM board schema/options or T106 tooling/helpers; R-006 remains conditional and untriggered.
Migrate or rename per-Initiative legacy identities, paths, owners, registries, plans, or files.
Revive Story as an SID-bearing workscope tier; Request/Design Story assumptions remain owner-routed legacy reconciliation.
Edit AC004-owned SPS/guidance/templates, Request/Design templates, scaffold/validator/tests, or the tools catalog.
Complete R-001–R-007, close #449/#481–#484, or make P-STD-009 authoritative before HDO recorded act + merge + merge-hash-bound #449 ledger.

A Review-condition closure · C1–C4

Four independent, checkable closures. The canonical Fable REVIEW is immutable; the closure lives in later standards/changelog commits.

M-01C1 · normative references

P-STD-002, P-STD-004, P-STD-005, and P-STD-008 each contain a resolving P-STD-009 Normative References row, with matching changelog entries.

319c8563P-STD-002 · referencesP-STD-008 · references

How to verify

Open the closure commit; confirm one P-STD-009 row in all four standards and corresponding changelog-only traces. The delta must not change CHECK000 architecture.

M-02C2 · naming stems

prd_ and register_ are registered in P-STD-004-CLAUSE-008A with deterministic patterns, closing the package's own naming drift.

319c8563P-STD-004 · CLAUSE-008A

How to verify

Find both prefix rows and confirm the patterns are prd_<feature-SID>.md and register_<scope-UID>_<kebab-topic>.md.

M-03C3 · exact group grammar

P-STD-009's EG-<slug> production now enforces exactly 2–40 characters; EG-x is rejected without cross-reading prose.

319c8563P-STD-009 · CLAUSE-005A

How to verify

Confirm the production is [a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,38}[a-z0-9]; inspect the standard changelog for the condition-closure trace.

M-04C4 · legacy annotations

P-STD-005 marks every affected E/S token-table scope as legacy-only, and P-STD-004 marks the Epic research row legacy-only and non-authorizing.

319c8563P-STD-005 · CLAUSE-002BP-STD-004 · CLAUSE-007B

How to verify

Read each clause standalone. Neither may authorize new Epic/Story-scoped identity minting or new Epic research placement.

B Package integrity, assurance limit, and gate proof

Eleven claims about the reviewed package and the exact decision boundary. Row M-14 is an explicit assurance-limit acceptance—not hidden assurance.

M-05Reviewer authorship · immutable REVIEW

Fable directly authored the sole canonical REVIEW in fresh session 481981e0-e0d2-4b95-9819-95485872caae, against frozen head b0a66af3…; the Developer committed it unchanged at 2174e390….

2174e390Fable REVIEW · v1.0.0

How to verify

Confirm frontmatter author/model/session/head and §II direct-write boundary. Compare the blob at the REVIEW commit with the package version; later closure must not amend REVIEW prose.

M-06#481–#484 · 29 criteria

All 29 task acceptance checkboxes were reviewed against live #481–#484 contracts: 26 MET, 3 MET-C, no scope bleed, no hidden deferral, and no Situation B finding.

2174e390REVIEW · §VI–IX#481 #482 #483 #484

How to verify

Use the REVIEW's acceptance-criteria matrix and Round Changelog. Confirm seven TK001, seven TK002, seven TK003, and eight TK004 criteria = 29 total.

M-07P-STD-009 doctrine

The draft standard faithfully encodes the accepted two-axis doctrine without reviving Initiative-only SID, Epic SID, Story SID, or Feature-root execution models.

0fd6c1ffP-STD-009 · v0.1.1

How to verify

Inspect CLAUSE-001–010 and ADR-001: Feature minting/lifecycle, Initiative-owned registry, Epic metadata, explicit UID targets, lineage, legacy freeze, and extension boundaries.

M-08Standards + WDL integrity

P-STD-002/004/005/008 and Program WDL consistently separate Feature lifecycle from status, use Initiative-owned placement, preserve frozen grammar, and target workscope without Feature-root Timeline UIDs.

2fb737f4P-STD-005 · current packageProgram WDL · v1.4.0

How to verify

Trace P-STD-002-CLAUSE-058, P-STD-004-CLAUSE-005/006, P-STD-005-CLAUSE-008A/008L, P-STD-008-CLAUSE-007D, and WDL execution-target guidance.

M-09Program SPS integrity

Program SPS registers draft P-STD-009 and provides a non-duplicating Feature resolver, five-term glossary, canonical fields, lifecycle/board separation, and required retrieval examples.

26713fecsps_P-PROGRAM · §§7–7C

How to verify

Confirm the resolver routes to Initiative authority without duplicating validity and examples cover grouped, ungrouped, closed, superseded, and frozen legacy states.

M-10Census + family freeze

The gate-relevant census is honestly bounded: 52 historical observations → 47 reproducible exact tokens → 18 non-Initiative roots → 17 Epic-root families plus separately frozen T102A1; upstream source limits remain disclosed.

94557ee8TK004 register · §§II–III

How to verify

Run the two frozen-baseline commands in register §II. Confirm all 17 Epic-root rows and the separate Feature-root row include owner, disposition, resolution, and evidence.

M-11Route integrity

R-001–R-007 each name an owner, affected surface, acceptance condition, disposition, and evidence; open/orphan/conditional/deferred routes remain visible and are not represented as completed.

TK004 register · §V

How to verify

Compare every row in §V with §4 below. R-002/R-003 must remain orphan-visible; R-006 conditional/untriggered; R-007 one deferred bundle.

M-12Merge semantics

The HDO accepts exactly the §2 boundary: standards/SPS/freeze routes enter the package; no board/T106 mutation, per-Initiative migration, Story revival, excluded owner edit, route completion, or premature authority is implied.

GATE001 evidence · §§I/VIActivity plan · GATE001

How to verify

Read evidence package posture/open routes and plan gate entry/exit criteria. Confirm authority begins only after recorded act, merge, and #449 ledger.

M-13Developer validation

Developer validation is green: diff/structure/reference checks, census/route checks, ancestry/scope checks, and governed pytest all passed; closure rerun reports 95 passed / 3 skipped.

Cycle-00 evidence · §IV/VI

How to verify

Confirm the governed runner result and exact closure assertions. This row records Developer-attested validation; independent-review limits are separately accepted in M-14.

M-14⚠ Assurance limit · explicit acceptance

I acknowledge that GitHub has no configured checks for PR #486 and Fable could not independently run governed pytest within its read/tool-approval boundary. Mitigation is bounded—not equivalent assurance: Developer pytest passed 95 / 3 skipped, and the package is documentation-only (Markdown/HTML; no Python, tests, or tooling changed).

REVIEW · §V / F6Developer evidence · §IV

How to verify

Inspect PR #486 checks and Fable's exact runner limitation. Tick only if this bounded mitigation is acceptable for the documentation-only package; do not read the row as independent pytest assurance.

M-15Gate proof + authority

The gate proof is complete up to—but not including—the HDO act: ready PR #486, this QA surface, Fable REVIEW, objective closure, and Developer evidence are present; P-STD-009 remains draft until recorded act + merge + #449 acceptance ledger.

48aeca2bConsolidated gate evidence

How to verify

Confirm PR readiness without approval, P-STD-009 draft posture, pending HDO act, and the prescribed post-merge #449 ledger. This confirmation cannot supply the missing act.

Owner-bound residue

Seven routes remain explicit after acceptance

The TK004 register is the SSOT. These are dispositions, not completion claims; receiving owners retain their own authority.

Routed open

R-001 · T102-PH001-AC004 owner

At AC004 CHECK001, consume accepted FSID registry, grouping, targeting, and legacy resolver interfaces. AC008 edits no AC004-owned surface.

Orphan visible

R-002 · T102B Request domain owner

Receiving activity not yet selected. Remove new Story-SID minting, use Task UIDs, preserve historical Story resolution.

Orphan visible

R-003 · T102D Design domain owner

Receiving activity not yet selected. Remove new Story-SID minting in Design templates/logs while retaining historical links.

Routed open

R-004 · P-PH000-AC009 / #450

Consume the accepted taxonomy in P-STD-001 reconstruction and Concept reconciliation without rewriting AC008 lineage.

Per owner

R-005 · each Initiative owner

On next governed touch, preserve frozen IDs, stop legacy minting, and add resolver/lineage evidence where a material change occurs; no bulk migration.

Conditional

R-006 · T106 owner

Not triggered. If board-visible compatibility becomes necessary, T106 owns schema/helper approval, rollback/export evidence, and option-ID preservation.

Deferred bundle

R-007 · future tooling owner

After acceptance and owner authorization, implement scaffold, validator, regression tests, and tools catalog together—never a partial script-only change.

TK004 route ledger · SSOT

Recorded-act semantics

Choose a working disposition, then record it durably

The exact durable act: post an unambiguous GATE001 disposition on PR #486 and/or #449. For merge, bind approval to this exact package and preserve the acknowledged M-14 assurance limit. After merge, record the merge hash and acceptance mapping on #449.

Non-authoritative state: completing the matrix, selecting a card, or copying the generated record does not perform that act. inspect is intentionally not a gate disposition.

Incomplete: confirm 15 claims and select a working disposition.

Optional rationale / required blocking reason for hold or recycle

Conformance statement

This surface follows the P-STD-008 package-shaped gate grammar: journey and prior assurance (§1); precise merge effects/exclusions (§2); traceable claims with HDO confirmations (§3); explicit residue/owners/dispositions (§4); and durable recorded-act semantics (§5). Its interactive state is deliberately non-authoritative.
