<!-- Handoff document for ADR-0.0.69 — created by claude-code at 2026-06-10T07:00:18Z -->

## ⚠️ This handoff ADVISES next moves — it is NOT authorization to execute them

**Read this before anything else.** A handoff records a *proposed* plan and its
context. It is **NOT** a clearance to unilaterally execute that plan. On resume —
at **every** freshness level, Fresh included — you MUST:

1. Present the advised next steps and current state to the operator.
2. **Obtain explicit operator authorization before executing any of them** — no
   file mutation, no `gz` ceremony, no migration until the operator says go.
3. Treat the human-as-final-witness doctrine as binding from the first step: you
   advise; the operator rules; you note variance and stop.

Barreling into execution from this document is the exact failure this handoff
exists to prevent. The plan is the destination; operator authorization is the
ignition.

## Current State Summary

ADR-0.0.69 (channels-first-closeout-proof) was booked, evaluated GO 3.60/4.0,
and synced to `origin/main` this session (`671e32ac` booking, `17705dc1`
pre-push gate fixes). OBPI-0.0.69-01 (SUPPORT channel, closes GHI #543) was then
implemented through the `gz obpi pipeline` runtime: plan-audit receipt PASS,
implementation landed in `src/gzkit/req_kind.py` (`resolve_support_proof`,
`parse_support_citation`, registry derived from the `TypedLedgerEvent` union)
and `src/gzkit/commands/validate_req_kind.py` (`_check_support_req`
strict-parse-then-legacy-fallback), 16 REQ-derived tests added
(`tests/test_req_kind_support_channel.py`), manpage documented. Verification:
runtime `--from=verify` 10/10 PASS, full suite 6013 OK
(`arb-step-unittest-60ef1652a5c946a5ae8ede9071560d6f`), precomplete 8/8 READY,
two-stage review quality FAIL→fix-cycle-1→PASS and spec PASS. **The pipeline is
parked at the Stage 4 human gate: the operator rejected the agent's ceremony
presentations three times and is running the attestation ceremony personally.**
The work tree is dirty by design (implementation uncommitted — Stage 5 git-sync
is the runtime's, post-attestation). Last lock event: `obpi_lock_claimed` at
2026-06-10T05:17:06.358137+00:00 by `claude-code-b53947a8`; this handoff is the
register entry for its release. Last commit SHA: `17705dc1d5ff66ace778b0803edb030f2f3a1e25`.
Branch state: `main`, synced 0/0 with `origin/main`, 8 modified + 4 untracked
pipeline/plan files in the worktree (plus the concurrent session's staged-then-
unstaged deletion of `docs/drafts/sprint-and-drift-harness-governance.md` — not
this session's work).

## Important Context

- **Named decision context / why the operator took over:** the agent executed
  the skill's content (stages, runtime functions, ARB receipts) but failed to
  deliver the ceremony as the operator expects it — three Stage 4 presentations
  rejected ("you have no understanding of just running the skill"). The
  implementation itself is verified sound; only the ceremony execution failed.
  Improvement records for each correction are appended to
  `.gzkit/insights/agent-insights.jsonl` (2026-06-10, three records).
- The runtime's prescribed completion command (after the operator's own Stage 4):
  `uv run gz obpi pipeline OBPI-0.0.69-01-support-channel-ledger-and-validator-dispatch --from=sync --attestor "<name>" --evidence-json '<json>'`
  where evidence-json MUST include `attestation_text`; the brief's
  `### Key Proof` and `### Implementation Summary` are already authored with
  canonical ARB receipt IDs and can seed `key_proof` / `implementation_summary`.
- Authoring-time vs closeout-time split is deliberate: `_check_support_req`
  keeps a legacy keyword fallback so 8 pre-existing SUPPORT briefs
  (ADR-0.0.37/0.0.59) stay green; strict proof lives in `resolve_support_proof`
  and is consumed fail-closed by OBPI-0.0.69-03's derived view later.
- The pipeline marker
  `.claude/plans/.pipeline-active-OBPI-0.0.69-01-support-channel-ledger-and-validator-dispatch.json`
  carries `dispatch_state` (7 Stage-2 records), `verification_dispatch`
  (4 Verifier records, all PASS), and `verification_timing`. The runtime
  REGENERATES the marker (fresh nonce, dropping extra keys) on every
  `--from=` re-entry — re-persist via
  `gzkit.pipeline_runtime.persist_dispatch_state` if needed after re-runs.
- A mis-named scoped ARB receipt
  (`arb-step-unittest-8a594f88d00b4612acf8d05a9ce03ae6`) is flagged
  non-canonical by `gz arb validate` by design; superseded by
  `arb-step-unitscoped-c6a26fbeacb84b0eb4cd8d5ebf42aaca`. `gz check` does not
  run `gz arb validate`, so nothing blocks.
- The behave waiver for this OBPI's 4 REQs is registered in
  `data/behave_coverage_waivers.json` (resolver-internal semantics; no new
  operator-runnable CLI surface until OBPI-03); the brief carries `req_atomic`
  frontmatter and an operator-attested allowlist amendment (3 read-only
  test-import paths).

## Decisions Made

- **Decision:** Operator runs the OBPI-0.0.69-01 Stage 4 attestation ceremony
  personally; the agent stands down after creating this register entry and
  releasing the lock.
  **Rationale:** three agent-rendered ceremony presentations failed to match
  the cadence and outputs the operator attests against.
  **Alternatives rejected:** a fourth agent presentation attempt — rejected by
  the operator's explicit takeover.
- **Decision:** Authoring-time `--req-kind-discipline` keeps legacy keyword
  citations green (strict-parse-then-fallback in `_check_support_req`).
  **Rationale:** hard-verifying at authoring time turned 8 pre-existing briefs
  red repo-wide; the ADR scopes fail-close to in-closeout ADRs via the derived
  view (OBPI-03).
  **Alternatives rejected:** authoring-time hard-verify (repo-wide red);
  editing the 8 foreign briefs (outside this OBPI's allowlist).
- **Decision:** `_KNOWN_LEDGER_EVENT_TYPES` derived from the `TypedLedgerEvent`
  union via import-time introspection, with an empty explicitly-commented
  extras set.
  **Rationale:** quality-review finding MF-1 — the hand-maintained parallel
  set had already drifted (ghost `obpi_completed` entry); §1a coupled-surface
  coherence.
  **Alternatives rejected:** keeping the hardcoded frozenset with a coherence
  test only (still a parallel registry).
- **Decision:** Lock released with this handoff as the register entry
  (ordinary release, not `--abandon`).
  **Rationale:** token-block discipline — a token cannot be surrendered
  without a register entry; work is paused at a human gate, not abandoned.
  **Alternatives rejected:** holding the lock for the operator's run (would
  block any other session and the TTL would force a reap).

## Immediate Next Steps

1. **Operator runs the Stage 4 attestation ceremony personally** for
   OBPI-0.0.69-01 (their stated intent). Entry points:
   `uv run gz obpi pipeline OBPI-0.0.69-01-support-channel-ledger-and-validator-dispatch --from=ceremony`
   then, on their own attestation, the runtime's `--from=sync` command with
   `--attestor` and `--evidence-json` (re-claim the lock first:
   `uv run gz obpi lock claim OBPI-0.0.69-01-support-channel-ledger-and-validator-dispatch`).
2. After OBPI-01 completes: OBPI-0.0.69-02 (FENCE channel, GHI #538) is next in
   the ADR's serial order — same pipeline route; both 01/02 touch
   `src/gzkit/req_kind.py`, deliberately sequential.
3. Route the standing process question captured in
   `.gzkit/insights/agent-insights.jsonl` (2026-06-10 records): define
   mechanically what "running the skill" means for ceremony skills so agent
   sessions reproduce the operator-expected cadence (candidate: GHI or rule
   sharpening on `gz-obpi-pipeline` SKILL.md).
4. Brief-reconcile neighborhood-filter false positive (same insights file,
   2026-06-10T06:05 record) awaits routing per defect-fix thresholds.

## Pending Work / Open Loops

- OBPI-0.0.69-01: implemented + verified, **unattested, unsynced** — parked at
  the Stage 4 human gate; working tree intentionally dirty until the runtime's
  Stage 5 two-sync pattern runs post-attestation.
- OBPI-0.0.69-02/03/04: pending drafts (FENCE channel; derived view + gate
  repoint; ln retirement). GHI #543 closes with OBPI-01's completion ceremony;
  #538 with OBPI-02; #599 supersession note lands with OBPI-04.
- ADR-0.0.41 closeout remains downstream of OBPI-0.0.69-03/04.
- The flagged mis-named ARB receipt ages out of `gz arb validate --limit`
  windows naturally; no action required.

## Environment State

Python 3.13 via uv; macOS (darwin 25.5.0). `pre-commit` pre-push hook runs
`gz check` (will fire on the operator's Stage 5 sync). ARB receipts under
`artifacts/receipts/`. No database state.
