# Fable/Codex Approval: Minimal-Workflow Close-Out (de-mandate ATM/AM)

## Council Verdict
**PASS** (round 4). Independent Codex (gpt-5.5) review of the 8-bead discovery plan, looped to PASS per operator instruction ("loop till good"). Cross-family check: author is Claude (Opus 4.8), judge is gpt-family, no self-approval.

## Loop history
- **Round 1 — WARN** (5 required changes): corrected contamination diagnosis (my divergence claim was a broken-grep artifact), scoped isolation gate to exclude flywheel/gold/corpus, single-agent = alias not new backend, added Law0/bo-mac no-Claude-fallback acceptance, named concrete AM-mandate surfaces.
- **Round 2 — WARN**: corrections were in packet+comments but not the actual br bead bodies; updated 4 bead descriptions.
- **Round 3 — WARN** (2 nits): literal `594-vs-287` token lingered in a body; `wiki` missing from isolation acceptance exclusion list.
- **Round 4 — PASS**: both nits cleared.

## Commands Run (judge, final round)
judge_source: codex-gpt
- jq -r 'select(.id=="ag-ledger-cache-reconcile-uk3us")|.description' _beads/issues.jsonl
- jq -r 'select(.id=="ag-skill-isolation-ci-gate-jxpbx")|.description' _beads/issues.jsonl
- (earlier rounds: verified tick.go:447/455 git-add-gitignored-_beads, select.go AGENTOPS_ORCHESTRATION selector + BackendClaude fallback, council/pre-mortem .feature presence, bead DAG consistency, non-goal lane scan)

## Reasons (PASS)
- Claims 1-3 verified against real code (tick.go, select.go, council/pre-mortem features).
- Bead DAG internally consistent; dependency ordering safe (tick fix → close/eviction; reconcile → eviction; doctrine → mechanism).
- Deferred eviction correctly treated as a one-way door (dry-run + provenance cross-check + operator sign-off + no hard-delete).
- No hard-lane (flywheel/gold/corpus) violation.
- All 5 round-1 + 2 round-3 required changes applied to the actual bead descriptions.

## Required Changes
none (all addressed across rounds 1-4).

## Scope note
This approval gates the de-mandate-ATM/AM doctrine bead (`ag-single-agent-first-doctrine-k38mx`), which itself still requires a `/council` or `/pre-mortem` pre-flight on the exact `operating-loop.md` wording before that one lands (near-one-way door).
chore(docs): reconcile doc/ops debt waves A–F Align br-first tracker truth, RPI terminology, stale architecture surfaces, new drift gates, gate deferral drain (13→11), and audit artifacts so agents and operators share one hookless map with mechanical acceptance.
