OIC semantic code-start gate closure candidate

[veraxis-protocol]

Scope

Owner-authorized non-semantic closure of OD-001 through OD-004 from current main fc96d6f590a6f8ed12ecbb256f33f6de16d0c619.

PR #35 at 8fc72aba7c7de80e64de83a8f9f65184b002b9ac remains the historical audit/readiness evidence basis. This is a fresh closure branch; it does not implement semantics.

Owner decisions represented

• OD-001: CA-3 plus three deterministic, explicitly SYNTHETIC and FICTIONAL companion sources. Each byte set has an immutable SHA-256 and benchmark-only authority. CA-3 remains an unofficial copy; its existing source-specific rights limitations and broader Canada clearance state are unchanged.
• OD-002: exact bounded admission of ztl-v0.1 / 0.1.0, signed tag veraxis-ztl-input-v0.2-signed, commit 56e1ff0510c62b04dbd85bbe08b7a6deacbf276b, fixture-index SHA-256 ffadd65352d69ffcf55787c6dc26339e51eaed76b4c2ae789f7c813625247145. No ZTL runtime import, call, or semantic change.
• OD-003: Tier-1 reproduction is NOT ESTABLISHED and deferred to the experimental-release boundary; it is not represented as PASS.
• OD-004: non-executable ActionProposal → OIC exact proposal → RuntimeDecision → evidence handed downstream toward VEIP boundary. OIC has no VEIP lifecycle authority; VEIP does not reinterpret ZTL; absent integration fails closed; no adapter/import/execution is authorized.

Fail-closed evidence

The new stdlib-only verifier and contract tests refuse all 15 required conditions: synthetic-as-real authority, missing synthetic classification, byte mutation, provenance mismatch, fabricated government metadata, wrong ZTL commit/tag/index, stale currentness, Tier-1 escalation, executable VEIP integration, OIC lifecycle authority, VEIP reinterpretation of ZTL, premature semantic implementation, and global-manifest escalation.

Global verify-manifest --all remains truthfully INCOMPLETE / exit 3. Scoped prerequisite readiness does not launder global completeness.

Local producer verification

• git diff --check: clean
• make verify PYTHON=.venv/bin/python: schema 9/9, bootstrap 52/52, scoped verifier PASS, global manifest INCOMPLETE / exit 3 as expected
• ruff check .: PASS
• ruff format --check .: PASS (47 files)
• python -m mypy src tests: PASS (35 source files)
• python -m pip check: PASS
• python -m pip_audit --skip-editable: no known vulnerabilities
• SBOM generation: completed
• wheel build/smoke-install: completed
• forbidden-pattern scan: PASS
• Local pytest and make falsify: authoring host Python 3.12 process exited by signal 11; no assertion result was produced. GitHub-hosted exact-PR-composition CI is required and is the decisive suite evidence.

Claim ceiling

No semantic compiler correctness, source-interpretation correctness, legal correctness, benchmark performance, runtime authority, VEIP lifecycle, production-readiness, or expanded product claim is made.
