+## Requirement Audit
+
+| Requirement | Status | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Cortex governs | proven | Local planning SOT states not Core authority; Core promotion remains not-promoted. |
+| Hermes controls | proven | `CTO-WORK-075` records remote sync and temporary Hermes WebUI boot smoke. |
+| CTO routes | proven | CTO workboard records validated route sequence through `CTO-WORK-075`. |
+| Harness proves | proven | Stage 6 candidate-default evidence and `CTO-WORK-071` governed execution evidence reference Harness artifacts. |
+| Case executes only after proof | proven | `CTO-WORK-069` approval and `CTO-WORK-071` consumed execution evidence bind one approved run. |
+| Bounded code changes with evidence | proven | `CTO-WORK-071` records changed files, allowed paths passed, forbidden paths passed, and `3 passed`. |
+| Target repos stay owned and protected | proven | `CTO-WORK-071` records owned target repo, clean start, clean end, and allowed paths. |
+| Default status is earned not assumed | proven | Stage 6 candidate-default evidence exists and Runtime default activation remains false. |

+# CTO Endgoal Completion Audit PRD
+
+Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The CTO product surface has strong local evidence: staged Case proof, governed Stage 5 execution, consumed approval display, Hermes WebUI smoke, and synced plugin state. The active endgoal includes a transportable CTO stack. Transportable means repo-backed SOT, synced plugin code, documented entrypoints, validators, and no hidden vendor-source edits; it does not require a separate packaging project in this slice.
+
+## Solution
+
+Record a requirement-by-requirement endgoal audit. Mark proven requirements as validated by existing evidence. Record pragmatic transportability evidence from repo-backed SOT, remote plugin sync, validators, and no vendor edits.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Audit Cortex governs.
+- Audit Hermes controls.
+- Audit CTO routes.
+- Audit Harness proves.
+- Audit Case executes only after proof.
+- Audit bounded code changes with evidence.
+- Audit target repositories stay owned and protected.
+- Audit default status is earned, not assumed.
+- Audit candidate-default evidence and runtime default separation.
+- Audit transportable CTO stack proof.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not activate Case as default backend.
+- Do not activate Case as default backend.
+- Do not rerun Case.
+- Do not mutate target repositories.
+- Do not promote child-local CTO SOT into Core.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-webui`.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-agent`.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `WORKBOARD.yaml` records `CTO-WORK-076` and `CTO-WORK-077` as validated.
+- The closeout states `completion_status: complete`.
+- The closeout records `transportability proof sufficient`.
+- The closeout records `transportability evidence: repo-backed routes, remote plugin sync, validators, and no vendor edits`.
+- The closeout references `CTO-WORK-075` remote sync and live smoke evidence.
+- The closeout references `CTO-WORK-071` governed execution evidence.
+- The closeout references Stage 6 candidate-default evidence.
+- The closeout states Runtime default activation remains false.
+- The closeout states the active goal completion evidence recorded.
+
+## Validation

+# CTO Governed Execution Approval PRD
+
+Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The governed execution request records the exact target, paths, and command, but it intentionally keeps approval closed. The CTO stack needs a governed execution approval record before the next Harness run can mutate an owned Target Repository.
+
+## Solution
+
+Create a single-task approval capture for the exact approval packet already issued by JP. This governed execution approval permits one approved Harness run only and does not make Case a default backend.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Record the exact approval packet.
+- Record `approval_granted: true`.
+- Record `execution_allowed: true`.
+- Record `execution_scope: one approved Harness run only`.
+- Preserve the admitted target repository.
+- Preserve the allowed paths.
+- Preserve the Harness command.
+- Preserve that this record is not execution evidence.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not execute Case in this approval-capture slice.
+- Do not activate Case as default backend.
+- Do not mutate any path outside the allowed paths.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-agent`.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-webui`.
+- Do not promote this local record into Core authority.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `WORKBOARD.yaml` records `CTO-WORK-068` and `CTO-WORK-069` as validated.
+- The governed execution approval includes the exact approval packet.
+- The governed execution approval includes `approval_granted: true`.
+- The governed execution approval includes `execution_allowed: true`.
+- Runtime default activation remains false.
+- The next execution is constrained to one approved Harness run only.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `python3 tools/validate_cto_child.py`
+- `python3 /home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/core/tools/check_s69_caveman_prose_discipline.py`
+
+## Risks
+
+The main risk is approval scope creep. The record prevents that by making the approval single-task, path-bound, and Harness-bound. This record is not execution evidence.
+
+## Success Definition
+
+CTO has a durable approval capture that can unlock the next real Harness execution slice without changing Core authority, runtime default state, or upstream vendor source.
+
+## Required Approval Packet

+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The governed execution approval exists, and the approved Stage 5 run already produced Harness evidence. CTO needs a closeout that binds the approval record to the actual Harness evidence and prevents accidental rerun under the same single-task approval.
+
+## Solution
+
+Record governed execution evidence for `CTO-WORK-049` and `CTO-WORK-069`. Mark the approval as consumed by the existing `r1-src-string-slugify` Harness pass report.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Reference the pass report and Stage 5 proof.
+- Reference the admitted target repository.
+- Reference target commit `7706f99b4ca4f1bd8c2d4e0a6d498f94f418b741`.
+- Record that one approved Harness run consumed the approval.
+- Record the current target repo validation command and result.
+- Preserve that Runtime default activation remains false.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not rerun Case.
+- Do not activate Case as default backend.
+- Do not authorize another Case run.
+- Do not mutate target repositories in this closeout slice.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-agent`.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-webui`.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `WORKBOARD.yaml` records `CTO-WORK-070` and `CTO-WORK-071` as validated.
+- The closeout references the Harness report.
+- The closeout references the Stage 5 proof.

+# CTO Governed Execution Request PRD
+
+Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.
+
+## Problem
+
+The CTO stack has an exact approval packet and Hermes can show it, but there is no durable governed execution request that records the proposed action before any backend runs.
+
+The next useful step is a governed execution request that creates a non-mutating execution request record. The record must preserve the exact approval packet, admitted target repository, allowed paths, Harness command, proof pointers, and blocked actions.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Create a local CTO planning record for the approved candidate task shape.
+- Keep `approval_granted: false`.
+- Keep `execution_allowed: false`.
+- Name the admitted target repository and allowed paths.
+- Name the Harness command that would run only after approval.
+- Preserve that JP approval is still required before execution.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not execute Case.
+- Do not activate Case as default backend.
+- Do not mutate target repositories.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-agent`.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-webui`.
+- Do not change Core authority.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `WORKBOARD.yaml` records `CTO-WORK-066` and `CTO-WORK-067` as validated.
+- The governed execution request includes `approval_granted: false`.
+- The governed execution request includes `execution_allowed: false`.
+- Runtime default activation remains false.
+- JP approval is still required before execution.
+- Local validation checks the new record and its guardrails.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `python3 tools/validate_cto_child.py`
+- `python3 /home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/core/tools/check_s69_caveman_prose_discipline.py`
+
+## Risk
+
+The main risk is accidentally treating request creation as execution approval. The guardrail is explicit: Do not execute Case. Do not mutate target repositories. JP approval is still required before execution.

+
+## Exact Approval Packet
+

+
+```text
+I approve CTO-WORK-049 against /home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/cto-stage5-target-sandbox for the src/strings.py slugify alignment task.
+```
+
+This record does not grant that approval. It preserves the exact approval packet for later JP action.

+
+- admitted target repository: `/home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/cto-stage5-target-sandbox`
+
+## Allowed Paths
+
+- allowed paths: `src/strings.py`

+- Do not mutate target repositories.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-agent`.

+
+## Next Allowed Action

+# CTO Hermes Approval Packet Evidence
+
+Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.
+
+## Scope
+
+This evidence closes `CTO-WORK-065`.
+
+The implementation adds a read-only JP approval packet to the Hermes WebUI CTO control panel. It prepares copy/paste approval text from Harness evidence but does not approve execution, activate Case, or mutate target repositories.
+
+## Implementation Evidence
+
+- Hermes plugin commit: `a109448 Add CTO approval packet surface`
+- API field: `approval_packet`
+- API field: `approval_command_text`
+- API field: required evidence paths
+- API field: allowed paths
+- API field: blocked actions
+- API invariant: not executable
+- UI surface: `static/cto_control_panel.js`
+- Route surface: `routes/cto_control_summary.py`
+
+## Validation Evidence
+
+- Focused validation: `python3 -m pytest tests/unit/test_cto_control_summary.py tests/unit/test_cto_control_panel_static.py -q`
+- Focused result: `5 passed`
+- Aggregate validation before commit: `python3 scripts/ast-connection-map.py --check`
+- Aggregate result before commit: `CONNECTION-MAP.md is fresh`
+- Aggregate validation before commit: `python3 -m pytest tests/ -q`
+- Aggregate result before commit: `103 passed, 4 skipped`
+- Aggregate validation after merge: `python3 scripts/ast-connection-map.py --check`
+- Aggregate result after merge: `CONNECTION-MAP.md is fresh`
+- Aggregate validation after merge: `python3 -m pytest tests/ -q`
+- Aggregate result after merge: `107 passed`
+
+## Governance Evidence
+
+- Harness-backed summary data remains the source of truth.
+- Hermes prepares approval text; JP remains the approver.
+- Case runtime default active: false
+- target repository mutation: false
+- upstream `hermes-webui` edited: false
+- upstream `hermes-agent` edited: false
+
+## Result
+
+`CTO-WORK-065` is validated because Hermes can now prepare a JP approval packet while remaining read-only and non-executable.

+
+Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.
+
+## Problem
+
+Hermes now shows read-only JP approval state, but JP still needs a precise copy/paste approval packet that includes evidence paths, allowed paths, blocked actions, and the exact approval text. Without that, the handoff from proof to human approval is still manual and easy to distort.
+
+## Scope
+
+Add a read-only JP approval packet to the CTO control summary and panel:
+
+- `approval_packet`
+- `approval_command_text`
+- required evidence paths
+- allowed paths
+- blocked actions
+- proof-ready state
+
+The packet prepares text for JP to copy/paste. It must not approve anything by itself.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not add executable approval buttons.
+- Do not activate Case as default backend.
+- Do not mutate target repositories.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-webui`.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-agent`.
+- Do not change Cortex Core authority.
+- Do not infer missing target repository admission beyond Harness evidence.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- CTO control summary includes `approval_packet`.
+- Approval packet includes `approval_command_text`.
+- Approval packet includes required evidence paths.
+- Approval packet includes allowed paths.
+- Approval packet includes blocked actions.
+- Approval packet is marked not executable.
+- Hermes panel renders copy/paste approval text.
+- Harness-backed summary data remains the source of truth.
+- Hermes prepares approval text; JP remains the approver.
+
+## Validation
+
+- Focused plugin tests prove packet fields, fail-closed state, and static rendering hooks.
+- Plugin aggregate tests pass before commit and after merge.
+- CTO child validator records planning and evidence.
+- S69 prose validator passes before report.
+
+## Success Definition
+
+Hermes can prepare a precise JP approval packet from Harness evidence without gaining approval authority or execution authority.

+# CTO Hermes Consumed Approval Evidence PRD
+
+Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Hermes already exposes approval state and approval packet data, and the approved Stage 5 Case run already has pass evidence. The WebUI needs to show that this approval is consumed, not still available for rerun.
+
+## Solution
+
+Record the Hermes plugin closeout for consumed approval evidence. The `/api/cto/control-summary` route now exposes `governed_execution`, `approval_consumed`, and `consumed_by_pass_evidence`. The CTO panel shows consumed pass and consumed proof paths.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Record Hermes plugin commit `6f694b4 feat(plugin): surface consumed CTO approval evidence`.
+- Record the governed execution consumed approval state.
+- Record that execution_allowed remains false after consumption.
+- Record Stage 5 pass and Stage 5 proof replay paths.
+- Record that Case runtime default active remains false.
+- Record that target repository mutation remains false.
+- Record that upstream `hermes-webui` edited: false.
+- Record that upstream `hermes-agent` edited: false.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not rerun Case.
+- Do not create a new JP approval.
+- Do not activate Case as default backend.
+- Do not mutate target repositories.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-webui`.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-agent`.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `WORKBOARD.yaml` records `CTO-WORK-072` and `CTO-WORK-073` as validated.
+- The PRD records `governed_execution`.
+- The PRD records `approval_consumed`.
+- The PRD records `consumed_by_pass_evidence`.
+- The closeout references plugin commit `6f694b4 feat(plugin): surface consumed CTO approval evidence`.
+- The closeout records `/api/cto/control-summary`.

+# CTO Hermes Live Smoke Remote Sync PRD
+
+Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Hermes consumed approval evidence is implemented and recorded locally. CTO needs a closeout that proves the plugin branch was synced to its remote and that a temporary Hermes WebUI boot smoke reached the CTO control endpoint and assets.
+
+## Solution
+
+Record remote sync and live boot smoke evidence for the Hermes CTO control surface. This proves the plugin can boot under the WebUI smoke path and expose `/api/cto/control-summary`, `cto_control_panel.js`, and `cto_control_panel.css` without editing upstream source.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Record remote push to `openharbor/jp`.
+- Record Hermes plugin commit `6f694b4 feat(plugin): surface consumed CTO approval evidence`.
+- Record boot smoke command `python3 scripts/boot-smoke.py`.
+- Record `failed: 0`.
+- Record `/api/cto/control-summary` smoke status accepted.
+- Record `/plugins/svrnty/cto_control_panel.js` smoke status accepted.
+- Record `/plugins/svrnty/cto_control_panel.css` smoke status accepted.
+- Preserve that authentication redirects or 401 responses are acceptable smoke statuses under the plugin smoke contract.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not create a new JP approval.
+- Do not rerun Case.
+- Do not activate Case as default backend.
+- Do not mutate target repositories.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-webui`.
+- Do not edit upstream `hermes-agent`.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `WORKBOARD.yaml` records `CTO-WORK-074` and `CTO-WORK-075` as validated.
+- The closeout records `git push openharbor jp`.
+- The closeout records `d302321..6f694b4  jp -> jp`.
+- The closeout records `python3 scripts/boot-smoke.py`.
+- The closeout records `failed: 0`.
+- The closeout records `/api/cto/control-summary`.
+- The closeout records `/plugins/svrnty/cto_control_panel.js`.
+- The closeout records `/plugins/svrnty/cto_control_panel.css`.
+- The closeout states upstream `hermes-webui` edited: false.
+- The closeout states upstream `hermes-agent` edited: false.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `python3 tools/validate_cto_child.py`
+- `python3 /home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/core/tools/check_s69_caveman_prose_discipline.py`
