# CTO Case Stage 6 Real Governed Refresh Evidence

Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.

## Result

Status: validated.

Work item: `CTO-WORK-055`

Hermes CTO commit:

```text
2b6e114 Add Stage 6 real governed refresh
```

Focused refresh validator:

```text
python3 harness/runner/validate-case-stage6-real-refresh.py --json
```

Focused refresh comparison artifact:

```text
/home/svrnty/.hermes/profiles/cto-planb/harness-runs/20260601T111843Z-stage6-real-governed-refresh/stage6-real-governed-refresh-comparison.json
```

Post-merge aggregate Harness command:

```text
./harness/evals/health.sh --json
```

Post-merge aggregate status:

```text
pass
```

Post-merge refresh comparison artifact:

```text

```

## Evidence Facts

- refresh type: `stage6-real-governed-read-only`
- first real governed Stage 5 pass report was imported
- Stage 5 proof was imported
- target repository read-only check passed
- report shape passed
- event validity passed
- allowed-path compliance passed
- prior Stage 6 failure closure passed
- artifact completeness passed
- forbidden-action closure passed
- operator acceptance passed
- source admission status remained current
- fake lane was represented by prior Stage 6 comparison evidence
- Codex lane was explicitly blocked without explicit Codex admission
- Pi lane was explicitly blocked without explicit Pi probe/admission
- runtime default activation: false
- no target repository mutation attempted
- no push, merge, deploy, close, PR open, issue close, public publication, vendor-source mutation, or unowned repository mutation was authorized

## Decision

`CTO-WORK-055` is validated.

Case remains a gated adapter behind the CTO Harness seam.

Runtime default activation remains false.

This evidence does not promote CTO artifacts into Core and does not authorize broader target mutation.
