CTO Hermes Approval State PRD

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

Problem

The CTO panel shows Harness proof state, but it does not yet expose JP approval state or allowed next actions. That leaves Hermes as evidence display only. The endgoal requires Hermes to provide visualization, approval, control, and replay while CTO and Harness keep execution gated.

Scope

Add read-only approval posture to the CTO control summary and panel:

  • approval_required
  • approval_granted
  • execution_allowed
  • approval reason
  • allowed next actions
  • blocked next actions

This slice must show what can happen next, not perform the action.

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.

Acceptance Criteria

  • CTO control summary includes read-only approval posture.
  • CTO control summary includes allowed next actions and blocked next actions.
  • Approval state defaults to approval_required: true, approval_granted: false, and execution_allowed: false.
  • Hermes panel renders JP approval state.
  • Hermes panel renders allowed next actions.
  • Harness-backed summary data remains the source of truth.
  • Hermes visualizes control state; CTO and Harness remain the gates.

Validation

  • Focused plugin tests prove approval posture is present, safe, and rendered by static JS.
  • Plugin aggregate tests pass before commit and after merge.
  • CTO child validator records the planning and evidence state.
  • S69 prose validator passes before final report.

Success Definition

Hermes can show JP approval state and allowed next actions for the CTO flow without becoming an authority layer or allowing execution from the WebUI.
