CTO Case Source Admission Record

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

Purpose

Record the minimum source admission facts required before Case can progress beyond planning as a Case Candidate Backend.

This record does not admit Case for execution. It records a pinned public source observation and names the remaining blockers before any non-artificial run.

Non-Authority Notice

This record does not authorize Runtime behavior, WebUI Product behavior, Case execution, real-repo mutation, merge, deploy, push, close, vendor-source mutation, external developer repository mutation, or Core promotion.

Source Identity

Field	Value
Source name	Case
Source URL	https://github.com/workos/case.git
Source web URL	https://github.com/workos/case
Source type	public Git repository
Observed branch	main
Pinned commit	7959ac917cdeb0983b4aaa20bb9f42021747fed8
Commit date	2026-05-19T18:05:46-07:00
Retrieval date	2026-05-31
Retrieval command	git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/workos/case.git
Integrity reference	pinned Git commit SHA-1 7959ac917cdeb0983b4aaa20bb9f42021747fed8

License Note

License status is unresolved.

Observed facts from the retrieval:

• no top-level LICENSE or LICENSE.md file was found in the shallow clone;
• package.json did not expose a license field in the inspected section;
• package.json contains "private": true.

Admission consequence: Case is not admitted for non-artificial execution until a human-readable license note is completed and the allowed internal-use posture is explicit.

Source Boundary

Protected source boundary:

• do not mutate the Case repository;
• do not vendor Case source into Cortex OS Core;
• do not copy Case implementation source into this child workspace;
• do not treat Case source as Cortex OS authority;
• do not run Case against a Target Repository from this record alone.

Allowed planning use:

• reference the source URL;
• reference the pinned commit;
• inspect public metadata for admission planning;
• define adapter contracts against observed behavior without importing vendor implementation.

Allowed Execution Mode

Current allowed execution mode: planning-only.

Blocked modes:

• artificial Case run;
• copied repository fixture run;
• disposable sandbox repository run;
• owned noncritical repository run;
• candidate-default real-repo use.

Mode unlock requires a later validated adapter contract, source license note, harness evidence validation, explicit gate, and staged proof record.

Update Rule

Changing the pinned Case source requires:

• previous source URL;
• previous pinned commit or tag;
• new source URL;
• new pinned commit or tag;
• retrieval date;
• retrieval command;
• license note review;
• rerun of applicable adapter fixtures;
• evidence record naming previous and new source IDs.

No moving branch reference may be used as proof without a pinned commit or tag.

Admission Status

Status: not admitted for execution.

Reason: source identity is pinned, but license note and executable adapter proof are incomplete.
