CTO First Real Governed Workflow Pass Evidence

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

Result

Status: validated.

Work item: CTO-WORK-049

Approved target:

/home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/cto-stage5-target-sandbox

Approved task:

src/strings.py slugify alignment task

Target commit:

7706f99 fix(strings): align src.slugify with root behavior, add whitespace tests

Harness pass report:

/home/svrnty/.hermes/profiles/cto-planb/harness-runs/20260601T105222Z-r1-src-string-slugify-180161/report.json

Stage 5 proof:

/home/svrnty/.hermes/profiles/cto-planb/harness-runs/20260601T105222Z-r1-src-string-slugify-180161/stage5-owned-repo-proof.json

Hermes fix commit:

9806400 Fix Case Stage 5 baseline supervisor

Evidence Facts

• target repository admission status: admitted
• target repository start clean: true
• target repository ending clean: true
• Case process started: true
• changed files: src/strings.py, test_strings.py
• allowed paths passed: true
• forbidden paths passed: true
• forbidden actions attempted: false
• public publication attempted: false
• push, merge, deploy, close, PR open attempted: false
• validation command: python3 -m pytest -q
• validation passed: true
• operator outcome: accepted
• runtime default activation: false

Root Cause Fixed

The Stage 5 lifecycle supervisor previously treated any repository with more than one commit as ready to stop Case after a clean commit state. The owned Stage 5 target already had history, so the supervisor killed Case before the approved task diff existed.

Hermes now passes the captured baseline HEAD into the Case engine and stops only after HEAD != baseline_head with a clean worktree.

The Stage 5 validator now uses a target repository with existing history so this failure class is covered.

Decision

CTO-WORK-049 is validated as the first real governed workflow execution.

Case remains a gated adapter behind CTO Harness.

Runtime default activation remains false.

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