# CTO Core Promotion Decision Packet Closeout
Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.
Core Promotion Decision Packet.
## Workboard
- `CTO-WORK-085`
- `CTO-WORK-086`
- `CTO-WORK-087`
- `CTO-WORK-088`
## Result
- status: validated
- validated child-local repeatability evidence; not Core promotion; not Runtime default activation
- decision_status: core_promotion_requested
- ready_for_core_review: true
- recommended_next_decision: open_governed_core_prd_route
- candidate_default_repeatability_eligible: true
- repeatability_count: 2
- repeatability_status: pass
- runtime_default_activation: false
- core_promotion_status: not-promoted
- Runtime default activation remains false.
- No Core promotion occurs.
- No Core mutation occurs.
- no target repository mutation attempted
- no Case execution attempted
- Do not activate Case as default backend.
- This closeout does not authorize another Case run.

## Readiness Facts
- Cortex governs: proven
- CTO routes: proven
- Hermes controls: proven
- Harness proves: proven
- Case executes only after proof: proven
- bounded code changes with evidence: proven
- target repos stay owned and protected: proven
- default status is earned not assumed: proven
- candidate-default evidence: proven
- repeatability_count: 2
- repeatability_status: pass
- candidate_default_repeatability_eligible: true
- runtime_default_activation: false
- core_promotion_status: not-promoted
- Codex lane: blocked with rationale
- Pi lane: blocked with rationale
## Future Core Route Requirements
Any future Core route must:
- start from the Core workspace, not this CTO workspace;
- classify the promoted object class before mutation;
- obey the Core Sequence Protocol;
- update Core SOT only through a governed Core PRD and SOT Issue route;
- add Core validator coverage before any promotion claim;
- produce Core Evidence before any Core authority claim;
- keep runtime default activation separate from candidate-default readiness;
- preserve no-secret, no-endpoint-value, no-raw-Target-Repository-content rules;
- preserve rollback by keeping Case disabled until a later governed route changes runtime default activation.
## Blockers Before Promotion
- No Core PRD exists for CTO promotion.
- No Core SOT Issue exists for CTO promotion.
- No Core validator for CTO promotion exists.
- No Core Evidence file exists for CTO promotion.
- No Core Sequence Protocol route has selected CTO promotion as current work.
- Runtime default activation remains false.
## Explicit Non-Authority
This packet is a decision packet, not execution evidence, not Core Evidence, not a Core Protocol, not a runtime switch, and not a promotion approval.
Do not push, merge, deploy, close, PR open, issue close, publish, mutate vendor source, mutate external developer repositories, mutate unowned repositories, expose endpoint values, expose secret values, expose credential values, or expose raw Target Repository content.
Do not treat Case, Hermes, Pi, Codex, Harness, or CTO as Cortex OS authority.
## Validation
- `python3 tools/validate_cto_child.py`: required
- `python3 /home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/core/tools/check_s69_caveman_prose_discipline.py`: required before final claim
## Decision
CTO evidence is ready for Core review. The next pragmatic move is to open a governed Core PRD route only if JP or a governed Core route chooses to pursue promotion. Until that separate route exists and passes Core validators, Core promotion remains not-promoted and runtime default activation remains false.
