# Blocked task review — 2026-10-04

Review scope: all nonterminal task blocks in access-engine workplans. Changes
are confined to this repository and its State Hub projection. Owner source
records were inspected read-only. This record establishes acceptance
requirements; it records no new live approval, credential, identity or window.

| Our task | Owner dependency and record | Required return / acceptance evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| FLEX-WP-0031-T02 | audit-core, accepted AUDIT-IN-0006 | Exact sender rows for `flex-auth.ops-warden`, `.tenant-engine`, `.user-engine`, `.secrets-engine`, `.informed-decision-t03`, `.informed-decision-sitting`; `may_write: true`, `may_read: false`, `tenants: ["*"]` with the accepted deny-for-not-yet-created-tenant justification, load-bearing evidence kind, redact policy, four heartbeat classes at 86400s, and the source-owned wire cadence declaration. Return owning revision, registration references, token custody/mount references, and native acceptance status; prepared rows alone do not establish live admission. The new fetch pin needs separate admission if it is added to the emission rollout; the six-pin intake does not cover it. |
| FLEX-WP-0031-T02 | gate-house, GH-WP-0004-T12 (todo in owner source) | A published decision disposing of FLEX-DEC-2026-018: deny/redact/not_applicable may leave after outbox failure while allow/audit_only are withheld. audit-core's accepted intake is not a statutory waiver. State whether the direction-limited exception is admitted, its declaration/detection conditions, or the required replacement semantics. |
| FLEX-WP-0031-T02 / T08 | railiance-platform custody; ops-warden routing | AUDIT-IN-0006 names the attended OpenBao sender mint into `platform/data/workloads/audit-core/senders`, using the platform attended helper. Supply the governed lane and per-pin token mount/rotation references plus owner admission receipts; never send token values to Git, State Hub or chat. Before any credential request, run `warden route find` and `warden route show` as AGENTS.md requires. No credential request or mint was made by this review. |
| FLEX-WP-0031-T06 | audit-core, reconciliation contract | Current `audit_core/postgres_backend.py:event_counts` and `sqlite_backend.py:event_counts` count **accepted_at** in `[since, until)`. Our log has **CommittedAt/OccurredAt**. Ingest returns only status/reference, with no acceptance timestamp. Return an approved matching basis: counts by source event time, or stable per-event acceptance timestamps (including duplicates) that our sender can persist. Define bounds, clock/late-delivery handling, source/tenant scope and retry/crash treatment. Identical bounds alone cannot reconcile these two clocks; missing admission is not the only blocker. |
| FLEX-WP-0031-T08 | operator, platform/network owners and audit-core observer | Approve exact immutable image, enabled pin/source, PVC size/node capacity, storage growth/retention, governed token mount and ingress/egress changes. Return native 202/duplicate-200 delivery, restart/cursor and lag evidence, plus an audit-core silence finding in a separately authorized non-production exercise. This review sets no test window or engagement. The optional chart and worker remain disabled on every pin. |
| FLEX-WP-ADHOC-2026-10-03-T02 | operator decision 877c268b-2089-42f1-a811-d98f549c1cb2, ops-bridge, ops-warden WARDEN-WP-0039-T03 | Decision is still open. Approve the exact CI digest and live install; record headroom/dry-run/rollout, Service IP and ops-bridge tunnel on 19091. ops-warden's unread return 26992e49 confirms fetch URL separation is implemented at 7d4381e/88c22d4; its task now needs configured `policy.fetch_flex_auth_url`, native health/allow/wrong-owner/fail-closed receipts. This is deployment acceptance, not missing evaluator code. |
| FLEX-WP-0020-T11 | sbom-nexus, open SBOM-IN-0001 | Owner receipt of the scheduled catch-up ingest: `access-engine` snapshot, frozen source SHA, repository UUID `fda8ad85-a7d7-4055-8f21-902a533e59df`. Owner source still shows open; elapsed time is not an ingest receipt. No manual production ingest was attempted. |
| FLEX-WP-0020-T11 | secrets-engine; railiance-fabric | secrets-engine still has `../flex-auth` in `docs/exec-owner-binding.md:89`; return the source-coordinate correction and existing handoff completion reference. railiance-fabric must return the owning residual record for its historical `repo:flex-auth` discovery node and explicitly state historical retention vs canonical mapping. No receiving task ID or completion is invented for either return. |
| FLEX-WP-0020-T11 | operator decision e071b34e-c4d4-49d0-824d-2c58bb0ae496 | Decision remains open. Name the soak bounds, observed deployment/decision/telemetry/package/automation evidence and residual owner receipts, then approve the exact obsolete checkout to remove. No soak success or cleanup is inferred. The protected flex-auth alias remains retained. |

The three remaining root workplans are `blocked`, with task status `wait` and
explicit dependency/human gates. Completed local work is not blocked on remote
registration: FLEX-WP-0031-T05 now covers the implementation, T07 the optional
PVC and profile validation, and T08 the remaining native delivery acceptance.
T06 retains the valid-window comparator and native acceptance requirements.

FLEX-WP-0027 is finished on the original task scope. secrets-engine's terminal
SECRETS-WP-0010-T03 and hashed native completion receipt establish human
acceptance/consumption for the September 16 version-2 cycle, actor `worsch`.
See `evidence/2026-10-04-t03-owner-completion-review.json`. The version-3
records now in access-engine are the separate IR-WP-0005-T02 cycle; consumed
approvals cannot be replayed. The old open human decision remains recorded as
history; this review does not answer a fresh human decision for the operator.

The whitehat return from this session also remains a gap: no recorded E2
tenant-A identity establishes absence of tenant-B authority. Reply

`bd8cf37e-80e8-4df9-9181-1441b31baa30` returns that gap as access-engine. E2 and
ASM targets remain pending; terminal engagements were not reused and no test
packet was sent. A real tenant-scoped identity/authority receipt must come from
its identity/surface owner before access-engine can confirm it.
