+# Final development entry review —30 October2026
+
+**Pre-Phase10 implementation/preparation: CLOSED with the existing conditional development acceptance. Phase10 autonomous execution: NO-GO pending only the three mandatory control-plane conditions below. Production: NO-GO.** The owner personally approved current UI and revised CV/PDF appearance for moving toward development; [PDF_VISUAL_APPROVAL.json](PDF_VISUAL_APPROVAL.json) records that direct decision separately from physical printing and protected activation. This closes PDF visual/spacing acceptance for the reviewed development scope. It does not certify accessibility, physical devices, language or printing.
+
+## Existing evidence is sufficient for this preparation
+
+Reviewed published checkpoint214dbd6c4d173db72cba18959dd8f81c7fc67f64, on `test/pre-phase10-ux-acceptance`, was clean and matched the independently queried remote. The frozen application/test source isba04d817fed26d659bfa2a56b089d6cac851dc34; rendering fix154a9e8 precedes it. All later changes concern evidence, metric verification and owner decisions. No post-S01 application, font, parser, renderer, fixture, document or product test source changed. Existing source manifests and Git scope checks prove correspondence.
+
+The existing1448backend/1031frontend tests,51 affected Windows browser cases, separate import8/MariaDB90+3/RD216/admission1/Linux8, Python83+Docling14 and both-platform native exports remain applicable. Approved S01 requalification is36/36 per platform with the same2mm limit; original28/20 cell-top failures remain historical raw evidence. This metric-only change did not change a generated PDF. READY_TO_RUN permits bounded documentation-only descendants and requires affected qualification when application/test source changes; the Phase10 source prompt requires fresh applicable tests for its future checkpoints. Neither requires rerunning unchanged product suites or exports just to record this approval. **No mandatory post-S01 product regression or export run is missing.** Only handoff/schema/authority checks are rerun for this metadata change; their current report supersedes the prior27, never adds to it.
+
+Current handoff result: **28/28 PASS**, including the new check that visual approval cannot be broadened into unperformed physical printing. Existing application/browser/provider/PDF totals are carried with their actual execution commits, not reported as new runs. No new audit, model inference or document export was performed.
+
+## Exact proposed baseline and scope
+
+`ENTRY_PROPOSAL.json.candidateCommit` names the normally pushed, independently read-back closure candidate. `TEST_EVIDENCE.json.testedCommit` remains the frozen application snapshotba04d817; it is intentionally a different identity. The final documentation envelope can be a descendant only within this handoff directory. At the real protected approval, resolve final clean local/remote HEAD again and bind candidate, application/source/evidence hashes and actual manifest/prompt policy. Do not adopt main or the controller's old5032ccb policy by assumption.
+
+Propose **PHASE-10 / P10-00 only**, on the existing manifest's `feature/phase10-cleanup` branch after protected activation: establish the accepted baseline and evidence-backed deletion eligibility inventory. Reuse CLEANUP_INVENTORY.md's19 entries and the57-preservation/34-route register. Deliver candidate caller/route/export/dynamic/old-data census, affected preservation IDs, rollback and proposed focused tests. It is valid to conclude that nothing is eligible. **No product edit, deletion, migration, dependency change, provider/model activation, main merge or deployment is in this initial scope.** No deletion candidate has been proved unused. Stop after P10-00 and require a protected `candidate-specific-cleanup-scope` decision before P10-01. Do not turn assessment permission into permission to remove active compatibility paths. This task has not begun P10-00.
+
+## Only remaining mandatory barriers to autonomous entry
+
+1. **AUTO-ADAPTER-01 — real composite adapter.** The installed policy's `qualified-provider-browser-python-pdf-security-preservation` check is still `configured:false`, including P10-00. The controller/platform owner must install and qualify actual commands, trusted parsers, exact nonempty suite membership, source/freshness/report/cleanup contracts and the necessary isolated runtime capabilities. A wrapper returning0 or `configured:true` is insufficient. Existing canaries deliberately deny worker network access; provider/browser/Docker permissions need explicit isolated qualification, not a silent bypass or use of production services. Existing application results satisfy preparation; they do not install this runtime adapter.
+2. **AUTO-SCOPE-01 / P10-ENTRY-01 — signed final baseline and bounded policy.** Installed baseline remains5032ccb, execution disabled, checkpoint deferrableGates empty, and P10-00 has no after-checkpoint candidate-scope approval. After adapter qualification, the operator must prepare/review the exact manifest adopting the proposed published candidate, retaining stage order and security limits, and adding the protected P10-00 stop before P10-01. Existing source-authorised debt must be explicitly scoped if any conditional checkpoint is to advance; do not add blanket deferrals. Submit that exact manifest through `configure`/`approve`/`configure`, then the exact protected environment, roadmap and Phase10 entry requests. This chat's approval is not a signature for those requests.
+3. **AUTO-RUNTIME-01 — owner-controlled activation.** Read-only public observation at07:36UTC (08:36Paris) found the owner key configured and public certificate pin matching; auth file present; real-key negative probe PASS, binding matching, all canaries PASS; no recovery required; all stages PENDING. Qualification issued29October17:33UTC and expires30October17:33UTC (18:33Paris). Actual auth session validity was not tested and no credential content read. Policy is still `operator-controlled` and queue disabled. The operator must check `auth-status`, refresh qualification only if expired/changed, then deliberately enable the qualified runtime and complete protected policy/entry approvals. No key recreation, repeated canary run while still valid, second account or VM is presently indicated. Start independently rechecks these conditions.
+
+The read-only observation is indexed as `final-entry-controller-status`; it is dated evidence, not a permanent runtime readiness claim. It supersedes older assertions that no actual owner key/auth file/real-key qualification existed. We did not execute a controller command, write its state, inspect auth contents, sign, enable a queue or mutate its worktree.
+
+## Debt retained, not passed or universally blocking P10-00
+
+| Item | Permitted scope and retained condition |
+|---|---|
+| HUMAN-01 | Owner's PDF/UI appearance approval recorded. Physical printing/device/AT/contrast and proficient EN/Bokmål checks remain NOT TESTED. Phase9 request246–252/426–439 permits genuine unfinished human checks as release debt; affected future candidates still need preservation/disposition. |
+| AI-CV-01 | Real compatibility/accuracy BLOCKED; optional adapter stays disabled. CV-import acceptance permits model-independent conditional development, not activation or near100% claims. |
+| DET-RECALL-01 / AI-CONTEXT-01 | Existing deterministic recall/review burden and canonical-to-generic-AI context gap remain limited. Preserve source review, unknowns and old text/run behavior; not permission to delete those paths. |
+| PYSEC-01 | Existing scoped Python CONDITIONAL disposition persists, including incomplete vendor Torch404 advisory coverage. No security-risk waiver; changing affected processing/security paths needs its own qualification. |
+| CI-01 | Hosted isolation/CI remains BLOCKED; existing local provider evidence remains distinct. Source CI-M01 permits operator-blocked hosted evidence while local qualification continues. If an adopted adapter requires hosted CI, it becomes mandatory for that checkpoint. |
+| MYSQL-TLS-01 / OPS-01 / NATIVE-SEC-01 | Production TLS/advisories, filesystem/off-disk backup/restore, deployed/native-image/operator evidence stay unqualified. They do not justify changes or production operations during assessment-only P10-00. |
+| FUTURE-01 | Later product/provider/model/translation/site/security/release initiatives retain their own gates and are outside this scope. |
+
+Five conditional-development requests remain REQUESTED_NOT_GRANTED_OR_EXECUTABLE in the proposal, with individual source authority; no executable controller deferral is silently created by willingness to defer. Physical printing remains NOT TESTED. Human/device aggregate remains NOT TESTED. Hosted CI and CV AI remain BLOCKED. Production remains NO-GO.
+
+## Protected request and smallest next actions
+
+See [PROTECTED_ENTRY_REQUEST.md](PROTECTED_ENTRY_REQUEST.md). It is an unsigned decision brief, not a protected controller request. A genuine request cannot yet be eligible while the adapter is unconfigured and old policy is installed. The controller must create its own request with actual policy/manifest/baseline/checkpoint/artifact hashes; the owner alone reviews/signs in a real terminal. No approval JSON, signature, activation or automatic Phase10 execution is fabricated here.

+# Owner decision brief — NOT a protected request or signature
+
+**Current recommendation: NO-GO for starting the autonomous orchestrator.** App/PDF preparation is conditionally closed; resolve the three control-plane items in FINAL_DEVELOPMENT_ENTRY.md. Do not run start/resume against the old5032ccb policy or enable a placeholder adapter.
+
+Proposed decision text for the owner's later review (not a decision made by this file):
+
+> Adopt the exact clean published candidate named by ENTRY_PROPOSAL.json and independently resolved final evidence-envelope HEAD, together with its source/evidence/manifest/prompt hashes. Permit PHASE-10/P10-00 baseline and deletion-eligibility assessment only, with no product edits or removals. Preserve all57 contracts/34 routes, canonical Career Profile, historical CV/letter revisions, import review/legacy readers and RD21/provider protections. Stop after P10-00; require protected candidate-specific-cleanup-scope approval before P10-01. Keep optional CV AI disabled, production NO-GO, and the five source-scoped debt requests separately identified. Do not silently enable conditional advancement, later initiative implementation, main merge or deployment.
+
+No exact unused deletion candidate is asserted. P10-00 must produce the proof or report none. Actual scope approval must name the subsequent candidate, affected callers/routes/old data, rollback and tests; this brief cannot supply that missing proof.
+
+The platform/controller maintainer first supplies a **qualified composite test adapter and owner-prepared manifest** for this exact scope. It must retain the seven stage IDs/order, add the protected stop after P10-00, and use qualified report membership/runtime permissions. Only then use the existing operator terminal flow from the installed SINGLE_USER.md:
+
+```powershell
+. "$HOME\.jobjakt-backlog\single-user-local\Use-JobjaktBacklog.ps1"
+Jobjakt auth-status
+Jobjakt status
+Jobjakt dry-run
+```
+
+If authentication is unavailable, use `Jobjakt auth` yourself. If qualification expired or binding changed, use `Jobjakt qualify`; the observation on30October was already real-key PASS and matching until17:33UTC/18:33Paris, so do not recreate the key or repeat valid qualification just to increase evidence.
+
+After reviewing the qualified adapter and runtime evidence, the operator may deliberately select `Jobjakt enable-unattended`; this requires typed confirmation and **does not itself approve Phase10 or enable the roadmap**. For the actual reviewed, schema-valid manifest file, use:
+
+```powershell
+# Replace with the actual maintainer-qualified manifest path; none is supplied as executable policy here.
+Jobjakt configure -Manifest '<actual-reviewed-qualified-manifest.json>'
+Jobjakt approve
+Jobjakt configure -Manifest '<same-exact-reviewed-qualified-manifest.json>'
+```
+
+The first configure creates a protected `manifest-policy-update` request and stops. `approve` shows its exact payload, requires a random typed challenge, Approve/Revise/Reject and concrete decision text, then uses the real owner key. The second configure adopts only the signed exact manifest. Changed policy/evidence requires a new request; do not replay an old signature.
+
+**Stop at this gate.** Environment-qualified, roadmap-execution and phase10-development-entry remain independent protected requests. Only after the controller's actual eligibility checks pass and the owner signs each requested exact scope should the owner deliberately invoke start/resume. There is no safe generic “approve everything” command or activation granted by this brief. No controller command in this guide was executed by this task.
