Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table

Establish trusted historical ownership provenance for the Sponsor CRM table

Status: done — bounded research accepted; route A is rejected as insufficient and route B is independently owned by #143
Tags: bug, research, infra, data, P1
Depends on: None
Blocks: None — #143 independently blocks #136; #141 remains open/nonblocking and must not be recollected
Next owner: None for #140; the downstream HUMAN AWS Support/remediation owner remains exclusively under #143
Resume condition: Closed. Reconsider route A only through a fresh Architecture and Security review if a newly identified authoritative immutable source explicitly binds the exact historical pair

Lifecycle verification

This bounded research lifecycle is complete. Architecture and Security selected route B, Tester independently verified all ten checked criteria against the public sanitized record without AWS or private-evidence access, and Product Manager accepted the operator outcome after Tester PASS.

#143 owns remediation execution and remains independently blocked on its documented HUMAN Support signal. It is out of scope for #140 and did not need to complete before this research issue closed. #136 remains blocked by #143 and its separate protected-environment gate; closing #140 removes only the completed research-lifecycle gate.

Final research decision

The bounded, hashed #141 investigation found exactly one historical Sponsor CRM table-creation event. That event contains a historical DynamoDB table identifier but does not contain or cryptographically link the exact CloudFormation stack identifier. Authenticated deployment provenance establishes the relevant stack incarnation and logical resource but does not contain the table identifier. No trustworthy artifact binds both exact identifiers.

Architecture and Security therefore classify the historical ownership evidence as insufficient, not conflicting and not unavailable. Matching name/ARN, current logical mapping, current schema/configuration, remaining tags, sequence, and the current table identifier are corroboration only.

Route A is rejected. Route B is selected and fully groomed in #143. #140 has no open evidence or execution dependency and its bounded research lifecycle is accepted. #143 independently owns route-B remediation and blocks #136. #141 remains open only for honest HUMAN session-expiry/revocation and authentic provenance cleanup; it blocks neither #140 nor #143, must not recollect the same evidence, and does not block this route decision.

If AWS Support later supplies an authoritative immutable record that explicitly binds the exact historical pair, route A may be reconsidered only through a fresh Architecture and Security review. It does not reactivate automatically.

Evidence reviewed

Migrate Sponsor CRM GSIs in a protected stage-only workflow #136 read-only discovery of the missing canonical ownership marker and the original deployment/migration block.
Authenticated repository/deployment provenance for the relevant stack incarnation and logical resource.
Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 fixed-window CloudTrail Event History collection, byte-exact private artifacts, public sanitized counts/digests, and four-state classification.
#141 Architecture decision.
#141 Security decision.
#140 Architecture route decision.
#140 Security route decision.

Raw events, resource/account/principal identifiers, private storage locations, support correspondence, and operational evidence remain outside this public repository. Public evidence is sanitized only.

Why route A is rejected

A one-time tagless exception required authoritative pre-incident evidence explicitly binding:

the exact current CloudFormation stack incarnation; and
the exact current DynamoDB table incarnation.

The available source classes split those identifiers across unlinked records. Temporal sequence, matching names, name-derived identifiers, current resource reads, configuration similarity, or absence of observed later mutations cannot create the missing authenticated link. The negative mutation history is useful corroboration but does not prove completeness outside the bounded Event History source.

Any mismatch, ambiguity, incomplete identifier, mutable artifact, unverifiable provenance, or late/current-only evidence fails closed. No code-only bypass is safe.

Selected route B

#143 owns the design and approval path for AWS-supported CloudFormation ownership reconciliation. It requires:

AWS Support guidance and private read-only diagnosis;
a verified backup/export and retained recovery boundary;
an isolated non-production restore and ownership rehearsal;
deterministic full key/item integrity plus exact schema/configuration checks;
explicit import/replacement/Retain/UpdateReplacePolicy/named-table analysis;
downtime, write consistency, load, cost, rollback, cleanup, and hard abort criteria;
explicit HUMAN approval for each later mutation; and
fresh Architecture, Security, Tester, PM, HUMAN, and On-Call gates.

No production repair is performed under #140. Reaching a route decision does not authorize any action in #143.

No-mutation boundary

Do not under #140:

change application, guard, migrator, workflow, IAM, SAM, infrastructure, environment, or provider configuration;
create, update, delete, restore, import, replace, or retag the table;
manually create reserved aws: tags;
create, execute, or delete CloudFormation change sets;
dispatch/rerun migrations or deployments, enable flags, seed/smoke production, or touch retained queues;
recollect Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 without a newly identified authoritative exact-pair source and fresh scope; or
publish private operational evidence or identifiers.

The normal deployment and Sponsor GSI migration remain prohibited until #143 completes and ownership is independently re-proved.

Acceptance criteria

Test scenarios

Current or split evidence only

Given the stack and table identifiers appear only in separate unlinked sources
When historical ownership sufficiency is assessed
Then route A remains rejected and #143 is the only selected path.

Negative mutation history

Given the bounded source contains no target delete, restore, recreate, or ownership-tag mutation
When it is reviewed
Then it remains corroboration and cannot substitute for the missing exact historical binding.

Support later supplies the exact pair

Given AWS Support later returns authenticated exact-pair provenance
When #143 receives it privately
Then work stops for a fresh #140 Architecture/Security review; route A is not inferred or auto-approved.

#141 procedural closure remains incomplete

Given session expiry/revocation or authentic retrieval provenance is still pending
When route selection is reviewed
Then #141 remains open for HUMAN cleanup but does not trigger recollection and no longer blocks #140's substantive decision.

OIDC boundary remains separate from ownership

The #145/#136 migration uses the existing exact main-branch OIDC trust with no GitHub Actions environment. That identity choice does not establish table ownership and cannot unblock migration by itself. #140 does not alter OIDC, workflow, or ownership state.

Out of scope

A generic or one-time tagless exception implementation.
Treating current live identity or same-name continuity as historical provenance.
Executing Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 remediation.
Manual reserved-tag repair.
Migration, deployment, environment configuration, feature enablement, production data mutation, or retained-resource cleanup.

PM GROOMED — trusted historical binding or no exception

Selected the Security decision as the product requirement. Current StackId/logical/physical mapping, name-derived ARN, schema, remaining tags, drift, and a newly observed TableId are corroboration only; they cannot authorize a tagless path.

#140 is read-only-first. It inventories authenticated pre-incident sources and asks Architecture/Security to decide whether any immutable artifact explicitly binds the exact current StackId to the exact current TableId. If yes, the output is a separately groomed, one-table/one-migration exception issue with strict pinning and removal—not an exception implemented here. If no, the output is a separately reviewed, backed-up HUMAN/AWS ownership-remediation issue. Either way, #136 remains blocked until the selected follow-up actually passes its own gates.

The missing dataops-v1-production environment remains a separate #136 HUMAN gate. Creating it neither proves ownership nor authorizes migration. No code, AWS, environment, workflow, or data mutation is authorized by this grooming.

ARCHITECTURE DECISION — ROUTE A BLOCK; CURRENT EVIDENCE REQUIRES ROUTE B

I independently reviewed the complete retained #141 CloudTrail evidence set and compared its binding semantics with the already-reviewed GitHub deployment provenance. I made no AWS call, repository edit, workflow action, or mutation, and this review discloses no raw identifier or private location.

The sources prove complementary but unlinked facts:

the one exact Sponsor CreateTable event is an authenticated pre-incident CloudTrail record and explicitly contains the historical DynamoDB TableId;
that event contains no exact CloudFormation StackId, canonical stack-ID tag, CloudFormation stack ARN/path, or other cryptographic link to the stack incarnation;
the reviewed GitHub provenance establishes the exact stack deployment/incarnation but contains no historical DynamoDB TableId;
timing, same deployment window, CloudFormation service-agent context, table name/ARN/schema, and matching creation sequence cannot bridge that split under Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140's evidence standard.

The complete bounded mutation inventory also finds no Sponsor delete, restore, recreate, tag, untag, backup, or update event. That is useful corroboration and shows no conflict in the retained Event History window, but absence of those events does not create the missing exact StackId↔TableId link.

Accordingly, no safe route A remains from the #141 evidence plus the already-reviewed GitHub provenance. Pinning the two values from separate records would be an inference expressly prohibited by #140, not an attested pair. The correct classification is insufficient, not candidate exact binding and not conflict.

#141's evidence-content review passed Architecture, but #141 itself still has procedural closure gates: the pre-collection read-only STS identity check must be recorded as a deviation from the literal single-API inventory; the separate phone sandbox role's least-privilege policy and authoritative duration/expiry are not independently proved; explicit retrieval-time/session provenance is absent from the manifest; and revocation/expiry confirmation remains HUMAN. Those gaps do not turn the split records into a binding, but #141 must resolve them before dependency closure.

ARCHITECTURE VERDICT: BLOCK route A and any tagless exception; select route B after #141 procedural completion and independent Security agreement. The next process artifact must be the separately groomed, backed-up HUMAN/AWS ownership-remediation issue required by #140. #136 remains blocked; no migration, normal deployment, import, replacement, retagging, or other production mutation is authorized by this decision.

SECURITY BLOCK — route A is not proved; route B is required

I independently reviewed the complete private #141 CloudTrail bundle without making an AWS call.

The retained CreateTable management event is authentic-looking, complete, and consistently selected; it contains the historical DynamoDB TableId and shows CloudFormation invocation. But it contains no exact CloudFormation StackId, and its request contains none of the CloudFormation ownership tags. The complete bounded Sponsor history has no later tag/delete/restore/recreate event that supplies the missing link. The evidence therefore binds a TableId to a table creation, name/ARN, time, and CloudFormation service invocation—not to the exact current StackId.

Threat model: the CloudFormation service/role and a deployment time can be shared by multiple stack operations, retries, replacements, or stack incarnations. Names and DynamoDB ARNs are name-derived. Even exact equality between the historical and present TableId would prove table continuity only; it would not create the absent immutable StackId↔TableId edge. Temporal correlation with CI or stack events is not cryptographic or explicit ownership provenance. Accepting it would silently turn the one-time exception into a generic tagless inference policy.

Security classification:

candidate exact binding: no
conflict: no trusted conflicting exact pair found
unavailable: no for this bounded Event History source
insufficient: yes

Route A is rejected. Do not change the #136 guard, retag the table, migrate GSIs, deploy, or infer ownership from the current mapping.

The safest next action is route B: the orchestrator/PM should file and fully groom the separate backed-up HUMAN/AWS ownership-remediation issue already required by #140. It must obtain AWS Support guidance, establish verified backup/export and isolated restore rehearsal, define CloudFormation import/replacement/retention handling, integrity and rollback/abort criteria, and require explicit HUMAN approval plus fresh Architecture, Security, Tester, PM, and On-Call gates before any production mutation.

Do not broaden read access for speculative Config/backup fishing unless an already-retained immutable source is known to explicitly contain both exact identifiers. Name-linked Config records or backup metadata that contains only the TableId would remain corroboration. If AWS Support instead provides a written authoritative exact-pair confirmation before remediation, return that new evidence for a fresh independent route-A review; it is not assumed here.

#140 and #136 remain blocked until the separately groomed route-B issue completes its required gates. The separate dataops-v1-production environment HUMAN gate also remains unchanged.

PM reconciliation complete. The Architecture/Security verdict is now the operative decision: historical ownership evidence is insufficient, route A is rejected, and route B in #143 is selected. #140 now depends on #143 rather than #141. #141 remains open only for honest HUMAN session/provenance closure, does not block the substantive route, and must not be recollected merely to repair metadata.

PM lifecycle reconciliation — research output awaits required Tester/PM gates

The route-A research decision and Architecture/Security classification remain intact, but specialist verdicts do not replace the mandatory lifecycle. #140 no longer waits for out-of-scope #143 execution: it has no open evidence dependency, now awaits bounded Tester verification of the public sanitized record, and then PM final acceptance. #143 remains the independent downstream remediation blocker for #136. Removed the premature human label and did not close #140 or mark any new criterion complete. No AWS call, private-evidence inspection, recollection, or mutation occurred.

TEST BLOCK — bounded public/sanitized research-output verification

I independently verified #140 without calling AWS, recollecting CloudTrail, opening private evidence, inspecting raw identifiers, changing repository files, or inferring missing provenance. Architecture/Security specialist verdicts were treated as evidence, not as a substitute for this Tester gate.

Blocking finding

The substantive research decision passes, but the current public dependency/owner record is internally contradictory, so acceptance criterion 10 is not yet precise enough for PM acceptance:

The Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 header and lifecycle section correctly say Depends on: None, current owner Tester → PM, and Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 is downstream execution that does not need to complete before Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 closes.
The same current Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 body later says “Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 now depends on Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143, not Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141.”
Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 currently says Blocks: None but its explanatory text also says Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 “now depends on Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143.”
A historical Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 Architecture comment says Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 remains blocked on Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143, while the current Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 body and latest PM reconciliation correctly route Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 directly to blocking Migrate Sponsor CRM GSIs in a protected stage-only workflow #136.
The checked Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 criterion says “The next owner” is the HUMAN on Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143, while the current immediate owner is Tester followed by PM. The HUMAN is the downstream route-B owner, not Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 current lifecycle owner.

These statements cannot all define one dependency graph. They do not authorize execution, but they make the public handoff ambiguous and fail the checked requirement that owner/action routing be precise.

Required reconciliation before retest:

In Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140, replace the stale “Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 now depends on Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143” sentence with the current truth: Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 has no open evidence/execution dependency; after Tester PASS and PM acceptance, Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 independently owns route-B execution and blocks Migrate Sponsor CRM GSIs in a protected stage-only workflow #136.
Amend criterion 10 to distinguish the immediate Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 lifecycle owner (Tester, then PM) from the downstream Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 HUMAN owner.
Reconcile Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 current Blocks explanatory text so it says Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 blocks neither Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 nor Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143; Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 separately blocks Migrate Sponsor CRM GSIs in a protected stage-only workflow #136. Historical comments may remain as history, but the current bodies/latest reconciliation must unambiguously supersede them.

Acceptance criteria, in issue order

PASS — Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 publicly inventories fixed source classes, access/retention limits, query bounds, pagination, counts, byte sizes, and sanitized SHA-256 metadata.
PASS at authorized public scope — the public inventory explicitly records LookupEvents plus the precollection read-only sts:GetCallerIdentity deviation and claims zero mutation; the unresolved authentic session/provenance gates remain honestly open in Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141. I did not inspect private evidence or infer closure.
PASS at authorized public scope — public Architecture/Security records classify the candidate source classes under the four-state standard.
PASS — current mapping, name/ARN/schema, current TableId, timing, and negative bounded history are explicitly rejected as historical exact-pair proof.
PASS — Architecture and Security independently classify the result insufficient, not conflict/unavailable/exact binding, and reject route A.
PASS — repository-wide issue search found only Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 and Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 mentioning tagless/one-time-exception handling; Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 explicitly prohibits that implementation. No exception implementation issue was found or authorized.
PASS — Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 is separately groomed with Support, private baseline, backup/recovery, isolated rehearsal, deterministic integrity, supported CloudFormation-path selection, rollback/abort, cost/downtime, per-phase HUMAN approval, and fresh lifecycle gates. Its criteria remain unchecked and no execution is claimed.
PASS — Migrate Sponsor CRM GSIs in a protected stage-only workflow #136 is open/blocked and explicitly depends on Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 Tester/PM completion plus accepted Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 remediation; migration/deployment remain prohibited.
PASS — the high-risk public identifier scan found no AWS ARN/account ID, access-key-shaped token, S3/private filesystem path, or UUID-shaped raw identifier in Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 body/comments. The only public URLs are four GitHub issue-comment links. Counts, UTC bounds, modes, and digests are allowed sanitized metadata.
BLOCK — route-B execution correctly stays in Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 and Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 is nonblocking, but the conflicting dependency and “next owner” statements above make the current public routing imprecise.

No code/UI changed, so build, infrastructure mutation, browser tests, and screenshots are not applicable to this bounded research-output gate.

Retest only after the public routing text is reconciled. Route A remains rejected, #136 remains blocked, #141 must not be recollected, and no #143 action is authorized by this verdict.

PM correction — TEST BLOCK routing ambiguity resolved

Reconciled the current body to one graph: #140 has Depends on: None and awaits bounded Tester verification, then PM final acceptance. After acceptance, #143 independently owns route-B remediation and blocks #136; #141 blocks neither issue. Replaced the stale dependency sentence and amended criterion 10 to distinguish the immediate #140 lifecycle owner from #143’s downstream HUMAN Support owner. Criterion 10 is left unchecked pending Tester retest. No AWS call, private-evidence access, recollection, repository change, or external action occurred.

TEST PASS — corrected bounded public/sanitized research output

I independently re-tested #140 after the #140 PM correction and #141 correction. I made no AWS call, recollected no CloudTrail evidence, opened no private artifact, inferred no missing provenance, and changed no repository file.

The prior routing block is resolved:

Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 now consistently has no open evidence/execution dependency and routes its immediate lifecycle Tester → PM.
Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 explicitly blocks neither Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 nor Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143; its HUMAN session/provenance cleanup remains open without recollection.
After Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 acceptance, Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 independently owns route-B Support/remediation work and directly blocks Migrate Sponsor CRM GSIs in a protected stage-only workflow #136.
Migrate Sponsor CRM GSIs in a protected stage-only workflow #136 remains blocked on both Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 Tester/PM completion and accepted Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 remediation.
Historical comments remain historical; the corrected current bodies and latest PM comments unambiguously supersede the stale dependency wording.

Acceptance criteria

PASS — Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 publicly inventories the fixed source classes, retention/access limits, query bounds, pagination, counts, byte sizes, and sanitized digests.
PASS at authorized public scope — the public inventory records LookupEvents plus the precollection read-only sts:GetCallerIdentity deviation and zero mutation; unresolved authentic session/provenance gates remain open.
PASS at authorized public scope — public Architecture/Security records classify each candidate source class under the four-state standard.
PASS — current mapping/name/ARN/schema/TableId, timing, and negative bounded history are rejected as historical exact-pair proof.
PASS — Architecture and Security independently classify the evidence insufficient and reject route A.
PASS — the repository-wide issue search found only Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 and Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 mentioning tagless/one-time-exception handling; Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 prohibits such an implementation. No exception issue is authorized.
PASS — Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 is separately groomed with Support, backup/recovery, isolated rehearsal, deterministic integrity, supported CloudFormation-path selection, rollback/abort, cost/downtime, per-phase HUMAN approval, and fresh lifecycle gates. All execution criteria remain unchecked.
PASS — Migrate Sponsor CRM GSIs in a protected stage-only workflow #136 remains open/blocked and continues to prohibit migration/deployment.
PASS — the public Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 body/comment scan found no AWS ARN/account ID, access-key-shaped token, S3/private filesystem path, or UUID-shaped raw identifier. All observed public URLs use github.com.
PASS — immediate Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 ownership is Tester then PM; downstream execution stays under the independent Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 HUMAN owner without treating grooming as mutation authorization.

Following _docs/PROCESS.md, I changed only criterion 10 from [ ] to [x] after verification. #140 now has 10 checked criteria and no unchecked criteria. No status, label, dependency, or other body content was changed.

No code/UI changed, so build, infrastructure mutation, browser tests, and screenshots are not applicable to this bounded research-output gate.

READY FOR PM FINAL ACCEPTANCE. This PASS does not authorize AWS Support contact, #143 execution, migration, deployment, ownership mutation, or #141 recollection.

PM FINAL ACCEPTANCE — ACCEPT

The bounded research outcome is accepted from the operator/safety perspective after Tester PASS.

Fail-closed decision: the historical DynamoDB table identifier and exact CloudFormation stack incarnation remain split across unlinked authenticated sources. Current mapping, name/ARN/schema, timing, and bounded negative mutation history are corroboration only. Architecture and Security independently classify the result as insufficient; route A and any tagless exception remain rejected.
Independent route-B ownership: Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 alone owns AWS Support guidance, private diagnostics, recovery/rehearsal design, fresh reviews, and any later explicitly approved action. Its criteria remain open. Closing Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 does not contact Support, approve its design, or authorize any AWS/repository/workflow/deployment/data mutation.
Dependency safety: Close out the retained CloudTrail audit session record #141 remains open for authentic session/provenance/expiry closure, blocks neither Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 nor Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143, and must not be recollected to repair missing metadata. Migrate Sponsor CRM GSIs in a protected stage-only workflow #136 remains open and blocked by accepted Reconcile Sponsor CRM table ownership with CloudFormation #143 remediation plus its separate protected-environment and migration gates.
Boundary: raw evidence, identifiers, private locations, and Support material remain private. Independent public-text review found no AWS ARN/account ID, access-key-shaped value, S3/private filesystem path, or UUID-shaped raw identifier; public URLs resolve only to github.com.
Lifecycle: all 10/10 Reconcile missing CloudFormation ownership provenance for Sponsor CRM table #140 acceptance criteria are checked. Tester used only public/sanitized evidence and made no AWS call or private-evidence inspection. No code/UI changed, so build, browser, deployment, and On-Call execution are not applicable to this bounded research closure.

PM accepts #140 as fully complete. Status/dependencies/Blocks are reconciled to done / none / none. Close #140 only; do not close #141 or #143, advance #136, or infer any mutation authority.
