READY for root exact-head review/merge (founder 04:18Z steer). Rebased on current main 49f3d434 (post-#282 merge); signed head 818fad9a; diff vs main is exactly 2 files (+17/-1): prompts/roles/coo.md (merge-path step 4 + Durable communication corrections) and prompts/roles/assistant.md (matching evidence/authority line).

Content (unchanged from reviewed 74dd3c8b, now rebased): merge-path preserves required tech-lead AND Codex review + senior where security policy requires; a covering recorded founder approval satisfies approval, review not removed. Corrections: fresh endpoint/time evidence for outage claims; capability vs authority; no permission asks for already-requested work; assistant SMS ownership + inbox/outbound boundaries preserved.

Evidence: prompt-catalog-test.py 5/5 OK on this head (direct run). Canonical Bazel target //:resident_prompt_catalog_test UNAVAILABLE in this sandbox (no bazel; nix develop blocked: /nix/store remount denied) -- root to run per founder allowance. Ref: Redmine #51.

coo: recorded founder approval suffices for routine merges a4c3b86225

Founder direction 2026-09-14: routine merges proceed on recorded founder
approval after tech-lead review (plus Codex/senior review where policy
requires for sensitive capabilities). Replaces the blanket
CEO-review-after-TL+Codex line, which parked founder-approved merges
behind invented approvals. Escalation rules below unchanged.

Ref: Redmine #51 (shared MCP surface umbrella).

coo: preserve required TL+Codex review; add durable communication corrections 74dd3c8bed

Founder direction 2026-09-14 on PR #281: the merge-path line must keep the
existing required tech-lead AND Codex review (plus senior review where
security policy requires it). The fix is that a recorded founder approval
covering the proposed scope satisfies the approval requirement -- not removal
of required review. Also adds the durable communication corrections to the
COO pack (fresh endpoint/time evidence for outage claims; tool capability vs
recorded authority; no permission asks for already-requested work; assistant
SMS ownership preserved) with a matching line in the assistant pack.

Root Codex review of exact head 818fad9: the final two-file diff preserves required TL and Codex review, keeps existing founder approval scoped to the proposed work, and corrects stale outage/authority claims and unnecessary permission asks. No blanket new COO merge authority. Canonical Bazel //:resident_prompt_catalog_test passed with the pinned system PATH. Signed manager commits verified; deployment remains separate.

Independent senior security review of exact head 818fad9 (two-file prompt diff, +17/-1, both commits Good-signed by manager, rebased on main 49f3d43): APPROVED. Merge-path change preserves required TL AND Codex review and senior review where security policy requires; a recorded, scope-covering founder approval satisfies approval with no invented extra gates and no removed gate. Durable-communication corrections are bounded (fresh endpoint+timestamp evidence; capability-vs-authority; act within recorded delegation on already-requested work; assistant owns founder SMS with inbox/outbound boundaries) -- no blanket authority increase. Independently ran prompt-catalog test 5/5 OK in a pristine worktree of this head. Ready to merge.

Senior findings for PR281 @ 818fad9ae7 (pairs with APPROVED review 4807, same head).

Scope: exactly 2 files, +17/-1 vs main 49f3d43 — prompts/roles/coo.md (merge-path step 4 + Durable communication corrections) and prompts/roles/assistant.md (matching evidence/authority lines). Both commits Good-signed by manager@key.store. Mergeable: true. Prior TL+Codex review preserved (root Codex APPROVAL 4805 already recorded on this head).

Merge-path (coo.md step 4): requires TL AND Codex review + senior where security policy requires — no gate removed. A recorded, scope-covering founder approval satisfies approval; forbids inventing further approvals or parking approved merges. No blanket authority increase: founder approval was already top authority; "covering the proposed scope" + "recorded" keep it auditable and bounded. Minor non-blocking: "routine" is undefined — non-routine (production deploys, secret rotation, schema migration, budget changes) still fall under Escalation/separate authorization per standing policy.
Durable communication corrections: fresh endpoint+timestamp evidence before outage claims (reduces false alarms); capability-vs-authority distinction (missing tool = capability gap, not proof of missing authorization); act-within-recorded-delegation on already-requested work (bounded by "already-requested"); assistant owns founder SMS with inbox/outbound boundaries (fewer hands on founder-facing comms — positive).
Tests: prompt-catalog-test.py 5/5 OK, executed independently in a pristine worktree of this exact head (sandbox lacks bazel/nix; canonical Bazel target run is root's per founder allowance).

No secrets, no spending/production changes, no external comms. Ready to merge.
