Outcome

Decision: flip
Decided by: deluongo
Decided date: 2026-08-21
Authority: public exposure is an operator forever-ask (CONSTITUTION.md, Decision rights; STANDING_AUTHORIZATIONS.md) — exercised here
Rationale: The condition set in 2026-08-20-public-timing was satisfied and re-verified minutes before the flip: a full-history secret scan (credential shapes + base64 blobs) and a full-history private-context sweep, both clean across all 8 commits, with zero keys existing anywhere in the project by design until the M2 key-hardening review. The operator confirmed the zero-key state and ruled. Executed immediately: repository public, GitHub Pages site created and serving, m1 tag laid on the verified commit per 2026-08-21-m1-verification.

operator's ruling in-session, quoted verbatim in the body; participation class: direct operator ruling (see the M0 interpretive rule) — no model lanes; the decision this executes was deliberated in the cited records

Context

2026-08-20-public-timing decided the repository goes public at M1, on the operator's button, after a clean full-history secret scan. 2026-08-21-m1-verification verified M1's build criteria and ruled that the m1 tag lands at this flip. This record documents the button press — the ruling itself, its condition check, and what executed.

Position: operator

Quoted verbatim (2026-08-21, in-session):

Sure. You can flip public. We still have no keys in this repo correct?

The question in the ruling was answered in the affirmative with evidence before execution: no keys have ever existed in the repository or its history — the M0–M1 design is keyless (subscription CLIs and local models only), the single metered lane stays disabled until the operator approves docs/KEY-HANDLING.md at M2, and the pre-flip full-history scans came back clean.

Execution log (same session, PT)

  1. Full-history credential-shape scan + private-context denylist sweep re-run over all 8 commits: clean.
  2. Repository visibility flipped to public.
  3. GitHub Pages site created (build_type: workflow; the workflow's own token could not create the site — one manual API call, then the workflow deployed cleanly).
  4. Site live and verified serving the archive with commit stamps.
  5. m1 tag laid on the verified commit (dd793bd) citing 2026-08-21-m1-verification.
  6. Branch protection enabled on main: force pushes and deletions blocked (the constitution's third append-only enforcement layer).
