# Governing Constitution index

**Current Brain:** v1.3-RC — APPROVED PLANNING BASELINE / Official Book v1.0-RC REVIEW_PENDING; prior baselines preserved  
**Current authority:** Owner Planning Disposition §§1–16 (S07); see [Source Index](14_SOURCE_INDEX.md). Eight artifacts adopted PASS WITH CONDITIONS; only Book documentary authoring/reconciliation/export/backup authorized, then STOP. No AI activation or product authority.

Owner decisions → Official Master Project Book faithfully consolidating the canonical sources. This does not amend the contained Constitution's rules. Material unreconciled changes mean BOOK_STALE / dependent execution STOP.

## Constitution

**[STUDIO 333 PROJECT CONSTITUTION v1.0 — RATIFIED](../../reports/STUDIO-333-Project-Constitution-v1.0-Ratified.md)** is restored byte-identically from the verified Owner pack. It governs documentary authority beneath explicit current Owner decisions. No replacement Constitution is authored or ratified here.

SHA256: `512f6f1ba4d088626d0845d38b1a28d270ca2cddafffe0ea06059c1db368c65b`.

**[Technical Direction v1.0 — RATIFIED](../../reports/STUDIO-333-Technical-Direction-v1.0-Ratified.md)** supplies product/architectural direction beneath the Constitution. **[Architecture v0.2](../../reports/STUDIO-333-Master-Product-System-Architecture-v0.2-Reconciled-Candidate.md)** remains RECONCILED CANDIDATE — NOT FROZEN.

The source texts contain issuance/ratification records; separately referenced original Owner instructions and review/base documents are still absent. Restoration preserves their existing authority, not new ratification.

## Authority order

1. Explicit current Owner decisions.
2. Project Constitution v1.0 — RATIFIED.
3. Technical Direction v1.0 — RATIFIED.
4. Ratified/reconciled Master Planning Artifacts, retaining their individual status.
5. Approved Phase specifications.
6. Approved Parent Units.
7. Approved Child Units.
8. Authorized Execution Cuts.
9. Temporary implementation notes.

Candidate existence does not make a source ratified. Derived JSON, HTML, backup manifests and this recovery book never outrank governing authority.

## Connection to subordinate artifacts

| Artifact | Role | Current authority |
|---|---|---|
| 01 Master Project Book | Canonical consolidated human/AI representation | v1.0 RATIFIED; source/Book fidelity mandatory |
| 02 Master Roadmap | Approved planning ordering/dependencies | PASS WITH CONDITIONS; no execution grant |
| 03 Hierarchy | Complete framework-neutral phase/parent/child contracts | Approved planning, not activated |
| 04 Manual | Enforces current Owner's execution boundary | No independent delegation |
| 05 Ledger | Records authority and actual evidence | Cannot create acceptance |
| 06 Current State | Operational location and STOP | Subordinate summary |
| 07–14 Registers | Decisions, risks, validation, sources | Claim-level provenance required |
| 15 Handoff | Read-only reconstruction protocol | No Governor appointment |
| 16–20 specifications / Owner queue | Adopted downstream planning contracts / staged reserved decisions | PASS WITH CONDITIONS; exact open conditions remain |
| state.json / roadmap.json / Control Room | Derived mirrors | Canonical Markdown wins on disagreement |

**Current boundary:** Conditional Phase 0 window and later Owner continuation govern eligible cuts. Exact local H1 preparation has 45 author checks; H1 published proof remains BLOCKED, not accepted. No architecture freeze, phase activation or production authority is inferred. Original governing clauses remain unchanged.

**Historical planning-cut STOP:** Return master planning candidates for Owner + independent Governor review. Its no-H1/dependency-installation boundary described that earlier cut, not the later explicit local-preparation permission.

Constitution XVIII.2, Technical Direction J and Architecture §0/§23 record their original cut boundaries. The current explicit Owner instruction separately authorizes this documentary reconciliation only, superseding those historical cut-specific stops to that extent under Constitution IV.3. Substantive rules and original bytes remain unchanged.
