# Autonomous Operation Policy V1

## Operational Contract

Each product ends in exactly one state:

- `COMPLETE`
- `CORRECTED`
- `BLOCKED_MISSING_EVIDENCE`
- `BLOCKED_CONFLICT`
- `BLOCKED_COMPANY_CONTEXT`
- `BLOCKED_SCHEMA`
- `FAILED_TECHNICAL`

`COMPLETE` and `CORRECTED` products continue normally. Blocked products never
receive uncertain writes. `FAILED_TECHNICAL` is retried by the job system and
does not stop processing of other products.

## Partial Processing

The Agent processes every product independently and reports per-product state
counts. Safe blocked products do not stop processing, heartbeat, new jobs, or
reconnection. `AGENT_HEALTH=HEALTHY` is valid when `SAFE_BLOCKED > 0` and
`FAILED_TECHNICAL=0`.

## Go-Live Gate

`GO_LIVE_ALLOWED=true` only when all are true:

- preflight passes;
- company context is resolved;
- mandatory infrastructure is healthy;
- no unsafe write path is available;
- blockers are explicitly registered as safe blocked states;
- technical failures are below the configured threshold.

One hundred percent product completeness is not required to start an Agent.
This policy authorizes no deployment by itself.

## Blocker Registry And Retry

The Hub stores one blocker per stable fingerprint with tenant/company/product,
field, evidence, timestamps, retry count, next retry, and resolution source.
Identical input fingerprints are `BLOCK_CACHE_HIT` and do not create duplicate
rows, notifications, AI work items, or external calls. Reprocessing occurs when
product/context/dataset/KB/engine input changes or a retry schedule is due.

The exception API supports listing/filtering, CSV export, reprocess job creation,
and explicit resolution. A successful later evaluation automatically closes all
unresolved blockers for that product.

AI_REQUIRED_FOR_MANDATORY_COMPLETENESS=0
EXTERNAL_PRODUCT_PROVIDER_REQUIRED_FOR_MANDATORY_COMPLETENESS=0
AI_WRITE_ALLOWED=false
FIREBIRD_AI_WRITES=0

The 511 AI work items are optional enrichment. No provider purchase, AI call,
or fiscal inference is needed for operational start under this policy.
