Maker-checker approval for designing a future seed importer. It can approve an importer design brief, not an importer run, data write, payment, inventory, ledger, or order mutation.
Approval requests
3
design-only sample cases
Approvers
2
maker and checker split
Runtime writes
0
approval cannot execute import
Hard blocks
10
same mutation locks remain active
Purpose
This gate lets FAEDA decide whether the next team may document a future importer design. It deliberately does not create APIs, workers, queues, jobs, or database writers.
Hard boundary
Even an approved request can only move to technical documentation. All operational, inventory, payment, ledger, and order mutations remain locked.

Requested
Approve importer design brief only
Decision needed
Checker can approve design discovery, request changes, or reject.
Still blocked
No importer build, no import execution, no database write.

Source report
RPT-SEED-002
Requested
Approve duplicate-safe design research
Decision needed
Checker needs stronger duplicate comparison evidence before approval.
Still blocked
No automatic merge, no record update, no silent overwrite.
Security learning only. Payload requested forbidden inventory and wallet mutation.

Security Review
Checker
Founder Approval
Source report
RPT-SEED-004
Requested
Review unsafe mutation pattern
Decision needed
Checker should reject importer design and archive the risk note.
Still blocked
No design approval, no import writer, no operational mutation.
Maker can draft the importer design request and attach readiness reports.
Cannot
Maker cannot approve their own request or execute an import.
Checker reviews dry-run report, readiness decision, mutation locks, and scope.
Cannot
Checker cannot bypass missing evidence or approve runtime writes.
Maker and checker must be different identities or explicitly escalated by founder policy.
Cannot
No same-user maker-checker shortcut.
Approval may create a design brief for future engineering only.
Cannot
No service, API, worker, queue, import job, or database writer is created here.
Every approve, reject, or change request needs a reason and timestamp.
Cannot
No silent approval or hidden override.
All Phase 156-158 locks stay active after approval.
Cannot
Approval cannot unlock PO, GRN, inventory, invoice, ledger, wallet, payout, settlement, or confirmed order mutation.
pass
Team may write a technical design document for a future importer.
Still blocked
Cannot build, run, or schedule importer.
warning
Maker must revise scope, evidence, idempotency, permissions, or mutation-lock handling.
Still blocked
Cannot progress to engineering design approval.
blocked
The request is unsafe or unsupported by readiness evidence.
Still blocked
No importer design, no runtime work, no hidden exception.
blocked
Critical or regulated risk requires founder/security review before any next gate.
Still blocked
No automatic approval after escalation.
Importer design brief
Define demo-only tenant scope, pack type, allowed seed groups, and no-production-write boundary.
Define stable keys, duplicate comparison behavior, safe re-run policy, and conflict handling.
Define entity dependency order, missing reference handling, and relationship validation.
Define backend role checks, admin-only gates, maker-checker separation, and audit requirements.
Define hard rejection for PO, GRN, inventory, invoice, ledger, wallet, payout, settlement, and confirmed order writes.
Define no-write dry-run behavior, evidence archive, error report shape, and retention policy.

}Hard approval rules
Approval gate can approve design discovery only.
Approval gate cannot build, run, schedule, or execute an importer.
Approval gate cannot write seed records or operational records.
Approval gate requires maker-checker separation and audit reason.
Approval gate output must feed a technical design document, not a runtime service.
Next build gate
After maker-checker design approval, the next safe move is a documentation-only technical design for the future importer. Still no runtime importer.
