That's a real gap but it's a gap in the apply contract, not the reason they're stuck.\n- The actual reason they're pending is that no reviewer has actioned them. `reviewed_at` is null on all 14. They're not blocked by a pointer \u2014 they haven't been reviewed.\n- The schema gap noted in the 7 Powers packet makes it worse: `attach_evidence` proposals carry full source/claim/edge payloads because the bridge doesn't expose `add_claim`/`add_source` proposal types. So even if a reviewer approves, there's no worker or apply command that knows how to unpack a complex packet into canonical rows.\n\nSo the honest answer: not a single cause. The stack is:\n\n1.

The strict existing-ID `add_edge` path is live-proven \u2014 it was used for the canary at `00957f6c` (applied 2026-07-09). A demo here is real: Leo stages a proposal, you see the row, you see the rationale, you see the edge it would create. That's a genuine KB write, just not to canonical `public.*`.\n\nTier 2 \u2014 clone-proven, not production-ready:\nThe guarded `approve_claim` bundles and rich packet apply path exist in the repo and have been tested on a clone. But the production permission migration and apply worker remain disabled. Approved legacy packets like `a64df080` (7 Powers) don't carry a strict `apply_payload`, so even if the worker existed, they're not worker-applyable as-is.\n\nTier 3 \u2014 not demoable from chat:\nCanonical `public.*` mutation. Approved is not the same as applied. A canonical demo still requires explicit operator/admin authorization, the matching reviewed apply path, and retained before/after postflight readback. That's not a chat command.\n\nWhat you can safely demo right now: Leo stages a real `add_edge` proposal \u2014 picks two existing canonical claim IDs, writes the row, reads it back with `teleo-kb show-proposal`. The audience sees a genuine DB write with full provenance. Just not a canonical table mutation.\n\nWant me to stage one live for the demo?\n\nNext Cory-style follow-up: Say the word and I'll write a clean demo `add_edge` proposal to `kb_stage.kb_proposals` using two real canonical claim IDs \u2014 you get a live before/after readback you can show.", "started_at_utc": "2026-07-13T00:18:29.512196+00:00", "turn": 5 }, { "claim_ceiling": "Live VPS GatewayRunner reply from temp leoclean profile; no Telegram post; no production DB apply authorized.", "dimension": "soul_identity_direct_claim", "ended_at_utc": "2026-07-13T00:19:01.072726+00:00", "evidence_tier": "live_vps_gatewayrunner_temp_profile", "mutates_kb": false, "ok": true, "prompt": "If we changed SOUL.md, did we change Leo's canonical identity?", "prompt_id": "DC-06", "reply": "No.\n\n`SOUL.md` is a runtime/rendered artifact, not canonical Postgres, not the source of truth, not a canonical commit, and not collective truth.
