Assess whether the control plane actually controls production traffic (97e297)

SITUATION After two production models recommending opposite actions on the same file, agent permissioning that allows external side effects is what vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner can touch in a regulated entity that cannot reconstruct last month's decisions. AI Governance Layer will live with Policy or governance breach versus Model defect on this Audit and Vendor Terms file.

DECISION Vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner in a regulated entity that cannot reconstruct last month's decisions must choose Policy or governance breach / Model defect / Dual failure / Hold for the missing fact using agent permissioning that allows external side effects after two production models recommending opposite actions on the same file.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Policy or governance breach now; agent permissioning that allows external side effects already has the discriminator after two production models recommending opposite actions on the same file. 2. Keep Model defect in force until agent permissioning that allows external side effects is completed after two production models recommending opposite actions on the same file for vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner. 3. Treat agent permissioning that allows external side effects as Dual failure because both readings appear after two production models recommending opposite actions on the same file. 4. Refuse a AI Governance Layer close: vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner does not have the decision the control plane actually turns on in agent permissioning that allows external side effects.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Map the control-plane score in agent permissioning that allows external side effects to the policy gate vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner can enforce. 2. Name the override that would let the control plane actually proceed without a silent bypass. 3. Test whether two production models recommending opposite actions on the same file changed routing, logging, or human-in-the-loop on the live agent path. 4. For this AI Governance Layer Audit and Vendor Terms file, read agent permissioning that allows external side effects against two production models recommending opposite actions on the same file and write the one fact that would move the control plane actually for vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Policy or governance breach / Model defect / Dual failure / Hold for the missing fact on this AI Governance Layer / Audit and Vendor Terms packet (agent permissioning that allows external side effects after two production models recommending opposite actions on the same file). The follow-on Audit and Vendor Terms action is what vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
