Gates & decisions

Status as of 2026-08-03 (all five active PRs pushed and merge-gated; Evelina's answers folded; VDT-3395 created). Living board: ../vdt3343-status.html · Plan: ../4H-CLIENT-AUTO-MANUAL-PLAN.md · HTML: .workflow/4h-client-auto-manual-plan-2026-07-31.html.

Critical path — 4H Phase 1 enable

Gate	Need	Status
Client AUTO/MANUAL	PAKAS `kl_4rp_auto`; default MANUAL; cron only if AUTO=1; seed legacy 4 payers	In #394, pushed (incl. the P3 `kl_edit_plius` ACL gate, commit `425bf63c` 2026-08-03). Review 2026-08-01: verified, e2e 3/3 incl. MANUAL skip. Seed list four-vs-six still open with Sales
Doubling + ceilings	Price.php country lows LT 50 / LV·EE 60; eligibility through LT 75 / LV·EE 90; kill 80/100	App config maps in #394/#90 (pushed). Library half: helper PR #43 open (`e868978` off the 0.8.2 tag, patches `Price.php` + label `DirectionProvider.php`, suite 170 green) → after merge tag 0.8.3 → cherry-pick → 0.9.1 → pakas pin `^0.8.3`. Release remains a promotion gate (no pakas lock; pipelines `composer update`)
Q14 (OD-15/16/posti)	Product YES on VDT-3203	YES — Evelina 2026-07-30 (eligibility). Default AUTO superseded → MANUAL (Sales 2026-07-31)
PR approvals	2 approvals each: #394 / #90 / #49 → `dev` · #743 → `master` · helper #43 → `master`	All five pushed and merge-gated (2026-08-03): #394 `425bf63c` · #90 `aa31edc3` (also gated on the 0.9.1 tag + Playwright on VPN) · #49 `7fc0030` (API suite on VPN) · #743 `99f5a8b` (merge = prod deploy, own release OK) · #43 `e868978` (review first — unblocks the tags). The 2026-08-01 "#90/#49 not ready" findings were fixed by the amendments below. Briefing: `.workflow/4h-pr-approver-briefing-2026-08-03.md`
Single auto-4H writer	All auto-4H writers gate on the client-card switch	RULED 2026-08-02 (user), executed 2026-08-03: creation paths keep auto-apply gated on `kl_4rp_auto`; manual/declared paths unchanged. siunta amended (`aa31edc3`) · go-import amended (`7fc0030`) · veniship ships explicit-only (auto-detect dropped — no `kl_4rp_auto` read path; pakas cron is the sole AUTO writer for its traffic)
go-ws	Align `svoris_array` + doubling skew	No PR yet — config-only fix recommended (`inc/config.php:37` low=60, no ceiling → courier-doc skew); logic safely deferrable (go-ws never writes `siunt_4rp`)
Zero-price	Prod `kain_4rp` probe before LT flip	Open (+ `posti_service1` population probe; VPN down — demo re-probe pending). NEW CONFLICT 2026-08-03: Evelina states tariff = 14 € 4H / 28 € 2×4H (VDT-3203 c.111596) vs programme 6/12 € base vs `kain_4rp` schema default 50.00 — Finance reconciliation needed before seed/billing
LT enable	Data flip `posti_service1` for LT	After deploy and AUTO/MANUAL gate
Pallet exclusion	Auto-4H skip when package has pallet flag	Wired 2026-08-01 — Product ruling "4H = weighted parcels only, never PUDO/pallets"; cron JOIN `pack_paletes_tipas = '0'` + e2e row (commit `1529e793`)

Execution status 2026-08-03: largely executed, faster than planned — the "Phase 6" items (siunta/go-import amendments, veniship split, helper branch) were pulled forward after the 2026-08-02 amend ruling and are done; all five active PRs are pushed. The current live path is the program map's Phases A–F; the skeleton below stands as the historical record. Skeleton: park #90/#49/#743 (do-not-merge pending single-writer ruling) → helper 0.8.3 (both files, cut from 0.8.2 tag) + pakas pin ^0.8.3 → #394 cheap fixes (7c94a2ad, local) + 2 approvals → promotion vehicle decision (branch head = 90 commits / 6 tickets vs uat — cut a 4H-only promotion branch or collect co-travel sign-offs) → SQL-before-code on uat+prod (+dev+demo) + EXPLAIN gate + prod composer show proof → pre-flip: go-ws config-only PR, inverted kain_4rp=50.00 probe, prod censuses, un-strip count (go-import/siunta client-declared 4H un-gates itself at flip — counting + Evelina comms, not code), E1/E9(+E4) errata → wave-by-zone flip (2→3→4→11) with per-wave monitors (LV/EE 51–60 doubled must be exactly 0) + pre-staged reverse UPDATE → post-flip: audit-log fast-follow, cross-repo consistency invariant audit → Phase 6: helper 0.9.1 → siunta #90 Option-B rework (+ rescue the uncommitted config map!), go-import #49 rework, veniship #743 split (explicit-fix only; master auto-deploys prod — say-so needed), #516 refresh (B1 7-param fix + 350→250 + docblock relabels) → HF/LW entry gate. Flip-blocking asks: P1 ANSWERED 2026-08-03 (Evelina c.111596: 26–30 kg LT bills the same flat 4H LT 26–50 price, no separate tier; trigger 26/31 reconfirmed) — replaced by two new pre-flip items: the 14/28-vs-6/12-vs-50 tariff reconciliation (Finance) and VDT-3395 re-weigh re-eval (P4 ruled Phase-1 scope). P2 superseded by the 2026-08-02 amend ruling. P3 ANSWERED: commercial field → kl_edit_plius-gated (amended on #394). P5/P11/cron cadence routed to Dainius/Mindaugas (business constraints recorded: label must never contradict billing; no OOH shipment may get 4H/HF). Seed four-vs-six (VDT-3384) still open with Sales.

Resolved product decisions

ID	Outcome
OD-4	HF = LW €/100 kg (LT 6.60 / LV 7.00 / EE 8.20), configurable
OD-8	LW per 100 kg; bonus 0.03 €/kg; final for programming
OD-27	HF excluded OOH/PP/locker
OD-3	Package trigger >20
OD-25	LW billable only executed + valid photo
2×4H tiers	Authoritative — not “out of Phase 1”. LT ≥51…≤75 · LV/EE ≥61…≤90
Country gate	Auto-4H requires both sender and consignee LT/LV/EE
LW direction	Equipment to nearest driveable point; indoor carry phased out
HF/LW kg	Unify on 250 kg (drop 350)
Palletisation	Physical/operator flag — never weight-auto; 75/90 ≠ pallet triggers
Q14	OD-15 whitelist removed · OD-16 volume dropped · `posti_service1` · both-country — YES (Evelina 2026-07-30 on VDT-3203)
OD-15 default	Superseded 2026-07-31: default = MANUAL; Sales sets AUTO on client card; legacy 4 payers seeded AUTO (no hardcoded cron list)

Still open for HF/LW build (after 4H)

Gate	Need
OD-5	Canonical pallet signal aggregation
G-ALTER	MyISAM window
Device-app	VDT-3344
PR #516	Characterization tests — not on 4H path

Do not invent

Do not reintroduce low=80/high=100. Do not drop 2×4H. Do not auto-pallet from weight. Do not treat 350 kg as the LW hard figure.

Product follow-ups from VDT-3203 (Evelina 2026-07-30 → updated 2026-07-31)

Item	Status
Sales AUTO/MANUAL on PAKAS client card	Built in #394 (pushed) — default MANUAL (Sales 2026-07-31). P3 ruling 2026-08-03: commercial field → save+render gated behind `kl_edit_plius` (commit `425bf63c` pushed 2026-08-03; suites baseline-green + veni-guard 42/0). Blocks LT flip.
`pack_4rp` uses physical pack weight (not volumetric/formula)	Evidence gathered 2026-08-01: cron reads `tbl_pack.pack_weight` — physical column, but client-declared until the terminal weigh (`pack_sverimas_m.php:50` is the sole scale writer; no volumetric field involved). Product one-liner needed: accept declared-weight flagging, or gate on `pack_weight_ok='1'`
Re-eval 4H on terminal re-weigh	Product RULED 2026-08-03 (Evelina c.111596): required IN PHASE 1 with billing — not deferrable. Ticket VDT-3395 created (clear auto-set on drop-below-floor, re-flag AUTO payers on cross, provenance mechanism needed — `siunt_4rp` has no auto-vs-manual marker). Joins the LT-flip gate.
LT zones 2/3/4/11 `posti_service1` data enable	Data task — after AUTO/MANUAL gate in prod
2× pricing in Phase 1 vs deferred	Product one-liner still needed (PM treated 80→51/61 as code bug)
75/90 vs mandatory-palletisation thresholds	Contingent if pallet thresholds move
