Verified delivery and manager integration checkpoint (2026-09-13)

Moved without content change from shared-goal-alignment-and-governed-amendment-v0.md (former section "1.1 Verified delivery and manager integration checkpoint (2026-09-13)") on 2026-09-26; RFC baseline 3e443ad7c. Checkpoint records live in this ledger, not in the RFC body.

At 7eb4b7bb1661bd5eff63a8725a33169792d5964b, the Stage 1 alignment reader and Stage 2 proposal admission/retention exist, including #3874 and the canonical Todo/lease source convergence in #4143. Their owners are goals/shared_goal_alignment.{py,ts} and goal_amendment_proposal.{py,ts} under loopx/control_plane. The latter explicitly returns canonical_effect: none; it has no approved status or commit path. These are implemented foundations, not full canonical intent versioning or Stage 3–5 acceptance. The RFC remains Draft.

The manager/handoff RFC should reuse the alignment reader for work-basis context; amendment admission applies only after classification when the request satisfies that admission contract. Its request, brief or delivery revision is not a Goal-intent revision. A manager's higher tool freedom does not confer shared-amendment authority, and handoff receipt does not acknowledge a new Goal on behalf of every peer. Section 9.1 and that RFC's M2/A16 define integration; they do not introduce a second amendment policy.
