Part of Find the way to Odin’s build-ready specification.

Question

Do the resolved workload, architecture, scoring, health, data, interaction and validation contracts provide a coherent specification with nothing material left to decide before implementation? Review constraints, interfaces, acceptance criteria, research/licensing limits and dependencies; promote any remaining ambiguity into precise decision tickets. Agree the implementation handoff and scope with the human.

This is the end of this planning map. Start implementation only through a subsequent explicitly authorized build effort.

Specification review checkpoint

The resolved decisions cover the intended workload, scoring, health, data, runtime, interaction, and validation areas. Two internal contradictions prevent final approval:

Both are now child decision tickets and native blockers of this approval ticket. The numerical checksum and arithmetic constants in the Bash and language workload definitions were independently recomputed and match the specification. Review approval, implementation handoff, and any further cross-contract check resume after these decisions close. No production implementation or validation run occurred in this review.

## Specification review checkpoint The resolved decisions cover the intended workload, scoring, health, data, runtime, interaction, and validation areas. Two internal contradictions prevent final approval: - [Reconcile browser editor fixture and scripted action](https://git.bongbetic.com/xavierk/odin/issues/23): the first editor line generated by the specified fixture is a heading and contains no "alpha", but the script's second action requires bolding "alpha" on that line. - [Clarify headed validation for glibc certification cells](https://git.bongbetic.com/xavierk/odin/issues/24): the required matrix contains six glibc cells, while the headed validation gate says "four glibc cells". Both are now child decision tickets and native blockers of this approval ticket. The numerical checksum and arithmetic constants in the Bash and language workload definitions were independently recomputed and match the specification.

Final specification review for product-owner decision

I reviewed the map's resolved workload, scoring, health, results, runtime, interaction, browser, calibration, and validation decisions, plus the prior approval checkpoint. The remaining planning route is coherent under these precedence rules:

The implementation handoff is the linked decisions in Find the way to Odin’s build-ready specification. Build work must implement the specified runner, workloads and independent output checks, local records and export/import, terminal flows, native packages, capability outcomes, safety stops, and score eligibility. The browser pack must freeze exact app, fixture, selector, expected-state, and manifest bytes. A first implementation choice such as a stable grid sort tie-breaker becomes part of that frozen pack identity; changing it requires requalification. Board “lane one” denotes numeric lane ID 1: C000 starts in lane ID 0, and a move to the first ordinal lane would be a no-op, which the browser validity rule rejects.

Release evidence remains mandatory: rights and offline asset closure, physical mode-specific calibration, repeatability and TUI-overhead gates, eight certification cells, six headed glibc checks, and physical device/driver evidence. Secure physical aarch64 validation system for Odin v1 and Secure independent x86_64 validation system for Odin v1 are access prerequisites outside this planning map. No build, benchmark, calibration, or certification is claimed here. A candidate that fails qualification reopens its relevant design choice; it is never silently substituted.

I found no further decision that must precede implementation. Product-owner confirmation of this scope and handoff is the remaining condition for closing this approval ticket and completing the planning map.

## Final specification review for product-owner decision I reviewed the map's resolved workload, scoring, health, results, runtime, interaction, browser, calibration, and validation decisions, plus the prior approval checkpoint. The remaining planning route is coherent under these precedence rules: - [Choose a legally distributable v1 browser workload](https://git.bongbetic.com/xavierk/odin/issues/19) and [Specify Odin’s v1 browser interaction workload](https://git.bongbetic.com/xavierk/odin/issues/20) replace only Speedometer-specific text in the workload, scoring, runtime-pack, and calibration decisions. The browser domain uses the complete 240-sample p95 interaction suite and fresh mode-specific reference evidence. - [Reconcile browser editor fixture and scripted action](https://git.bongbetic.com/xavierk/odin/issues/23) supplies the corrected editor actions and expected states. The old conflicting script cannot enter the pack. - [Clarify headed validation for glibc certification cells](https://git.bongbetic.com/xavierk/odin/issues/24) corrects the headed functional gate to all six glibc cells, physically and in VMs. Numerical browser scores retain separate qualification gates. - [Resolve Odin v1 Extended browser workload scope](https://git.bongbetic.com/xavierk/odin/issues/25) limits v1 Extended browser work to three complete Odin-owned suites. JetStream and MotionMark are deferred. The implementation handoff is the linked decisions in [Find the way to Odin’s build-ready specification](https://git.bongbetic.com/xavierk/odin/issues/1). Build work must implement the specified runner, workloads and independent output checks, local records and export/import, terminal flows, native packages, capability outcomes, safety stops, and score eligibility.

No build, benchmark, calibration, or certification is claimed here. A candidate that fails qualification reopens its relevant design choice; it is never silently substituted. I found no further decision that must precede implementation. Product-owner confirmation of this scope and handoff is the remaining condition for closing this approval ticket and completing the planning map.

Resolution — specification and implementation handoff approved

The product owner approved the reviewed decision set and implementation handoff in this live exchange. The detailed review and precedence rules are in the final specification review. The linked decisions in Find the way to Odin’s build-ready specification are Odin v1’s build-ready planning specification.

The browser replacement, corrected editor script, six-cell headed glibc gate, and Extended browser scope supersede the specific earlier text identified in the review. No additional design ticket is required before implementation. Exact pack bytes, implementation choices, and qualification evidence must follow the approved contracts and create new identities when required.

This approval completes planning only. Production implementation needs a separately authorized build effort. Scored release remains gated on rights-cleared offline packs, physical calibration, repeatability, UI overhead, certification, and the independent x86_64 and physical aarch64 validation systems. No build, benchmark, calibration, or certification was performed by this approval.
