PM Field Authority Planning

Field authorization and assignment stay blocked as a placeholder branch.

This route records the current field-authority truth after read-only intake and field-prep context: field authorization and assignment can move forward only as placeholder taxonomy, guardrails, release-gate planning, and later admission preparation. It does not admit work authorization, lead or crew assignment, schedule changes, status writes, durable field records, or production tracking.

Field Authorization Placeholder Scope

Use this surface when the PM decision is branch selection only: keep field authorization and assignment as placeholder planning, or later open a separate admitted packet for live field release authority.

Current posture

placeholder only

Field authorization may advance as no-live design work only. No live work release authority is admitted here.

Still blocked

not admitted

Lead assignment, crew assignment, schedule changes, status writes, durable field records, and production tracking remain blocked.

design only

Placeholder taxonomy, guardrails, release-gate planning, evidence expectations, no-go checks, and later-admission preparation.

Placeholder Output Taxonomy

These labels are planning classes only. They do not imply a live route, assignment, or work-release authority.

  • FIELD_AUTHORIZATION_DRAFT
  • LEAD_ASSIGNMENT_DRAFT
  • CREW_ASSIGNMENT_DRAFT
  • FIELD_RELEASE_GATE_DRAFT

Placeholder Guardrails

  • No live POST, authorization, assignment, dispatch, or field release.
  • No mutation-seam field authorization or assignment route promotion.
  • No reuse of import, approval, or field-prep context as live field authority.
  • No schedule or status write widening from this route.
  • No durable field record, production tracking, customer reporting, or finance output widening.
  • No lead or crew assignment commit until a later separately admitted packet exists.

Recommended Next Field Authorization Placeholder Work

  • Define the minimum field authorization contract PM expects before any work can be released to lead or field roles.
  • Separate field authorization planning from intake review, field-prep questions, and later schedule or status controls.
  • Define the exact lead, crew, access, and safety proof that any later authorization branch would have to satisfy.
  • Define explicit no-go conditions that keep field authorization planning from being mistaken for live work release authority.

Separate Branches Still Held

  • Import approval and project import remain separate prerequisite branches.
  • Schedule or status controls remain a separate later branch after field authorization and assignment proof exists.
  • Durable field record and production tracking remain separate later branches.
  • Finance, customer billing delivery, and source writeback remain governed by their own branches.

Schedule status placeholder carries the next separate no-live branch after field authorization planning. It does not admit schedule changes or status writes.
