PM Production Tracking Planning

Production tracking stays blocked as a placeholder progress branch.

This route records the current progress-truth boundary after read-only intake, workfront, field authorization, schedule-status, and durable-field-record planning: production tracking may move forward only as placeholder taxonomy, guardrails, progress-package planning, and later admission preparation. It does not admit quantity writes, labor progress writes, apparatus completion updates, or customer-facing production truth.

Production Tracking Placeholder Scope

Use this surface when the PM decision is branch selection only: keep production tracking as placeholder planning, or later open a separate admitted packet for live quantity, labor, apparatus, and progress authority.

Current posture

placeholder only

Production tracking may advance as no-live design work only. No live progress authority is admitted here.

Still blocked

not admitted

Quantity writes, labor progress writes, apparatus completion updates, customer reporting, and financial handoff remain blocked.

Placeholder taxonomy, guardrails, progress-package planning, no-go checks, and later-admission preparation.

Placeholder Output Taxonomy

These labels are planning classes only. They do not imply a live route, progress write, or production authority.

  • PRODUCTION_QUANTITY_DRAFT
  • LABOR_PROGRESS_DRAFT
  • APPARATUS_COMPLETION_DRAFT
  • READBACK_AUDIT_DRAFT

Placeholder Guardrails

  • No live POST, production quantity write, labor progress write, apparatus completion update, or audit readback commit.
  • No mutation-seam production tracking route promotion.
  • No reuse of durable field record, schedule or status, or workfront context as live production authority.
  • No customer reporting, invoice, payroll, or source writeback widening from this route.
  • No performance metric or completion truth commit until a later separately admitted packet exists.
  • No production dashboard or report publication from this route.

Recommended Next Production Tracking Placeholder Work

  • Define the minimum production tracking contract PM expects before quantity, labor, and apparatus progress can become system truth.
  • Separate production tracking planning from durable field record evidence, customer reporting, and later financial handoff proof.
  • Define the exact quantity, labor, apparatus, completion, and audit readback evidence a later production branch would have to satisfy.
  • Define explicit no-go conditions that keep production tracking planning from being mistaken for live progress authority.

Separate Branches Still Held

  • Durable field record remains a separate upstream placeholder branch.
  • Customer reporting and financial handoff remain separate later branches.
  • Finance, customer billing delivery, and source writeback remain governed by their own branches.
  • Customer delivery execution remains the admitted bounded proof branch and is not production tracking authority.

Customer reporting placeholder carries the next separate no-live branch after production tracking planning. It does not admit customer-facing reports or completion evidence publication.
