v180 submission lock

Submission Lock Readiness Note

A protected readiness note for deciding when donor, DFI, ministry, or committee materials are stable enough to circulate without changing the underlying governance posture.

Submission-lock principle

Submission lock is a governance posture, not a technical freeze. It means the committee-facing pack has a controlled scope, known open conditions, named owners, stable links, and no unresolved authority-boundary ambiguity.

Lock-ready when

Public institutional route is stable.
Protected donor pack links resolve.
Evidence map aligns claims to artifacts.
Reviewer Q&A has owner-approved responses.
Open conditions have escalation treatment.
Export posture is marked as ready, conditional, or blocked.

Do not lock when

Authority boundary is unclear.
MRV attachment or data-sovereignty posture is unresolved.
Broken route links remain.
Reviewer accountability is not represented.
Committee evidence map has gaps.
Protected data-room access protocol is missing.

Submission posture

Status	Meaning	Action
Ready	Core pack, links, evidence map, QA, and access protocol are stable.	Circulate with controlled note.
Conditional	Pack is usable, but one or more conditions must be disclosed.	Assign owner and deadline.
Blocked	Material gap affects authority boundary, evidence integrity, MRV posture, or protected access.	Do not circulate until resolved.

Documentation only

This note does not lock records in the database, execute SQL, change schema, or alter permission logic. It is a submission-readiness control surface only.
