+# Module 06 — Pre-Deploy Readiness Decision
+
+## Purpose
+
+This document records the evidence-based readiness decision for Module 06.
+
+It does not authorize deployment, API enablement, IAM mutation, billing
+changes, container builds, Artifact Registry use, or Cloud Build use.
+
+## Decision Rules
+
+- **PASS:** Verified evidence exists and the requirement is satisfied.
+- **FAIL:** The requirement is not satisfied or conflicts with a safety boundary.
+- **NOT ENOUGH DATA:** Available evidence is insufficient for a reliable decision.
+- **BLOCKED:** A critical FAIL or NOT ENOUGH DATA prevents progression.
+
+## Readiness Table
+
+| Area | Check | Status | Current Evidence | Required Action |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Project Identity | Target project confirmed | NOT ENOUGH DATA | No verified target project recorded in this decision | Confirm project name and project ID |
+| Project Identity | Demo and production boundaries separated | NOT ENOUGH DATA | Environment boundary not yet recorded | Document intended environment |
+| Billing | Billing state verified | NOT ENOUGH DATA | No current read-only billing evidence attached | Perform read-only verification |
+| Billing | Approved cost ceiling documented | FAIL | No explicit approved ceiling recorded | Define maximum permitted spend |
+| Cloud Run API | Current API state known | NOT ENOUGH DATA | API state not yet verified | Perform read-only API state check |
+| Cloud Run API | Enablement separately approved | PASS | Existing approval boundary requires explicit approval | Preserve approval gate |
+| IAM | Intended runtime identity documented | NOT ENOUGH DATA | Service account decision not recorded | Document intended identity |
+| IAM | Least-privilege role proposal exists | NOT ENOUGH DATA | Role proposal not yet recorded | Prepare non-mutating role matrix |
+| Cost | Minimum instances policy defined | PASS | Planning boundary requires scale-to-zero | Preserve minimum instances at zero |
+| Cost | Maximum instances cap defined | NOT ENOUGH DATA | Maximum cap not approved | Define safe maximum |
+| Cost | Region selected and justified | NOT ENOUGH DATA | No approved region decision recorded | Compare suitable regions |
+| Deployment Gate | Explicit approval required | PASS | Approval matrix requires a separate approval | Preserve gate |
+| Deployment Gate | Deploy commands excluded | PASS | Current Module 06 planning scope excludes deploy commands | No action |
+| Evidence | Local and live evidence separated | PASS | Evidence planning separates readiness from live execution | Preserve boundary |
+| Safety | No secrets or credentials introduced | PASS | Repository guardrails passed | No action |
+| Safety | No live mutation authorized | PASS | Management record limits current scope to planning/docs | No action |
+
+## Stop Conditions
+
+Progression must stop when any of the following remains true:
+
+- target project identity is uncertain;
+- billing state is unknown or blocked;
+- approved cost ceiling is missing;
+- Cloud Run API state is unknown;
+- IAM identity or least-privilege scope is unclear;
+- deployment approval is missing;
+- a live mutation command appears in readiness-only work.
+
+## Current Decision
+
+**BLOCKED — PLANNING ONLY**
+
+Current blockers:
+
+1. Target project and environment boundary require confirmation.
+2. Billing state has not been verified with current read-only evidence.
+3. An explicit cost ceiling has not been approved.
+4. Cloud Run API state is not yet documented.
+5. Runtime identity and least-privilege roles are not yet documented.
+6. Region and maximum scaling cap are not yet approved.
+
+## Authorization Boundary
+
+The following actions remain unauthorized:
+
+- Cloud Run deployment
+- Google Cloud API enablement
+- IAM mutation
+- billing account changes
+- Artifact Registry creation or upload
+- Cloud Build execution
+- public ingress changes
+- service account key creation
+- any cost-bearing cloud operation
+
+A separate explicit approval is required before any live cloud mutation.
