**sha256:** `c4d48463ecb36748ffeef040619d734e5c9bea3d47d494dde32a9c108bebdec3`  
**Astra:** `d294ce21-ef17-4833-8f83-e5040dc73447` (via Codex relay `59bdbb69…`)

## Policy applied
- Resolution: **CALENDAR_DATE_ONLY**
- Conservative bound: **END_OF_OFFICIAL_RELEASE_DAY** in **America/New_York** (policy attach only; source row timezone stays null)
- Prior-calendar-day Progress → **PASS**
- Same-day Progress vs noon T0 → **EXCLUDED** (no independent pre-T0 evidence)
- Later Progress → **EXCLUDED**
- 4pm schedule / Last-Modified: policy/secondary only
- Content/vintage: **separate gate** (still blocks unknown material vintage)

## Proposed origin
Crop Production ordinary noon ET PFEI (card CONSENSUS_USDA_CROP_PRODUCTION). Comparison uses origin **calendar date** only under this policy.

## Counts
| Metric | N |
|--------|--:|
| CP ordinary corn-header Aug–Nov origins (2010–2025) | 62 |
| Progress ordinary Jul–Sep date-matched rows | 211 |
| Same-day Progress↔CP collisions (excluded) | 6 |
| Seasons with ≥1 prior-day Progress for every such origin | **16** |
| BAR≥12 on timing alone | YES |

## Decision this pass
- **G_PREDICTOR timing:** Astra date policy **applied** (prior-day pass / same-day excluded)
- **G_REVISION_PROTOCOL:** still **UNRESOLVED**
- **G_SURVEY_REGIME / content-vintage:** still **UNRESOLVED** (blocks freeze)
- **READY_TO_FREEZE:** **NO**
- **FEASIBILITY_INSUFFICIENT:** **NOT declared** (timing alone still clears BAR≥12 plausibility)

## Rules
FREEZE=NO · MODEL_CHANGE=NO · REAL_CAPITAL=NOT_AUTHORIZED · TARGETS_CLOSED · final N not claimed
