ZRF-PEP-0001-RA export and issue

An editable Word document at any state, a controlled PDF only once every blocking gate passes.

Demonstration project - no figure here describes a real facilityChanges are not saved
Why

The DOCX and PDF writers are real and tested. What is blocked is storing the produced file and recording the transmittal, which needs the object store.

Writes are validated against the engineering rules and then refused, because no database has been configured for this environment.

A controlled PDF cannot be produced for this

ZRF-PEP-0001-RA is superseded. A controlled PDF has a clean cover page and a filled document control block - it is the artefact somebody prints and works from. Producing one for an unapproved deliverable is how an unapproved document ends up on site.

Produce

A controlled issue is refused while any blocking gate fails, and the refusal names the gate.

Editable Word, or a controlled PDF for issue

Required for a controlled issue, so the transmittal can be recorded

The writers are real

The DOCX builder and the PDF writers produce files that open, and they are tested by reading their output back with independent readers. What is blocked is storing the produced file and recording the transmittal, which needs the object store nobody has provisioned.
