ZRF-PEP-0001 export and issue
An editable Word document at any state, a controlled PDF only once every blocking gate passes.
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.

The two outputs differ

| Editable Word | Any state | A draft watermark that cannot be removed while the deliverable is unapproved, and every gap marked in place |
| Controlled PDF | Approved | A clean cover page, the document control block filled, the approver named, and the issue 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.
