+# M6 Gap Registry
+
+This file tracks known preparation gaps that Codex may close during implementation if they are in scope.
+
+## Gaps Codex may close directly
+
+| Gap | Allowed action |
+|---|---|
+| Missing small fixture | Create deterministic fixture. |
+| Missing test for implemented endpoint | Add test. |
+| Ambiguous UI empty state | Implement using UI state contracts. |
+| Minor missing error code | Add according to error contract. |
+| Missing helper docs after implementation | Update docs. |
+| Missing local script for repeated command | Add script under `scripts/`. |
+
+## Gaps requiring proposal only
+
+| Gap | Required action |
+|---|---|
+| New external data source | Create RFC. |
+| New model family | Create RFC. |
+| GPU-only dependency | Create RFC. |
+| New database engine | Reject unless approved. |
+| New authentication system | Create RFC. |
+| Multi-user permissions | Create RFC. |
+| QGIS plugin | Create RFC. |
+| Full MLOps platform | Create RFC. |
+
+## Current strategic gaps intentionally deferred
+
+- Real Sentinel provider credentials and download flow.
+- Production GRB WFS adapter details.
+- Full LiDAR processing.
+- Training/fine-tuning studio.
+- Hosted deployment target.
+- Model registry UI.
+- QGIS plugin.
+
+These are not blockers for V1 foundation.
