Codex should still treat account-level ad-serving disablement as a first-dollar blocker if Google links the action to Payments.","currentWorkingAnswer":"Payment account setup is not meaningless, but it should be separated from first-dollar proof. A payout profile can wait if ads can serve and earnings can be recorded; account-level ad-serving disabled cannot wait because it blocks AdSense earnings.","firstDollarDefinition":"A real ad network, sponsor, or affiliate dashboard/payment record shows non-zero advertising earnings. A payment profile, pitch, application, or invoice template is not first-dollar proof.","paymentAccountPriority":"Parallel owner-only track: do not let bank/tax/address setup stop site-side growth work, but resolve it immediately if Google or another network blocks activation, ad serving, approval, or payout.","currentKnownBlocker":"The latest recorded read-only Chrome observation from 2026-05-29 showed an account-level temporary disabled notice and disabled ad serving, with the visible action pointing to Payments. That observation is stale: current ad serving, impressions, and revenue are unknown until the owner refreshes AdSense. If the notice persists, the owner must handle it directly before AdSense can earn.","rules":[{"id":"account-or-ad-serving-disabled","label":"Account disabled or ad serving disabled","severity":"first-dollar-blocker","firstDollarImpact":"Blocks AdSense estimated earnings because ads cannot serve while the account-level serving state is disabled.","payoutImpact":"Also blocks later payout progress until the account issue is resolved in the owner's Google account.","ownerAction":"Open AdSense, capture only the non-private status label, and let the owner resolve any required account action.","codexBoundary":"Codex can document the visible non-private status, but cannot submit appeals or enter login, legal, identity, tax, address, bank, terms, or verification-code fields."},{"id":"identity-tax-address-hold","label":"Identity, tax, or address verification hold","severity":"payout-blocker","firstDollarImpact":"May not be the first proof blocker if ad serving is already enabled and estimated earnings can appear, but it can block account progress if Google requires it now.","payoutImpact":"Can prevent funds from being paid out until the owner completes verification and Google accepts it.","ownerAction":"The owner completes identity, tax, and address steps directly inside Google.
