Nothing suggests to me that she currently is not seaworthy even in her current state and going by your definition. She doesn't have to be able to fight, only to sail; a minimal crew manning the bridge, engine rooms, and some of the engineering spaces could accomplish this.

Any ship starts with mooring trials, performed by builder's crew. After these trials are successfully finished, the ship will be taken to builder's sea trials, again performed by builder's crew, few key officers from the navy crew usually are on board as well, but not the whole navy crew. After these are over, the ship may be taken to dry dock again, all mechanisms given a shakedown, and the ship will be taken for acceptance trials by military crew, usually there will be people from builder's crew and especially from various designers of electronic equipment and weapon systems.
If 001A has passed mooring trials, she is certainly seaworthy.

New picture CV017
8月1日の001A型空母、船体消磁がもう始まったらしい
It seems that the 001 A type aircraft carrier on August 1, demagnetization of the hull has already begun
Painting is complete?, Anti skid apply? . No more scaffolding around the island. What is going on here? builder trial?

Perhaps after she has tested the propulsion system and electricity generation system out in the sea. The dock is always hers, the builder can do things in any order they see fit.
