# Tenth independent audit remediation closure

## Decision

**BLOCKED / NO-GO remains truthful.** `partnerReady=false`, `pilotReady=false`,
V2 remains the write default, active design partners remain zero, and no
network action occurred. No person, organization, authority, agreement,
signature, acceptance, audit, deployment, insurance, or legal conclusion was
invented.

## Finding-by-finding closure

- **H-01 — closed technically, positive path still externally blocked.** The v3
  runner invokes the exact source-commit candidate adapter in an isolated
  Python process, requires the exact module/route/adapter/digests, complete
  inputs, environment, exit status, empty stdout/stderr, raw JSONL output, and
  candidate output bytes. The checker rehashes the bytes and independently
  derives relationship and privacy predicates; no metadata candidate-output
  surrogate remains.
- **H-02 — closed.** History is finite and acyclic:
  `source -> selection -> execution evidence -> attestation`. Selection-stage
  artifacts do not embed their containing selection commit/tree. Execution
  evidence may bind the already-existing selection commit/tree. The final
  envelope binds the already-existing source, selection, and evidence stages
  and does not embed its own attestation commit/tree.
- **H-03 — closed fail-closed.** A distinct randomness-root policy and
  root-signed beacon-authority credential chain are required. The source-pinned
  root digest is deliberately `None`; no environment variable can override it.
  Positive readiness is structurally impossible until a later reviewed source
  commit pins a genuine independent authority.
- **H-04 — closed.** Beacon bytes and signature are resolved, rehashed, and
  authority-verified. The 32-byte opening deterministically ranks the complete
  globally validated corpus, chooses exactly 400 unique pairs for each of the
  three required tests, and deterministically orders all 1,200 cases. The
  runner and checker independently recompute selection.
- **M-01 — closed.** Detect, triage, escalate, contain, and notify-partner are
  the exact five mandatory successful incident objectives.
- **M-02 — closed.** Every objective has an exact role set, assigned identity,
  subject/partner organization, contact-control channel, controller, signed
  receipt, and fresh ordered timing. Each event digest resolves to a unique
  typed tracked source record; detection signals are no longer digest labels.
- **M-03 — closed.** The canonical argv includes candidate adapter, context,
  corpus universe, deterministic selection, output, and test ID. Execution
  evidence must reproduce the expanded argv byte-for-byte and bind the exact
  hermetic environment and logs.
- **L-01 — closed.** Content IDs and pair IDs are domain-separated and
  content-derived. Duplicate and reversed pairs are rejected across the entire
  corpus before any component-test filter. Coverage IDs come only from the
  validated selected universe.

## Verification

- 35/35 independently reported tenth probes have exact named current-protocol
  regressions.
- Tenth-generation file: 62 tests passed, including a finite temporary-Git
  hermetic exact-candidate positive fixture.
- Full suite: 260 tests passed in normal mode and 260 passed under `python -O`.
- Dependency-free strict JSON/Draft 2020-12 subset validation passed; all JSON
  files parsed with duplicate-key and non-finite-number rejection.
- 20,000 conservative Hoeffding property cases passed; deterministic selection
  returned the same 1,200 cases under reversed universe ordering.
- Organizational checker passed only the truthful blocked manifest: 25 open
  mandatory evidence items, 14 external-human blockers.
- Package validator reported `pilotReady=false`,
  `organizationalPartnerReady=false`, `v2Default=true`, zero active partners,
  and `networkActions=none`.
- Cache scan found no `__pycache__`, `.pyc`, or `.pyo` files.

The external tenth harness is frozen to the removed v2 raw-input API and now
fails immediately at its obsolete “valid v2 baseline.” Its 35 attack ideas are
reproduced as named v3 regressions in the package. Two still-available older
expanded harnesses execute, but retain stale source-introspection
classifications; current validators reject the tested ready-state mutations
fail-closed.

## Remaining blockers

External human evidence remains required for legal entity, authorized
signatory, actual contacts, insurance, counsel signoff, privacy signoff, partner
acceptance, role assignments, commercial agreement, signatures, security-policy
acceptance, incident-plan acceptance, support/SLA selection, and change-RACI
acceptance. A genuine independently governed randomness root, administrator,
root-signed beacon credential, and public beacon endpoint are also absent.
