# Post-remediation partner-readiness re-audit closure

## Truth label

**Partner-ready: no. Pilot-ready: no. Organizational status: blocked.**

This package does not claim entity formation, partner acceptance, legal or
privacy approval, insurance, audit completion, deployment, signing, wallet
activity, or an RPC result. No human identity or authority was invented.

## Finding-by-finding disposition

### C-01 — self-declared identity and authority trust: source-level closed

Readiness now requires an externally human-attested registry, a separately
pinned external Ed25519 trust root, exact root digest, per-identity
key-ownership challenge signatures, organization membership evidence,
authority evidence, exact role
enums, internal/partner organization separation, one distinct human for every
mandatory internal role, and separate preparer, reviewer, authorizer, and
partner acceptor identities. The checked-in registry remains `unconfigured`.

### H-01 — permissive or monolithic scope: source-level closed

Scope is a closed, typed tuple of one Base module, one route, and one action
class. The route must exist exactly once in the candidate-bound scope registry,
match the canonical module source and protected-decision mapping, and select a
canonically supported, deployed, authorized `objective-protocol` module.
Every other canonical module must be denied. Global V3 aliases, nonexistent
routes, reputation modules, unknown actions, mismatched tuples, and monolithic
activation fail closed. The checked-in registry contains no approved routes.

### H-02 — untracked, generic, or semantically empty evidence: source-level closed

All 25 mandatory claims require a unique, type-specific attestation and a
unique objective artifact. Both must be exact blobs tracked at the evidence
commit, match their SHA-256 bindings, use exact fields, satisfy claim-specific
semantic fact predicates, and bind the candidate core, source commit, two
organizations, and exact scope. Ignored, untracked, symlinked, traversing,
out-of-package, reused, worktree-only, generic, or digest-duplicate evidence is
rejected.

### H-03 — incoherent canonical candidate: source-level closed

The gate binds source commit/tree, evidence commit/tree, candidate core,
outer candidate, deployment manifest, canonical operations, policy,
supersession, open module specification, canonical ledger, package schema,
trust registry, scope registry, rollout plan, selected module/route/action, and
all evidence. Source and evidence commits must exist; source must be an
ancestor; the evidence commit may alter only controlled organizational
evidence/identity paths; and the worktree must be clean.

### H-04 — protected-input and flourishing invariant bypass: source-level closed

Protected-decision inputs use a closed allowlist; unknown encodings and opaque,
hashed, derived, or transitive labels fail closed. Surveillance, biometric,
profiling, behavioral, reputation, belief, flourishing, quality, loyalty, and
trust-score concepts cannot influence principal, collateral, access,
eligibility, pricing, slashing, settlement, disputes, custody, routing,
refunds, exits, or rewards.

Accountability Bonds and Partnership Bonds are affirmatively described as
flourishing bonds supporting cooperation, accountable growth, and freedom.
The machine manifest separately requires that flourishing cannot control
principal, cannot control collateral, and cannot control any protected
decision.

### M-01 — Python boolean/integer substitution: source-level closed

Schema `const` and `enum` comparisons recursively require exact JSON/Python
types. `true`, `1`, and `1.0` are not interchangeable. Regressions cover all
three demonstrated substitutions.

### M-02 — incomplete flourishing-bond presentation: source-level closed

The partner-facing statement now explains the distinct Partnership and
Accountability purposes and their shared cooperation, accountable-growth, and
freedom boundary without claiming deployment or legal effect.

## Regression closure

- Original independent attacks: **15 named reproductions**, all rejected or
  validated as expected.
- Expanded independent attacks: **19 named reproductions**, all rejected or
  validated as expected.
- Additional bypass mutations: exact-own-key injection, tracked-blob
  substitution, and absent per-identity key-ownership proof, all rejected.
- Full suite: **57/57 passed** under normal Python and **57/57 passed** under
  `python -O`.
- Strict JSON: **20 documents parsed**; **13 schema instances validated**.
- Determinism: passed; blocked readiness output SHA-256 is
  `b783b18c99d20521ef410e82633bfc9d9c7d3fa9752db3e4d752531c72920cf6`.
- Cache-free aggregate validation: passed with `pilotReady:false`,
  `organizationalPartnerReady:false`, `v2Default:true`, and no network action.
- Diff whitespace check: passed.

The external expanded harness was not executed because it writes outside the
permitted package scope. Its 19 case names and attack logic were reproduced
inside `tests/test_post_remediation_expanded.py`.

## Remaining blockers

### External human blockers (14)

Legal entity; authorized signatory; actual contacts; insurance decision and
evidence; qualified-counsel signoff; privacy signoff; partner acceptance; role
assignments; executed commercial agreement; signatures; security-policy
acceptance; incident-plan acceptance; support/SLA selection; and change-RACI
acceptance.

### Candidate/technical evidence blockers (11)

Candidate binding; canonical operations closure; exact-commit tests;
module-by-module rollout; bounded liabilities; pull payments; fail-closed APIs;
privacy-preserving chain-specific portability; immutable evidence; pause-safe
refunds/exits; and protected-decision input mutation evidence.

### Generated-file blocker (5)

Five pre-existing `.pyc` files remain under two `__pycache__` directories.
The package gate now rejects them. They were not deleted because this shared
workspace requires preserving existing files. The live aggregate gate
therefore remains blocked until an authorized human removes them; a cache-free
copy passes.

No blocked field may be completed from this package alone.
