# Eighth independent audit closure

Date: 2026-08-26

## Truth state

The package remains **blocked**. `partnerReady=false`, `pilotReady=false`,
`v2Default=true`, and active design partners remain zero. This closure records
source controls and tests only. It does not claim legal advice, legal-entity
formation, partner acceptance, audit certification, deployment, wallet use, or
signing.

## Finding closure

- **H-01 — closed in source:** a separate candidate-bound seed precommitment,
  nonzero/high-diversity opening, exact structured and unique corpus, canonical
  exact-commit runner, resolved raw execution output, transcript derivation,
  timestamp ordering, and exact assigned independent-reviewer signature are
  mandatory.
- **M-01 — closed in source:** human and legal trust domains must have distinct
  files, digests, authority IDs/classes, administrator IDs, and Ed25519 keys.
  Raw registry bytes are independently resolved and hashed; exact entity,
  issuer, query, and time semantics are cross-bound; response IDs are derived.
- **M-02 — closed in source:** every objective output and assertion is a unique,
  typed, tracked, candidate-bound artifact. Raw assertion bytes are nonempty
  and hash-verified, and objective-specific evidence types, participants,
  channels, and timestamps are checked.
- **L-01 — closed in source:** one conservative `ROUND_CEILING` is applied to
  the complete high-precision Hoeffding expression. The reported boundary
  vector now produces 101 bps.

## Verification

- Five named eighth-generation regressions pass.
- Normal suite: **183 passed, 0 failed**.
- Optimized suite: **183 passed, 0 failed**.
- Eighth focused harness, normal and optimized: **29/29 secure; 29 rejected,
  0 accepted**.
- Strict JSON: **56 files parsed**.
- Package and organizational gates: two deterministic runs each.
- `git diff --check`: passed.
- Cache/generated check: zero `.pyc`, `.pyo`, or `__pycache__`; zero symlinks.
- No install, commit, push, deployment, RPC, wallet, or signing occurred.

Older independent harnesses were also executed. Their attack expectations
remain covered by the package regressions. Some older positive/static fixtures
now report rejection because the strengthened schemas intentionally require
new raw-response, administrator, incident-output, seed-precommitment, and
execution-output fields; those stale fixtures are not readiness evidence.

## Remaining external blockers

The 14 named human blockers remain open: actual contacts, authorized
signatory, change-RACI acceptance, commercial agreement, counsel signoff,
incident-plan acceptance, insurance, legal entity, partner acceptance, privacy
signoff, role assignments, security-policy acceptance, signatures, and support
SLA selection.

Positive readiness also requires genuine separately administered human and
legal trust roots, actual authority administrators, externally attested named
roles and keys, candidate-bound exact-commit privacy execution evidence with
independent review, and candidate-bound incident objective/assertion evidence.
None has been fabricated.
