## Verdict
**REJECT**

## Claim Checks
- Reviewed exactly `stage-39-revision.md` at the assignment path. Material references were checked against the current profile and source files; no Architect output was consumed.
- Baseline claims are substantially grounded: the sealed registry is `ordinary_v1` with `virtual_customer` enabled; the canonical event and sequence ledgers contain 44 paired rows; `feature-epoch.json` is epoch 3 with activation true and delivery/analytics/operator-candidates false; the adaptive event journal has terminal proposal revision 7. The cited model, store, projection, reconciliation, and preflight entrypoints exist at the stated locations.
- The planned first import cannot reach its own success criteria on the immutable baseline. Plan line 156 permits an overlap only when the existing terminal is a childless archived `history_imported` root, and otherwise raises `foreign_collision`. The actual 44-row ledger has overlapping terminal correction chains or non-history check-ins on 2026-07-14..20, 2026-07-22..24, and 2026-07-27. Those dates are inside the fixed 2026-06-28..2026-07-27 scenario, so the preflight/classifier must stop with zero writes. This contradicts the planned import, projection counts, reconciliation deltas, and acceptance of a populated generation; the stated `[0,30]` delta range hides a deterministic stop rather than specifying an executable expected result.
- The proposed root-based reconciliation is incompatible with the supported gateway journal API. Current reconciliation has 44 source-day mappings for 44 canonical sequence rows. Production `gateway/platforms/nutrition_coaching.py:6259-6276` requires a unique mapping for every canonical sequence event (`mapped_ids == sequence_ids`). Plan lines 212-215 instead emit one resolution/mapping per correction root and omit incomplete or retracted roots; they also add an unmapped retraction canonical event. The plan modifies only the gateway test module, not this production validator. Import/reconcile/retract would therefore fail the gateway coverage invariant even if import succeeded.
- PARTIAL resume is internally inconsistent with the stated precondition. Plan lines 150 and 241 reassert 44/44 counts, but any clean crash after one or more pair appends leaves a valid pair with totals greater than 44. A retry cannot both require total 44/44 and classify/resume PARTIAL. The condition must be an immutable 44-row prefix plus a recognized suffix, not total row counts.
- The dataset is seeded but not fully deterministic as specified. The recipe does not define exact synthetic provenance/source refs, schema/status, content/payload digest preimages, dedupe roles, rest-day actual macro formulas, training protein/fat actuals, enum-selection mapping, or how base/disruption/recovery weight components compose. `adherent=false, status=adequate` also conflicts with current consumers: `build_snapshot()` counts `status == "adequate"` as adherent, while the canonical derivation emits `inadequate` for an out-of-tolerance actual. Byte-stable golden events and the claimed four non-adherent days cannot be implemented without choices.
- Execution is not exact despite the finding ledger's claim. Phase 5 names `propose()` but supplies none of its required `current_target`, `protein_g`, `fat_g`, schedule/evaluation inputs, and acceptance does not name the expected decision token—it delegates that decision to a future test. This is circular acceptance, not a pinned result.
- The compensation/no-live claims are not closed. Existing source-day mappings are immutable and remain after retraction, while the plan claims the generation is removed from reconciliation. No versioned tombstone/active-view contract is defined. Separately, line 93 modifies the shared `physique-coach` profile contract while line 300 forbids profile modification, and target execution has no fence proving an already-running gateway/scheduler cannot observe the enabled, activation-true profile.

## Missing Evidence
- An immutable-baseline dry classification showing a successful, exact per-offset disposition and exact nonzero append count.
- A production gateway/reconciliation contract that preserves canonical-sequence coverage through corrections, PARTIAL generations, and retractions.
- A complete golden scenario vector (all event fields plus expected scenario/generation/event digests) and an exact expected proposal decision.
- A durable append-only mechanism proving retracted mappings are inactive to every consumer, not merely that a second reconciliation appends nothing.
- A no-live fence or isolation proof for the enabled target profile, and a consistent boundary for the shared profile schema change.

## Approval Boundary
No implementation or target/profile mutation is approved under revision 39. The typed tagged-manifest direction, equality-on-dedupe hardening, exclusive-lock revalidation, and removal of canonical `recover()` from reconciliation are reasonable ingredients, but execution must wait for a revised plan that resolves the actual ledger collision and gateway coverage architecture. Read-only analysis and planner revision remain within scope.

## Summary
- Clarity: Structured and detailed, but several decisive branches still require executor choices.
- Verifiability: Broad test categories are listed; core expected outcomes are either impossible on the baseline or unpinned.
- Completeness: Missing production gateway changes, exact dataset fields, suffix-aware crash preconditions, durable retraction semantics, and complete analysis arguments.
- Big Picture: The root-only mapping model conflicts with the gateway's one-mapping-per-canonical-event authority invariant.
- Principle/Option Consistency: Fail-closed intent is strong, but the chosen overlap predicate guarantees failure; shared-profile modification and persistent derived mappings contradict stated no-profile/retraction consequences.
- Alternatives Depth: The option table is useful but does not evaluate an actually executable treatment of the existing overlapping correction chains or versioned gateway journal migration.
- Risk/Verification Rigor: Crash and tripwire breadth is good; actual-baseline collision, active-service isolation, gateway coverage, and post-retraction consumption are not covered.

## Required Changes
1. Resolve the fixed-window collision against the actual 44-row ledger. Choose a non-conflicting scenario/window or define a safe, typed coexistence policy for existing non-history/corrected days. Pin exact per-offset dispositions and an exact nonzero append count; zero-write `foreign_collision` is not successful target completion.
2. Preserve or deliberately version the production journal invariant. Either retain one source-day authority mapping for every canonical sequence event (including correction, incomplete-generation, and retraction events) while deriving analytical roots separately, or update the production gateway loader/validator plus migration/versioning and tests. Do not change only the test module.
3. Replace total `44/44` retry checks with byte/digest validation of the immutable 44-row prefix plus a formally allowed suffix. Specify how correction terminals and compatible skips belong to a generation, how COMPLETE is reconstructed without the seed plaintext, the exact `root_digests` preimage, and retraction timestamp replay semantics.
4. Fully specify the deterministic event vector: every provenance/status/schema field, actual/target formula and U-field name, enum index rule, weight override/composition, payload/content/dedupe/event-id preimages, candidate ordering, and golden expected digests. Use `status="inadequate"` for non-adherent signals or revise the model and all consumers to enforce another consistent status/adherent meaning.
5. Define append-only derived compensation and runtime active-view semantics so import -> reconcile -> retract demonstrably removes the generation from projection and gateway consumption while canonical coverage remains valid.
6. Give the exact local analysis invocation and acceptance: evaluation/start dates, target/macros, schedule inputs, artifact fields, exact expected decision enum/reasons, calorie delta, projection counts including pre-existing same-day events, and digest preimages.
7. Reconcile the no-live boundary: distinguish source-code contract changes from forbidden profile/runtime mutation, add a controlled shared-schema deployment boundary, and require verified gateway/scheduler quiescence or execute solely on an isolated copied profile that no live process can observe.
