I read this as an independent production-readiness verification - I will inspect the prescribed evidence and manifests, run only read-only checks against the authorized synthetic profile, and report a confirmed-only verdict.


I found the handoff is stale but the Task 21 closure records the expected candidate and permitted read-only protocol; I have independently matched all 96 candidate file hashes and will now reproduce the archive and Telegram preflight without an offset or a state-changing command.


The archive CLI and provider preflight passed. My first Telegram probe did not accept the handoff's route assumption: a redacted route-shape check failed before any mutation, so I will inspect only route metadata with another no-offset read to distinguish an evidence mismatch from a verifier assumption.


type: cancelled

previous_status: running

reason: Candidate invalidated by two independent HIGH race findings; live preflight must rerun against repaired digest
