I read this as an independent verification - I will recompute the candidate's declared integrity and reconciliation evidence without modifying or running the application.


I read this as an independent verification - I recomputed the sealed candidate's integrity without modifying source, profile, archive, or candidate.

## PASS

No mismatches found. This is an evidence-integrity PASS, not a Task26 release/pass claim: the candidate remains explicitly `SEALED_SUCCESSOR_CANDIDATE_NOT_TASK26_PASS`.

- Candidate immutability: 6 directories at `0500`; 16 files at `0400`; 0 symlinks, hardlinks, unsupported entries, or mode violations.

Commands included an isolated bundled-verifier execution:

```sh
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX="$tmp/pycache" \
HOME="$tmp/home" XDG_CACHE_HOME="$tmp/cache" UV_OFFLINE=1 \
NO_PROXY='*' no_proxy='*' \
python3 -B "$C/verify_candidate.py" "$C/verifier-input.json"
```

It exited `0`; stdout SHA-256 was `d47f619c86be7e1283935bb60ff9abf7966fd754b1da9e979b9051768201d374`; stderr was empty; isolated cache cleanup was `true`.

Current status was recomputed with:

```sh
GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 git -C "$S" -c core.preloadIndex=false \
  -c core.untrackedCache=false status --porcelain=v1 -z --untracked-files=all
```

No services were started/stopped; no network, Telegram, provider, archive/profile/source/candidate writes, or Git mutations were performed.
