I read this as an evidence-provenance verification task - I will inspect the immutable candidate graph read-only, recompute the prescribed safe checks, and write only the requested Task26 receipt.


I read this as a final immutable-candidate provenance review - verification is complete and the requested receipt is written.

**PASS** - provenance integrity only; candidate remains `NOT_TASK26_PASS_OR_RELEASE_AUTHORITY`.

- Candidate `653cc2f0...c7a723`
  - Manifest `23b72148...2fca26`
  - Checkpoint `6acc31bd...bd4be`
  - Freeze `07873d35...0384ed`
  - Wheel `af4a9d0a...f141b` (860 members)
  - Closure `c3e443f0...54380`; 2,374 current-source entries, 0 mismatches
  - Status `ca1ce270...95478`, 1,294 entries, pre/post identical
- Predecessor `3b42723d...5d527` is superseded. Exact sole delta:
  `gateway/status.py` `7a04d81f...c5115` -> `8641bae4...d308c`;
  delta hash `f3820c5f...71355`.
- Archive binding `b6f459ad...d3613`; archive digest `644d74b0...43bcf`; manifest/receipt hashes `ca481144...84c1` / `e81a84a...7fb3`; all 23 scopes bound.
- Task22-25 reconciliation index `7594fcfc...9db2f`; all four current indexes equal immutable copies and are explicitly historical-only/non-retargeted.
- Gate receipts PASS:
  - Gate18 `589223e0...14e5a`
  - Gate19 `00bdaf01...fd688`
  - Gate20 `643970f3...2d541`
- Read-only verifier passed again after receipt creation.

Drift: immutable candidate, status, wheel, closure, and reconciliation copies have zero drift. The legacy Task24/25 candidate has 7 current-source mismatches; it is historical-only and not an edge in the 653 current-source graph.

Receipt: `.omo/evidence/task26/task26-provenance-final-653cc2f0.redacted.json`
Receipt SHA-256: `b0a387bb2d8d1673d8fd8b3f0a2ccfc50d86166e812a2b4357ef7397ecd3f225`

Only that receipt was written (mode `0600`). No source, profile, runtime, archive, service, network, Telegram, provider, or Git action occurred.
