I read this as hands-on QA verification - I will inspect the final artifacts and run only non-mutating checks, then report concrete results.


I read this as hands-on QA verification - I completed read-only final-state checks.

**PASS**

- `verify_lifecycle_seal.py --inventory-only` -> exit 0, `PASS` (11 checks); lifecycle seal remains `50e7556e...`.
- `verify_successor_seal.py` -> exit 0, `PASS` (64 checks); cleanup seal remains `84d937ef...`.
- `cleanup_controller.py verify` with the sealed exact arguments -> exit 0, `PASS`; 67 archived entries, clean baseline confirmed.
- `independent_verify.py` -> exit 0, `PASS` (79 checks).
- `hermes_cli.main --profile dualcoachtest gateway --help` -> exit 0; `checkin_cli.customer_admin --help` -> exit 0.

Observed poststate:

- Archive manifest `c8ef345f...` contains exactly one delivery row: `sent_audited`, message `232`, idempotency key `40f246...0f3f`.
- Screenshot attestation is seal-bound: exactly one delivered paragraph and persistent keyboard; no screenshot bytes or customer answers retained.
- Config: `enabled=true`, `delivery_enabled=false`, `activation=false`, `delivery=false`, mode `0664`.
- Live registry/customer/onboarding/owner-action scopes, gateway state/PID/locks, state DBs, jobs, output, and sessions are absent.
- Profile-bound process scan: none. `systemctl --user show` -> exit 0: `inactive/dead`, `MainPID=0`. `systemctl --user is-active` -> expected exit 3 (`inactive`).
- Task26 runtime locks are absent; no future publications/jobs remain.
- `physique-coach` full inventory remains unchanged: 38,604 entries, SHA-256 `258fd0ff...155fe247`.

No service start, Telegram action, state mutation, or sleeps were performed.
