I read this as a read-only final compliance audit of Task26 candidate `78ec…9538` - I’ll inspect the plan, authoritative ledger entry, source, frozen evidence bundle, and postfreeze receipts, then return a clause-by-clause PASS/FAIL/INCONCLUSIVE without executing anything.

I read this as a read-only Task26 candidate audit - report the sealed-evidence verdict without performing Task27 or release actions.

## Verdict: PASS

**Scope:** Candidate `78ecb799bc2e451f6055d892cb1f3af459dca62f4b8dd80c61ff8a3d43789538` passes the requested candidate/blocker audit. This is **not** Task26 completion, a release verdict, or release authorization.

### Seven-clause blocker evidence

All seven artifacts belong to installed invocation `fb2a9568…`, bind the exact candidate, and form the required hash-linked chain headed by `4d174421…`.

| Clause | Evidence |
|---|---|
| `onboarding_22_clear` | All 22 fields progressed exactly once from 0 to 22 with `reask_count: 0`; Korean `"보통 수준입니다."` canonicalized to `moderate`. |
| `deterministic_ambiguity_revision` | `schedule_constraints` produced stable issue `9c1314ae…` with `multiple_values`; repeated compilation was identical, stale field-zero revision was rejected, and the correctly bound revision cleared the issue and reached customer attestation. |
| `preview_isolation` | Preview remained separately `confirming`; it did not mutate or satisfy the production session, which retained all 22 production answers. |
| `approved_card_projection_gate` | Injected projection failure was observed; capability issuance failed and the delivery ledger remained empty. |
| `unknown_delivery_no_retry` | Unknown provider outcome was durably retained; the second invocation required no transport and did not retry. |
| `successful_lifecycle` | ACTIVE lifecycle, owner review, finalized check-in, approval, one `sent_audited` delivery, exactly one transport call, and duplicate rejection were recorded. |
| `cleanup_resume_terminal` | Cleanup resumed after an injected `copied_verified` fault and committed one terminal journal; active, pending, unknown, and orphan counts were all zero. |

Artifacts: `installed-golden-bundle/task26-evidence/01-…07-*.json`.

### Cross-cutting evidence

- **Authority/provenance:** The 15-event authority chains qualify only this candidate and invalidate exactly seven predecessors; heads are ledger `3dbfc6e…` and registry `8a1d29a…`.
- **Installed/native evidence:** The verifier requires the exact seven-artifact inventory, one invocation, one candidate, and native outcomes. Missing-native, summary-only, semantic forgery, altered installed bytes, fake origins, stale/revoked authority, writable modes, and malformed/lost observer attacks were rejected.
- **Source/install parity:** Relevant current observer, authority, evidence-contract, final-state, parser, and verification-helper bytes match their frozen candidate copies; wheel/source/installed parity receipts pass.
- **Immutable bundle:** 251 v9 files are sealed; directories are `0500`, files `0400`, with zero writable paths and zero symlinks. Postfreeze receipts are likewise non-writable.
- **Observer blocker:** `dnotify_signalfd_v1`, one directory resource, zero inotify watches, five event receipts. It passed while global inotify usage was `130964/131072`, including negative cleanup and lost-notification coverage.
- **Final state:** Frozen and rehydrated verification pass; archive is verified; customer is disabled/nonconsenting; original and temporary runtimes are absent.
- **Quality:** 8,308 gateway tests passed with zero failures across 376 files; profile `749 passed`; parser `196 source + 196 installed`; observer `16 + 16`; final-state/authority/provenance `64 + 64`; static and compile checks passed. Trainer-free, staff-membership, adversarial-room, and customer-surface suites are included.
- **Postfreeze corroboration:** `frozen-independent.json` and `frozen-after.json` are byte-identical (`7ce9bc39…`); rehydration and cleanup receipts both pass.

### Residual risks

- This was a receipt-based, read-only audit; no live customer rehearsal or runtime execution was performed. That is consistent with the August 18 amendment.
- `manual-installed.json` labels 11 cases accepted and 3 ambiguous while reporting `PASS`; the ambiguity branch is deterministically handled, but the manual receipt lacks case-level details and the qualification summary’s `ambiguous_unresolved` name is misleading.
- The source Golden Path is bound to predecessor/source digest `b34b2a…`; exact v9 identity is established by the authoritative **installed** invocation. Source evidence should remain corroborative, not be substituted for installed-candidate proof.
- The ambient source worktree is dirty/uncommitted. This verdict applies only to the sealed candidate/wheel and parity-checked files, not an arbitrary build from ambient working-tree state.

### Task27/release confirmation

**Task27 and release were not performed.**

- The plan still shows Task26 and Task27 unchecked and states **NO-GO** (`dualcoach-production-readiness.md:21,1165,1173`).
- The authoritative ledger contains exactly 158 lines; line 158 records:
  - `task26_complete: false`
  - `task27_started: false`
  - `release_authorized: false`
  - `commit: "none"`
  - `telegram_actions: 0`
  - `live_customer_actions: 0`
- No later ledger entry or Task27/release evidence exists.
- This audit made no edits, commits, service actions, runtime rehydration, Telegram actions, or release actions.
