I read this as a final read-only privacy/authority audit - I’ll inspect the exact v21 candidate and verify every specified control against source and tests.


I read this as a final read-only audit - I verified the sealed candidate and replayability evidence.

**INCONCLUSIVE**

Confirmed:
- Exact digest `c5c24e...f24d5` is the sole qualified candidate at ledger line 166; prior candidates are revoked.
- Recomputed all 378 frozen evidence hashes, candidate/SEAL bindings, source-tree digest, wheel hashes, and all six postfreeze receipt hashes.
- v20 authority preflight/reconnect protections and v21 event-driven revocation behavior are present; revoked updates stop at the `group=-1000` ingress handler before normal processing.
- All three `chat.completions.create` paths are within the two advisory request flows and set `store=False`.
- External authority is required and checked for activation, service activation, capability issuance, and transport; CLI activation requires the authority pin and candidate digest.
- Isolation evidence contains only `owner` and `customer` roles, with separated private-DM identity. Cleanup, snapshots, and watcher-stop receipts are consistent with the sealed evidence.

Blocker:
- The supplied independent verifier cannot complete read-only now. It requires `/home/cube/.cache/task26-live-revocation-st_01a01574-v21/.../task26_evidence_contract.py`, but that runtime was removed by the recorded cleanup. Its failure is `TASK26_FROZEN_CANDIDATE_FAIL` due to that missing path.
- The revocation “live disconnect” evidence uses a controlled mocked network, not a real Telegram connection.

No product defect was found in the audited code or sealed receipts, but final independent replayability is unavailable; therefore this cannot be a final PASS.
