I read this as a final read-only code-quality audit - I’ll inspect the candidate’s sealed-profile, authority, socket, and validation paths, then run representative offline gates.


I read this as a read-only final audit - I’m completing targeted verification of revocation, socket, and verifier behavior before issuing severity-ordered findings.


I read this as final audit verdict - reporting captured evidence only and confirming cleanup.

## Overall: FAIL - not releasable as a sealed v36 candidate

### High - FAIL: delivered artifact cannot be independently verified
- Blocker: `.omo/evidence/task26/task26-combined-prefreeze-st_01a0198f-v36/postfreeze-seal.json` is absent.
- `verification-tools/independent_verify_candidate.py` fails preflight on the supplied bundle for that missing file.
- The recorded historical seal hash is `90be8531...`, but no corresponding seal document was supplied. A self-generated replacement seal (`1734a245...`) allowed a reconstructed copy to pass, proving verifier execution but **not** the claimed historical postfreeze state.
- The 394 supplied files exactly match `postfreeze-receipts.../prefreeze-files.json`, and the 43-file receipt seal verifies, but neither substitutes for the required postfreeze seal.

### Medium - FAIL: Ty capability gate excludes the transport-authority method
- Blocker: `gateway/platforms/nutrition_coaching.py:2892`, inside `authorize_delivery_provider_transport()`.
- The raw Ty report contains a major `invalid-argument-type` diagnostic there.
- `verification-tools/task26_ty_surface_gate.py` excludes that method from its selected AST spans, so it reports `capability_diagnostic_count: 0` while the full report contains 810 diagnostics.
- The scoped Ty receipt is accurately labeled as partial, but it cannot support a clean type-safety claim for the transport authorization boundary.

### Medium - INCONCLUSIVE: background revocation coverage
- The PTB update path in `gateway/platforms/telegram.py` correctly leases authority around `application.process_update` and releases it in `finally`.
- The real loopback socket evidence confirms a delivered post-revoke update produced zero handler entries and mutations, with watcher/socket cleanup.
- The supplied evidence does not establish equivalent revocation fencing for already-scheduled nutrition sends, generation/recovery work, and all provider-transport call paths. No unauthorized send was demonstrated, but the release evidence does not close this race class.

### PASS (scoped)
- Prefreeze file bytes match the recorded 394-entry inventory.
- Postfreeze receipt files match their 43-entry `SEAL.json`.
- PTB post-revocation update handling and real-socket watcher cleanup are positively evidenced.
- No separate direct_url, controller/provider, or artifact-forgery defect was confirmed from the captured evidence.

All audit-created disposable `/tmp` roots and outputs were removed.
