I read this as an independent adversarial qualification audit - I will inspect the sealed candidate and prior evidence, reproduce every required verification without modifying product files, and report confirmation only if every gate passes.


The audit has already found two seal-integrity concerns: the candidate includes uninventoried artifact `.gitignore` files and a delivery-excluded `verify_nutricoach_v140_candidate_checks.py.orig` in its source digest. I will continue the required execution to establish the complete blocker set.


I read this as an independent verification request - I am completing the remaining non-destructive gates and recording the qualification decision.

**Not qualified; no confirmation issued.**

Hard blockers:
- Physical seal has uninventoried `.gitignore` files and an unbound `qualification.json`.
- Isolated gateway run: 16 failed files across 7,749 nodeids.
- Broad static checks: 18,026 basedpyright errors, 1,491 ty diagnostics, 39 suppressions.
- Source inventory includes an unshipped `.orig` that differs from the worktree.

Passing evidence includes exact candidate verifier, default-OFF (22 passed), profile suite (1,035 passed), Golden Paths/E2E, migration rollback, Ruff, and compileall.

Decision: `task-12-independent-verification/final-qualification-decision.json` (SHA-256 `f027fdb7...481b5604`).
