I read this as an independent read-only verification - I’ll inspect the package and live state, run isolated checks, then write only sibling evidence if every required gate is verified.


I read this as independent verification - I completed it without package or live mutations.

**BLOCKED_DO_NOT_AUTHORIZE.**

- POSIX short-write injection made cleanup return `PASS` with a truncated archive and removed draft; `os.write` byte counts are unchecked. The same flaw accepts partial seal-consumption JSON.
- Direct Ruff fails `EXE001`; workspace LSP has unresolved test imports.
- Otherwise: manifest/seal hashes and modes match; window is open; seal unconsumed; 37,902 live bindings and before/after snapshots match; service remains active PID 1507956; 28 tests pass.
