I read this as an independent read-only release verification - I will audit the sealed package and live bindings, run the required non-mutating checks and fault probes, then write only sibling evidence if every gate is proven.


I read this as an independent read-only release verification - the package is blocked from authorization.

**DO_NOT_AUTHORIZE**

Blockers:
- Manifest is incomplete: 65 declared files vs 66 actual; it omits `package-manifest.json`.
- 19 cache/pyc artifacts lack non-delivery roles.
- One of 37,902 live bindings drifted: `scheduled-deliveries.jsonl`.
- Direct Ruff reports 7 diagnostics.
- Sealed preflight contains two redacted phone-shaped PII candidates.

Evidence: `/home/cube/.hermes/migrations/nutricoach-v1.4.0-weekly-operations/cleanup-independent-verification-r3-20260826T-YFr0qn/`

No package/live mutation, archive creation, approval creation, or seal consumption occurred. Package tests (65), boundary probes (22), and independent fault matrix (36) passed; these do not override the blockers.
