I read this as an independent read-only closure audit - I’ll recompute the artifact properties and hashes, inspect every authority binding, and execute the verifier from controller source before returning one verdict.


The closure is structurally immutable on initial inspection. I’m now validating manifest equality/digest algorithms and the r23 controller/bootstrap/launcher chain, then I’ll run the sealed verifier with the mutable worktree excluded from import resolution.


I read this as a completed read-only closure audit - I’m returning the final verdict with exact evidence.

# UNCONDITIONAL PASS

**blocker_count: 0**

Evidence:

- Direct controller-source verifier, with `PYTHONPATH` unset, exited `0` and returned `V15_RUNTIME_AUTHORITY_PRESEAL_VERIFIED`.
- Recomputed package digest: `cd4c2365fbc10366a67e70c3cb7b85320f42b88557d2b712d1f28e6a99502d74`.
- Recomputed candidate digest: `7c12fa192787c5a4d638755174d9291186a891dee35def21148a47e823ca5ed9`.
- Closure digest: `sha256:373852604f702c44dd59c50aec51d3b252da539bae5e067a637b19514ea91f57`.
- Package SHA-256: `d7886d82369b15f98908777b4fcb681de4af2016ee748eab7d114fa3f6a14645`.
- Candidate: 332 files, 22 directories; preseal: 333 files, 20 directories. Files `0444`, directories `0555`.
- Package inventory: 332/332 exact; controller-source inventory: 320/320 exact; zero missing, extra, or mismatched hashes.
- Zero writable entries, symlinks, hardlinks, bytecode, or non-file/non-directory nodes.
- Both wheel builds are reproducible; authority-module bytes match candidate source, controller source, and both Hermes wheels.
- Executor, detached bootstrap, sealed controller, and verifier are r23-bound.
- r20, r21, and r22 digests are explicitly superseded with `approval_phrase_reusable: false`.
- Live authorization root, execution root, and successor runtime root are absent.
