I read this as an independent read-only closure audit - I’ll verify the candidate and preseal artifacts, cryptographic identities, runtime/package integrity, manifest bindings, successor postimage behavior, and r26 supersession, then return one unconditional verdict with blocker_count.


The sealed documents and code paths are internally aligned so far: r27 names the requested candidate/package identities, its exact package inventory includes the weekly postimage implementation and verifier, the postimage rewrites `production_preflight.candidate_package_identity`, and r26 is explicitly non-reusable and superseded. I’m now executing the read-only verifiers plus independent inventory, mode, wheel, import, and bind checks.


UNCONDITIONAL PASS — blocker_count: 0
