I read this as a read-only runtime audit - I will inspect the dependency snapshot, r28 candidate/runtime wiring, rehearsal evidence, and repository state, then return an unconditional verdict and blocker count.


I read this as a read-only runtime audit - I completed the r28 checks without network or mutation.

**VERDICT: PASS**
**blocker_count: 0**

- Candidate `1128e376...382c528` cryptographically validates; sealed target, manifest, wheels, and frozen controller closure agree.
- Snapshot digest matches sealed binding `aa268b46...eb2e89c`; exact inventory includes `telegram` and `python_telegram_bot-22.6.dist-info`.
- Snapshot exports real `telegram.ext.TypeHandler` (`telegram.ext._handlers.typehandler.TypeHandler`), version `22.6`; direct no-bytecode import confirmed it is not `typing.Any`.
- `install_dependency_snapshot()` copies all four frozen trees with `copy2`, then requires installed full-tree digest equality before startup.
- The install precedes switch/start; successor local site-packages wins over inherited packages, while the adapter's `getattr(..., Any)` receives the exported class. Thus the fresh r28 runtime cannot take the `Any` fallback at service start.
- Detached loader verifies immutable inventory/closure, sets exact wheel-first `PYTHONPATH`, and execs the frozen worker with bytecode disabled and network namespace verification.
- Rehearsal report: 13/13 PASS, `external_events: 0`, `live_source_unchanged: true`.
- Predecessor service is active/running on `6c9c4394-v132`. r28 successor, execution, and authorization roots are absent. The immutable r28 preseal package is present as expected.
