I read this as a final read-only r34 authority/rollback audit - I’ll inspect the sealed/live bindings, adversarial and rehearsal evidence, transition state, and filesystem roots, then return an unconditional verdict with blocker_count.


The rehearsal summary is 13/13 PASS; I’m now tracing the exact r34 manifest loader and sealed/live authority values, then checking Task26 and the non-evidence runtime roots independently.


The prior blocker is not fully closed: weekly authority, protected paths, and external root/pin/candidate paths are exact-bound, but created-file and created-directory inventories are only subset-checked. I also found both explicitly forbidden r34 runtime roots still present; I’m completing the final evidence cross-check before issuing the verdict.


I read this as the final r34 audit verdict - I found one release-blocking rollback-authority defect.

**VERDICT: FAIL**
**blocker_count: 1**

Blocker: `load_recovery_manifest()` only checks `created_files` and `created_directories` with `issubset()` (`nutricoach_v150_concrete_host.py:455-456`). An adversarial manifest can omit rollback-owned paths and still load, preventing complete cleanup. These inventories must equal the sealed/live expected sets, not merely be subsets. The adversarial suite lacks omission/substitution coverage for these fields.

Verified passing:

- Weekly authority exact-path check.
- Exact protected-path set check.
- External authority root/pin/candidate paths bound to sealed target.
- Adversarial receipt: 11/11 PASS.
- Candidate-policy rebind and runtime enforcement.
- Candidate-specific weekly authority root.
- Task26 successor/rollback transition; live authority remains predecessor.
- Rehearsal report: 13/13 PASS, zero external events, live source unchanged.
- Relevant r34 execution and successor runtime roots are absent. Sealed preflight/package artifacts remain as expected.

Read-only audit; no mutation performed.
