I read this as a final read-only release closure audit - I’ll independently verify the candidate/preseal digests, wheel authority receipt and verifier semantics, immutability/reproducibility evidence, and supersession through r37, then return only a pass or concrete blockers.


The static evidence is internally aligned: the receipt now contains the two exact requested full wheel hashes, and the sealed target binds those same artifacts. I’m moving to independent execution and adversarial semantic checks of the immutable verifiers and closure, rather than relying on the recorded PASS fields.


I read this as a final read-only closure decision - the evidence passes hash checks, but verifier closure semantics contain blockers.

**BLOCKED — blocker_count: 2**

1. `verify_package_inventory()` does not enforce an exact file set. An immutable, unlisted file was accepted in an adversarial temporary fixture.
2. The self-excluded `package-manifest.json` is not cryptographically anchored, and the verifier never compares the verified controller closure against `controller_derivation_sha256`. An owner can rewrite controller files and both manifests while retaining verifier acceptance.

Verified clean:

- Candidate: `5135efd248efaf2f56ca42c8c1efb3b4947cf346b01543e05e80b21d7fef0a84`
- Package: `75e9a4fbffa008e9137bd9c3785c8c8183e80cebef4ddcdf565548d11693f6b8`
- Exact wheel hashes:
  - `896e121a6ecc363f73d155fbdd4cfbb0770ad2b00d91ae11024c39729d34f5e2`
  - `4edb6c6355f50efc0635251082fccb81901148ff83392348725fde72d065306b`
- Both wheel build pairs are byte-identical.
- Stale receipt adversarial test is rejected.
- Current candidate and preseal trees are exact, non-writable, symlink-free, single-linked, and bytecode-free.
- Supersession is complete and non-reusable through r37.
- No audited files were mutated.
