I read this as a final read-only authority audit - I’ll inspect the r39 rehearsal artifacts and bindings, verify every named condition, and return an unconditional verdict with blocker_count without modifying anything.


The report itself is structurally PASS at 13/13; I’m now cross-checking that claim against the candidate authority receipt, snapshot source, live unit/drop-in, recovery artifacts, and required absent roots rather than relying on the summary alone.


The predecessor live state is clean: the service is still bound to `1128e376...`, the Task26 WAL is absent, and both r39 authorization/execution roots are absent. I’m completing the audit by comparing r39’s recovery-manifest implementation against r38 and independently validating its exact path/inventory equations.


I read this as the final read-only r39 authority audit - all requested authority gates passed.

**UNCONDITIONAL PASS**
**blocker_count: 0**

Verified:

- Recovery manifest enforces exact protected, created-file/directory, weekly-authority, and Task26 authority/pin/candidate paths; omission and substitution fail closed.
- Capacity rebinds to 5 and candidate `21c4560e...`; weekly authority targets `data/weekly-operations-authority-21c4560efd5abf93`.
- Task26 successor qualification is WAL-protected and occurs before systemd switching; rollback restores predecessor authority.
- r39 rehearsal report is **13/13 PASS**, with zero external events and live source unchanged.
- Candidate inventory: 331 hashes checked, zero mismatches.
- Preseal inventory: 566 entries, exact set, zero hash or immutability violations.
- Production remains predecessor-bound at `1128e376...`, with 18 registry events/ledger rows and no transition WAL.
- Successor runtime, candidate weekly authority, r39 execution root, and r39 authorization root are absent.

No mutation performed.
