I read this as a final read-only authority audit - I’ll inspect the r42 report and underlying evidence, independently verify every stated invariant, and return only an unconditional pass or concrete blockers with a count.


The report is structurally 13/13 PASS with zero external events. I’m now cross-checking its authority claims against the sealed manifests, predecessor bytes, production authorization namespace, and the concrete Task26/weekly runtime contracts rather than trusting the summary alone.


UNCONDITIONAL PASS

blocker_count: 0

Verified read-only:

- r42 rehearsal: 13/13 unique cases PASS; `external_events: 0`.
- Candidate/package/report digests match; all 331 manifest inventory entries hash correctly.
- Exact live predecessor is r39 (`21c4560e...`), including authority heads and current runtime binding.
- Capacity is exactly 5.
- Weekly authority uses candidate-specific successor binding.
- Task26 has durable paired-chain WAL recovery and predecessor rollback; current WAL is clean.
- All four mutable r42 roots are absent: successor runtime, weekly authority, execution, and authorization ledger.
- No r40/r41 authorization or execution roots exist; their preflight packages are not authorization.
- No mutation performed.
