I read this as executing the one-use r71b candidate-r3 sealing workflow exactly from its recovery manifest, with fail-closed evidence and no source or live mutations - I’ll first validate the time/freeze/tree preconditions, then run only the manifest-authorized package steps and verify the retained artifacts.


Preconditions are satisfied: the UTC deadline is still open, freeze134 and authority hashes match, current preparation/overlay inputs are exact, and every authoritative r3/preseal/permission/rehearsal/action/live root is absent. I’m starting the one-use input construction and seal now; any digest or inventory mismatch will stop the workflow without reuse or cleanup of retained evidence.


The authoritative preseal preparation failed closed at `target_topic59_projection` after the candidate sealed successfully. The preseal and permission names are now occupied by partial one-use artifacts, so I will not delete, repair, or reuse them; I’m collecting read-only state and producing the required blocker receipt rather than attempting a second preparation.


I read this as delivering either the authoritative r71b package or a fail-closed blocker - the blocker receipt is complete and immutable.

`BLOCKED_FAIL_CLOSED`: current Topic-59 ledger had zero projections for `2026-09-02`; exactly one was required.
