# Task12 r9 independent qualification

## Verdict

**CONFIRMED — `QUALIFIED_PENDING_LIVE_AUTHORIZATION`** for candidate `e15933d89058750287e5cab71fa4c20cda4176d249e4bfeb8f12d249daf49b5b`.

No live authorization, deployment, publication, network operation, or installation was performed.

## Material checks

- The candidate verifier passed before and after the audit. Final physical recheck found 353 manifest-controlled regular files, all hashes/modes valid, and an exact path-set match.
- Four copied-seal attacks were rejected: content mutation, rogue file, mode relaxation, and malformed manifest.
- Both sealed build pairs are byte-identical. Every wheel has one valid RECORD; all RECORD digests and ZIP CRCs validate.
- Pure-LOC rules hold: no new module exceeds 250 LOC, no legacy module increases, authority is 243 LOC, binding is 33 LOC, and `nutrition_coaching.py` decreases by one LOC.
- Static delta attribution found zero basedpyright and ty diagnostics on candidate-added/replaced lines; no suppressions were added. No-excuse results are exactly 1651 -> 1627, with zero new and 24 resolved. Ruff, compileall (890 Python files), and LSP checks passed.
- Source and wheel-staged Golden Path runs passed and normalized to the same 22-step / 12-fault semantic result. The explicit privacy-negative fixture was rejected by artifact verification.
- Migration is dry-run-only, appends no legacy data, and rollback restores the disposable tree byte-identically.
- Tests passed: verifier 6, Golden 10, profile 1040, weekly 286, affected gateway 165, Todo11 12 concurrent processes x 8 tests, Todo5 transfer seams 40, and 24 direct acquisition/registration interruption probes with zero FD leaks.
- The isolated gateway collection found 7,751 nodeids. Execution covered all 7,751. Its 11 failing files exactly match the sealed r9 baseline-classification receipt; candidate-only and unclassified failures are zero.

The inherited Todo5 r9 rejection is superseded for this candidate: its protected production hashes differ from `e159...`; this candidate uses `ResourceRegistrar.open_fd` transactions that close on `BaseException`, which the direct 24-case probe and 40 transfer-seam cases exercised.
