 - The retained audit has exactly 15 PASS checks and 134 unique declared artifacts whose final
   bytes match every SHA-256 declaration. It records 749 PASS command events and 1,664 production
-  child/network events (831 STARTED, 831 PASS, and the two expected FAIL terminals), with no
-  rejected surface event. Git runs with fixed safe configuration, an owned empty hooks directory,
-  exact local config/attribute/hook validation, and a fail-closed invocation grammar.
-- The public wrapper now clears the entire ambient environment in its fixed kernel shebang before
-  Bash starts. Pre-guard Git calls derive and validate normal, bare, and linked-worktree repository
-  state, reject executable filter/hook/upload-pack configuration before execution, and use one
-  canonical empty fallback hooks directory; guarded production behavior remains independently fixed.
-- The contextual negatives use a separate `invalid-context` branch, remote, checkout, data,
-  runtime, registry, and second production Fastify listener, all beneath the owned run root.
-  Persisted before/after semantic-state proofs show primary `main` remains valid, a missing-tree
-  publish is state-neutral, and an invalid pull advances only its disposable checkout while the
-  remote and last-valid active/snapshot/data/runtime state remain unchanged.
-- The hash-bound final ownership artifact records both production listeners closed with refused
-  connection checks. Independent final probes found both ports refused and PID 80975 dead. The
-  reachable-object scan covered all four expected repositories (156 objects, 48 blobs) with zero
-  fixture-secret findings; the frozen final filesystem scan covered 600 non-fixture regular files,
-  found no symlinks, and found no fixture-secret findings.
-- Final report hashes: `report.json`
-  `b38e3e89a0c205974cca9cde7f0214f8faf2f8bec178a391a80117064e7296ac`;

+  child/network events, with listener shutdown and refusal checks recorded in the final ownership
+  artifact. Raw Git rejects configured executable diff drivers and other helper-bearing state.
+- Manual production acceptance now binds the complete compiled distribution manifest before serve;
+  imported dependency replacement is refused before RUNNING publication. Snapshot rendering checks
+  the commit-addressed `snapshot.json` digest and refuses regular source replacement. Manual
+  acceptance remains independently controlled and no `VERDICT.md` is created by automation.
+- Final Task 8/9 focused suites pass (48/48 Task 8; 46/46 lifecycle and 5/5 renderer checks when
+  run serially), backend TypeScript/build pass, frontend tests/build pass. Historical harness
+  pytest/Ruff debt remains unrelated to this P1 work.
