Current signed candidate — 2026-10-18

Head: 8a5e48a9e04d845f294324d71b673ef915af4d55 (GitHub-verified signature). Protected main and PR base remain 0e09ae555136fb9d433c7294f445e0b656c7e705.

• First hosted failure, preserved: Python Tests & Quality Checks run 39171344162 on prior head 3c646d7... failed static checks in 3.10/3.11/3.12: six E302 and two E231 in two regression-test files.
• Minimal signed remediation: commit 8a5e48a corrects only spacing around six tests and two lambda separators. Diff is restricted to pptl/tests/test_triadic_governance_loop.py and pptl/tests/test_v1_seal_verification.py. No runtime code, scientific record or authorization state changed.
• Exact-head CI: fresh checks initiated for 8a5e48a; preserve distinctions between successful, failed and still-running workflows. Do not inherit prior-head greens.
• Admission: DRAFT / HOLD / UNMERGED / NOT MERGE-AUTHORIZED. Complete hosted CI and eligible non-author technical review remain required. Scientific N=0; independent validation, canonical efficacy and High-Assurance remain unestablished/unauthorized.

Current signed candidate — October 18, 2026

• Head: 8a5e48a9e04d845f294324d71b673ef915af4d55 (GitHub-verified signature), based on protected main 0e09ae555136fb9d433c7294f445e0b656c7e705.
• Same-system CI correction: The first exact-head Python quality failure on 3c646d7... had six E302 and two E231 whitespace findings across two regression test files, repeated on Python 3.10/3.11/3.12. That first failure remains retained.
• Correction commit: 8a5e48a adds blank-line spacing before six tests and corrects the two lambda whitespace separators. The update modifies only pptl/tests/test_triadic_governance_loop.py and pptl/tests/test_v1_seal_verification.py; no implementation/runtime or scientific artifacts are changed.
• Fresh checks: Exact-head hosted workflows were initiated for 8a5e48a. Prior candidate checks do not transfer; the new head must be checked to terminal status before admission.
• Disposition: DRAFT / HOLD / NOT MERGE-AUTHORIZED pending complete exact-head hosted verification and eligible non-author technical review of the entire canonical TGL repair. No independent scientific validation, freeze change, new authority, or efficacy claim.

Prior signed engineering lineage

Purpose

Signed current-main reconstruction of the canonical TGL acceptance repair from historical draft #1347, addressing #1343. Preserves original unsigned lineage as review history; no force-push or protected-main update.

Exact candidate

Commit 3c646d7, GitHub signature VALID, one parent 0e09ae5. Exactly five PPTL implementation/test paths. Source is the final October 18 staged correction reviewed in #1347, not the superseded October 16 export.

Requires complete canonical gate identity/order and coherent KILL prefix, premise PASS/KILL, actual submitted-input SHA-256 equality, and status reduction. Phi PASS with unwired HPG SKIP escalates. Verification/seal accessor exceptions reset TGL runtime and escalate rather than leaving EVALUATING.

Verification

Fresh Windows Python 3.12 PPTL: 204 passed. Staged diff whitespace check PASS. Same-system read-only source review found no critical/important regression. GitHub signature and single-parent main lineage verified.
Exact new-head hosted checks MUST be observed separately; old #1347 CI is not inherited. Historical broad Windows failures remain recorded on #1347, including failures reproduced on untouched main; no broad local all-green claim.

Admission and residuals

DRAFT / HOLD / NOT MERGE-AUTHORIZED pending exact-head hosted checks and eligible non-author review.
Issues #1366 (runner error event retention) and #1367 (same-input context replay design) remain separate. This change is not authenticated origin, nonce/context replay prevention, external exploit assessment, or independent scientific validation.
No freeze, preregistration, authorization, custody, analysis, scientific result or experimental artifact changes.
SCIENTIFIC_N_INCREMENT=0; INDEPENDENT_VALIDATION=NOT_ESTABLISHED; CANONICAL_DGAF_EFFICACY=NOT_ESTABLISHED; HIGH_ASSURANCE=NOT_AUTHORIZED.

2026-10-18 exact-head QA closure — 8a5e48a (same-owner engineering only)

Confirmed: GitHub-reported fresh PR-triggered workflow runs at the signed exact commit 8a5e48a9e04d845f294324d71b673ef915af4d55: 23/23 completed SUCCESS, including the original Python Tests & Quality Checks failure lane across Python variants, Governance CI, PPTL CI, PDMAL Pre-Freeze Runner Validation and the PR Issue-State Keyword Guard rerun after the description reconciliation.

The original first-failure evidence remains available at Python quality run 39171344162 on earlier signed head 3c646d7.... It found six E302 and two E231 static-quality errors in two test files; these were repaired in a separate GitHub-verified signed commit 8a5e48a. That last commit contains only formatting changes in those two regression-test paths. No security assertion, canonical gate logic, runtime state, freeze, trial evidence, scientific output or authorization flag was modified by the formatting correction.

Acceptance boundary: exact-head CI is an engineering gate only. PR remains DRAFT / HOLD / UNMERGED, 0 eligible non-author reviews received, NOT MERGE-AUTHORIZED. An independent human technical review must inspect the full five-path canonical TGL repair, not merely the whitespace commit, and evaluate negative-case behavior, evidence identity, canonical status reduction, fail-closed verifier exceptions and the claim/authority boundaries before any admission decision. No external scientific validation or high assurance is implied. SCIENTIFIC_N_INCREMENT=0; INDEPENDENT_VALIDATION=NOT_ESTABLISHED; CANONICAL_DGAF_EFFICACY=NOT_ESTABLISHED; HIGH_ASSURANCE=NOT_AUTHORIZED.
