Independent release-verifier review

PASS. The only replay exception is restricted to C1424 and model/reader_package_verification.json. C1424 iterates a Python set of ZIP members, so the order of its 14 complete link entries can vary across processes. The release verifier first requires the stored report to match the completed record's exact hash and byte length. It sorts only local_links and compares canonical JSON for the complete objects, preserving every value, multiplicity, other field and JSON value type. It then returns the original recorded artifact binding. Original begin/finish metadata, source, result, operation and action-check comparisons remain active.

An independent execution of the actual artifact callback accepts a link-order permutation and returns the exact stored binding. Ten negative cases are rejected: changed target, missing link, added duplicate, same-count replacement by a duplicate, changed origin, changed existence, changed other field, integer-to-float substitution, boolean-to-integer substitution and altered stored bytes. Scope checks confirm that neither an adjacent action nor another artifact receives normalization.

The original verifier remains SHA-256 f413b723b88e4341b3c63996e3e8a3c001b54bc197f32124094c3ca9ae31a91a. The completed C1424 script, journal and generated report remain unchanged. Diagnostic mutations were confined to temporary fixture files. No numbered action was created or rerun through the production writer.

The accompanying JSON contains the exact tests and hashes. This is an unnumbered release reproducibility review. Final acceptance still requires extracted replay of the sealed 300-action ZIP with all six Strategy reviews, original sources unavailable and unchanged extracted payloads.
