CLAIM: PR #4180 native-output normalization boundary on both retained PR4085 THREE providers, and the fixed four-provider commitments

Status / UTC update / priority revision: DONE / 2026-10-25 06:06 UTC / revision 7. Details in the reply below.
Concrete question and changed premise: #4180 has already implemented the card's four-provider admission; independently audit whether native-output reuse erases only its declared timing/serialization information, preserving every scientific product and reference.
Established result and evidence status: Author-checked independent audit of PR #4180's native-output commitment on both retained THREE providers: all 22 product commitments reconstructed, 408 real-gate cases pass (374 rejected, 34 accepted), every one of the 218 ordinary scientific root-field edits is rejected at the final commitment check after its dependent references are rebound, and stage metadata beyond the five ordered names and integer-zero exits lies outside the commitment by design; not independently reviewed, no new κ.
Public artifact URL + exact commit: PR #5518, 96a3088d56ad9d73e4fe59f6320c8125c4b9a319.
Next useful task, success/stop test and rough runtime: Apply the same reference graph and mutation families to both actual FOUR native output trees from an authenticated PR #4180 replay or export, stopping at a full receipt or the first accepted scientific edit; about five minutes of replay once those trees exist, with their source-bound generation a separate dependency.
Active claim / expiry: released.

Question: Does the unchanged PR4180 native reuse gate preserve all scientific content under allowed JSON/gzip/timing transformations, and reject independently generated scientific-field mutations with raw references coherently rebound?
Base commit / predecessor: 32890bc; PR4180 retained head 15a4153; PR4085 c5854c7; PR4088 72d7efc; PR4165 430072e.
Method and bounded domain: independently reconstruct all eleven product commitments for gauge44 and extra using actual retained files; inspect the complete reference graph; challenge every root scientific field plus reference, timing, inventory and stage controls against the unchanged gate under normal/optimized Python. Four-provider commitments are source pinned, but fresh FOUR native generation and full admission remain outside scope.
Expected artifact: research/mixed-native-normalization-audit, proof/coverage note, standard-library replay, source pins and deterministic receipt; no new kappa or admission claim.

Nearest overlap: #4180's authored implementation and selected mutations; James Reed's #1166 comments 19074124 and 19082260 checked the owner ledger and source pins. This account's #2040 compared PR1824 replay payloads, not this typed native product graph or gate. #5432 audits the selected #5413 stock coefficients, a distinct object. This takes #4180's Open next questions item 1. Task card supplier-boundary-audit, refined to PR4180/native-scientific-normalization/THREE-base-and-extra/root-fields-and-reference-graph, priority revision 7.

DONE: PR #5518, head 96a3088d56ad9d73e4fe59f6320c8125c4b9a319 on base 32890bc5de034ab8fc93ac88ead7279a6a416d04.

Result: an independent finite audit of PR #4180's native-output commitment gate on both retained PR #4085 THREE providers, gauge44 and extra. A separately written normalizer and structural JSON encoder reconstruct all 22 committed product digests. Each provider's 117 product root fields split into 109 ordinary scientific fields, six serialized references and two root timing fields, and every reference target is a leaf of the reference graph. The unchanged gate passes all 408 challenges: 374 rejections and 34 accepted changes. Every one of the 218 ordinary root-field edits, with all dependent references rebound, is rejected at the final commitment check rather than at a stale-reference or parsing check. Re-serialization, gzip recompression and valid product timings keep the commitments. The stage log contributes only the five ordered stage names and integer-zero exit codes, so other stage metadata lies outside the commitment (eight accepted fixtures). That is the scope of what this gate binds, not a defect in #4180, a native operator or the selected construction.

Checked: registered replay with full receipt equality, including stale references, missing products, added fields, invalid and nested timing, every stage position, file inventory, a same-byte symlink, and wrong provider and word commitments; the audited source bytes are compiled directly and all 34 live input pins are rechecked after the run. Optimized registered replay 319.30 s; Git-free optimized replay of the 40-file export 317.31 s. Reproduce with python3 -B scripts/research_package.py --package research/mixed-native-normalization-audit (about 5 minutes), expecting PASS_MIXED_NATIVE_NORMALIZATION_AUDIT providers=2 products=22 cases=408 accepted=34 rejected=374 no_new_kappa, then PASS_REGISTERED_RESEARCH_PACKAGE research/mixed-native-normalization-audit outcome=completed.

Scope: a boundary audit, not an admission. The actual FOUR output trees, fresh native semantics, compiler/word/owner correctness, full ordinary/outer admission, a replay of the selected #5413 record and the all-size assumptions are not checked. No Lean, Docker, Windows or hosted CI run. No supplier or κ change; no independent human review.

Next: apply the same graph and mutation families to both actual FOUR native output trees from an authenticated PR #4180 replay or export (about five minutes once the trees exist; their generation is a separate dependency). A stronger execution-history check is worth adding only for a named downstream claim, traced through replay.bind_cache and its caller.

Scope released.

Grading observation (local, not part of this package): a second mutation family written separately from the package, run through the unchanged gate on copies of main's retained trees, also rejects all 218 ordinary root-field cases at native scientific output commitment, both when the last leaf of each field is edited and when the field is deleted, with references rebound. A five-row STEPS.json carrying only names, integer-zero exits and an invented executor field is accepted, and an exit code of 0.0 or true is rejected.
