Scope

  • What this PR changes: it records a clean-room audit of the definitive manifest on the 43 foundation slots New WSL definitive defaults: one default per slot from a blind decision round in both model families #591 left open, with a verified deep-dive dossier for each of the 177 candidates. It changes no manifest row and publishes no architecture of its own.
  • Base commit: 4ced2923 (main).
  • History: the preregistration commits were made on claude/definitive-round-20261002 before any decision. They are kept reachable as receipt-revision/860b3480, bd99d15e, e50de81b and e9b272d6, and cherry-picked here onto main.
  • Lane: lane:foundation.
  • Owned paths touched:
    • evidence/artifacts/new-wsl-definitive-round-20261002/ (new)
    • docs/decisions/2026-10-03-definitive-round-audit.md (new)
    • tests/test_definitive_round_compare.py (new)
    • tools/sota-convergence/blind_checkout.py and tests/test_blind_checkout.py: the round's records are withheld from blind checkouts
    • manifests/evidence.json (registration, in the last commit)

Result against the definitive manifest

From audit-of-manifest.json at #602 (675bdd51). The same verdicts hold against main after #620.

Verdict Count Slots
Agree 22
Contest 7 #602 installs nothing for findings publication (codeql-action), GitHub-side agent review (claude-code-action), agent structural diff (sem), route qualification (Phoenix), CI regression gate (promptfoo), dotfiles (chezmoi) and credential verification (trufflehog). These are clean-room picks for the job as stated; they did not weigh overlap with the installed stack. Handed to the manifest owner.
Nominates 4 Loki, Grafana, SocratiCode and agent-browser, for those rows' named measurements
Cross-check 1 Memory: all four adjudicators chose ai-memory. A nomination for #526, not a decision
Pin agree 1 Deep-research harness: gpt-researcher
Pin conflict 1 Agent runtime worker: both families picked openai/codex over the OpenHands SDK pin. The pin stays; the decision is the user's
Not settled 7

Limits are in the decision record:

  • GPT-side skill exposure: codex listed the user's installed skills, which an isolated CODEX_HOME does not hide, to the GPT judges. The GPT vote is therefore not independent on 4 slots; the Claude vote is. The slots are browser interaction (agent-browser), the task-scoped skill pack (trailofbits/skills), findings publication (codeql) and the runtime-worker slots (codex). An audit of all 2,504 GPT shell commands found no read of the other family's records.
  • unequal live web evidence: the GPT judges' searches through the gateway returned nothing;
  • amendment 4, a fix to the comparison script made after the results and disclosed with the pre-fix output kept;
  • adjudicator anonymity;
  • model judgment only.

P1 Badge Withhold all top-level round files from blind exports

When a later lane uses blind_checkout.py at this revision, this glob removes only top-level JSON files despite the comment promising every top-level file. It leaves assemble.py, whose USER_PINS directly names the selected OmniRoute, OpenHands, and GPT Researcher repositories, and build_units.py, whose source-slot keys associate prior candidates with jobs; a supposedly blind reviewer can therefore recover prior selections and contaminate the experiment. Remove all non-dossier top-level round files and test representative .py/.md files.

P1 Badge Record dossier attempts in the assembled run record

When this assembler processes dossier records, they store attempts under writer and nested verification[], not a top-level attempts key, so this condition silently excludes every dossier writer and verifier. The committed run-record.json consequently contains only the 150 decision/critic/adjudication groups and omits the attempts behind all 177 dossiers, although the README says it records every attempt; this loses their exit, duration, and usage evidence and makes the published accounting incomplete. Collect the dossier-specific attempt fields as well.

P1 Badge Preserve each retry's raw return separately

Whenever a model call needs the second attempt, both invocations receive the same raw path, so run() overwrites the first attempt's stdout and stderr with the retry. The committed run record contains three two-attempt jobs, meaning their first raw event streams are no longer among the hashed private originals even though the experiment claims to preserve every attempt; use an attempt-indexed raw path before retrying.

P2 Badge Create the GPT output directory before invoking Codex

On the first GPT call in each fresh stage, last is inside the not-yet-created raw parent directory, while run() creates that directory only after the subprocess exits. Codex therefore cannot write -o, returns no parsed result, and triggers a full expensive retry; the committed record shows this exact Failed to write last message file ... No such file or directory failure for three calls. Create last.parent before starting Codex.

P1 Badge Run the cross-family A/B through promptfoo

This stage implements a bespoke LLM A/B runner over both model families and both candidate orders, but the repository explicitly requires gateway and LLM A/B work to use promptfoo and forbids a self-written runner. Because the definitive outcomes and their evidence were produced by this custom orchestration rather than the required upstream harness, the round does not satisfy the repository's acceptance process and should be rerun through promptfoo with the same frozen inputs.

P1 Badge Preserve the second finalist when one family is split

For an unsettled slot where one critic is split, this expression builds finalists only from the families' surviving picks and therefore drops every candidate represented by the split return. This already corrupts the published document-ingestion result: selection.json lists only F07 as a finalist even though its recorded settling measurement explicitly compares F05 with F07. Preserve explicit finalists from split critics/adjudication rather than deriving them solely from non-null family picks.

P2 Badge Supply a settlement measure for every measurement outcome

If every adjudicator leaves settling_measurement null, this code still emits a measurement outcome with no way to settle it and never falls back to the unit's preregistered deciding comparison. That occurs in the committed results for local-model-server, workflow-engine, and page-text-extraction, leaving three supposedly measurement-bound outcomes without an actionable measurement. Use the unit-level comparison or critic measurements as a fallback, or keep the result explicitly unresolved rather than labeling it as a measurement.

P1 Badge Add a validator-compatible convergence experiment record

For this new convergence audit, the committed run record is not a scoped experiment record accepted by the repository's required validator: python3 scripts/validate_convergence.py evidence/artifacts/new-wsl-definitive-round-20261002/run-record.json --root . --json reports missing required fields, unknown fields, and an unsupported kind, and no other validator-compatible record for the round was added. The convergence claims therefore bypass the mandated artifact-hash, condition, failure-retention, and qualification consistency checks; add and validate the required contract/receipt before treating this as a completed round.

P1 Badge Freeze the assembler that determines the round outcome

The preregistration omits assemble.py from FROZEN, even though that file defines the user pins and the exact logic that converts critic/adjudicator returns into definitive, measurement, and conflict outcomes. A post-result edit to that scoring implementation can therefore regenerate selection.json while freeze.py --check still reports unchanged, without any recorded amendment. Include the assembler's hash in the initial preregistration or amendment chain; the current check cannot establish that the published outcome used the preregistered implementation.

FINDINGS — exact head 08227ebc4432c181c28440745fa0eae2179109ab, frozen base 4ced2923063db6a6dcafa9f25af5ee05a4153c75. The ONE requested Astra/max consequential source read is CLOSED, native exit0, closure observed14:29:04UTC. Root checked the original pinned code/data and independent packet-only source checks; whole-change SOURCE ACCEPT remains held for five P2 findings and two P3 corrections below.

  1. P2: selection-bearing code survives the new blind exclusions. The new patterns remove top-level JSON, the decision document and the comparison test, but retain assemble.py and build_units.py. USER_PINS exposes OmniRoute/OpenHands/GPT Researcher, and the builder names prior definitive slots. These paths survive ordinary exports and directory-reference allowlists. The new fixture covers supplied JSON/doc removal and dossier preservation, with no selection-bearing Python or comparison-test fixture. Exclude the publication's selection-bearing top-level code, preserve dossiers, and cover those actual paths. Generic code pass-through is inherited; this publication introduces the new readable selection content. Source counts:33 top-level files,19JSON excluded/14 retained;177dossier paths preserved. No export/helper/test was executed.

  2. P2: aggregation loses finalists and critic measurement provenance. outcome() retains finalists only from non-null family picks and measurements only from adjudications. The frozen rule also permits critic-named measurements. Actual document ingestion lists onlyF07, while its own measurement comparesF05/Docling withF07/MinerU. Local-model-server, workflow-engine and page-text-extraction publish null measurements. Carry structured finalists and measurement provenance through critics/aggregation; explicitly label unavailable specifications without inventing them. Preserve historical outputs when amending.

  3. P2: unchecked membership can make an arbitrary pick definitive. The critic schema permits a string; acceptance checks equality without field membership or slot-specific NONE permission. On an unpinned slot containing onlyF01, matchingF99 strings reach definitive with null contender; matchingNONE also reaches acceptance for a slot forbidding it. Validate family/adjudicated picks before accepting them. This is a source-provable bypass, not observed corruption or an executed fixture: all86 published family picks and36 adjudication values passed membership/NONE checks, with zero contender mismatches. User-pin downgrade affects three named slots and does not fix this unpinned-slot condition.

  4. P2: “every attempt is kept” exceeds the helper/publication contract. attempt() retries identical arguments, including the raw-output path; run() overwrites stdout/stderr there. The publisher gathers only top-level attempts, omitting dossier writer/verification attempt metadata. Actual public roster:150records/153attempt entries; exactly three GPT tasks have two attempts, both recorded exits0, so their initial parsing/result cause is unknown here. All177 dossier publications and185 verification results omit those attempt fields. Distinct raw paths per attempt and complete dossier attempt metadata are needed; private935hash locators do not supply readable original bodies. Amendment2 says first135 deleted histories were not kept, while run notes claim each deletion logged its attempts. Reconcile the public claims and preserve genuinely unavailable history as unavailable; no private-body loss is independently established by this read.

  5. P2: clean-room/independence wording overstates the historical evidence. Title/lead say clean-room and independently, while limits and run notes disclose GPT installed-skill exposure. The four listed exposure categories are not exactly four votes; runtime-workers contains two slots. Elsewhere independence remains unestablished. Label title/lead as historical two-family source review with GPT skill exposure. Unequal web evidence and partial adjudicator anonymity are disclosed; neither establishes independence.

  6. P3: definitive-result breakdown. Published34+1 should be 33 family agreements + two four-of-four adjudications (deep-research-harness and memory-owner), preserving35 definitive/seven measurement/one user-pin conflict. The34th agreement is the separately classified runtime-worker pin conflict.

  7. P3: release-tag provenance. Every177 at a release-tag wording should distinguish 149 tagged Git revisions,22 untagged Git commits and six pages. The runner supports pages and branch fallback. These are recorded provenance counts, not fresh independent qualification of177 upstream trees.

Bounded SOURCE ACCEPT: all215 owned byte/SHA/Git identities and212registered bindings reconcile, with191 complete-added-file reconstructions from original immutable diff. Against frozen4ced:9631file rows preserve9420base membership/order and9419foreign rows;187receipts/26convergence records unchanged. Category counts reconcile22agree/sevencontest/sevennot-settled/onepin-conflict/onepin-agree/onecross-check/fournominations. The21freeze/amendment inputs bind; recovered pre-amendment4 source proves the disclosed20/9→22/7 post-result change, with pre-fix report retained. It is not result-neutral. No definitive-manifest/default row changed.

Original source-capture failures remain32native0/threeREST403native1 plus the separate processingKeyError1; two native GraphQL recoveries supplement them. The Astra reader's19 source commands all exited0; it executed no tests/repository helper, benchmark, provider/GPU qualification or installation. Terminal CLI-scope only usage, counted once: input1614185/cached-input1462144/cache-write0/output27954/reasoning-output13304; subsets are not added, served identity and provider-complete accounting remain unknown. Private originals, full original comparison-input bodies and historical intermediate runner bodies were outside the frozen packet, so related semantics/execution remain unqualified. Current59f8 carry/hosted gates, all comparative role/default admissions and comparison/freeze HOLD remain separate. Repairs belong to the publication owner; root edits no Claude-lane source.

19 units and 43 open foundation slots of the new-WSL definitive defaults, each asked as a neutral function question,
with every candidate of each unit's field (177 contenders: the frozen #589 packets plus the runtime rows' fields).
Every candidate gets a dossier from its upstream source at its release tag (README read in full, code, packaging,
tests and CI, README claims checked against code), verified once and repaired once on a failed check. Both families
then decide per unit in two orders, a critic per family checks both deciders, and contested slots go to adjudicators
of both families in both A/B orders; a slot adjudication does not settle keeps two finalists and the named
measurement. Every model call runs in a clean room: claude -p in safe and restricted mode, and codex exec with an
isolated CODEX_HOME on the OmniRoute gateway; clean-room.json records the probes. preregistration.json holds the
sha256 of every frozen file, recorded at 2026-10-02T03:04:22Z before the first dossier.

A smoke decision on a toy unit outside the field showed that the Claude CLI's multi-value --add-dir and --allowedTools
flags read the prompt as one more value once clone directories are added, so every Claude decider, critic and
adjudicator would have exited without running. run_round.py now ends the options with "--" before the prompt;
prompts, schemas, models, tools and the decision rule are unchanged. preregistration-amendment-1.json records the
before and after sha256, the smoke results of both clean rooms after the fix, and the gateway rebuild in between. It
is recorded before any decision, critic or adjudication of the round.

…nstead of selecting

The definitive manifest's next version merged (#602) after this round was preregistered against #591; it is the
install record on main and has one owner. Before any packet or decision, the round is retargeted: its output is a
clean-room audit of that manifest on the 43 slots plus the verified dossiers, with no architecture document of its own.

- compare.py: each slot against the manifest row its source_slot names (43 of 43), at #602's merge commit pinned by
  sha256; verdicts agree, contest, nominates, cross_check, pin_agree, pin_conflict and not_settled, fixed before any
  decision exists; 21 manifest rows have no slot and are listed as not covered.
- run_round.py: the packets state the audit's sampling limits (the first five release assets queried for
  attestations; one page of check runs, 13 repositories affected) and read a byte-identical copy of the frozen audit
  observations, so the round no longer depends on the upstream audit's pull request.
- freeze.py --check applies the amendment chain (passes; a mutation of compare.py fails it).
- Run notes: the 135 empty records left by the usage-limit stop were deleted and are being redone.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ation a usage-limit stop ended

Usage-limit stops ended the verifier attempts of 13 dossiers after their writers finished; the frozen runner saved
them without a verification result and skips saved records. reverify.py re-runs exactly the frozen verification loop
(same prompt, model, tools, schema, timeout; at most one repair, none for the two dossiers already repaired once).
Recorded before any packet or decision; freeze.py --check passes through the amendment chain.

…dment 4 (compare.py defect fix)

Both families decided every unit in both orders with critics, and adjudicators ran on the 9 contested slots
(GPT-6 Astra at max through OmniRoute; Claude Opus 5.5 at max in safe mode). 177 verified dossiers.
selection.json: 35 definitive, 7 measurement, 1 user-pin conflict; contamination audit 0 hits.
audit-of-manifest.json against #602 (675bdd5): agree 22, contest 7, nominates 4, cross-check 1, pin agree 1,
pin conflict 1, not settled 7; 21 manifest rows not covered.
Amendment 4, made with the results known and disclosed as such: compare.py read installs_nothing_extra as a NONE
pick, contradicting amendment 2's rule text; the fix turns build-provenance (actions/attest) and dependency-updates
(Dependabot) from contest to agree. The pre-fix output is kept beside the fixed one. Three committed dossier copies
carry 12-character commit hashes for the secret scanner (README).

…round's records from blind checkouts

The decision record states the result against #602 (and unchanged against #620): agree 22, contest 7, nominates 4,
memory cross-check, pin agree 1, pin conflict 1, not settled 7. It frames the contests as slot-level picks that did
not weigh job overlap with the installed stack, and discloses the unequal live web evidence (the GPT judges' searches
through the gateway returned nothing), amendment 4 and the adjudicator-anonymity limit. run-notes.json carries the
timeline, the ordering that kept a family's decisions away from the other family's deciders, and usage.
blind_checkout.py withholds the round's top-level records and its decision record; the dossiers stay.

…read audit

An audit of all 2,504 GPT shell commands found no read of the other family's records, but codex listed the user's
skills (~/.agents/skills, which an isolated CODEX_HOME does not hide) and its own system skills to the GPT judges.
Four slots carry a GPT vote that is not independent of the user's installed tools: browser interaction
(agent-browser), the task-scoped skill pack (trailofbits/skills and others), findings publication (codeql) and the
runtime-worker slots (codex's own skills). The Claude side ran in safe mode without skills. The web-evidence note
now states that the Claude search results are not retained and that the live web names this repository's picks.

FINDINGS STAND at head 5fdeec3fecacbae3ddbfd1162670071d4a74350b, base/main 59f8a1e36e1f2870d9de18a16c42f1e72cdae1c6.

I re-read the complete 08227ebc4432c181c28440745fa0eae2179109ab → this head delta. It changes only .github/workflows/validate.yml and its manifests/evidence.json binding: the workflow now matches current main's 60-minute timeout, and its recorded byte/hash binding matches the full original Git bytes. The previous integration snapshot difference is cleared here.

All primary source inputs cited by the seven prior findings retain their exact Git identities. That verdict's five P2 and two P3 findings therefore remain open at this head:

  1. Selection-bearing code survives the blind exclusions.
  2. Aggregation loses structured finalist/provenance information required by the frozen rules.
  3. Matching labels are accepted without candidate/slot validation.
  4. The public attempt-custody claim exceeds the implemented recording and overwrite contract.
  5. Independence claims exceed the disclosed GPT exposure.
  6. The definitive-slot agreement/adjudication breakdown is misstated.
  7. The provenance claim treats non-tag Git and page sources as release-tag evidence.

Independent checks bind all 215 PR source paths, 214 unchanged owned Git identities, all 212 registered owned payloads, and every finding's primary input. The complete registry preserves all 9,419 foreign main rows/order, 187 receipts and 26 convergence records. Native source observations retain 18 exit0 and the initial GraphQL alias-conflict exit1, followed by its corrected request; a separate root processor misclassified two commit records as blob records and was corrected before normal verification completion.

Whole-source ACCEPT remains held. This is a source/integration read; the main carry does not establish a new blinded trial, runtime role, default, installation or required-CI acceptance. No second Astra invocation or private provider-body read was used for this unchanged finding set.

…CI of #663

The GPT-6.1 Sol review found four blocking and five non-blocking defects; CodeQL flagged compare.py's URL matching and
a repository test found a quoted betterleaks inline-allow marker. Made with the results known and disclosed as such;
no outcome status or verdict changes.
- assemble.py: an undetermined family's decider picks join the finalists (document ingestion now lists Docling and
  MinerU, the pair its measurement compares); the run record keeps every dossier call (177 groups).
- compare.py parses URLs (output byte-identical); freeze.py rejects an amendment that re-adds a frozen file.
- blind_checkout.py withholds every top-level file type of the round folder (assemble.py names the user's pins), with
  the dossiers kept; the test covers assemble.py and the README.
- The decision record corrects the split of the 35 definitive slots (33 agreed, 2 adjudicated), states the dossier
  revision mix (148 tagged, 23 untagged snapshots, 6 pages) and discloses the runner defect that cost three GPT calls.
- The betterleaks dossier copy writes the quoted marker as betterleaks[:]allow.

Cross-family review and repair (Claude session sota-architecture-unified-catalog, 2026-10-03T15:35Z)

The review. GPT-6.1 Sol at max, through the OmniRoute gateway, read-only, on a clean checkout of 5fdeec3f. It reported 4 blocking and 5 non-blocking findings. CI separately flagged CodeQL py/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization in compare.py:48 and a quoted betterleaks inline-allow marker in one dossier (test_no_suppression_channel_that_only_betterleaks_reads). I verified each finding against the source before repairing it.

Disposition, all in 7cb90213. Every fix after the results is recorded as amendment 5 and disclosed as such. No outcome status or verdict changed.

# Finding Disposition
1 B The blind export kept assemble.py, which names the user's pins, and the README Every top-level file type of the round folder (.json, .py, .txt, .md) is now withheld; the dossiers are kept. The test covers assemble.py and the README.
2 B The run record left out the dossier calls assemble.py now writes writer, repair, verification and lost-verification attempts: 177 dossier groups.
3 B Document ingestion lost a finalist (only MinerU) An undetermined family's two decider picks now join the finalists, so it lists Docling and MinerU, the pair its settling measurement compares. This is the only slot that changed.
4 B The runner created the codex answer folder after the call Confirmed: 3 GPT calls retried, at a cost of 1,763 s, 2.37M input and 43K output tokens. The answers come from the retries. Disclosed in run-notes.json (runner_defect) and the record; run_round.py is kept as it ran.
5 The record split 35 definitive slots as 34 agreed + 1 adjudicated Corrected to 33 agreed + 2 adjudicated (deep-research harness and memory).
6 freeze.py let an "added" entry replace a frozen file It now rejects that; no committed amendment used it.
7 "At its release tag" overstated coverage Now 148 at a tagged release, 23 at a snapshot without a tag, and 6 from page sources.
8 Run notes said GPT searches returned nothing Now "nothing except 2 items in adjudication".
9 Amendment 4 omitted that compare.py reads units.json Corrected in amendment 5; amendment 4 itself is not edited.
CI CodeQL URL matching; the quoted marker norm() now parses URLs, and the audit output stayed byte-identical. The dossier copy writes the marker as betterleaks[:]allow (README).

Confirmed by the review. Amendment 4's scope holds: reverting it changes only attest and Dependabot. freeze.py --check returns unchanged. All 211 registrations match their bytes. The usage totals reconcile, and no private data leaked.

Checks on 7cb90213. The targeted tests pass, as do the betterleaks marker test, the three registry tests and validate.py. Every local validate.yml step exits 0 except the helper's final-catalog step, which does not apply on main.

Exact-head delta verdict: FINDINGS at 7cb9021391c12be7c7288a045263b8f85b01ddfd, against main/base 59f8a1e36e1f2870d9de18a16c42f1e72cdae1c6. I read the actual 5fde→7cb changes and the affected original inputs. This updates my seven findings in 5970211910; the owner's nine-item repair list is a different list.

Closed: F1's blind-export omission is repaired by the expanded top-level exclusions. F6's split is corrected to 33 family agreements + two four-of-four adjudications, with the pin-conflict agreement counted separately. F7's 148 tagged / 23 untagged / six page sources is supported by the now-explicit rule that every repository of a multi-repository candidate must be tagged. scip-code/scip is the one difference from the earlier top-level 149/22/6 count. I am not treating that changed definition as a count error.

Four medium/P2 findings remain, two with substantial partial repairs:

  • F2, partial: Docling/F05 is restored alongside MinerU/F07, and that is the only recorded finalist change. assemble.py L72–75 still takes the settling measurement only from adjudications and discards its provenance. The frozen decision rule L11 permits critics or adjudicators. The committed local-model-server, workflow-engine and page-text-extraction measurement outcomes still have null settling measurements. Preserve the named critic/adjudicator measurement and source/order attribution, or state the unresolved absence explicitly in the output contract.
  • F3: family_picks L435–441, the unconstrained critic field L12, and outcome L63–77 still allow matching non-member keys to become definitive with a null contender; NONE also bypasses a slot's prohibition. Validate membership and the actual slot policy before definitive assembly. This is a source counterexample, not a new execution or a claim that an invalid key appeared in the recorded outcomes.
  • F4, partial: The record now adds 177 dossier groups to the prior 150 judge groups, retains the 935-entry hash roster, and candidly discloses the three overwritten GPT streams and retry cost. Those are useful repairs. The README's every-attempt claim and run-notes' each-deletion claim still exceed amendment 2's explicit unavailable history for 135 records. Bound the archival claim to retained attempts/metadata and mark unavailable originals/history. Keep the as-run runner and its disclosed overwrite defect historical; require distinct per-attempt output custody before reuse. I have not inspected the private original bodies or independently observed the reported historical loss.
  • F5: The title/lead's clean-room independent framing and the four-slots assertion still overstate the recorded exposure limits. These are four exposure categories; the runtime-workers unit contains agent-runtime-worker and deep-research-harness, so it covers five slots. The live-web asymmetry and unretained search results also limit independent blindness. Carry those qualifications into the lead and affected votes; they remain source judgments/nominations requiring destination acceptance.

Custody: all 35 returned native capture exits were 0; a separate pre-command processing syntax failure is preserved. Root verified all 27 complete changed old/new blobs, all 216 PR payload byte/SHA/Git bindings, 202 unchanged OID references and 213 registered bindings. Passing unchanged source evidence and the earlier consequential Astra findings were reused where the affected inputs still match; no new model run or repository/helper test was performed for this delta. Owner-reported checks and historical execution remain separate from this verdict. The post-result amendment 5 is disclosed; it does not turn these corrections into preregistered outcomes or qualify defaults on NativeStack2604.

Closed with a record by the PR triage of 2026-10-07 (the command center's ruling, item review-ns2604-coop-20261007T023012Z (the command center's PR-triage ruling of 2026-10-07; proposal by github-ci-finalize, triage-20261007.json)). Not merged; the branch claude/definitive-round-audit-20261003 stays on origin at 7cb9021.

What it holds: docs/decisions/2026-10-03-definitive-round-audit.md; evidence/artifacts/new-wsl-definitive-round-20261002/ (211 files, 177 candidate dossiers); tools/sota-convergence/blind_checkout.py (modified); tests/test_definitive_round_compare.py (new), tests/test_blind_checkout.py (modified)

Superseded by: Overtaken by later manifest decisions: it audits the definitive manifest pinned at 675bdd5 (#602), which 652c15a (#620, the 89-slot layer consensus) had already revised; 3e343ba (#702, layer consensus wave 2) and 1796303 (#713, final architecture round 2 on the repository-quality rule) re-decided it before the NativeStack2604 install. (confidence: low: inference; no landed record cites #663 or adopts its contests or dossiers)

Reopen trigger: The definitive manifest is re-audited clean-room by both model families, or a slot contest needs the 177 candidate dossiers (the adoption synthesis and grand-catalog may cite them from this branch at the pinned commit). Reopen with gh pr reopen 663.
