STATUS began with dated candidate narratives, making it difficult to distinguish the latest observed source cut from older uses of “current.” Add a time-stamped handoff with the twelve observed commits, exact proof and quarantine boundaries, Layer A invariants, scoped component commands and the remaining G0–G11 gaps. The earlier STATUS history remains byte-for-byte after the new section.

The handoff says its source observation is non-atomic, a later Main merge requires a fresh Workspace pin comparison, and the available commands are not a final gate matrix or completed STATUS-only cold start. The #695 historical catalog is not admitted as a current quarantine set; the determinant companions and Main formal receipt retain their exact limits. The first current-site deployment failure is recorded; its later retry completed public-byte observation and is separately retained. No mathematical or scientific disposition changes.

Validation on candidate tree c1a05a5a8f156cdc211cecafa73fca610e40ba9a, hosted head 54034d8b81f557dd38a7b41606054314e94fdd39 and tested merge 1311a3a1e613be260ab10fe8d768fcc089ded383:

• Reader-link controls passed 79 tests per mode without skips. The five documented shell blocks parse; the vector snippet succeeded on the observed local cut and refused existing output and missing input. The initial incorrect four-block expectation remains recorded.
• All 13 check runs observed so far completed successfully. Independent artifact readback verified 59 named formal targets with empty axiom lists and 18 rejected controls, 767 Node tests and 33 helper controls per mode, and 363 architecture tests per mode. Navigation ran 2,620 tests with 24 explicit skips, followed by 20 history controls and one optimized graph-binding control; those skips remain skips.

These are scoped source-specific checks. The complete fresh-clone exercise, full no-skip federation regression and final same-pass G0–G11 remain open; neither CBZ-0 nor terminal Partial is claimed.
