Continue development, inspect the repository for bugs/inconsistencies, choose a useful next step, and execute it while keeping the work public in the repository.
Issue #82 still described stale default candidate-root paths, but current main already uses:
examples/verifier/good/candidate-root
examples/verifier/bad/candidate-root
The issue was therefore stale rather than an active code defect. It was documented and closed as completed.
Issues #4 and #16 still contained historical worker SHA/checklist text from before the current runtime acceptance evidence. Corrective comments now record the active exact worker boundary:

Historical evidence remains visible as provenance rather than being rewritten.
PR #115 correctly proposed retaining the real-node -> independent-verifier evaluator bundle as a GitHub Actions artifact. Its branch diverged while main advanced.
A current-main rebuild (#119) proved the same change at exact head and produced a replayable artifact, after which #115 was closed as superseded.
While this audit was running, PR #117 merged to main as commit:
35f427359b3bf38419c6028ac9d24a08e68269d4
It advanced the product beyond the earlier audit snapshot by demonstrating:
one canonical WorkUnit
-> two isolated real node attempts
-> independent verification for each completed candidate
-> non-selecting Evidence Report
-> saved-run replay
-> explicit human decision still pending
It also demonstrated real worker-failure isolation: one failed attempt did not erase or invalidate the verified peer.
This means “build the first real two-attempt proof” is no longer the next task; it is now evidence already integrated on main.
The repository then had asymmetric evidence retention:
main;The useful next step is therefore to make evidence retention consistent across both real E2E boundaries.
Branch:
fix/replayable-e2e-evidence-unified
Based directly on post-#117 main.
Both workflows now use the same pinned action:
actions/upload-artifact@ea165f8d65b6e75b540449e92b4886f43607fa02 (v4.6.2)
After successful real-node -> verifier execution, retain:
evaluator/results/verification/real-node-520ad2c/
After successful two-attempt orchestration/report execution, retain:
evaluator/results/orchestration/real-two-attempt-evidence/
Both:
contents: read repository permissions;Artifacts are replay/review evidence only.
Public branch metadata still reports main as unprotected with required status enforcement off.
Repository workflows and documentation can fail closed around that fact, but they cannot substitute for enabling an actual GitHub ruleset/branch-protection policy. This remains an external/admin P0.
Likewise, PR #91 still intentionally requires a genuinely separate human/reviewer inspection of its exact accepted runtime head. The same automation that develops or tests the worker must not manufacture independence by approving it itself.
Because #117 already proves the same-worker two-attempt path, the next product experiment should be a deliberately simple heterogeneous second real adapter/worker path, followed by a small frozen set of real repository tasks. The purpose is to measure diversity and verifier correlation, not to add sophistication for its own sake.
observe current repository state
-> distinguish stale tracker text from active defects
-> notice concurrent evidence that changes priorities
-> repair one bounded inconsistency
-> verify exact-head evidence
-> preserve authority boundaries
-> archive the result publicly
This is a more useful interpretation of repository self-evolution than continuously adding new architecture documents or autonomous write authority.
