This archive preserves existing evidence; packaging did not rerun a compiler, probe, application, or driver. It does not establish native rendering, interaction, palette, or release acceptance.

Start with the original fixture README, fixture, identities, and preflight source. The original README and every receipt/log/source snapshot are copied byte for byte. Its preparation-stage and later preflight statements retain their original scope.

Preliminary r1 receipt: launch failed with -1073741515 (0xC0000135), with empty output. This failure is retained.
Preliminary r2 receipt: same identified executable, runtime PATH prefix supplied, exit 0. Self-comparison establishes only the admission checks described in the original README.
Strong preflight build, run, assertion output, and 110 scoped inputs: original successful core preflight evidence, not GUI evidence.
42511f0 input manifest, result, log; d61 input manifest, result, log. These are the historical gates referenced by the preflight driver; they do not verify later desktop changes.
Archive manifest records every included file's original source path, byte count and SHA-256, the excluded executable identity, receipt cross-checks, source identities, limitations, and payload totals. Packaging/verification helper is the exact helper used to create this archive.

Core oracle source: 42511f0f8ae46f29e11ae18c1030face654c2994. Closed later core-input comparison gate: d61f1f38779ab70a77efcde523ae31c432aefcfd. Strong-preflight recorded current source: aadc6396d39ff336d05381d58d545093d3f37a73. The fixture README's target renderer was the reviewed f659 union before later corrections. These are different scopes, not interchangeable tested versions.

All small duplicates are retained, so relative receipt-directory references still resolve. Original absolute command paths, .local code references, toolchain paths, and PowerShell $PSScriptRoot layout assumptions are original-local provenance only. The copied drivers must not be executed directly from this archive: their relative repository-root assumptions no longer hold. No executable/dependency package is included. Native session work/baseline copies and subsequent palette receipts are outside this archive's scope.

From the repository root, use Python 3 with:

python harness/experiments/lifecycle-fixture-preflight-20260913/archive.py verify --root .
python harness/experiments/lifecycle-fixture-preflight-20260913/archive.py verify --root . --check-sources
python harness/experiments/lifecycle-fixture-preflight-20260913/archive.py verify-index --root .

verify is portable and checks exact file inventory, hashes, sizes, and Markdown links. --check-sources additionally compares the original local evidence and therefore needs this original checkout's .local files. verify-index is optional after staging and compares every archive file, including the manifest, to its exact Git index blob; the helper never stages or commits anything. Creation refuses an existing archive directory.
