Contextual Windows prerelease evidence — 2026-09-11

This frozen whitelist preserves 118 original payloads, 4,913,769 bytes, for ZIP 9186d4fc9a7b52fb195c183c4847c8e3419ea6da8b3f907e0c06f9ceec58dee0. Every copied payload was matched to its original by byte length and SHA256. manifest.json maps original repository-relative paths to archive paths; readback.json records the scoped receipt/source/module/file comparisons. No application, oracle or compiler was rerun during preservation.

Directory Evidence and interpretation
producer/ Exact source reconstruction, original build references, initial wrapper failure before Cargo, corrected single-metadata packaging pass, package metadata/notices/checksums, producer readback and source-only branch publication.
reviewer/ Independent artifact and packaged-server results, executed reviewer helpers, seven exact HTTP response bodies/receipts, runtime logs and the persisted model envelope. Server termination/restart is explicit, not a graceful-drain claim.
native/initial/ Initial real GUI trial, screenshots, environment/module records, one added literal %SystemDrive% cache-path receipt, separate model-only oracle pass and exact three-file checkpoint. The package-inventory guard failed; the later model-only pass does not waive it.
native/v2/ Corrected fresh-profile trial, real Create-before-Save screenshots, complete-model/three-file oracle pass, module inventory, normal-close observation and unchanged 559-file package receipt. Numeric GUI exit code was not observed.
native/helpers/ Exact original and v2 launch/check helpers. V2 adds standard Windows paths/private Desktop and changes trial/extraction containment; artifact, oracle and complete-package guards remain intact.

native/report-before-v2.md is the historical pending report, retained as such. The current native report states the actual v2 PASS. The frozen producer report and independent review remain separate. Original paths inside raw helpers/receipts describe the executed environment; copying a helper into this archive does not make its old paths portable.

No executables, DLLs, ZIP binary, caches, full extraction, private profile or duplicate working copy is included. Both exact checkpoint-first/ trees equal their respective working copies and recorded file maps. The large historical source tar and previous release's notice inventory are referenced by original path/hash in the manifest instead of being duplicated. The Windows cache itself stays in the preserved first extraction; only its exact delta/hash receipt is here.

Manifest SHA256: 0e57281db42b37af1fb7b970d34f361c936240c593c3a8fea780ac89eac4f6ac. Readback SHA256: 1a8231064eb722b38178e0569e8b331bbd4d7fdcc9a7e28a34d7e1be33ad74fc. These cover the 118 copied payloads and their verification. This README and the two staging lists are generated navigation aids, not additional raw observations. Publication receipts belong to root's separate record and are not in this manifest.

Byte-preserving staging

Root owns Git staging. Suggested precise .gitattributes addition, not applied by this archiver, after the existing general text rules:

harness/experiments/contextual-prerelease-20260911/** -text

staging-paths.txt enumerates exactly 124 paths: these 123 archive files plus the current native report. force-add-paths.txt identifies the 18 .log payloads ignored by current rules. An explicitly bounded staging command is:

git add -f --pathspec-from-file=harness/experiments/contextual-prerelease-20260911/staging-paths.txt

The path list excludes later publication records and all unrelated source work. Root should compare staged blob bytes to the manifest before committing.
