setup-through-1457.zip preserves 28 selected original setup records: capacity audit and nondeleting compression, official-image hash, successful supported Ubuntu 26.04 WSL2 installation/root shell, failed mirrored networking, exact user-directed configuration changes, and the first VirtioProxy CreateVm timeout. It does not contain downloaded packages, distro images, credentials or VPN configuration. Host/guest route and systemd diagnostics are evidence of those bounded failed trials; they do not establish their cause.

preparation-through-1503.zip preserves 13 later records: the second pre-guest timeout after the Windows compiler cleared, official Rust manifest and five verified native component receipts, official Ubuntu signed InRelease and 60 verified package receipts, plus exact download helpers and failed attempts. The second timeout's terminal text is explicitly transcribed without PTY screen escapes; it is not a guest log. Ubuntu metadata signature validation in the guest and all package installation remain pending.

service-reset-1505.zip preserves the later distinct WslService-only reset attempt. No running distro/client was observed; reading Hyper-V Compute events required elevation and restarting WslService failed on service access. It remained Running. No elevation workaround or additional guest launch followed.

Adjacent JSON manifests record every uncompressed entry's byte count/SHA256 and the archive checksum. All three archives were read back and compared entry by entry. The private package blobs and full images remain outside Git. Downloads alone are not proof of toolchain installation, Linux compilation or runtime acceptance.
