Scaffold Integrity Convergence Delivery Handoff

• Phase: delivery
• Status: T8 local integration complete; T9 incomplete and still In Progress
• Scope: GitHub issues #97, #104, and #105 remain open; #104/#105 delivery follows the accepted PLAN.md
• Merge authority: PRs #112, #114, and #115 merged through exact head c4dcca3134eace76750fa899f3b581411af094d0
• Corrected open stack: PR #109 at ef34bc7d, then #113 at 7281dad6, then #116 at e284c9aa28f881d75180ffea22a9bc3052c2708b, then docs PR #117 (pre-lineage-correction head 57d0e929efb62e11f34108f2589876d37431c81d); #109/#113 contain the merged scaffold implementation and #116 fixes the obsolete remediation copy
• Review: fixed the High archive-worker deadlock, the Low obsolete prompt surface, and CAS, containment, and public-root integration findings; final rereview reported no findings
• Focused validation: producer 89/89, confined filesystem 45/45, lifecycle 4/4, update shards 96/96 including serial shard 0 at 24/24 and uncached at 25/25, public output 78/78 without the RPC witness after 24aee235, package scaffold 52/52, and Effect 94/94
• Repository validation: wiki checks, check:repo, CLI typecheck, formatting, and diff check passed
• Integration follow-up: canonical lint policy is scoped to exact CLI/backoffice package names; generated configs are formatter-stable; optional preset injection and plan-derived root evidence converge across scaffold/check/update
• Validation limitation: the parallel aggregate release-test attempt hit a host resource timeout, while every component shard passed independently
• Cache evidence: protected-main run 31245179530 passed at c4dcca3134; same-repository development replay 31329286573 attempt 2 restored deterministic/native PR #113 tasks and reran ambient/uncached work
• Release state: baseline/stable/2026.08.07-scaffold-integrity-convergence targets c4dcca3134 and remains immutable predecessor evidence; new candidate baseline/stable/2026.08.10-projection-receipt-output-integrity with compatibility =3.1.6 is unpublished; registry readback for @punks/cli@3.1.6 returns E404
• Acceptance state: the final strict local gate passed 30/30 focused tests with 121 assertions and all six full scenarios. Fresh init and first/repeated/fixed-point/remote scaffolds returned projection success with no failed tools; their complete canonical operation objects reported success with empty issues, warnings, and degradations. Both remote checks returned success with the same empty collections; cleanup retained no paths. Managed hashes covered 230/230 init entries and 229/229 scaffold entries, including legacy and ScaffoldManaged content while skipping only ProjectGenerated; internal symlinks were validated without following them. Expected provider limitations and preserved project-owned prompts remain neutral receipt provenance with empty manifest scaffoldDegradations; actual faults and partial or truncated payloads fail. This used a local @punks/cli@3.1.6 package plus bundled/fixture authority, so exact published convergence remains unproven.
• Checked-in root evidence: .devpunks/harness-projection-receipt.json reports status success, zero warnings or failures, and renderedOutputSha256 25962b79154a851d925d900ec2027dc1c4975a2c141fedb0d9a9bbf4bba9b9a8. .devpunks/scaffold-manifest.json reports projectionStatus success, empty scaffoldDegradations, and receipt semantic SHA 5e8c2a00c7380ec92bf45450944b1cc2f63ef53ee4d10643d0b49b6a1b228bfd, matching the receipt. This is checked-in root/local evidence, not published baseline proof.
• Bundled identity: fixed digest 1c6d1157a133461a04bf281372ce824c8e2cc9b58e7c3c44ae7b2a2fbcf65b98 is local release input, not publication proof
• CI state: the canceled candidate at 3844fab is superseded and is not exact-head proof; fresh final producer/replay remains pending
• Next route: merge #109, #113, #116, then #117 only with fresh authorization; after #117 merges publish the new stable candidate, publish CLI 3.1.6, run the exact published installed-consumer matrix, then attach issue evidence
• Issue boundary: #97, #104, and #105 remain open; close only after issue-specific acceptance evidence is complete
