The repo-wide hardcode and cleanliness audit passed. The Agent correctly distinguished between forbidden hardcoding and allowed provenance/drift-detection pins, and fixed the one machine-comparability risk by renaming the truncated hash field to display-only.

Accepted fix

fix:
  file: sql/lifecycle/fingerprints.yaml
  change: prior_md5_prosrc -> prior_md5_prosrc_display_only
  reason: avoid machine comparison of truncated hash

Ruling

PATH_R1_LIGHT_FOLLOWUPS: CLOSED_PASS
PATH_FF_CLEAN: APPROVED_NEXT
reason:
  - feature now includes the hardcode audit cleanup commit 0a64a61
  - main remains at 1cd286e
  - ff-only feasible 2/0 per report
  - aligning main before automation/deploy keeps release state clean

Authorized next macro-goal

next_phase: v0_5_main_fast_forward_after_hardcode_cleanliness
scope:
  - verify feature HEAD 0a64a61 and main HEAD 1cd286e
  - verify clean tree and ff-only feasibility
  - run targeted/static tests if needed
  - fast-forward local main to 0a64a61 if gates pass
  - no push/tag/deploy/restart
