01 - SUPERTRACK A: Source & Checkpoint Integrity

Method

Re-read all 13 blueprint docs + checkpoint + the XHigh report (14 docs) + checkpoint from persisted state (not from memory), the Codex owner-confirmation checkpoint + current-state record, and the design index. Cross-checked claimed revisions, status strings, counts, and cross-references against each other and against live production.

Checks

check result
XHigh patches actually present in the blueprint docs PASS - doc 02 #26 reword, doc 04 S00/S15/S19, doc 05 note 5, doc 06 G-DOT-NOOVERWRITE/G-LEGACY-FROZEN, doc 07 PKG-F/G, doc 08 hard-block rows + §E all verified persisted
blueprint checkpoint reflects latest revisions PASS-after-fix (MA-01) - top-line status was stale
no stale final verdict claims readiness before XHigh patches PASS-after-fix (MA-01) - doc 12 + doc 00 top-line were stale
docs 02/04/05/06/07/08/12 mutually consistent PASS-after-fix - reconciled with the Max revisions (legacy-set wording, snapshot, re-audit gates)
design index status does not overstate readiness PASS - index rev 29 top banner read ..._XHIGH_REVIEWED_AND_REVISED_READY_FOR_MAX_REVIEW / "NEXT = Max review" / implementation blocked (older banners below are history); Max banner appended (rev 30)
guard count consistent across docs PASS - doc 06 table = 30 rows; "Total guards: 30" line; doc 12 track summary = 30; checkpoints = 30
invariant counts (27/11/14/7) consistent PASS - identical across docs 00/02/03/06/12 + both checkpoints + Codex confirmation

Finding

MA-01 (P2) - stale post-XHigh top-line status (overstates the gate)

  • The blueprint checkpoint top-line (## Final status), doc 12 (## Verdict), and doc 00 (## Self-verdict) all still read FIX7_REFACTOR_BLUEPRINT_READY_FOR_CODEX_CRITICAL_REVIEW - the pre-XHigh value - even though their own bodies record that the independent XHigh pass advanced the status to ..._XHIGH_REVIEWED_AND_REVISED_READY_FOR_MAX_REVIEW.
  • This is an internal contradiction and it overstates readiness: "READY_FOR_CODEX_CRITICAL_REVIEW" is the gate after Max, so a reader could conclude Max already passed when it had not. This is exactly the integrity class the XHigh pass itself caught for guard counts (XHI-01), and it is forbidden by the governing law (§3.6 do_not_claim_live_ready... beyond evidence; status honesty).
  • Fix: advanced all three top-lines to FIX7_REFACTOR_BLUEPRINT_MAX_REVIEWED_AND_REVISED_READY_FOR_CODEX_CRITICAL_REVIEW (the legitimate post-Max value, since this Max pass found and fixed every defect in-blueprint), each with an explicit gate-progression note. The checkpoint and doc 12 also carry a full "Independent Max pass" section.

Cross-impact checked

  • The status advance does not change any invariant or hard block; it records that the Max gate ran and passed-after-revision.
  • The design index already had the correct READY_FOR_MAX_REVIEW banner on top (no overstatement); a Max banner was appended for the completed pass, keeping the index's top status truthful.

Verdict

SOURCE_CHECKPOINT_INTEGRITY_PASS_AFTER_FIX - one real integrity defect (stale status overstating the gate), corrected across all three carriers; the package is internally consistent after the Max revisions.
