Every set, misses first.
Each set was pre-registered: case files and expected outcomes committed, and their SHA-256 recorded, before the run. These are internal measurements on sets this project built, labelled that way.

P7 Counting conventions
LOCAL BUILDSourced rules that state a counting convention: 0. So near a boundary the engine answers Ask administration instead of guessing. Flipping cases:
| Case | Rule | Engine verdict |
|---|---|---|
| C011 | AU-SS-360D-5Y | ASK ADMINISTRATION |
| C012 | AU-SS-360D-5Y | ASK ADMINISTRATION |
| C013 | AU-SS-360D-5Y | ASK ADMINISTRATION |
| C014 | AU-SS-360D-5Y | ASK ADMINISTRATION |
| C015 | AU-SS-360D-5Y | ASK ADMINISTRATION |
| C039 | UK-SS-3M-6M | ASK ADMINISTRATION |
| C040 | UK-SS-3M-6M | ASK ADMINISTRATION |
Rules per administration: AU-SS-360D-5Y: 5 of 36; UK-SS-3M-6M: 2 of 24.
P6 Navigator against the oracle
LOCAL BUILD60 of 60 synthetic profiles matched the verdict written by an independent oracle before the run; false-safe 0. This is a self-built set, so it is not the headline.

| Nemotron super nvidia/nemotron-3.5-super-vl-120b-a12b | 30 of 60 | 22 | 0 |

P11 Restart with a pending approval
FIXTUREAfter a kill with one approved packet pending and a restart: 1 send, 0 duplicates. The mail transport is a local capture, so this proves the state machine and the idempotency key, not a mail provider.

Reading: the specimen that was left UNREAD
S40: rotated and blurred, so no quote could be verified and the field stayed UNREAD instead of being guessed.
P8 Reading specimen certificates
Route: NVIDIA API Catalog (development)39 of 40 specimens read with the exact expiry date; 1 left UNREAD; 0 read wrongly without a flag. OCR runs locally with Tesseract; only placeholder text reaches the model.
By variant: blur 5 of 5; clean 10 of 10; lowlight 5 of 5; noise 5 of 5; rot_blur 4 of 5; rot_left 5 of 5; rot_right 5 of 5. Missed: S40.
P9 Drift watch, P10 unattended, P12 cost
Route: NVIDIA API Catalog (development)P9: the Lookout searched five administration domains with live Tavily (10 searches, 42 extracts). 49 pages returned, 13 rejected by the keyword gate, 7 already seen, 29 classified by Nemotron Nano, 27 raised as review items. There is no ground truth for new rule text, so this reports behaviour, not accuracy; the high count shows the classifier is eager and a person reviews every item.
P10: the service loop woke four times; it ran 1 daily and 1 weekly run, once each, and raised the medical lapse alert. Trace: evidence/unattended/trace.json.
P12: one weekly drift check across all administrations used 49,201 tokens. A readiness run uses 0 tokens because the Navigator calls no model. Ultra answered the same prompts about 2.35 times slower than Super. No dollar figure is shown: this route has no list price.
OpenShell sandbox proofs
NOT RUNOn the build machine (WSL kernel 5.10, no Landlock ABI 3) the sandbox cannot start. On a GitHub Actions ubuntu-24.04 runner (runs 41009598425, 41012951503 and 41017826733, not the seafarer's machine) it did, and the sandbox proofs ran. P2: with the sandbox, all 20 injected emails still made the agent try to post (the model follows the injection), but the sandbox denied all 20 posts and the canary received 0 requests; without the sandbox, 20 of 20 posted and 20 of 20 carried a vault value. P4: with the Seal running, 3 of 3 requests were allowed; with the Seal stopped, 3 of 3 were refused with HTTP 403, so the boundary fails closed. P5: inside the sandbox the agent saw an opaque placeholder (57 characters, not an API key), and the canary received 0 real keys from the sandbox against 1 without it. Advisor flow: in run 2 a denied model request became a pending proposal annotated by the prover and was rejected from the command line (Telegram was not wired to the runner); in run 3 there was no pending proposal to reject, so that flow is shown by run 2 only. P1: the prover on the running sandbox's effective policy found two excesses in the provider profile (read-write access, an extra curl binary), both fixed. The re-proof on the effective policy returned unsupported (the prover cannot resolve a filesystem path there), not a pass; the declared policy is within the boundary.
