+## 43. C1c resumed after the #473 repair — review-closed, pending landing
+
+The prior turn made concrete progress: #473 code `bf23673f3` and provisional
+graphical evidence `b8d80e507` are committed. Owner re-gate remains owed; it
+does not require leaving the unrelated test-harness correction frozen.
+The lead has resumed §40's sequential review over the untouched nine-file
+return in `s5-closeout-harness` at `02219318a052b01dfe3c6049864bfba2d70d9572`.
+Rawls retail/transcript pass1 found no implementation/fixture defect, only
+AD-118's stale retirement marker and active-row count. Under the owner's
+documentation-direct override, the lead struck the retired ID and corrected
+92 to91, independently recounting104 total/13 retired/91 active AD rows.
+No code, capture, or evidence changed. Wegener's production/gate-honesty pass2
+passed the corrected return with no findings, independently verifying the
+eleven TRX/six source hashes, shared-path proof, unchanged expectations,
+production DLLs and104/13/91 register count. No C1c implementation fix round
+was needed. Integration is unlocked; owner testing below takes priority over
+the post-landing build. The nine-file scratch return remains preserved.
+
+Lead independently verified all eleven TRX hashes and six source hashes in
+`artifacts/s5-c1c-02219318a/README.txt`, including all five restored mutation
+boundaries. The complete scoped diff and literal fixtures remain unchanged.
+Fresh test-assembly-only Release build passed0W/0E, with both referenced
+production App.dll hashes unchanged; the combined parser/projection,
+non-KnownFailure conformance, and production-world-context run passed68/68
+with no skips. Exact artifact:
+`artifacts/s5-c1c-02219318a/lead-restored/lead-c1c-restored-verification.trx`,

+The capture fixture directly binds newmethod1 and the1024x720 projection
+matrix words. No universal D3D/x87 bit-identity or omitted-branch claim.
+
+Fresh explicit process check: no client/debugger, ACE UDP9000 PID13340.
+No graphical launch/close occurs in C1c. One bounded OpenAI read-only
+preflight checks current factory/extractor/publication APIs for §37.3's
+next geometry/membership witness; it authorizes no implementation yet.
+Both C1c review lenses are now satisfied. Lead next lands the exact test/doc
+return and runs ordinary Release/canonical conformance when no client is
+running, classifying every nonpassing identity.
+Then the real geometry/membership witness, final full lanes, C2 and owner G4
+remain. Nothing merges to main.

+## 44. Owner #473 exterior re-gate launched — 2026-09-05
+
+After the owner asked "Shall I test?" and explicitly said "launch", the lead
+started one visible manual client PID16892 at2026-09-05T06:39:41.5242752Z.
+It is left OPEN for the owner, with no automated route or auto-close. No
+build occurred: the exact verified Release App.dll remains
+`34442C9CA1135AEF312DA3C4613C8C11BAE25C35C602D22C9F1F7B294F41354A`, built
+from `bf23673f3`, with its 0W/0E log in `logs/s5-473-lead-bf23673f3/`.
+At launch, campaign HEAD was `b8d80e507` with only this in-flight ledger edit;
+explicit source comparison found no src/tests difference from the tested
+binary's commit. This docs-only dirty scope is recorded truthfully, not
+misrepresented as a fresh clean build.
+
+Fresh guarded preflight found zero AcDream/retail/debugger clients and ACE
+UDP9000 PID13340; recipe10 package SHA remained `4E0FA6C589ECE12E13099A56385077964961EC52F888BC9161C6F5D34829B59B`.
+Exact launch provenance and logs:
+`logs/owner-regate-20260905-bf23673f3-r1/launch.json`, `client.log`,
+`client.err.log`. Client log confirms completed login/world-visible at
+cathedral cellF4180019, 4xMSAA/A2Ctrue, and High quality. Actual Roaming
+settings confirm BuildingDetailTextures=true and atmospheric High. Native
+window9373828 was inspected without input; connected cathedral scene visible.
+Stderr contains the known missing-hardware-GfxObj particle-info warning, not
+a launch failure. No owner verdict has been received; #473 and G4 remain open.
+
+Hold builds, second clients, and automated movement/closure while the owner
+tests. Only read-only review and documentation may continue. Preserve the
+unchanged tested binary until the owner ends the gate or authorizes closure.
