+# Kernel generated artifact recovery evidence
+
+Task: `TASK-bounded-routine-coordination`. Candidate:
+`8350e47b0f92f7d41454a8e9a1b59e645b95eefe`.
+
+The formerly missing clean baseline is independently verified from public native
+tool records. This establishes provenance for a new narrow QA disposition
+decision. It does not qualify the manual dashboard run or authorize restoration.
+
+Only `custom_tool_call` and `custom_tool_call_output` records were selected from
+Kernel's rollout. No private reasoning was retained. The relevant observations:
+
+- `call_CjQXVLpBQ9DTuVAQSnqdTdzE`, 2026-09-30 23:59:57.790 through
+  2026-10-01 00:00:01.130 UTC: guarded convergence reported no blockers, produced
+  the exact candidate, and Git status showed only `## torch/project-kernel`.
+- `call_4dAbxQLYOxEQe9ulBAKKBJNu`, 00:00:43.426 through 00:00:55.838 UTC:
+  direct `npm run test:dashboard` exited successfully. This remains an
+  unqualified manual run without an exact TORCH receipt.
+- `call_lhYMUOPWggxVMwLKOpp38rn0`, 00:01:05.097 through 00:01:14.066 UTC:
+  the candidate was unchanged and exactly the five known dashboard PNGs were
+  modified.
+
+Manager rechecked all five current byte hashes against the preserved external
+archive and checked the recorded baseline hashes against the candidate's tracked
+blobs. All matched. Source files were not changed. QA independently confirmed
+the same provenance in message `42f16001-4bae-48da-b199-3e48b872f840`.
+
+The retained local evidence is outside Kernel's tested tree:
+
+- [Original byte archive manifest](../../artifacts/TASK-bounded-routine-coordination/kernel-8350e47-generated-dashboard/manifest.json)
+- [Supplemental public pre-run proof](../../artifacts/TASK-bounded-routine-coordination/kernel-8350e47-generated-dashboard/pre-run-provenance.json)
+
+The original manifest records what was known when it was written; the supplement
+adds the newly located proof. Raw artifacts are ignored by Git and retained
+locally; remote durability is not claimed.
+
+Approval `c2a1702b-2042-444c-9472-6d277a2017b6` remains rejected. The new request,
+`406ff30e-b317-4733-b39e-f63c9a57506d`, is addressed to QA and limits proposed
+restoration by Kernel to these paths, after rechecking HEAD, current/archive
+hashes, and the exact dirty-file list:
+
+- `reports/design-system/torch-dashboard-activity-review.png`
+- `reports/design-system/torch-dashboard-check-evidence.png`
+- `reports/design-system/torch-dashboard-operation-outcomes.png`
+- `reports/design-system/torch-dashboard-owner-briefing-desktop.png`
+- `reports/design-system/torch-dashboard-owner-briefing-mobile.png`
+
+The task remains blocked on recovery and exact check qualification. Restored
+cleanliness would not supply a dashboard receipt. The accepted artifact
+dependency remains unlanded; no peer merge, canonical landing, provider start,
+baseline change, cleanup of other files, or gate waiver was performed.
