+  scenarios:
+    - id: SCN-architect-file-ownership
+      given: A committed project with a README, package manifest and JSON schema
+      when: The Architect assigns observed files or invents absent files and directory globs
+      then: Observed-file claims validate, invented claims fail, and oversized exact evidence reports truncation
+  observable_outcomes:
+    - Public pending-proposal validity, invented-path and unknown-evidence diagnostics
+    - Exact evidence capped at 1000 files with explicit OWNERSHIP_EVIDENCE_TRUNCATED finding
+  determinism_controls:
+    - Disposable local Git history and fixed generated filenames
+    - No provider calls, timers, network, retries or sleeps
+  anti_cheat_rationale:
+    prevents:
+      - Assigning arbitrary unseen paths merely because metadata is not a source component
+      - Leaving schemas and manifests permanently unassignable despite observed evidence
+      - Claiming whole-repository ownership coverage from a truncated inventory

 ## Fresh readiness audit (2026-09-30)
 
+Current checkpoint: `03fcbdd` committed the portable rewrite. The protected fixture
+remains untracked and excluded. A commit-bound candidate passed all 38 acceptance
+groups in an isolated temporary version store; it is inactive and no stable
+launcher was installed. Older dirty-source/pending-checkpoint statements below
+are historical snapshots, not the current commit state.
+
+Install-readiness follow-up: exact observed-file ownership evidence now permits
+reviewable primary ownership for package metadata, schemas, documentation and
+other deliverables, without admitting unobserved paths or invented directory
+globs. Evidence is capped at 1000 entries with explicit truncation. Thirteen
+focused scenarios and all 38 source acceptance groups PASS. Re-checkpoint this
+fix, regenerate a complete six-area proposal and qualify its stopped-install
+rehearsal before requesting real installation or live provider launch.

 Self-host ownership follow-up: see
 `reports/audit/self-host-roster-review-2026-09-30.md`. A proposed six-specialist
 grouping covers 124 current implementation/assets/harness/test files with zero
