# Verification scope

`release-host-gold-20260922.json` is the full host verification of the corrected
bundle: all five graph modes, all five escape modes and the six C fixture suites.
The source hashes and asset identities inside that report describe this run.

The unmodified `release-device-*.json` reports and their JSONL logs are historical
hardware runs from 2026-09-16. `release-host-gold.json` is the corresponding old
host run. They tested circuit SHA-256
`f3d60b01f24af16faec0ac7ce6c7d011c336f19f1707f9bd2279ea92a77240fe`.

The current circuit SHA-256 is
`566df28669c4b6ae5fff4a2330558837bce0c2a4fb08eb9edec4193285f3a91d`.
Only the four informational laterality z-scores and their added `null_mean`
fields differ. The graph, input/output neuron selections, amplitude, threshold,
neuron table and escape gold are unchanged. Independent re-exports reproduced
the corrected circuit and gold byte for byte.

The circuit file fingerprint is compiled into the firmware. The corrected
fingerprint has not been tested on a device during this release preparation;
historical PASS results are not a hardware PASS for this exact package identity.
No device was accessed or flashed while preparing this update.

Device reports contain local verification source hashes and device-reported
identities, not an attested firmware binary hash. Host tests do not execute
Xtensa SIMD instructions or concurrent device scheduling. Escape counts are
observations, not a biological-realism or success-rate gate.
