CI-CONT-001 — Self-Contained Development Continuity Verification Matrix v0.1.41

Overall status: BLOCKED / NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED. Presence of documents is not acceptance. Each row must be independently reviewed against the final exact-byte ZIP; evidence is package-relative.

Clean-room acceptance procedure

  1. Give an independent reviewer only the final candidate ZIP and its documented predecessor ZIP for checksum comparison (the predecessor is a deployment test input, not a source of missing development requirements).
  2. Require the reviewer to identify each requirement, its implementation state, source paths, tests and unresolved issues, without access to conversation history, Library or external handoffs.
  3. Run the documented offline commands; record exact environment, commands, results and discrepancies.
  4. Review every critical documentation claim against code and test evidence. Record all missing and conflicting information; do not infer completion from matching filenames.
  5. Sign the result with reviewer identity, date, final candidate ZIP SHA-256, evidence matrix and explicit PASS/FAIL. No fabricated reviewer identity or approval is permitted.

Decision rule: Any critical missing requirement, stale authority, unverifiable source mapping, or external-only required context is FAIL. No independent test has been performed; therefore current result is BLOCKED.

Checkpoint 12 additional evidence

The package includes Package-Backlog-Register-v0.1.41.md with individually numbered backlog bullets. This reduces the risk of losing explicit packaged backlog statements, but does not establish complete historical requirements recovery, acceptance criteria, verified implementation, or clean-room acceptance. CI-CONT-001 remains BLOCKED.
