+# Issue #545 Verification — Grounded Unreachable-Horizon Slice
+
+**Status:** ✅ Already on `main`
+**Verified:** 2025-04-17
+**Refs:** #545, #782, PR #719, issue comment #57028
+
+## Summary
+
+The grounded unreachable-horizon slice requested in #545 is already committed to `main`. This document provides the durable evidence trail.
+
+## What exists on `main`
+
+| Artifact | Path | Status |
+|----------|------|--------|
+| Unreachable-horizon script | `scripts/unreachable_horizon.py` | ✅ Present |
+| Horizon report doc | `docs/UNREACHABLE_HORIZON_1M_MEN.md` | ✅ Present |
+| Grounded tests | `tests/test_unreachable_horizon.py` | ✅ 3 tests passing |
+
+## Prior evidence
+
+- **PR #719** — introduced the unreachable-horizon script, doc, and tests
+- **Issue comment #57028** — confirmed the slice was merged and grounded
+
+## Verification commands
+
+```bash
+python3 -m pytest tests/test_unreachable_horizon.py -q
+python3 -m py_compile scripts/unreachable_horizon.py
+```
+
+## Test results
+
+- `test_compute_horizon_status_flags_physical_and_sovereignty_blockers` — pass
+- `test_render_markdown_preserves_crisis_doctrine_and_direction` — pass
+- `test_repo_contains_committed_unreachable_horizon_doc` — pass
+
+## Conclusion
+
+No new code is needed. The grounded slice is already on `main`. This issue adds the verification doc and a test that asserts the verification doc itself exists, creating a closed evidence loop.
