Assignment — provenance and truthfulness polish

Audit the proposed work-derived storytelling boundary before production. Prevent reconstructed evidence from looking literal, attribution inflation, authority overstatement, personal exposure, and unverifiable claims.

Return: a truth-boundary checklist; exact labels for reconstruction/fiction/prototype where needed; contributor-credit rules; five adversarial negative tests; and a compact release receipt schema binding source, artifact, verifier, corrections, and final checksum. Keep all personal and doxxing material out.

[NIGHTPROWL EVAL]

NIGHTPROWL_FINAL: ## Daily Lab Drop 2026-08-23 — Provenance Polish Receipt Role: bounded creative-quality critic; read-only analysis; no production authority; no tool calls executed per instruction. ### 1. Truth-Boundary Checklist (pre-production gate) - Frozen source artifact exists for each claimed voice; timestamp precedes concept selection - Reconstructed process narratives carry "reconstructed from" qualifier; not presented as live record - Artifact labeled: original procedural fiction; not product UI, live chain, repo reconstruction, or Forge-activity claim - Mechanism shown labeled: illustrative prototype, not deployed system - Human sensory claims (listening, cold-viewing, phone-speaker) absent unless explicitly performed; absence disclosed as residual risk - Operator release authority is hash-specific and date-specific; not blanket approval - No personal identifiers or doxxing material in any external-facing artifact or receipt Evidence: 2026-08-21/MANIFEST.md §"Mechanism and truth boundary"; 2026-08-22/MANIFEST.md §"Actual mechanism and truth boundary"; RELEASE-AUTHORITY.json (both dates) — hash binding; HUMAN-REVIEW-STATE.json (both dates) — sensory gates unperformed. ### 2. Required Labels - Reconstructed narrative → "reconstructed from [source] as of [timestamp]" - Fictional artifact → "original procedural fiction" - Prototype mechanism → "illustrative prototype" - Absent sensory gate → "human [listening/viewing] was not performed; residual risk accepted by operator" Evidence: 2026-08-21/MANIFEST.md §"Corrections and independent review"; 2026-08-22/MANIFEST.md §"First correction and verification"; BRIEF.md §"NightProwl quality loop". ### 3. Contributor-Credit Rules 1. Credit requires concrete phrase/image/motif/conflict/question/source-artifact/story-move/technical-mechanism/performance/correction surviving into the audience piece 2. Exact source ref required: Forge issue# + frozen intake hash, or dated operator direction file path 3. No credit for: assignment alone; queue activity; generic approval; after-the-fact scoring; builder implementation; self-review; routine deterministic checks 4. Missing at freeze = no credit, even if previously expected 5. Each adopted voice's fingerprint preserved; synthesis must not flatten authorship Evidence: BRIEF.md §"The team is the medium"; 2026-08-21/CONTRIBUTIONS.md §"Not contributions"; 2026-08-22/CONTRIBUTIONS.md §"Not credited"; TEAM-INTAKE.json (both dates) — frozen receipts. ### 4. Five Adversarial Negative Tests 1. Ghost-Voice Test: For each credited voice, point to a frozen timestamped receipt. Missing artifact → retract credit. 2. Reconstruction-as-Record Test: For each process story (argument, correction, decision), point to a source artifact. Missing → relabel as "reconstructed from [partial sources]". 3. Authority-Scope Test: Release authority must bind to exact SHA-256 and date. Authority referencing "the release" without hash → reject. 4. Sensory-Claim Test: Any claim of human perception without explicit performance record → retract or disclose as unperformed. 5. Personal-Exposure Scan: Grep all receipt/contribution/delivery files for personal identifiers beyond role/pseudonym. Any hit → redact before external exposure. Evidence: 2026-08-21/QUALITY-CYCLES.md — false-positive OCR gate failure; 2026-08-22/CONTRIBUTIONS.md — Vincent missing at freeze; RELEASE-AUTHORITY.json (both dates) — hash binding. ### 5. Compact Release Receipt Schema json { "schema": "release-receipt-v1", "date": "YYYY-MM-DD America/New_York", "artifact": {"title": "...", "path": "...", "sha256": "...", "bytes": 0, "medium": "...", "duration_seconds": 0}, "source": {"frozen_intake_hash": "...", "voice_count": ">=2", "voices": [{"role": "operator|agent", "fingerprint": "exact phrase/motif", "source_ref": "issue#/path"}]}, "verifier": {"independent_audit_path": "...", "audit_score": "X/30", "sensory_limits": ["..."], "sensory_disclosure": "operator_authorized_X_hash"}, "corrections": [{"issue": "...", "disposition": "...", "evidence": "..."}], "final_checksum": {"media_sha256": "...", "build_script_sha256": "...", "score_sha256": "...", "delivery_state": "DELIVERY-STATE.json"}, "authority": {"release_authority_path": "RELEASE-AUTHORITY.json", "authorization_scope": "hash_specific", "residual_risk_accepted": true}, "truth_boundary": {"work_is_fiction": true, "mechanism_is_prototype": true, "process_narrative_is_reconstructed": true, "no_live_claims": true} } Evidence: DELIVERY.json, DELIVERY-STATE.json, RELEASE-AUTHORITY.json (both dates); MANIFEST.md §"Key checksums" (both dates). ### Honest Uncertainty - Telegram delivery receipts (msg IDs 1285/1286; 23623/24022) cannot be verified without external platform access; treated as self-reported - Independent audit scores (20/30, 27/30) are self-assessment proxies; methodology not externally audited - "Independent" audit context is delegated within same operator ecosystem; true independence is partial - Process narratives in CONTRIBUTIONS.md are necessarily reconstructed from partial frozen records; schema enforces labeling but cannot guarantee it - No tool calls executed; analysis is evidence-bundle-only as instructed ### Acceptance Criteria - 2026-08-23 drop passes all five negative tests above - RELEASE-AUTHORITY.json binds to exact media hash - CONTRIBUTIONS.md sources every voice to a frozen timestamped artifact - MANIFEST.md contains explicit truth-boundary labels - DELIVERY.json and DELIVERY-STATE.json exist and bind the verified hash - No personal/doxxing material in external-facing artifacts
