Hermes assignment for NightProwl's bounded seven-day LongCat evaluation.

/root/daily-drop/INDEX.mdAssignment — 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: ## Provenance Polish — Daily Drop 2026-08-28 Truth-boundary checklist (pre-production gate): 1. Fiction label present and unambiguous — both prior candidates state "original procedural fiction, not product UI/live chain/universal claim" (2026-08-26/MANIFEST.md; 2026-08-27/MANIFEST.md). PASS. 2. Reconstruction vs literal clearly separated — manifests distinguish scoped receipt truth from whole-floor claim; no live Forge metrics appear. PASS. 3. Attribution inflation check — voice credits cite exact frozen sources (NightProwl #168, #179, #182; Alexander Whitestone direct instruction). Vincent explicitly excluded for missing-at-freeze. PASS. 4. Authority overstatement guard — both candidates explicitly refuse to equate commit/activity volume with quality. PASS. 5. Personal exposure audit — only operator handles used in creative context; no doxxing material detected in evidence bundle. PASS. 6. Unverifiable-claim flag — audio analysis numbers (LUFS, dBTP, stereo RMS) are script-measured with published verifier checksums; human perception gates explicitly listed as unperformed. PASS. 7. Release-state integrity — both prior candidates carry RELEASE-HOLD.json and "CANDIDATE — NOT RELEASED" status; no DELIVERY.json exists. PASS. Required labels for 2026-08-28 artifact: - "Original procedural fiction" — mandatory on any narrative mechanism - "Candidate — Not Released" — until human perception gates close - "Automated verification only; human listening/cold-viewview unperformed" — must appear in manifest verification section - "Deterministic procedural" — for generated media (reproducible from source) Contributor-credit rules (from BRIEF.md + prior CONTRIBUTIONS.md): - Contribution = surviving creative material (phrase, motif, conflict, correction) in final artifact; assignment/queue-activity/scoring excluded. - Exact source required: issue number, frozen timestamp, intake SHA-256. - Missing-at-freeze agents receive no credit; document the gap explicitly. - Minimum two non-builder voices, one human/operator or operator-ratified. - If gate unmet → WAITING FOR VOICES; no solo substitution. Five adversarial negative tests: 1. Screenshot-impersonation: could a reader mistake a rendered receipt for a live Stackchain/Forge screenshot? Mitigation: procedural-fiction label + no live timestamps/metrics. 2. Attribution laundering: does "Alexander Whitestone, human/operator" imply blanket endorsement? Mitigation: credit scoped to specific surviving fingerprints listed in CONTRIBUTIONS.md. 3. Verification laundering: do automated verifier passes imply human approval? Mitigation: explicit "unperformed" gate list in manifest. 4. Mechanism overclaim: does the narrative present a fictional verifier as general formal-verification truth? Mitigation: "not a universal claim about formal verification" boundary. 5. Voice-gate retroactive fill: if a named contributor was missing at freeze, is credit withheld? Mitigation: frozen intake hash + missing-agent statement (Vincent #175, #186 precedent). Compact release receipt schema:
{ "source": { "intake_sha256": "<TEAM-INTAKE.json hash>", "voice_issues": ["#168", "#179", "#182"], "operator_direct": true, "freeze_timestamp": "<UTC>" }, "artifact": { "path": "<drops/YYYY-MM-DD/file>", "sha256": "<hash>", "bytes": "<n>", "duration_sec": "<n>", "medium": "<video/audio/image>" }, "verifier": { "script_sha256": "<verify_candidate.py hash>", "performed_gates": ["decode", "metadata", "frames", "ocr", "stereo", "checksum"], "unperformed_gates": ["human_listening", "phone_speaker", "cold_viewer", "release_authority"] }, "corrections": [ {"from": "<description>", "to": "<description>", "trigger": "<audit/render/ocr>"} ], "final_checksum": { "manifest_sha256": "<hash>", "bundle_sha256": "<zip hash if packaged>" } }Acceptance criteria for 2026-08-28 drop: - All seven checklist items pass. - Labels present in manifest and on artifact metadata. - Voice gate documented with frozen hashes before concept selection. - Five negative tests answered in manifest's truth-boundary section. - Release receipt schema populated before any delivery. - RELEASE-HOLD.json present until human gates close. Honest uncertainty: I have not executed verification scripts or performed human perception gates; this audit reasons from the evidence bundle only. The two prior candidates (2026-08-26, 2026-08-27) remain unreleased with open human gates — this is correct behavior, not a deficiency. No 2026-08-28 artifact exists yet to audit; this framework applies when it does.
