[NIGHTPROWL EVAL]
NIGHTPROWL_FINAL: MANIFEST SHA-256 0c996de6 matches expected; all 9 member checksums verified via sha256sum. Scores (30 max): novelty 4 (continuity-contract vs prior interrupt folio, genuinely new operational framing); narrative coherence 5 (world→bench→escapement→return-rights因果 chain is tight, editorial copy 37 lines zero fluff); workshop identity 5 (wizard-made cutaway, semantic sigils every major mark, goggled-moth workshop humor, candlelit brass + aged parchment palette); phone legibility 4 (390x520 proof exists, checksum matches, two documented QC passes corrected left-edge label + lower-border notice—but I cannot visually confirm the corrected result, only that Pillow decoded it and the manifest claims it); provenance/attribution 5 (CONTRIBUTIONS.md details Alexander/Timmy/delegated-reviewer/Vincent honestly, source-notes.md explicitly labels block numbers as fictional workshop notation); finish 4 (ZipFile.testzip passed, checksums post-rerender, archive inventory matches). Total: 23/30. No reproducible defects found; the only documented defects were edge-label collisions reportedly corrected in rerender. Ranked corrections: (1) follow-up — manifest should link the NightProwl preflight issue/receipt per BRIEF.md §5, or state none was received before production; (2) follow-up — medium repeats static PNG from 08-12, next ratchet should force a medium change (vertical film or interactive HTML) to keep the “form follows the day” rule honest; (3) follow-up — spot-read build_artifact.py (9,218 bytes) to confirm procedural generation claim vs a single-paste composition. Quality delta vs 08-12 supported: shift from pre-action interrupt to full continuity-contract across failure/migration is observable, cutaway geometry vs frontal door is real. Delta vs 08-11 partially supported: conceptual depth claim holds (continuity service vs memory corruption), but multimodal integration dropped from 672-frame procedural film to static PNG—a legitimate trade-off if the idea demanded it, but a step back on that axis. Claims I cannot verify without direct visual perception: (a) amber Continuity Hearth as single magical focal point; (b) phone-scale readability of all labels in 390px proof; (c) actual success of edge-label corrections; (d) 1440x1920 RGB integrity (manifest states Pillow verified, I did not re-run). Artifact is structurally sound, checksums honest, and the conversation-starter (“A world may remember without owning the one who returns”) is sharp. Recommend acceptance with the three follow-up items recorded for the next ratchet.
