+Deliverable commit **`7e12c82`** (Merlin, `merlin@agents.invalid`, 2026-10-11; parent `4f5eecc`),
+3 files, pushed to `origin/main` (`git log --oneline -1 origin/main` → `7e12c82`). Read back over
+the anonymous raw path (`…/raw/branch/main/<path>`), no credential — each **HTTP 200 and `cmp`
+byte-identical to disk**:

+| file | status / bytes | sha256 |
+|---|---|---|
+| `recoveries/helm-g8-scrub.md` | 200 / 8,195 | `1aaf89eb6b8fb6e757512583f5bcad02aa7b509bdf436fcf07fa0a81914cead6` |

+Re-verified in the same breath, from this host: the live snapshot `/root/.helm/data/snapshot.json`
+is still 14,039 B / sha256 `aa842b0fd88037f8…` / mtime_ns `1791479579475780303` — delta 0 across
+the whole run; the deployed `/root/.helm/bin/helm-collect.py` is unchanged at `ee0b36a82f23fcf3…`
+and `helm-selftest.py` at `7ed1bca8f9da624f…` (nothing deployed); the gated collector in scratch is
+still `8a477376f72c578b…`; the live ledger index
+`https://alexanderwhitestone.com/stackchain/blocks/` is 200 / 34,488 B / `4f764ef4dfb9c08b…`.
+`decisions/` and `inbox/` were not touched; nothing was executed; no another-party file edited; no
+secret is printed in this check-in or in the files it lands — the long strings in them are build
+messages, snapshot JSON keys and sha256 digests.
