+
+The anonymous raw path serves all four byte-identical to disk, so the deliverable, the staged script and
+the queue record are live and byte-checkable from outside this host. One housekeeping item: a
+`__pycache__/` directory left by `python3 -m py_compile` on the staged script was removed before the
+read-back, and `git status --porcelain` is empty at `3c8623f`.
+
+No secret is printed in this check-in or in the files it lands. The long strings in them are archive
+prose, X page titles, `blocks.json` field values, GitHub URLs and sha256 digests.
