Archived release-assurance evidence

This directory preserves superseded evidence bytes for audit history. Files here are not current release authority and must not be copied to the canonical release-evidence destination without running the current gate.

explorer-runtime-acceptance-v1-2026-07-26.json is the byte-identical legacy receipt formerly stored at release-assurance/explorer-runtime-acceptance.json. Its SHA-256 is a7e1da78e852677f0ce94f1108f057536b5c5ecfb43ff8cf40d221594780f365. It predates the release-bound v2 contract, so its overall passed value records the behaviour of that historical runner and does not approve Explorer v0.6.1 or any later candidate.

The canonical v0.6.2 receipt must be generated afresh at release-assurance/explorer-runtime-acceptance.json by the clean-commit, annotated-tag and exact-candidate v2 release gate. An unbound v1 run is diagnostic and deliberately has overall status failed, even when its individual browser checks pass.
