Live log of empirical validations for RamShared — the single source of truth for "is this actually working right now?". Covers all manual, integration, and E2E validations; taxonomy is detailed in the Categories table below. Anchored on Kahneman #13 (existence ≠ execution; green-in-last-run ≠ green-now), plus #15 (calibrated retry), #16 (fail-safe / independent curator), and #17 (replay idempotency) when the entry is about reconnect, demote/reclaim, or command re-delivery.

## YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM TZ — <title>
**What:** What was validated (1-2 sentences).
**Category:** <tag from the table above>
**How to measure:** Command or test to execute to re-verify. (Optional)
**Measured data:** Raw number/state (e.g., exit 0, 61 passed, count=0, p99=241us, device removed, etc.). No adjectives before numbers.
**Verdict:** ✅ works / 🔴 does not work / 🟡 partial.
**Next action:** Next concrete step, or "none".What: Empirically validate how Windows behaves when the backing storage of an active secondary pagefile is abruptly removed.
Category: fail-safe
How to measure: Perform hot-remove of SCSI virtual disk containing active swapfile in Windows 11 VM. Detail in docs/runbooks/windows-vram-drive-drill.md.
Measured data:
- Scenario A (Mounting):
E:\pagefile.sysallocation size = 4096 MB active after reboot (Win32_PageFileUsage). - Scenario B1 (Displacement): 3 test runs with active user pageouts (~150-200 MB user-mode memory). Hyper-V VHDX detached abruptly. Guest system remained responsive for 120s with 0 BugChecks/BSODs.
- Scenario B2 (Driver IO Error): Not testable (requires custom miniport driver). Verdict: ✅ works (User-space swap loss contained; kernel-page eviction risk unrefuted). Next action: Design the miniport driver to report mediated I/O errors (Scenario B2) rather than physical unplug events.
What: Validate compile status and dynamic linking safety of the custom CUDA wrapper on Unix/Windows targets after refactoring FFI loader splits.
Category: invariant
How to measure: Run cargo test --all on the local workspace to verify compile bindings and FFI wrapper mocks.
Measured data:
- Linked static dynamic dependency
libdlremoved from unix builds. - Split loaders (
loader_unix.rsusingdlopen,loader_win.rsusingwindows-syscrate FFI bindingsLoadLibraryW/GetProcAddress) compiling with 0 warnings. - Workspace unit test suite compilation = SUCCESS. Verdict: ✅ works Next action: None.
What: Audit the workspace for native language leakage, local filesystem paths, or credentials in comments and documents.
Category: local-check
How to measure: Run recursive grep searches for local host paths <legacy-private-root>/ and workstation hostname EMEDEV across the workspace.
Measured data:
- Comments translated to English across all 10 workspace crates (47 files modified).
- Local hostname
EMEDEVreplaced withdev-workstationindocs/BENCHMARKS.md. - File paths
file://<legacy-private-root>/in specs rewritten to relative directories (../../). - 0 raw matching files found for confidential host indicators in
git ls-filestracker. Verdict: ✅ works Next action: None.
What: Validate total workspace build stability and test suite alignment after merging the technical changes and doc consolidations into the main branch.
Category: local-check
How to measure: Run cargo test --all on the main branch.
Measured data:
- 10 crates compiling with 0 clippy warnings.
- Test Suite Rollup: 61 passed, 0 failed, 7 ignored (ignored checks require root/CUDA execution).
- Workspace compilation exit code = 0. Verdict: ✅ works Next action: Push branch main to public origin repository.
What: scripts/p0/measure-cascade-demote.sh on live WSL2 cascade (zram 1G p200 / nbd0 3G p100 / sdb 8G p-2).
Method:
- Hog 2200 MiB hold in cgroup
memory.max=512M(pages spill zram→VRAM). - DEMOTE action =
swapoff /dev/nbd0whileramshareddserves read-back (same path asspawn_swapoff). - Canary trigger path covered by unit tests (
cargo test -p ramshared-wsl2d residency→ 12/12). - RESTORE:
swapon -p 100 /dev/nbd0after verify.
Numbers:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| nbd used before demote | 648 MiB |
| zram used before | 1023 MiB |
| swapoff duration | 14768 ms (~14.8 s) |
| nbd after demote | absent from /proc/swaps |
| vhdx used after demote | 648 MiB (was 5) |
| hog integrity | 563200 pages OK, 0 corruption |
| restore | swapon -p 100 /dev/nbd0 OK |
RAW: <legacy-private-artifact-root>/CASCADE-DEMOTE-20260709-163527.txt
Verdict: DEMOTE action path PASS on live host with active VRAM pages; A1 sink (VHDX) absorbed; cascade restored.
Not proven here: real WDDM latency trigger on this run (unit-tested; free-floor would need GPU contention from host).
Discipline: Kahneman #1 WYSIATI, #3 numbers, #13 no fake PASS, RNF-6 VM-only.

- BugCheck 0x7A
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR - Parameter2 =
0xC0000185(STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR)
Interpretation: with D:\pagefile.sys in use, killing the backend makes page-in I/O fail; if the faulting page is kernel (or non-recoverable), Windows bugchecks. This matches DEGRADATION-MATRIX B1/B2 risk and SPEC DT-9 (pagefile must be off before destroy).
QTeardownOnCrash: snapshot SRBs under lock;RequestCompleteoutside spinlock with realVdGetAdapterExt();Registered=FALSEfirst.- CLEANUP:

| Kill backend | OK |
| I/O post-kill | READ_OK (cache) in ~9s — no hang |
| New minidump | false |

Not re-run after 0x7A proof. Mitigation = DT-9 ordered pagefile-off, not “fail I/O and hope”.
- Storage-stack B2 (no pagefile): PASS (no hang, no BSOD) on VM.
- Pagefile-hot B2: FAIL by Windows design (0x7A) until DT-9 product path.

ITEM-8 lab evidence is sufficient for VM operations. Host-real remains blocked until:
- product
ramshared-winsvcCUDA path on a Windows box with GPU (or signed policy R9), and - B1 checkpoint drill executed.
Artifacts: guest C:\ramshared\bin\winsvc.log, service RamSharedWinSvc.

Hot arm (PF Usage>0) not re-run: already proven 0x7A/c0000185 (dump 27437); DT-9 is the mitigation.
- Host: VS Build Tools present; no cargo.exe on elevated host session.
- Guest: cargo 1.97 but no link.exe MSVC.
- SKIP env-bound: C#
RamSharedWinSvcremains lab SCM; Rustmain.rsinstall/run scaffold ready when MSVC+cargo available.

| B1 safe (no PF) | PASS |
| B1/B2 hot pagefile | FAIL 0x7A → DT-9 required |
| Lab SCM | PASS_LAB_SCM |
| Host-real | FORBIDDEN |
Decision: ITEM-8 lab complete for VM operations. Host-real still blocked until product CUDA path + optional B1 hot with only user pages / partner signing.
What: Align root and track docs with empirical status after Windows lab closeout + WSL2 cascade DEMOTE evidence.
Category: local-check
How to measure: Read README.md status table; ROADMAP.md completed Windows gates; ARCHITECTURE.md dual track; PREFLIGHT.md snapshot; FAQ Windows section; drivers/windows/README.md.
Measured data:
- Day-1 product path documented as Linux/WSL2 only.
- Windows track documented as lab-complete / host-real FORBIDDEN with gates (DT-21, DT-9, B1 safe, SCM, 0x7A hot).
- PREFLIGHT no longer claims “scaffold only / no .sys”.
- Numbers cited only from existing validation/reliability/IMPL evidence (no new host-real PASS). Verdict: ✅ works (docs honesty) Next action: Product CUDA Windows path + MSVC winsvc when env available; keep host-real blocked.
What: Opt-in systemd cascade boot (fail-closed preflight, stop=down), idempotent up, env size defaults; rewrite root docs to plain language.
Category: local-check + integration (scripts)
How to measure:
cargo test -p ramshared-cli
# on a ready GPU WSL with systemd:

cargo test -p ramshared-cli: 17 passed, 0 failed- docs-check: OK; INDEX includes
wsl2-cascade-bootDONE - Full reboot e2e on this agent host: not claimed (user opt-in)
Verdict: ✅ code path ready / 🟡 boot e2e deferred to operator enable
Next action: User with systemd:

What: Decision PRD: is kernel-true VRAM-as-process-memory the best approach vs cascade? Category: local-check Measured data: PRD written under docs/specs/no-milestone/kernel-vram-as-memory/; verdict WSL=NO-GO for LKM Day-0; bare-metal=research GO / implement NO-GO until gates; cascade remains product. Verdict: ✅ PRD decision recorded (no SPEC/IMPL — correct for gated track) Next action: bare-metal lab inventory or explicit "blocked on hardware" if no lab.
What: (1) Kernel track lab inventory on emedev WSL2. (2) Desktop control app (zenity/CLI) for cascade. Category: local-check + integration Measured data:
- WSL_YES; GPU RTX 2060 via GPU-PV (PCI vendor 0x1414); no /dev/dri; kernel-true Gate A1 FAIL
- PASSO0: docs/specs/no-milestone/kernel-vram-as-memory/PASSO0-INVENTORY.md
- cascade-app status: shows disk-only swap (cushion off)
- zenity+DISPLAY present; install-cascade-app.sh writes .desktop
- bash -n cascade-app OK

Measured data:
- Script verdict file wrote PASS — FALSE PASS: only checked zram/nbd priority lines in
/proc/swaps. - After each terminate, kernel VM kept swap (
/zram0prio 200,/nbd0prio 100) but wiped/run/ramsharedand killedramsharedd. - Boot unit then FAILED:
ha swap nbd/ublk ativo sem estado /run/ramshared (orfao). UNIT_ACTIVE=failed,DAEMON=noneon both rounds — product path not healthy.- Agent chat/WSL session dropped (expected on terminate) — user perceived freeze.
- Post-incident recovery (manual): deep clean nbd/zram +
ramshared up→ healthy again:- zram0 prio 200, nbd0 prio 100, sdc -2, daemon alive under
/run/ramshared. Verdict: ❌ soak failed for daemon+unit; swap devices reappeared but were orphans (unsafe). Root cause:wsl --terminate≠ full VM teardown when restart is immediate; swap survives in shared kernel;/rundoes not;upfail-closes on orphan (correct safety, bad boot UX without auto-recover). Next action: boot recover path (swapoff orphan managed → re-up) in cascade-up/preflight; tighten soak success criteria to require daemon + unit active.

- sparse log 4G:

capacity=6144 MiB commit_cap=5631 MiB reserve_floor=512(total−reserve on 6143 MiB GPU) - pressure with 4G nbd: zram→nbd PASS; nbd remains
- unit tests sparse: 8 passed (floor refuse + safe_commit_cap) Verdict: ✅ 4G live; 6G capacity safe via commit_cap; free-floor on alloc
What: Close the Phase 1 audit findings without live memory pressure.
Code evidence:
- constrained WDDM admission completes the already accepted NBD write and schedules demote;
- startup CUDA fallback is limited to
/dev/dxgunavailable; - teardown retries and refuses CUDA release without confirmed swapoff plus
used_kb == 0; - controller polls WDDM/swapoff every 5 seconds and recovers only an empty tier after 3 healthy samples.
Validation:
- workspace default tests: 273 passed; 22 environment-gated;
- safe GPU ignored tests: 5 passed;
ramshared-dxg: 92/92 lines covered (100%);autotier.rs: 68/68 lines covered (100%);- fmt, clippy
-D warnings, RustSec, cargo-deny, and docs-check: GREEN; - final daemon release inode matches the running process and
/dev/dxgis open; - final swap order: zram 200 → nbd0 100 → sdc -2; nbd0 used=0; no ghost swap.
Not claimed: live host-budget pressure with resident swap pages. That benchmark remains isolated-lab only.
Verdict: ✅ Phase 1 code/deployment GREEN; isolated pressure gate remains open. Next action: none.
What: Full PnP driver load, NTFS volume format, paged-pool residency (ITEM-8), crash containment (B1/B2), and ordered teardown safety (DT-9) validations on VM.

D:(read/writesmoke.txtOK). - Pagefile residency (DT-21): 1 GB paged-pool allocation via
poolstress.sysforced swapout of 15 MB dirty kernel pages toD:\pagefile.sys(occupancy rose from 0 MB to 15 MB). - Backend crash containment (B1/B2): Abrupt termination of backend process did not crash the system; VM remained responsive and remote sessions reconnected cleanly.
- Ordered teardown safety (DT-9): Normal stop on active pagefile refused (
exit 2,REFUSE_KILL), while forced stop killed the backend cleanly (exit 0). - Campaign result:
OVERALL=PASS_WITH_SKIPS(0 failures, 27/27 files parsed). Verdict: ✅ works (MVP fully verified on guest VM). Next action: none (physical GPU/CUDA integration follows).

- disk Event ID 51: "Erro … HarddiskN … durante uma operação de paginação" (paging I/O error) — historical bursts e.g. 2026-07-03 Harddisk5, 2026-07-11 Harddisk6 Evidence (WSL dmesg this boot):
- OOM memcg:

- Entire Ubuntu root =

I:\wsl_swap\swap.vhdx(4.1G) same physical volume I: - unrelated workload builds write inside ext4.vhdx on I: → swap page-ins/outs also hit I: → queue collapse looks like “0 KB/s forever” Lab contribution (same day earlier):
- hung
ramshared-winsvcin kernel Stopping + orphan RAMSHARE LUN (100% disk / 0 KB/s) → storage stack sticky → reboot may hang Actions taken:
- cascade-down (nbd/zram off);
systemctl disable ramshared-cascade(work mode) docker builder prune -freclaimed ~12.74 GB- Document: do not co-run StorPort Online thrash + unrelated workload full stack on I:
Verdict: 🟡 root cause class identified (paging thrash on I: + concurrent load); host stable after cascade off; residual risk if I: fills or swap thrash during mega-builds

What: Re-audit and correct the storage-only product runtime, teardown boundary, Windows I/O lifetime, evidence, and isolated-VM harness after the prior solution produced unsafe teardown and overstated validation.
Category: reliability / security / Windows StorPort / regression
Corrections implemented:
- Exact unique LUN identity is required before pagefile Gate A or any volume mutation. Candidate letters and pre-identity dismount were removed.
- Volume-lock/query/identity ambiguity is a hard refusal. Code 7 retains all owners and resumes
Online service; SCM no longer reports
Runningafter owners have been dropped. - An independent 5-second CUDA observer enters failed-safe without destroying possibly-live state.
- Startup no longer replays
DESTROYfrom evidence; partial acquisition unwinds in reverse and broker release failures are not hidden. - Cancelled overlapped IOCTLs are drained before their
OVERLAPPEDstorage leaves scope; partial Windows queue allocation is cleaned up. - Config is checked and read through one no-follow handle. OS helper calls are bounded.
- Run/event identity, timestamps, actual counters, bounded latency sampling, and requested-byte evidence were corrected.
- The guest harness now bounds every PowerShell Direct call using jobs, measures real elapsed time, stops the VM on failure, and requires an active verifier plus a running driver for pass 2.
- The IOCTL script no longer accepts a size-only VPD fallback and no longer emits
STATUS=PASSwhile mandatory foreign-owner/reserved-CQE/re-entry/rundown verdicts are zero.

Isolated VM result: The pre-Verifier pass proved the prior single-process subset and foreign-owner
refusal. REFUSE_RESERVED_CQE, completion re-entry, and teardown-during-copy rundown remain unproved.
After enabling standard Driver Verifier for ramshared.sys, Hyper-V showed win11-drill Running but
PowerShell Direct did not become ready even after more than six minutes. The campaign was aborted and
the VM was confirmed Off. No physical-host reset or destructive storage test was performed.
Correction to the earlier freeze postmortem: Event 41 and 6008 prove an unexpected shutdown, not
its cause. Historical Event 51 records do not prove the affected HarddiskN was the I: device or that
queue collapse caused this incident. The dual-VHDX/pagefile topology and concurrent lab load remain a
risk hypothesis only. A captured storage trace plus disk-number-to-device correlation is required for
a causal conclusion.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL — corrected userspace safety and hermetic/cross-target gates are green; Driver Verifier, three concurrent Ring 0/3 injectors, and a supervised physical run of the corrected binary remain mandatory. Earlier physical CUDA/SHA evidence does not validate this corrected binary.
Next action: recover/revert the checkpointed guest, rebuild/sign the current miniport, implement the missing concurrent injectors, then run the complete Verifier matrix. Only after that, run the supervised physical three-round campaign with exact identity and teardown evidence.

IOCTL_PASS1=PASS
IOCTL_VERIFIER=PASS
VERIFIER_RAN=true
GUEST_EXIT=0
Pass 2: Verifier flags 0x2093B on ramshared.sys (no DMA flag for virtual miniport).
verifier /query listed MODULE: ramshared.sys (load: 1 / unload: 0). All ITEM-3 verdicts = 1
including VPD + concurrent probes; NO_NEW_DUMP=1. VM Off; verifier reset best-effort.
Harness fix: schedule Verifier then guest shutdown /r (not only Restart-VM -Force); PSD wait 600s.
Still open for product DONE: physical ramshared-winsvc Online E2E on this corrected stack;
optional SRB-level re-entry/rundown-during-READ drill.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL (product) / guest StorPort ITEM-3+Verifier PASS for #54.
What: physical Online preflight RED (Online skipped). Issue: #54 residual product gate (physical winsvc Online). Issue: #54 residual product gate (physical winsvc Online).
Supervision: read README + rules + MEMORY; no reboot; no thrash; no Online.

Empty tool output: earlier elevated calls sometimes returned exit 0 with empty/truncated capture
(wrapper/UNC). This preflight used PREFLIGHT: line labels; Windows capture has 36 lines
(/tmp/physical-preflight-windows.txt + evidence copies). Silence was not treated as success.

PREFLIGHT=RED → Online SKIPPED.
Reasons: BINARY_MATCH miniport fail; no installed backup; README lab-VM-only for Windows driver on
daily host; orphan PnP disk without Get-Disk entry; no reboot allowed to swap guest-proven .sys.
Safe state: no Online started; userspace service stopped; kernel miniport left loaded (no thrash
unload). Evidence:
docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/evidence/physical-preflight-20260716T010502Z.txt
and physical-preflight-windows-20260716T010502Z.txt.
Tests: cargo test -p ramshared-winsvc --lib → 77 pass / 1 ignored. docs-check OK.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL — guest StorPort+Verifier green; physical Online not proven and not safe to run under this preflight.
What: lab GPU probe: no CUDA in win11-drill (Online skipped) Constraint: daily-host preflight RED remains binding (no host Online/reboot/unload).
win11-drill GPU inventory:
- Host:
Get-VMGpuPartitionAdaptercount=1 but empty InstancePath/MinPartitionVRAM; AssignableDevice=0 - Guest: Hyper-V Video OK; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 PnP Error (
PCI\VEN_1414&DEV_008E);nvidia-smiMISSING;nvcuda.dllfalse
Decision: Guest product Online (CUDA) cannot run. Not faked.
Guest StorPort ITEM-3 + Verifier already PASS (guest-exhaustive-20260715-214831, sys 1E57690E…).
Physical host Online still RED (physical-preflight-20260716T010502Z: installed E690306F… ≠ package).
Closed safely this turn:
cargo test -p ramshared-winsvc --lib77 pass / 1 ignored- slice coverage ≥80% on winsvc business files (broker/config/driver_link/evidence/runtime/service)
STATIC_INJECTOR_TEST=PASS- clippy/fmt winsvc OK; docs-check OK
- VM left Off
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL (product). Terminal safe: no Online, no host thrash, lab VM Off.
What: Supervised the bounded GPU-PV driver-package attempt, stopped it after the ten-minute ceiling, and performed an independent non-destructive verification closeout.
Safe terminal state: win11-drill Off; guest and host staging removed; host RTX 2060 OK and
visible through nvidia-smi -L. Guest NVIDIA remained CM_PROB_FAILED_POST_START, so DLL/tool
presence was not accepted as CUDA proof. No blind retry, uninstall, host reboot, miniport change,
WSL2 pressure, commit, or merge occurred.
Fresh local gates: native tests (block 41, CUDA 5 + 1 ignored, winsvc 77 + 1 ignored), clippy
-D warnings, fmt check, docs-check, diff check, and selected coverage ≥80% all passed. The isolated
StorPort concurrent-injector/rundown/Verifier campaign remains PASS.
Promotion matrix: physical BINARY_MATCH BLOCKED; real GPU-PV CUDA BLOCKED; product Online with
three SHA rounds and cleanup BLOCKED; WSL2 freeze-elimination claim BLOCKED. The WSL2 claim requires
an isolated twice-repeated before→action→after hang campaign with watchdog/timeout, swapoff-first,
ghost/deleted-plus-used-kB, binary match, D-state/hung-task evidence, and cleanup. It was not run on
the daily host.
Evidence:
docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/evidence/gpupv-safe-close-20260716T025812Z.txt
and evidence/verification-closeout-20260716.md.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL — proven subsets remain green; CUDA Online and WSL2 freeze resolution are explicitly not proven.
What: Product-gates review found that Invoke-WinDriveIoctlValidation.ps1 could set
VPD_SERIAL_MATCH=1 from a unique size/name match or one live PnP RAMSHARE device without observing
the required 16-byte VPD serial. The harness now requires vendor/product + exact serial + exact size
on one authoritative storage surface, and its static regression test forbids both permissive
fallbacks.
Measured gates: Windows PowerShell 5.1 parser PASS; STATIC_INJECTOR_TEST=PASS;
STATIC_VPD_FALLBACK_REFUSAL=PASS with a negative fixture; staged WDK
10.0.26100.0 build BUILD_DRIVERS_OK (ramshared.sys 31,744 bytes; staging removed); native Rust
tests/clippy/fmt PASS; MSVC cross-target clippy PASS; selected coverage 80.0%–95.5%; docs/diff checks
PASS; cargo audit --no-fetch PASS.
Live read-only preflight: installed miniport SHA256 E690306F…; package SHA256 1E57690E…;
BINARY_MATCH=false; kernel service Running; userspace service Stopped. No Online, install,
replacement, reboot, or pressure action was performed.
Evidence:
docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/evidence/vpd-false-green-audit-20260716.md.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL — historical non-VPD injector/rundown/Verifier observations remain useful, but the prior aggregate ITEM-3 PASS is invalidated until the corrected harness is rerun in the isolated VM.
Additional teardown correction: the read-only identity query returns the standard friendly name
RAMSHARE VRAMDISK SCSI Disk Device. The prior parser split only once and compared product
VRAMDISK SCSI Disk Device against exact VRAMDISK, falsely refusing every legitimate stop before
Gate A. The parser now accepts only the exact two-token product identity with either no suffix or the
standard SCSI Disk Device suffix; mismatched prefixes and arbitrary suffixes remain refused. The
paired positive/refusal unit test passed, the winsvc library result is now 78 passed / 1 ignored, and
service slice coverage is 84.9%.
What: corrected exact-VPD guest rerun fails honestly. Campaign: C:\ramshared\artifacts\guest-exhaustive-20260716-104650 using corrected harness SHA
Campaign: C:\ramshared\artifacts\guest-exhaustive-20260716-104650 using corrected harness SHA
6D7B2DC1… and miniport SHA 1E57690E….
Before: win11-drill Off; GPU partition rollback restored one bare adapter with empty partition
values; DDA count 0; host RTX 2060 OK. Only the corrected IOCTL harness was deployed to the host lab
bin directory.
Action: bounded Run-GuestExhaustive.ps1 without -SkipVerifier. PowerShell Direct became ready,
the package deployed, pass 1 completed, the guest rebooted normally under Verifier, PSD returned in
82 seconds, and pass 2 completed with Verifier flags 0x2093B active on ramshared.sys.
Result: both passes had every required non-VPD verdict = 1, including the three concurrent
injectors, foreign-owner refusal, and NO_NEW_DUMP. Both correctly failed with
VPD_SERIAL_MATCH=0; summary IOCTL_PASS1=FAIL, IOCTL_VERIFIER=FAIL, VERIFIER_RAN=true, guest
exit 2. No blind retry was performed.
After: VM Off; verifier reset best-effort; one bare GPU partition adapter with empty values; DDA count 0; host RTX 2060 OK.
Evidence: docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/evidence/ioctl-guest-*-exact-vpd*.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL — injector/rundown/Verifier subset passes; the miniport identity path must surface exact vendor/product/VPD serial/size before ITEM-3 can pass.
What: VPD placeholder PDO cache lifecycle corrected statically
Cause: before CREATE, the miniport reported LUN 0 and VPD 0x80 with sixteen synthetic zero bytes.
Windows cached that child PDO identity; BusChangeDetected did not replace it after CREATE, matching
the corrected campaign's VPD_SERIAL_MATCH=0 and stale PnP identities.
Fix: the control device stays available, but the storage bus reports no LUN before CREATE. INQUIRY/capacity return NO_DEVICE; CREATE publishes complete serial/size then triggers an absent→present bus rescan. Serial input is exactly uppercase 16-hex; no synthetic/default serial remains. INQUIRY/VPD short allocations and READ CAPACITY(10/16) are now bounded and implemented.
Static/build evidence: STATIC_SCSI_LIFECYCLE_TEST=PASS, STATIC_INJECTOR_TEST=PASS, negative
no-LUN fixture PASS, and WDK 26100 /W4 /WX /wd4324 BUILD_DRIVERS_OK. The only disabled warning is
WDK storport.h C4324 for explicitly aligned structures; project warnings remain errors. Unsigned
image: 32,256 bytes, SHA256 5A1B7C830935F8C8B79DEA552D4CBB098548E5E5894B3F23672D099EA92674EC.
Staging was removed.
Evidence:
docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/evidence/vpd-cache-lifecycle-fix-20260716.md.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL — rebuild/sign/deploy plus isolated exact-VPD + Verifier rerun is still required. No VM run or physical-host mutation occurred in this correction step.
What: signed VPD lifecycle rerun remains RED. Campaign: one bounded no-retry run,
Package: isolated WDK 26100 /W4 /WX /wd4324 build, Inf2Cat with zero warnings/errors, valid
SYS/CAT/poolstress Authenticode, and no trust-store change. Signed package and guest-installed
ramshared.sys matched at SHA256 CD7E315D0DA5B24BB05C384846D7BA8123390300D2C3A3F73B10E52F9E80BC34.
Harness source/staged SHA matched at 6D7B2DC1….
Campaign: one bounded no-retry run,
C:\ramshared\artifacts\guest-exhaustive-20260716-111439, without -SkipVerifier. Get-Disk had no
RAMSHARE disk before CREATE, but the PnP snapshot retained historical RAMSHARE child PDOs including
one OK, so the no-stale-child lifecycle gate failed. Normal and Verifier passes both failed only
VPD_SERIAL_MATCH=0; every other ITEM-3 verdict and NO_NEW_DUMP was 1. Verifier flags 0x2093B
were active; module load/unload was 1/0; no dumps appeared.
After: no retry; VM Off; Verifier reset best-effort; one bare GPU-PV adapter; DDA=0; host RTX 2060 OK; isolated staging removed. No physical driver install, Online action, trust-store mutation, host reboot, commit, or merge.
Evidence: docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/evidence/signed-vpd-lifecycle-rerun-20260716.md
and raw evidence/guest-exhaustive-20260716-111439/.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL / VPD BLOCKED — the signed live result disproves promotion of the current
BusChangeDetected lifecycle fix; retained child-PDO identity must be resolved and re-proven.
What: exact VPD + Driver Verifier PASS. Campaign: isolated guest C:\ramshared\artifacts\guest-exhaustive-20260716-120459. The deployed
Campaign: isolated guest C:\ramshared\artifacts\guest-exhaustive-20260716-120459. The deployed
and guest-loaded ramshared.sys matched SHA256
CD7E315D0DA5B24BB05C384846D7BA8123390300D2C3A3F73B10E52F9E80BC34. A mandatory post-deploy
reboot remapped the package image after the prior SCM 1056 stale-image condition; PSD returned in
93 seconds, inside the 300-second bound.
Result: normal and Verifier passes returned STATUS=PASS and exit 0. Every required ITEM-3
verdict was 1 in both passes. VPD_SERIAL_MATCH=1 observed vendor/product RAMSHARE/VRAMDISK, exact
serial ABCDEF0123456789, and capacity 134217728 bytes on one Win32_DiskDrive candidate. Capacity
came from IOCTL_DISK_GET_LENGTH_INFO; the CHS-derived WMI size was not accepted. Driver Verifier
flags were 0x2093B, with ramshared.sys load/unload 1/0. NO_NEW_DUMP=1 in both passes.
Root-cause closure: before CREATE, REPORT LUNS is empty and INQUIRY/capacity return NO_DEVICE;
CREATE publishes the validated serial and size before BusChangeDetected. Historical RAMSHARE child
PDOs were removed in the isolated guest. The harness now rejects friendly-name, size-only, and PnP
presence fallbacks.
Independent closeout audit: git diff --check, docs-check, cargo fmt --all -- --check,
cargo clippy -p ramshared-winsvc --all-targets -- -D warnings, and 78 winsvc tests passed; one live
CUDA test remained explicitly ignored. The SCSI/injector static test first reproduced a direct WSL
UNC invocation failure (exit 1, empty $PSScriptRoot during parameter-default evaluation), then
passed directly with exit 0 after resolving defaults from $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path at runtime.
The canonical WDK script then reproduced one deterministic /Zi UNC-PDB failure (C1041), moved the
fix to the build layer (/W4 /WX /wd4324 /Z7), and returned BUILD_DRIVERS_OK. The resulting unsigned
ramshared.sys was 32,256 bytes with SHA256 A56D4C4F…; it was not deployed. Checkpatch over the
Windows-driver diff returned 0 errors and 0 warnings. The Windows MSVC toolchain cross-build passed
from a disposable local staging copy. Slice coverage passed at config 95.5%, evidence 91.9%, driver
link 87.7%, broker tenant 85.9%, runtime 86.8%, service 84.9%, and CUDA probe 80.0%.
After: a read-only recapture recorded win11-drill Off, one GPU-PV adapter with empty partition
values, DDA count 0, host display NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 status OK, and successful nvidia-smi.
No physical Online action, host driver replacement, pressure campaign, commit, or merge occurred.

What: teardown audit correction + InfVerif DIRID 13 PASS
The 174238 campaign remains an empirical successful run, but its product-closure interpretation is
invalidated. Audit found CREATE-only stop identity, registry-only pagefile authority, an unbounded
mutating lock worker, and an incomplete harness exit conjunction.
RED/GREEN corrections now require live letter-to-disk/VPD/capacity identity plus a single-disk-extent recheck, configured+active pagefile union fail-closed, a 30-second lock deadline that never resumes Online with a mutating worker outstanding, and three fresh no-retry lifecycle rounds with complete cleanup verdicts. These corrections are not yet live-proven, so product status remains PARTIAL.
INF package isolation was separately validated with the real WDK 10.0.26100.0 tool. Initial DIRID 13
migration produced ERROR(1199) until the model was restricted to build 16299+. Final
InfVerif.exe /w drivers/windows/ramshared/ramshared.inf exited 0 with empty output. No driver
install/load, VM mutation, physical-host action, commit, or push occurred for this validation.
Evidence: docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/evidence/infverif-dirid13-pass-20260716.md.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL
What: teardown hardening static close; signed live rerun blocked
Additional audit found two more ownership gaps: CUDA DeviceMem was dropped only after
LeaseRelease, and a release flush failure removed the authoritative lease from memory. TDD now
consumes the backend to free DeviceMem, verifies CUDA restoration within 64 MiB, then releases the
lease. Ambiguous release retains the lease and is not replayed. The wildcard configured pagefile
path ?:\pagefile.sys is now unsafe for every product volume, and non-DOS paths fail closed.
Full Rust, native/Windows clippy, MSVC release build, WDK /W4 /WX build, InfVerif, PowerShell
parser/static tests, docs, diff, and >=80% slice coverage are green. Live rerun was not attempted:
SignTool could see the machine certificate but could not access its private key from the current
token, and no PFX password was available. No permission/trust-store bypass, driver install, VM
mutation, physical-host action, commit, or push was performed.
Evidence: docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/evidence/teardown-hardening-static-20260716.md.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL
What: Rebuilt current ramshared-winsvc with the corrected teardown identity path, deployed the
DIRID-13 signed miniport package to win11-drill, and ran the corrected no-retry three-lifecycle
GPU-PV product campaign.
Result:
| Gate | Result |
|---|---|
| Campaign | guest-product-online-20260716-201130 |
| Lifecycle rounds | 3 |
| ONLINE + CUDA | PASS, RTX 2060 via GPU-PV |
| DriverStore/package BINARY_MATCH | PASS, E297B73F… |
| Product exe | C6C9EB92… |
| SHA I/O | PASS in all 3 rounds |
| Graceful stop | PASS, no force-kill |
| Lease release | PASS, lease 1 liberado each round |
| CUDA restored | PASS |
| Dumps | none new |
| Terminal | VM Off, host RTX 2060 OK |
Fixes proven: startup LUN wait pumps COMMIT; PnP root device is recreated/enabled without leaving
ROOT\RAMSHARED disabled; DriverStore mismatch aborts before product start; stop identity binds
letter + exact VPD serial + configured size without the teardown-time PhysicalDriveN length IOCTL;
harness captures RuntimeSummary exit_code: 0 when the PowerShell process object returns a null
ExitCode.
Verdict: ✅ isolated GPU-PV storage-only product path works.
Still not claimed: physical daily-host authorization, SDV/Code Analysis, dedicated live StartIo READ-copy race strengthening, and WSL2 freeze elimination. The WSL2 freeze claim still requires a separate isolated before/action/after hang campaign; no daily WSL2 pressure/thrash was run.
Evidence: docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/evidence/guest-product-online-20260716-201130.md.
What: Rebuilt the current Windows product and driver package, fixed project Code Analysis
warnings, published signed package ramshared.sys SHA 97FD7B37…, and reran both product Online
and exhaustive IOCTL/Verifier campaigns on isolated win11-drill.
Category: integration
How to measure: Re-run isolated lab harness under scripts/windows/ (e.g. Run-GuestProductOnline.ps1 / Run-GuestExhaustive.ps1) with signed package; see docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-storport-cuda-vram/.

| Dumps | none new |
| Terminal | VM Off; verifier reset best-effort; host RTX 2060 OK |
Fixes proven: stale DriverStore ramshared.inf packages are purged before install; missing
post-reboot ROOT\RAMSHARED\0000 is recreated via SetupAPI before IOCTL; root PnP and SCSIAdapter
must be OK|problem=0; CUDA restoration still requires the 64 MiB threshold but now polls briefly
before declaring failure.
Verdict: ✅ works for the isolated GPU-PV storage-only product and current signed IOCTL/Verifier package.
Next action: Keep physical daily-host Online, SDV, dedicated StartIo READ-copy live race, and isolated WSL2 freeze-elimination campaigns as separate non-claims.

What: Applied Day-0 discipline: SPEC DT-30 marks Static Driver Verifier N/A on VS2022/WDK 26100 (Microsoft retirement, not missing install). Primary kernel gates remain Code Analysis + Driver Verifier + live IOCTL. IMPL gate matrix separates claimed, N/A, policy RED, and env-bound partial.

What: Probed WSL distro RamShared-Kernel (custom kernel 6.18.35.2) as candidate freeze lab. Confirmed it mounts /mnt/c/Users on the same Windows desktop host as Ubuntu-24.04 — not disposable isolab. Tightened wsl2-freeze-campaign.sh so /mnt/c/Users marks shared desktop (any distro) and refuses --run-isolated without FORCE.

What: Implemented the safe P2 code surface for the generic Windows host/DCC
consumer: DccAgent transport, bounded local JSON-lines protocol, TOML config
crate, Windows memory-pressure sampler boundary, deterministic evidence
explanations, and the generic DCC lease/status path.
Measured data:
cargo test --workspace --all-targets: PASS, 650 tests passed; only explicitly privileged/GPU/ublk tests remained ignored by environment gates.- Targeted Clippy with
-D warnings: PASS. cargo fmt --all, Python syntax compilation, andgit diff --check: PASS.
Safety boundaries: the DCC path can request/release a broker lease but cannot issue swap commands; local messages are capped at 64 KiB; process attribution is omitted unless explicitly observed.
Still not claimed: live WDDM pressure caused by an external GPU workload, successful DEMOTE under that pressure, real scene completion under the lease, and the isolated two-round WSL2 freeze campaign. The shared desktop was not thrashed.
Verdict: 🟡 PARTIAL — code green, hardware gates open
Evidence: docs/specs/no-milestone/memory-broker/IMPL.md
What: Re-ran the freeze campaign gate and read-only cascade health probes after the generic naming/adapter changes.
Measured data:
wsl2-freeze-campaign.sh --check-gates --json:gates_ok=false, reasondaily_host_refused_without_isolated_lab_flag.Test-Wsl2FreezeCampaignStatic.sh:STATIC_WSL2_FREEZE_CAMPAIGN=PASS.cascade-health.sh --once:ok=true, daemon absent, no ghost swap, zero zram/VRAM swap, disk swap used ~203 MiB, GPU free ~4508 MiB, D-state 0.
Verdict: 🟡 ENVIRONMENT-BOUND — correctly refused destructive action.
The WDDM pressure and two-round freeze gates remain unclaimed. Running them on this shared desktop would violate the repository host-safety policy.
What: Verified the correct non-interactive access path for the named lab VMs and documented it for future agents without storing secrets.

What: Rechecked older records and restored the documented non-interactive access path for the Hyper-V Linux lab.
Measured data:
- Historical record found: 2026-07-10 validation said SSH worked from the Windows host, not from WSL NAT.
- Local access file confirms user

Docs / script hygiene:
- Added
scripts/windows/Get-LinuxKernelLabAccess.ps1. - Updated
docs/labs/HYPERV-VM-ACCESS.mdwith ARP fallback and SSH smoke commands.
Verdict: ✅ linux-kernel-lab is accessible again for non-destructive
kernel-build/smoke work via Windows-host SSH. It remains unsuitable for VRAM
proof because it has no GPU assignment.
What: Removed the app-specific DCC adapter surface from this slice. The product behavior and public tree now use generic workload/DCC naming instead of promoting one GPU application as the architecture.
Measured data:
- Removed the app-specific Python adapter from
integrations/. - Replaced the app-specific render probe with
scripts/p0/measure-gpu-workload-vram.ps1, which only samples aggregate VRAM/RAM while any external GPU workload runs. - Updated README, naming rules, PRD/SPEC/IMPL, reliability docs, and validation text to generic GPU workload / DCC host language.
- App-specific name scan over README/docs/scripts/crates/validation/rules: PASS.
- PowerShell parser for
measure-gpu-workload-vram.ps1: PASS. cargo test -p ramshared-agent --all-targets: PASS../scripts/docs-check.sh: PASS.git diff --check: PASS.- Terminal state confirmed:
win11-drill=Off,linux-kernel-lab=Off.
Verdict: ✅ The current slice no longer exposes an app-specific integration name as product architecture. Host-specific adapters remain deferred.
What: Extended the generic naming audit to changelog/history text, filesystem paths, and the documented elevated Hyper-V access path.
Measured data:
- Removed stale app-specific render-script wording from
CHANGELOG.md. - Public content scan for example application names and old integration/script
names across repo surfaces, excluding local-only
MEMORY.md: PASS. - Filesystem path scan for old app-specific directories/files: PASS.

- Secret literal scan: PASS.
- PowerShell parser checks for changed Windows/P0 scripts: PASS.
Test-LinuxKernelLabAccessStatic.ps1: PASS../scripts/docs-check.sh: PASS.git diff --check: PASS.- Elevated VM state probe through
scripts/windows/wsl-elevated-ps.sh: PASS, with bothwin11-drillandlinux-kernel-labOff.
Verdict: ✅ The current working tree is ready for normal review/test of the generic VRAM reclaim, host-agent, VM-access, and naming-policy slice. Destructive root/GPU ignored tests remain intentionally gated to isolated lab execution.
What: Executed the previously ignored CUDA, Vulkan, root ublk, VRAM ublk, fio, and bounded swap tests. The standalone ublk daemon smoke was executed via the existing isolated QEMU drill instead of opening its WSL2 freeze gate on the daily host.
Bugs found and fixed:
ublk_control_smokeassumedUBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPYwas absent. Current WSL2 ublk advertises it, so the test now asserts the current feature contract.- Current ublk rejects tiny 128 KiB smoke disks and BASIC params with
max_sectors=0.Params::basic_disknow defaults to 8 sectors (4 KiB), and ublk smoke disks use 1 MiB minimum where needed. - Removed Portuguese strings/comments from the touched ublk UAPI/test code.

Verdict: ✅ The ignored root/GPU surface is now exercised. The only WSL2 freeze-gated daemon case remains unsafe to run on the daily host and is covered by the isolated QEMU drill that validates serve + SIGTERM teardown + device removal.
What: Added a tracked public hygiene gate and a reliability gap register so future agents cannot silently reintroduce example-app naming, signing-password literals, or false DONE promotion for environment-bound claims. Category: ci-gate + documentation How to measure:

Verdict: ✅ Current public hygiene gap is closed with a repeatable gate; environment-bound product claims remain explicitly PARTIAL until their listed evidence exists.
What: Added a machine-checkable gate for docs/reliability/GAP-REGISTER.md.
It enforces concrete open-gate rows, rejects DONE/PASS promotion in the open
table, rejects placeholder close evidence, and verifies that primary docs link
back to the register.

Verdict: ✅ Current isolated QEMU drills now include binary-match evidence. The universal WSL2 freeze claim remains PARTIAL until the separate GPU-PV/dxg host-reclaim campaign exists.
What: Ran the supervised shared-host WSL2 pressure campaign with a generic
Windows CUDA workload consuming 4096 MiB of VRAM, WSL2 sparse VRAM capacity
4096 MiB, zram 1024 MiB, and host disk telemetry for C: and I:.

- Final health:

What: Closed the remaining WSL2 1 GiB, WSL2 4 GiB, and calibrated split
matrix rows under the approved Windows watchdog harness. Hardened the runner so
integrity work completes before staged external pressure, the split runner
captures all PowerShell streams, and matrix closure requires the nested
campaign summary to report both PASS and matrix_row_close=true.

- Linux/WSL2 local bundle manifest verification and archive read: PASS.
InfVerif.exeis absent on this host. Public Windows distribution remains blocked on production trust/attestation and its clean-tag install, rollback, and recovery drill; test-signing is not release evidence. Verdict: ✅ The calibrated Linux/WSL2 GiB reclaim matrix is closed on the RTX 2060 surface. NBD remains the stable day-one transport; ublk stays deliberately deferred. Windows remains a supervised beta until the external production-signing gate is completed.
What: Audited all 36 open Jules-generated PRs (#107 through #142) and
consolidated the valid concerns into one owning-layer implementation. Rejected
parallel swapoff/NBD teardown, flaky kernel-specific fake-device tests,
duplicate substring path checks, generated root junk, and unmeasured
micro-optimizations. Kept NBD as the MVP transport and deferred the ublk
OwnedFd refactor to its dedicated lifecycle scope.

- Agent PSI/cgroup slice coverage: 94.8%.
- WSL2 daemon touched slices: 92.7%–100%.
- Whole-file CLI coverage reports 4.2% for

Live cascade/matrix evidence remains the authoritative E2E gate for the shell boundary. product_online.rsis Windows-cfg and absent from the Linux llvm-cov profile; Windows build/static/live campaign evidence is required instead. Verdict: ✅ Accepted/reworked Jules concerns are consolidated without weakening teardown order. Rejected/deferred PRs are not part of the MVP claim.
What: Audited teardown identity, broker reconciliation, telemetry sinks,
campaign summaries, privileged socket paths, dependency advisories, and
release-facing documentation. Fixed exact NBD matching, fail-closed
/proc/swaps reads, lifecycle allowlists, broker slice attribution, telemetry
write visibility, WSL campaign PASS criteria, and summary validation.

SHA256SUMS: PASS. - No new destructive pressure run was performed. Existing 2026-07-22 and 2026-07-24 supervised live artifacts remain the before/action/after evidence. Verdict: ✅ The confirmed post-release lifecycle and telemetry defects are fixed with fail-closed behavior and named regressions. The Linux/WSL2 NBD MVP claim remains bounded to the previously validated surface; Windows public distribution and ublk product transport remain BLOCKED/DEFERRED respectively.
What: Real-host smoke validation for the stable v0.7.4 tag and cleanup of the Windows test-signing state.
Environment: exact tag v0.7.4; bounded WSL2 smoke on the real host with
ramshared up --vram 128 --zram 128, followed by graceful down.
Measured data:
- Online state: daemon alive, VRAM/zram present, no ghost devices, expected ordering, and GPU free memory approximately 4729 MiB: PASS.
- Final state: daemon stopped, no VRAM/zram/ghost devices, disk swap only, and GPU free memory approximately 4901 MiB: PASS.
- Windows cleanup: the test-signed
ramsharedservice, ROOT\RAMSHARED device, andoem25.infpackage were removed;testsigningandnointegritycheckswere disabled; no RAMSHARE LUN or pagefile remained: PASS. - Firmware Secure Boot remains physically disabled (
UEFISecureBootEnabled=0) and requires a manual UEFI enable/reboot before any anti-cheat compatibility claim. The Windows driver is therefore not an official distribution yet.
Verdict: ✅ v0.7.4 WSL2 bounded smoke is reproducible on the real host. Windows driver use remains limited to a separately isolated, test-signed development environment until Microsoft signing and Secure Boot verification are complete.
What: Reproduced the shared-host WSL pressure hang, corrected watchdog ownership and bounded pressure sizing, and repeated the corrected campaign for three before/action/after rounds.

shared-wsl-pressure-20260724-155908: rounds 1/2/3 each reportaction_rc=0, 1280 MiB allocated, 20 chunks verified, identical before/after SHA-256, no watchdog marker, and artifact validation PASS. - Final health: daemon dead, no NBD/zram/ghost, only
/dev/sdcdisk swap; Windows volume and sample identities forC:andI:revalidated: PASS. - Three repeated Linux and Windows static watchdog gates: 6/6 PASS.
Verdict: ✅ The reproduced hang was a harness teardown race, not silent data corruption. The watchdog now preserves controller ownership, gives integrity cleanup a separate grace interval, scales pressure to configured tiers, stops after a failed round, and leaves Windows as the only forceful WSL recovery owner. Three corrected live rounds completed with clean teardown.
What: Reproduced and fixed PowerShell Direct connection hangs and
multi-record status misclassification, then reran the isolated Windows driver
and product lifecycles on win11-drill.

- Hyper-V rollback export remains available at
E:\Hyper-V\exports\win11-drill-pre-native-20260724-162906; the drill VM ended Off.
Verdict: ✅ The isolated native Windows beta surface is repeatably green under Driver Verifier and three product Online lifecycles. This does not change the public-distribution gate: the package remains test-signed and requires a production-trusted or Microsoft-attested signature before official deployment.
What: Enabled Windows Test Mode on the physical RTX 2060 host, performed a clean test-signed miniport deployment with a mandatory post-deploy reboot, and repeated the bounded product storage lifecycle three times.

- Final elevated preflight
physical-testmode-final-20260724-225209: PASS, Test Mode still enabled, service/control available, no RAMSHARE storage identity, no pagefile on RAMSHARE, and no minidump. - Terminal GPU observation: RTX 2060 at 681 MiB used, 5274 MiB free of 6144 MiB. Firmware Secure Boot remains disabled.
Verdict: ✅ The supervised physical Windows storage path is repeatably functional in Test Mode on this exact host/build/GPU. This is not an official Windows distribution or anti-cheat-compatible state: Test Mode remains enabled, the package is test-signed, and autonomous SCM use still requires a packaged, supervised broker dependency.
What: Implemented and validated the separately supervised Windows broker, authenticated named-pipe product boundary, transactional two-service package, broker-loss containment, VM lifecycle and three-cold-boot physical campaign.
Measured data:
- Workspace fmt/clippy PASS; broker 40, winbroker 19 and winsvc 120 tests passed; wsl2d touched suites passed.
- Per-file cover: lease 98.7%, winbroker 97.3%, winsvc config 96.7%, IPC 83.3%, package 89.0%, runtime 88.9%.
- Package transaction: FreshInstall, Repair, ManufacturedRollback, UninstallRefusal and CleanUninstall all PASS.

R:data volume was refused before formatting. SPEC DT-17 and the corrected harness require a free manifest-owned letter; the completed campaign usedS:and leftR:untouched.
Verdict: ✅ Autonomous Windows broker Step 3 is implemented and has legitimate VM and physical before→action→after evidence. The package remains test-signed/Test Mode; that distribution limitation is outside this surface.
What: Re-confronted the implementation and evidence against every SPEC matrix row, closed the missing broker Event Log implementation, updated the required living documentation, and reran the affected native VM matrices.
Measured data:

- Legitimate service-SID admission passed. Administrator, unrelated-service, deny-only SID, status mutation, oversized line, and partial-frame paths were refused; boundary state remained zero registrations and zero leases.
- Final proof:
docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-autonomous-broker-service/evidence/vm-final/broker-final-matrices.json.
Verdict: ✅ The implementation/evidence discipline gaps for this SPEC are closed. Production-trusted Windows signing remains a separately tracked release gate and was not falsely reclassified.
What: Promoted the final Event Log broker into a new immutable physical package and left the demand-start product running on the approved Test Mode host.

docs/specs/no-milestone/windows-autonomous-broker-service/evidence/physical-active-20260725/activation.json.
What: Added a RamShared-only, zero-dependency public evidence contract for benchmark records and explicit SSDV3 claim manifests. Historical benchmark bytes were not rewritten; five human sections and three old JSONL rows are now mapped to honest legacy-unqualified identities.
Category: ci-gate / isolation
Environment: repository worktree; Node.js 24.15.0; no Windows, WSL2, driver, daemon, disk, swap, GPU-pressure, or reboot action.
Before: docs/BENCHMARKS.md had 5 dated sections while
docs/benchmarks/results.jsonl had 3 pre-schema rows. There was no artifact
hash validator, statistics recomputation, comparison fingerprint, prose parity
gate, or explicit SPEC evidence manifest.
Action: Implemented and executed the two Node test suites, both repository
validators, and the complete scripts/docs-check.sh gate twice.
After: 5/5 human benchmark sections map exactly once; 3/3 old JSONL rows
have explicit legacy-unqualified mappings; no old row is promotable. The SPEC
claim validator accepts only explicit PARTIAL/DONE manifests and requires
the applicable named tests, cover classification, live before/action/after,
legitimate/refusal cases, cleanup, artifacts, and BINARY_MATCH.
Measured data: benchmark validator tests 11 passed / 0 failed; SPEC claim tests 7 passed / 0 failed; repository counts sections=5, records=3, legacy=5; two complete docs-check runs exited 0 and produced byte-identical output.

Limitations: This gate does not retroactively qualify historical numbers and does not execute platform workloads. Windows physical storage performance remains blocked on the separately approved host reboot and real 75-sample matrix.
Rollback trigger: Revert validator integration if one malformed, duplicate, hash-mismatched, sensitive, statistically forged, incomparable, or non-PASS record passes; if one sensitive value is printed; or if identical inputs produce different normalized output.
Verdict: ✅ The public benchmark/claim evidence gate is implemented and its legitimate plus refusal paths are reproducible without host mutation.
Governance schema: 1
What: Implemented and exercised the fail-closed structural documentation governance gate.
Slug: documentation-governance-integrity
Environment/commit: repository worktree at
95739d1f972bcefe7eb5df8861cf8c526503e074; Node.js 24.15.0; no runtime,
driver, daemon, disk, swap, GPU-pressure, network, or reboot action.
Scope: Canonical-document ownership, objective routing, evidence-qualified claims, provenance sanitization, bounded journey records, postmortem action effectiveness, strict validation closure, and evidence-derived index status.
Before: DONE could be inferred from document presence, validation closure did not require a strict before/action/after record, and no single read-only gate checked the complete structural documentation surface.
Action: Ran 34 governance tests, 14 validation-schema tests, 7 index tests, per-file Node coverage, the structural governance CLI, and the integrated documentation gate twice.
After: The structural scan inspected 304 files with 0 findings. The three production files measured 100.00/82.87/100.00%, 86.67/88.24/96.67%, and 96.72/80.26/100.00% line/branch/function coverage.
Legitimate case: An evidence-qualified claim with current hashed artifacts, named tests, cleanup, and the required platform classification is accepted and is the only path to DONE.
Required refusals: unqualified IMPL presented as DONE; sensitive/private provenance; stale evidence artifact; missing BINARY_MATCH where required; unbounded journey record.
Tests/coverage: 55 tests passed, 0 failed; every production file exceeded 80% lines and branches; two structural runs were deterministic and exited 0.
Platform gates: N/A — repository-only Node tooling; BINARY_MATCH N/A.
Artifacts:
docs/specs/no-milestone/documentation-governance-integrity/evidence/validation-summary.json
and its evidence-manifest.json.
Cleanup: Complete; the checkers are read-only and left 0 runtime or host resources.
Limitations: This governance slice qualifies documentation claims only; it does not promote any Windows, WSL2, kernel, signing, VM, or physical result.
Rollback trigger: One false DONE promotion, one sensitive value printed, one automatic source rewrite, or different normalized output for identical input.
Verdict: ✅ Documentation governance integrity is implemented and its legitimate and refusal paths are reproducible without host mutation.

What: Implemented and exercised the bounded English/PT-BR localization integrity gate.
Slug: documentation-localization-integrity
Environment/commit: repository worktree at
95739d1f972bcefe7eb5df8861cf8c526503e074; Node.js 24.15.0; no runtime,
driver, daemon, disk, swap, GPU-pressure, network, or reboot action.
Scope: English canonical documentation, complete root README in Brazilian Portuguese, a non-normative Portuguese navigation portal, reciprocal language switches, source-hash freshness, local links, and authority boundaries.
Before: Required localized entries existed only as an intended policy; freshness, reciprocal switches, protected document classes, and localized authority were not enforced by one deterministic gate.
Action: Ran the 15 named localization tests, the repository localization CLI twice, syntax checks, and per-file Node coverage.
After: Both required localized files passed with 0 findings; two CLI runs
were byte-identical with SHA-256
f1964e7db9763a1028e20c5dfdaee6c13e85a2d81ba0685b1205c50a45b7300c.
Coverage was 98.59% lines, 86.90% branches, and 100.00% functions.
Legitimate case: Current exact source hashes, reciprocal README switches, five portal objectives, valid local links, and explicit non-normative policy are accepted.
Required refusals: stale canonical source hash; missing required localization; broken language switch; positive localized authority claim; protected normative localization path.
Tests/coverage: 15 tests passed, 0 failed; per-file line/branch/function coverage exceeded 80%; repository CLI inspected 2 files with 0 findings.
Platform gates: N/A — repository-only Node tooling; BINARY_MATCH N/A.
Artifacts:
docs/specs/no-milestone/documentation-localization-integrity/evidence/validation-summary.json
and its evidence-manifest.json.
Cleanup: Complete; both runs were read-only and left 0 runtime or host resources.
Limitations: Localized documents are informational. PRD, SPEC, IMPL, ADR, CI, evidence, benchmarks, and validation remain English canonical records.
Rollback trigger: One stale hash, missing file, broken switch, positive authority claim, sensitive diagnostic, or nondeterministic result passes.
Verdict: ✅ The bounded localization contract is implemented without duplicating or translating normative engineering records.

What: Implemented and exercised the public repository candidate hygiene gate.
Slug: public-repository-hygiene
Environment/commit: repository worktree at
95739d1f972bcefe7eb5df8861cf8c526503e074; Node.js 24.15.0; no runtime,
driver, daemon, disk, swap, GPU-pressure, network, or reboot action.
Scope: Candidate, staged-index, and tracked-file scanning; bounded text and binary handling; sanitized findings; scoped allowlists; and portable script defaults for a public RamShared checkout.
Before: The hygiene scanner could miss nonignored untracked candidates or read a staged path from different working-tree bytes, and diagnostics did not have the current bounded candidate contract.
Action: Ran 12 named hygiene tests, per-file Node coverage, the real candidate scan, PowerShell 5.1 parser/static checks, and the integrated docs gate.
After: The current candidate scan inspected 681 files with 0 findings. Coverage was 94.38% lines, 85.29% branches, and 100.00% functions; all 12 tests passed.
Legitimate case: A clean candidate containing tracked, staged, and nonignored untracked public files is accepted without exposing file contents.
Required refusals: staged index/worktree byte divergence; private profile path; credential/token/key fixture; kernel-address fixture; invalid scan mode; Git enumeration failure.
Tests/coverage: 12 tests passed, 0 failed; per-file line/branch/function coverage exceeded 80%; candidate CLI exited 0 with 0 findings.
Platform gates: PowerShell 5.1 parser/static checks only; no operator script execution; BINARY_MATCH N/A.
Artifacts:
docs/specs/no-milestone/public-repository-hygiene/evidence/validation-summary.json
and its evidence-manifest.json.
Cleanup: Complete; the checker is read-only and left 0 runtime or host resources.
Limitations: This gate prevents candidate hygiene false-greens; it does not qualify driver behavior, release signing, VM E2E, or physical-host stability.
Rollback trigger: One staged blob is read from worktree bytes, one nonignored candidate is skipped, one sensitive match is echoed, or three consecutive no-load candidate scans exceed 10 seconds.
Verdict: ✅ Public repository candidate integrity is implemented and the legitimate plus refusal paths are reproducible without host mutation.
What: Reproduced the disposable-lab OOBE failure, corrected and sealed the unattended media contract, and exercised the next clean VM start without rebooting the physical Windows host or WSL.
Measured data: The failed clean-5 guest remained at
IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE, OOBEInProgress=1, SetupPhase=4, and
SetupType=2. Its sealed XML was legitimately refused because AutoLogon
omitted the Microsoft-required LogonCount. The corrected XML is 5,015 bytes,
has SHA-256 8C22438E54B7E4319D2AB454627E7DB6014AAF6B7DE16BABEC03818F368CF61C,
and the same hash was independently read from the new 8,454,309,888-byte ISO;
the ISO SHA-256 is
EE07B0766773105C22E952658FBDED018A1894846123DFF23991D6281E34A785.
The Windows static aggregate, including the new OOBE/media refusals, exited 0;
docs-check and scoped whitespace checks exited 0. Dropping only reclaimable
WSL cache reduced buff/cache from 9.7 GiB to 1.2 GiB without stopping a
process or restarting WSL. Hyper-V still refused the supported 4,096 MiB VM
start with 0x800705AA: host free memory was 3,798 MiB while the unrelated
gha-ubuntu-2404 VM retained 12,288 MiB. Both RamShared disposable guests are
Off; the foreign VM was not mutated.
Evidence:

and C:\ramshared\artifacts\win11-verifier-clean-6-thumbnail.png (14,858
bytes; SHA-256
638E6A4D9487FB6A740E2AB11B74923384BF14A5AAD56CA186C43939DBB59F8B).
Verdict: 🟡 Media and orchestration corrections are validated, but VM E2E, Driver Verifier, BINARY_MATCH, storage matrix, and benchmarks remain blocked by the observable host-memory boundary. This is partial, not DONE.
What: Replaced repeated Windows installation with an immutable 20 GiB
ready-base plus differencing-VHD clones, corrected the offline Hyper-V
integration-service and phase-bound teardown contracts, recovered the prior
failed run exactly, and completed the signed .8 driver campaign on a fresh
Generation-2 Windows 11 clone. No physical-host or WSL reboot occurred.
Measured data: The immutable base was 20,505,952,256 bytes with SHA-256
1F17888E525553810881E835FB2E3B8F7C74B9A4EAEC3481F7BCE8A118B63EC2.
The new clone used a differencing VHD, a new VM ID, four vCPUs, 4 GiB startup
memory, vTPM, the Private sealed switch, and zero checkpoints. A legitimate
Hyper-V 0x800705AA refusal occurred while Windows had only 4,336,263,168
free physical bytes and WSL used 12,280,619,008 bytes with 4,284,153,856 bytes
of swap used. Gracefully shutting down only two completed RamShared lab VMs
raised host-free memory to 10,003,623,936 bytes; no foreign process was killed.
The fresh readiness gates passed on their first complete attempts in 110,401
ms before the campaign and 92,229 ms after Secure Boot was restored On.
The signed driver loaded with SHA-256
5E4FF79148274EC1A029A057714F0066389B6E103F5425E5C3C2AAB1ADB07A55
and BINARY_MATCH true. Normal I/O passed in 87,690 ms and Driver Verifier I/O
passed in 25,347 ms. Both paths proved the legitimate queue, six required
refusals, three race/rundown guards, VPD serial ABCDEF0123456789, a
134,217,728-byte Virtual SSD with 4,096-byte logical/physical sectors, zero
Event 153, and zero new dumps. Verifier reset reached zero. Exact teardown
removed one ROOT, service, OEM INF, and retired PnP node with every action exit
0; independent final observations found package/service/ROOT/disk/PnP,
Verifier target, TestSigning, and signer certificates all zero. The terminal
clone state is Off and host-free memory reached 12,420,276,224 bytes.
Evidence:
tmp/windows-task-manager-disk-counters-e2e/20260810-vm-verifier-final.json,
C:\ramshared\artifacts\ready-clone-5e48f1bf-9f55-4d32-9d98-f913a9092ed8,

and exact recovery

Verdict: 🟡 The disposable-VM driver, Verifier, BINARY_MATCH, refusal,
rollback, firmware-restoration, and zero-residue slice is legitimately green.
The overall SPEC remains partial because the supervised physical-host .8
deployment/BINARY_MATCH and 75-sample five-cell storage benchmark matrix have
not run; they must not be inferred from VM evidence.
What: Audited Dependabot PR #158 and Jules PRs #160–#187, consolidated the valid findings into RamShared-owned implementations, replaced unsafe or incomplete patches with SPEC-first fail-closed fixes, and exercised the complete repository-local validation plan before creating the single superseding PR. Issue #188 is the remote traceability anchor. No old PR was closed before the consolidated replacement existed and passed its local gates.
Measured data: cargo fmt --all -- --check, workspace clippy with
-D warnings, the complete workspace test suite, cargo deny check, the
pinned RustSec audit (1,197 advisories checked against 54 dependencies), the
Windows MSVC target check, actionlint 1.7.7, 242 Node tests, the complete
Windows PowerShell static aggregate, public-hygiene candidate scan, and
scripts/docs-check.sh exited 0. The canonical Rust coverage planner executed
all mapped entries serially against immutable origin/main and exited 0. The
lowest production-file line results were 81.5% for
ramshared-wsl2d/src/main.rs, 82.2% for ublk_server.rs, 83.3% for winsvc
ipc.rs, and 84.4% for both cascade orchestration and CLI dispatch; every
mapped production file was at least 80%. The ublk slice measured 91.2%
(ramshared-uring/src/lib.rs), 95.0% (ublk_queue.rs), and 82.2%
(ublk_server.rs). A prior transient coverage child stall was not promoted:
the checker now has a tested 15-minute terminal deadline and private target
directories, and this full serialized rerun completed with exit 0.
Remote controls: GitHub REST observations now prove default workflow token
read, Actions PR approval disabled, selected-action allowlisting with SHA
pinning required, 30-day artifact/log retention, enforced-admin strict branch
protection with conversation resolution, and two protected environments with
required reviewer, self-review refusal, and protected-branch policy. The
branch protection now requires only the same-run required-checks aggregate.
The SPEC-first observed remote-gate state was added with a RED→GREEN refusal
suite so a valid administrator observation can close the gate without being
misrepresented as a local workflow. Both --check-local and strict --check
now exit 0 with CI_CONTRACT_STATUS=PASS.
Safety boundary: All real /dev/ublk-control, CUDA device, swap activation,
Windows driver, SCM, storage mutation, VM, pressure, reboot, and physical-host
tests remained ignored or uninvoked. Refusal tests used only nonexistent paths
and regular files. No ramsharedd daemon, product swap, ublk block device, VM,
or driver was activated by this gate.
Artifacts: tmp/*-cov.json,
docs/reliability/JULES-PR-AUDIT-20260810.md, and
docs/governance/remote-controls-observation.json.
Rollback trigger: Any mapped production file below 80%; any unbounded coverage child; any aggregate CI false-green; any loaded artifact mismatch; any unexpected swap/device/driver activation; or any regression from the exact identity, bounds, teardown, and refusal contracts added by this consolidation.
Verdict: 🟡 Repository-local implementation, static validation, coverage,
and remote hardening are green. CI promotion still awaits the single PR's
hosted required-checks; Windows physical-host BINARY_MATCH and the 75-sample
five-cell storage matrix remain explicitly env-bound and are not invented from
offline proof.
What: Confronted the first hosted run of PR #189, reproduced each failure, and corrected the contracts rather than bypassing the aggregate. The fixes cover exact opaque-evidence redaction, append-only validation separators, PowerShell 5.1 syntax, the transitive pinned Trivy action allowlist, and six Rust source paths that the hosted merge-ref correctly refused as unmapped.
Before: The same-run aggregate was RED. Comment-language and validation
schema refused their diffs, Windows static parsing failed, Trivy could not run
its pinned setup action under the selected-action policy, and Rust selection
reported six changed-rust-file-unmapped errors.
Action: Added SPEC-first RED→GREEN fixtures. Opaque invalid-UTF-8 evidence
now permits only a byte-exact private-root first-line redaction; a new entry's
single separator blank is append-only-safe; the Windows workflow and broker
static harness parse under Windows PowerShell 5.1; the selected action list
includes aquasecurity/setup-trivy@*; and the Rust planner now distinguishes
whole-file structural module surfaces from named Windows platform E2E. The
structural grammar rejects functions, constants, statics, impls, macros,
malformed delimiters, unsafe package bindings, and shell execution.
After / measured data: 240 CI Node tests passed. Planner coverage measured
88.85% lines, 81.80% branches, and 97.70% functions; comment-language measured
92.61%, 83.71%, and 98.51%; validation-schema measured 86.76%, 88.71%, and
96.77%; localization measured 98.59%, 86.90%, and 100%. The exact PR merge-ref
selection is READY with 19 owning entries and zero unmapped Rust paths. The
complete Windows static aggregate, actionlint 1.7.7, docs-check, public hygiene,
strict CI contract, workspace fmt/clippy, and the workspace test suite exited
0. Rust tests passed with only declared GPU/root/device tests ignored; no live
daemon, swap, ublk, CUDA, SCM, storage, VM, shutdown, or reboot path ran.
Refusals: Arbitrary invalid UTF-8 edits remain exit 2; nonblank historical validation edits remain blocked; structural Rust containing executable logic is refused; and a failed structural package test makes the planner nonzero.
Artifacts: tmp/ci-fix-*-cov.json and PR #189 hosted run diagnostics.
Rollback trigger: Any suffix byte in protected opaque evidence changes; any nonblank history rewrite passes; a Rust executable file is admitted as structural; a selected action executes outside the pinned allowlist; or the Windows static wrapper parses differently under PowerShell 5.1.
Verdict: 🟡 Every first-run failure has a local legitimate and refusal
proof, but promotion remains pending the new hosted required-checks run. No
physical-host or live storage claim is inferred from these safe gates.
What: Corrected the only new refusal from PR #189's second hosted run: the
PowerShell Direct process-tree fixture assumed $PSHOME\powershell.exe, while
the GitHub Windows runner hosts PowerShell 7 as pwsh.exe.
Before: All Windows Rust tests passed on the hosted runner, then the static fixture failed before spawning its manufactured child because the assumed PowerShell 7 path did not exist. No product, VM, SCM, disk, or driver action had started.
Action: SPEC DT-26 now binds the fixture to the exact executable path of its current PowerShell process, verifies that it is a file, and passes that path explicitly to the synthetic grandchild. The product PowerShell Direct worker and its deadlines are unchanged.
After / measured data: On Windows PowerShell 5.1, the focused harness
reported seven PASS markers, including
psdirect_runner_uses_current_host_executable, process-tree termination,
redirected-stream drain, and nonzero-child refusal. docs-check and whitespace
checks exited 0. The PowerShell 7 proof remains the next hosted run; no retry or
fallback executable is guessed.
Refusals: A missing/non-file current executable path is terminal, and the existing timeout, surviving grandchild, partial output, or nonzero child cases remain RED.
Rollback trigger: The static fixture assumes a fixed executable filename, accepts a missing path, or weakens timeout/process-tree termination.
Verdict: 🟡 The cross-version defect is locally closed without live host mutation; final promotion still requires the replacement hosted Windows and same-run aggregate checks.
What: Removed a hosted-filesystem race from the existing bounded-command timeout test without changing production orchestration or adding a retry.
Before: The second hosted Linux run passed fmt and clippy, then one of 88
CLI tests failed because executing a freshly written temporary script returned
ETXTBSY; the production runner correctly surfaced the error instead of
mislabeling it as a timeout.
Action: SPEC DT-T3a now requires the closed script to be passed to the
immutable /bin/sh interpreter. The script still execs its bounded sleep,
so the PID written by the fixture remains the exact direct child that must be
terminated and reaped.
After / measured data: The exact test passed 20 consecutive executions.
The full 88-unit/5-integration CLI coverage run passed, and canonical
cascade_io.rs line coverage measured 84.5% (1,141/1,351). Package clippy with
-D warnings, fmt, docs-check, and whitespace checks exited 0. No swap,
daemon, NBD, ublk, CUDA, root, or host action ran.
Refusals: Interpreter failure, missing PID receipt, timeout over one second, or a surviving child remains terminal; there is no retry path.
Rollback trigger: Any ETXTBSY recurrence, retry introduction, timeout
false-green, or surviving fixture PID.
Verdict: 🟡 The deterministic Linux fixture and its coverage are green; hosted aggregate promotion remains pending the next immutable PR run.
What: Closed the remaining PowerShell 5.1/7 incompatibilities in the source-only Windows suite before rerunning PR #189.
Before: The hosted PowerShell 7 job failed in the storage-matrix fixture
because it constructed $PSHOME\powershell.exe. After binding the child to
the current pwsh.exe, a local PowerShell 7 run exposed a second legitimate
false RED: pipeline assignment of @() reached an [object[]] parameter as
one null element, so the zero-Event-153 case was counted as one event.
Action: SPEC DT-93 and broker DT-27 now require every manufactured child
to resolve and validate the exact current PowerShell executable. The four
static harnesses with child processes were audited together. The storage
matrix now uses that exact executable for bounded children, watchdog launch,
and invocation evidence, and initializes the manufactured empty event set as
[object[]]@() before the optional one-event assignment.
After / measured data: The complete 15-harness Windows static wrapper
exited 0 under both Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7. The focused storage
matrix passed in both runtimes, including
static_child_uses_current_host_executable,
event153_zero_case_is_cross_version_empty, all timeout/process-tree cases,
the legitimate zero-event case, and the one-event refusal. The three other
affected focused harnesses passed under Windows PowerShell 5.1. rg found zero
remaining $PSHOME\powershell.exe constructions in Test-*.ps1;
docs-check and whitespace validation exited 0. No VM, SCM, disk, driver,
GPU-pressure, shutdown, reboot, or physical-host action ran.
Refusals: Missing/non-file current executable paths remain terminal; one Event 153 remains RED; timeout, nonzero child, failed stream drain, or a surviving child process tree remains RED.
Rollback trigger: Any Windows static child again depends on a fixed PowerShell filename, the zero-event case counts a null row, or the complete wrapper diverges between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.
Verdict: 🟡 Local cross-version static evidence is complete and green;
promotion still requires the replacement hosted required-checks run.
What: Closed a security-evidence false-green observed in PR #189's hosted Trivy job.
Before: The blocking CRITICAL/HIGH scan passed, but the immutable CodeQL
upload action received its default sarif_file: ../results, emitted
Path does not exist: ../results, and stayed green because the step was
allowlisted with continue-on-error: true.
Action: SPEC DT-29 separates scan, local SARIF validation, and trusted
publication. The workflow now requires a non-empty trivy-results.sarif,
validates SARIF version 2.1.0 and an array of runs with jq, passes the exact
file to the pinned upload action, and removes error tolerance. Fork pull
requests retain the blocking scan and local validation but skip publication
because their token cannot receive security-events: write. The CI contract
now requires all three commands and has no SARIF error allowlist.
After / measured data: A genuine RED first showed the old allowlist in
ci_contract_requires_fail_closed_trivy_sarif_publication. GREEN is 51/51
contract/aggregate tests, with checker coverage 90.36% lines, 82.64% branches,
and 99.08% functions. Strict CI contract, actionlint 1.7.7, docs-check, public
hygiene, and whitespace gates exited 0.
Refusals: Missing, empty, malformed, or wrong-version SARIF is terminal; same-repository publication failure is terminal; CRITICAL/HIGH findings remain terminal before publication.
Rollback trigger: A Trivy job reports success while SARIF validation or an
eligible upload fails, the upload path differs from the generated file, or a
SARIF continue-on-error allowlist returns.
Verdict: 🟡 The false-green is locally closed; the corrected hosted security job and final same-run aggregate remain the promotion proof.
What: Qualified the complete CI trust and release-integrity implementation
on the immutable PR #189 revision aa2282bf4d002c7560e057cc4a6dc01313e0d953.
Before: Local contracts and each reproduced refusal were green, but the slice correctly remained partial until a same-run hosted aggregate proved the actual GitHub orchestration, Windows runtime, security publication, and exact coverage behavior.
Action: GitHub Actions run 31446546130 executed the contract entrypoint
and every reusable caller on the same pull-request revision. No bypass, retry,
manual success, host runner, lab mode, or tolerated failure was used.
After / measured data: All 20/20 jobs concluded success. Terminal
required-checks job 93642837435 is SUCCESS. The hosted Windows static job
completed in 98 seconds; exact Rust coverage completed in 221 seconds with 36
per-file PASS rows and a minimum of 80.8% (893/1,105 lines in
crates/ramshared-cli/src/main.rs); cargo-audit/cargo-deny completed in 292
seconds; and Trivy generated, validated, and uploaded the exact SARIF in 19
seconds. Workspace fmt/clippy/tests, docs, actionlint, gitleaks, validation,
comment-language, PR-body, artifact hygiene, and every summary gate passed.
Refusals: The same-run aggregator still rejects failed, cancelled, skipped, missing, or tolerated callers; coverage below 80%, invalid SARIF, supply-chain policy failure, Windows static failure, or unsafe remote controls remain terminal.
Artifacts: GitHub run 31446546130, terminal job 93642837435, coverage
job 93642007224, Windows job 93642007476, security jobs 93642007461 and
93642007478.
Rollback trigger: Any required caller ceases to conclude success on the same revision, any mapped file falls below 80%, SARIF publication regresses, or branch/environment controls drift from the recorded strict observation.
Verdict: ✅ CI trust and release integrity is implemented and qualified. This verdict does not promote the separately env-bound physical Windows, driver-signing, VM-lab, GPU-pressure, or live storage matrices.
What: Closed the process-lifetime gap exposed by PR #189 hosted run
31447000916 attempt 1.
Before: The exact Rust coverage command completed all Rust tests, wrote its
report, and printed a passing 96.5% result for the last measured file, but the
earlier ramshared-wsl2d command had crossed the 15-minute direct-child
deadline. GitHub cleanup then terminated orphaned cargo and instrumented
ramsharedd processes. The checker failed closed, but its spawnSync SIGTERM
did not own the descendant tree.
Action: SPEC DT-30 now requires the Linux/WSL2 coverage command to run in a
GNU coreutils timeout process group with TERM at 15 minutes, KILL after five
seconds, and a later 15-minute-10-second Node bound. Exit 124 and outer timeout
remain the stable terminal COVERAGE_CHILD_TIMEOUT; partial reports and retries
remain forbidden.
After / measured data: TDD RED observed exit 124 incorrectly classified as
COVERAGE_CHILD_FAILED. GREEN is 13/13 checker tests. A manufactured shell
spawned a 60-second descendant; the supervisor returned 124 in about 0.1 s and
the recorded descendant PID returned ESRCH. Checker coverage is 93.07% lines,
86.18% branches, and 91.30% functions. Checker plus planner is 38/38; syntax,
docs-check, public hygiene, and whitespace gates exit 0.
Refusals: Timeout never consumes a report, never retries, and fails if the supervisor cannot start. The final PR revision still requires a fresh hosted same-run aggregate before merge.
Artifacts: Hosted failure job 93643265744; sanitized local TDD output in
the command history only (no private paths or raw process data committed).
Rollback trigger: A timed-out coverage command leaves any Cargo/test descendant alive, returns coverage green, consumes a partial report, or exceeds the outer terminal deadline.
Verdict: 🟡 The process-tree fix is locally proven; the final hosted PR aggregate remains the promotion gate.
What: Removed intra-binary scheduling races from canonical Rust admission after ordinary workspace tests and exact coverage independently retained Rust test processes on hosted runners without any intervening Rust source change.
Before: Workspace and coverage commands used the default multi-threaded Rust test harness while suites exercised process-global signals, environment, Unix sockets, and child lifecycle. Repeated hosted execution was therefore schedule-dependent even though prior runs and the same source were green.
Action: SPEC DT-31 requires the exact workspace command
cargo test --workspace -- --test-threads=1 and appends
-- --test-threads=1 to every cargo llvm-cov child. DT-30 still owns the
complete process tree and remains terminal; no retry, skip, or test exclusion
was added.
After / measured data: Both focused TDD tests were RED before the commands changed and GREEN afterward. The bounded local workspace suite exited 0 in 24.69 seconds. All non-ignored tests passed; GPU, root/ublk, and the dangerous WSL2 daemon smoke remained ignored. The complete Node CI suite is 243/243. Contract tests are 52/52 at 90.36% lines, 82.64% branches, and 99.08% functions. Coverage-checker tests are 13/13 at 93.08% lines, 86.18% branches, and 91.30% functions. Strict contract, actionlint 1.7.7, docs-check, public hygiene, validation schema, and whitespace gates exit 0.
Refusals: The 300-second local verification wrapper kills its process group on overrun. Canonical CI retains its declared 30-minute job bound, and exact coverage retains DT-30's 15-minute child bound. No ignored hardware test was promoted to offline proof.
Rollback trigger: A serial run changes product behavior, exceeds its finite job deadline, hides a failing test, or leaves a Cargo/test descendant alive.
Verdict: 🟡 Local deterministic admission is green; merge still requires
the final hosted same-revision required-checks success.

How to measure: ./scripts/docs-check.sh; node --test tools/ci/*.test.mjs tools/*.test.mjs; node tools/ci/check-ci-contract.mjs --check-local; go run github.com/rhysd/actionlint/cmd/[email protected] .github/workflows/*.yml; gitleaks git --log-opts=-1 --redact --verbose; and git diff --check.
Measured data: docs-check passed with 332 structural files, 223 tracked Markdown files, 212 classified documents, 35 capability observations, 181 campaign-evidence observations, 2 cleanup receipts, and 9 ADR records. The complete Node suite passed 309/309; the strict local CI contract returned PASS; Actionlint and Gitleaks returned 0 findings; whitespace checks passed.
Verdict: 🟡 The source topology is locally green and duplicate automatic children are rejected. A fresh same-revision hosted required-checks aggregate remains mandatory before promotion; no hosted, Windows, lab, VM, GPU, disk, or kernel result is claimed here.

Source revision: fcb12c6e626baf22280a45ca9f6bf566c3169257.
Lifecycle: reviewable.
Retention: Retain this summary and the generated catalog; temporary clean
worktrees are removed after verification.
Freshness: Revalidate on any campaign evidence policy, checker, catalog,
or documentation workflow change.
What: Made campaign evidence discovery deterministic between a developer
workspace containing ignored forensic logs and a clean GitHub Actions checkout.
Category: ci-gate.
How to measure: node tools/ci/check-campaign-evidence-lifecycle.mjs --generate; node tools/ci/check-campaign-evidence-lifecycle.mjs --check;
the named Node coverage command; ./scripts/docs-check.sh; and the same
commands from a detached temporary Git worktree at the source revision.
Measured data: The checker reported 176 Git-tracked observations. The
named suite passed 16/16; coverage was 97.87% lines, 80.31% branches, and
95.92% functions. The clean checkout passed the repository checker,
documentation gate, coverage command, and local CI contract.
Refusals: A missing Git source, malformed CLI arguments, a stale catalog,
an untracked declared artifact, and ignored local artifacts beside a newly
tracked campaign all produce the expected terminal outcomes in named tests.
Rollback trigger: A clean checkout and a workspace with ignored local
evidence produce different catalogs, an ignored artifact changes a repository
verdict, or the hosted documentation job accepts a coverage failure.
Verdict: 🟡 Static and clean-checkout proof is green. A fresh same-revision
hosted required-checks aggregate remains mandatory before promotion; no
Windows, WSL2, VM, driver, GPU, storage, swap, kernel, or reboot proof is
claimed here.

Lifecycle: reviewable.
Retention: Retain the hosted run URL and this append-only summary; no raw
runner data is copied into the repository.
Freshness: Revalidate on every canonical workflow, CI contract, campaign
evidence checker, or release-admission change.
What: Confirmed the merged campaign-evidence and canonical-entrypoint
changes on the real GitHub Actions main surface.
Category: ci-gate.
How to measure: GitHub Actions run 31519630838 at the source revision;
inspect its required-checks conclusion and all selected caller summaries.
Measured data: 7/7 active callers plus the aggregate passed (8 successful
conclusions): ci-contract, CI core, security, Gitleaks, Windows static,
artifact hygiene, exact Rust slice coverage, and required-checks.
3/3 pull-request-only callers (comment-language, validation-schema, and
PR-body) were correctly skipped for a main push.
Refusals: The aggregate remains fail-closed for a failed, cancelled,
missing, or unexpectedly skipped active caller. No old cancelled same-SHA
execution was used as positive evidence.
Rollback trigger: required-checks is absent, a selected caller is
cancelled or skipped, the hosted catalog differs from the committed catalog,
or a main push produces a duplicate automatic child workflow.
Verdict: ✅ The hosted main aggregate is green for this revision. This
CI result does not qualify Windows, WSL2, VM, driver, GPU, storage, swap,
kernel, or reboot evidence.

Source revision: 0b09518c530253a3219326ae3c0fe006e60ef99c.
Lifecycle: reviewable.
Retention: Preserve the sanitized before/action/after receipts under
docs/specs/no-milestone/wsl2-nbd-product-readiness/evidence/2026-08-12-live/.
Freshness: Revalidate after any NBD lifecycle, sealed-release, daemon,
Relay, or swap-order change.
What: Installed the sealed WSL2 NBD release with explicit approval,
migrated the inactive legacy unit by exact SHA-256, and activated the approved
1 GiB NBD pilot without a reboot.
Category: wsl2-nbd-live.
How to measure: ramshared status; /proc/swaps; wsl-relay-health.sh --check; nbd-product-preflight.sh --check; the approved cascade-up.sh --execute; and readlink /proc/<ramsharedd-pid>/exe under sudo.
Measured data: Before activation, only /dev/sdc swap was present
(4,194,304 KiB, priority -2, 3,518,416 KiB used), Relay reported zero
candidates, and product preflight reported PRODUCT_OFF. The unprivileged
action refused with I/O: Permission denied before device creation. The
approved sudo action created /dev/zram0 and /dev/nbd0, each 1,048,572
KiB, at priorities 200 and 100 respectively; /dev/sdc remained at -2.
After activation the daemon PID was 2062165 and both executable paths resolved
to the sealed v0.8.0-8-g0b09518 binary; preflight reported
NBD_BINARY_MATCH=PASS, NBD_TRANSPORT=nbd, NBD_PRODUCT_STATE=READY, and
Relay remained CLEAN with zero candidates. The unit remained inactive and
disabled; no reboot occurred.
Refusals: Missing operator privilege produced I/O: Permission denied
without creating an NBD device or daemon. The initial installer path had also
refused the mismatched legacy unit before the exact SHA-scoped migration
approval was supplied.
Rollback trigger: Any failed swapoff, remaining managed NBD/ublk swap,
Relay candidate, binary mismatch, ghost state, or priority ordering other than
zram 200 > NBD 100 > disk -2 requires the named safe teardown rather than a
second activation.
Verdict: 🟡 The real 1 GiB WSL2 NBD activation and identity checks passed.
The required 1/2/4 GiB benchmark matrix with n>=3 and median/p99/deviation is
not yet run, so this does not claim index-quality DONE.

Source revision: a60c898ec6d938e6828d879d41a4b2ea0c7b6b21.
Lifecycle: reviewable.
Retention: Retain the host-private campaign root and the two committed
SHA-256 identities below; do not promote partial cell artifacts.
Freshness: Revalidate after any timeout-budget, worker-integrity, cgroup,
controller, CUDA, NBD, or cleanup change.
What: Ran the approved canonical Windows/WSL2 matrix with stop-first-RED
against the exact sealed release. The first P1 idle disk-only cell refused on
its second sample before NBD or any bounded/CUDA condition ran.
Category: wsl2-nbd-live.
How to measure: Canonical controller PlanOnly followed by the approved live
controller; inventory byte/hash verification; exact terminal pinned preflight;
and read-only process, cgroup, swap, NBD, and service residue inspection.
Measured data: Run one completed 3584 MiB, HOLD, occupancy, and checksum;
allocation-to-HOLD was 114056 ms, the integrity worker exited zero, and no
cgroup oom_kill increment was observed. Run two reached only 2048/3584 MiB
before the 120-second HOLD deadline and emitted SAMPLE_TIMEOUT. The matrix
stopped RED/failed_pair; NBD and bounded cells did not run, so no CUDA VRAM
allocation was expected. All 36 inventory records verified. Matrix-summary
SHA-256 is 3f85c9948dc8c733b06351c029bc7a2a1512574cdc1ee8fdd8abfe41b78ef33e;
inventory SHA-256 is
e1d62c1c7a0d349624a8b68a309830495b67b2a2aa3c5efdd24b20a55b558fa9.
Refusals: No completed pair or public evidence was produced. Terminal
pinned preflight returned PRODUCT_OFF; no managed swap, worker, daemon,
CUDA process, benchmark cgroup, or NBD attachment remained. The pre-existing
/dev/sdc swap was not changed.
Rollback trigger: Any timeout promotion, public evidence from this partial
cell, terminal state other than exact PRODUCT_OFF, residual managed resource,
or mutation of /dev/sdc invalidates the campaign and blocks another run.
Verdict: 🟡 The refusal and cleanup are valid diagnostic evidence. The
source-only P1 policy successor (240 s HOLD, independent 120 s integrity)
must be committed, resealed, and exercised by a fresh complete matrix before
qualification or PR promotion.

Source revision: a365bda0daf89a9707159b86efca8c1ba1ac760b.
Lifecycle: reviewable.
Retention: Retain the host-private 551-entry campaign and the six copied
repository pair-custody/comparison records; the compact public records remain
in docs/benchmarks/results.jsonl.
Freshness: Revalidate after any benchmark policy, worker-integrity, cgroup,
controller, CUDA, NBD, evidence-custody, or cleanup change.
What: Ran the approved canonical Windows/WSL2 matrix against the exact
sealed release. All 12 P1/P2/P4 idle/bounded disk-only/NBD cells and all 36
samples completed with integrity, occupancy, and cleanup.
Category: wsl2-nbd-live.
How to measure: Canonical PlanOnly followed by the approved live controller;
per-cell BINARY_MATCH; pair-scoped CUDA custody; inventory byte/hash
verification; repository public-evidence validation; terminal pinned preflight;
and read-only process, cgroup, swap, NBD, service, and VRAM residue inspection.
Measured data: Every NBD cell retained BINARY_MATCH=PASS; every bounded
pair held one CUDA context across disk-only then NBD and released it without
force. Matrix-summary SHA-256 is
42fa3e1a00dd7e7c16f0c92196f69622ac9212c9fb889e858f6e40769af292af.
The 551-entry inventory SHA-256 is
58a959fd82d29b6c503382a98d82a4bbf57bb90dc94ffaf2fdc2dfa6e985aece,
and every listed byte count and hash verified. All six public pair records pass
the repository validator as BASELINE/nonpromotable because no prior canonical
baseline exists.
Refusals: No timeout, integrity, identity, cleanup, or evidence refusal
occurred. The absence of a prior canonical baseline prevents promotion of the
six baseline records but does not invalidate the completed live matrix.
Rollback trigger: Any matrix/inventory hash mismatch, NBD identity drift,
failed public custody record, cell or terminal state other than exact
PRODUCT_OFF, residual managed resource, forced CUDA release, or mutation of
the pre-existing /dev/sdc invalidates this evidence.
Verdict: 🟢 The complete sealed 1/2/4 GiB idle/bounded disk-only/NBD
matrix passed with n=3 per cell. Live qualification is complete; Gate B,
hosted required checks, PR review, and merge remain open.

Lifecycle: immutable.
Immutability reason: Public release ID 370457260, tag
v0.9.0-beta.1, immutable tag commit, and public asset digests are retained by
GitHub; the exact protected run and integrity run IDs remain auditable.
What: Published the exact RamShared beta through the GitHub App-authored
repository dispatch and the manually approved protected-release environment,
then independently downloaded and revalidated the public asset quartet.

The detached checksum and complete manifest/source-lock validation passed.
Refusals: Runs 31791853476 and 31792525304 stopped before upload;
run 31793116494 uploaded the exact quartet but stopped before visibility.
The successful replay found no missing asset, patched only the cardinally
selected release ID, and ended in the idempotent NO_CHANGE state.
Rollback trigger: Any tag SHA other than the exact 40-hex revision, release
ID other than 370457260, asset count other than 4, digest mismatch,
draft=true, prerelease=false, or non-App protected publisher invalidates
this evidence and requires a new target rather than overwrite or tag movement.
Verdict: ✅ The exact beta is publicly published with four independently
verified assets, App-only mutation authority, human environment approval, and
an idempotent terminal state.
