Audit semantic code-start gate closure evidence

[veraxis-protocol]

Objective

Correct the semantic code-start audit against current merged evidence. This
draft PR contains audit/readiness documents only and does not open the gate.

Exact composition

• Original reviewed head: d31a0c936cd4eda7d0355043da7f9f741c0d665d
• Final head: 8fc72aba7c7de80e64de83a8f9f65184b002b9ac
• Current base: 62f1485272c8ab84937cdb807084f1ae6c3652ca
• GitHub synthetic merge: 5495e2bcbadffff952b8f3a73666dc2886dd7547
• CI run: 32907192979
• Diff against current main: four audit/readiness Markdown documents only

Main advanced only through merged PR #34 (README.md); that change was merged
normally into this branch and does not alter the audit evidence classification.

Corrected findings

Merged ZTL evidence is no longer represented as open design work:

• signed v0.2 provenance and immutable pin: closed by merged evidence;
• 13 reachable / 3 NOT_REACHABLE conformance, zero mismatches/hash problems:
  closed by merged evidence;
• row-by-row mapping and historical row-25 objection: corrected/closed;
• all 28 warrant fields: classified, with none unsupported or requiring ZTL
  change;
• WP-3, SC-WA-001, SC-WA-002 and the five-trigger set: accepted by successor
  review.

The live ZTL decision is owner admission of the exact proposed profile, plus a
decision on Tier-1 reproduction timing. The profile also contains stale
PR #18 draft/merge-order provenance wording; this is a currentness metadata
defect, not a semantic mapping defect, and is not repaired in this audit.

The source decision is now explicit: continue real Canada clearance, or
authorize CA-3 plus bounded, clearly synthetic companions. No synthetic source
is created here.

The VEIP decision is narrowed to whether a fail-closed, non-executable handoff
record is sufficient for compiler code start. Full lifecycle integration remains
required before result-bearing execution, not automatically before the first
bounded compiler commit.

Isolated owner decisions

1. Source strategy and provenance path.
2. Admission of exact ZTL profile/pin/fixture set.
3. Timing of independent Tier-1 ZTL reproduction.
4. Admission of the minimum non-executable VEIP boundary.

this is not described as raw exact-head execution.

MERGED EVIDENCE MUST NOT BE REOPENED BY STALE HISTORICAL TODO LISTS

TECHNICAL ACCEPTANCE IS NOT OWNER ADMISSION

EVIDENCE COLLECTION IS NOT AUTHORITY

GATE AUDIT IS NOT GATE OPENING

SEMANTIC IMPLEMENTATION REMAINS BLOCKED

NOT SELF-ADJUDICATED
