# 26 discipline validation

_Actual local results_

**Release:** 2026.09.09-d26. These are artifact/tool validation results, not production site acceptance or an independent external audit.

## Executed results

| Check family | Result | Boundary |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Utility unit tests | **84 passed**: 24 baseline + 60 new | Local synthetic fixtures; no real website/account |
| CLI smoke tests | **6 passed** | Actual local invocation, overwrite rejection, template blocking and malformed input handling |
| Browser interaction checks | **23 passed** | Generated HTML rendered in headless Chromium 144.0.7559.96 through `set_content` |
| Role coverage | **26 exact IDs** with charter, prompt, brief, sources and handoffs | Presence/linkage, not 26 executed specialist audits |
| Preserved originals | **146 hashes verified** | Original bytes preserved, not all legacy facts validated |
| Local Markdown file targets | **3892 checked; zero missing/outside targets** | No Markdown fragment or external-URL completeness claim |
| Markdown files audited | **267** | Active Library, Publishing, Templates, Tools, Research, Reports and root |
| JSON files parsed | **60** | Historical originals excluded; parsing is not semantic truth |

The unit tests exercise routing for forms, DNS/tailnet, outages, AI citations, mail policy, explicit overrides and unknown tasks; bounded context packs; gate rejection of missing/blocked/failing checks, absent or changed files, path traversal, symlink escapes, contract/hash/build/run mismatches, reused identities, weak independence declarations, unauthorized exceptions, duplicate IDs/keys, future/naive timestamps, placeholders and publication review gaps. Synthetic structurally valid fixtures are explicitly not client evidence.

## Browser review

Verified report load, document counts, all 26 role charters, role/full text search, current DMARC references, internal brief navigation, history restoration, prompt companion paths, legacy boundaries, six draft entries, sanitized article DOM, keyboard scrollable table regions, no horizontal overflow at a simulated 390 pixel viewport and no automatic external requests or JavaScript runtime errors. Desktop and narrow screenshots were visually inspected for legibility and layout.

Local HTTP navigation was blocked by the environment with `ERR_BLOCKED_BY_ADMINISTRATOR`. The generated HTML was therefore rendered using Chromium `set_content`, not through a hosted live site or a successfully navigated local HTTP origin. Actual Safari, Firefox, branded Chrome, physical iPhone/Android and assistive technology combinations were **not tested**. These checks do not establish full WCAG 2.2 AA conformance.

## Gate truth boundary

The evidence checker can detect inconsistent records and verify local bytes. It cannot authenticate an approval, a human identity, reviewer independence or the truth of a captured statement. Every structural pass retains `authorization_granted: false`, `external_truth_verified: false` and `identity_or_independence_authenticated: false`. Template acceptance records intentionally fail; no production acceptance record has been fabricated.

## Reports and reproducibility

* Unit output
* CLI smoke results
* Browser results and limits
* Library integrity result
* Desktop screenshot and simulated narrow screenshot

Run `python3 -m unittest discover -s Tools/tests -v` and `python3 Tools/library_audit.py .` from the extracted library root. The original legacy reports remain historical baseline snapshots. No external site, Bubbles service, DNS record, mailbox, analytics account, repository or persistent Library folder was changed.
