# UTFANSWF v23 — Gate Run Report

Run (UTC): 2026-08-21T09:36:43Z

| Row | Gate | Tier | Verdict | Blocking | Notes |
|---:|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | zero_state_foundation | Critical | PASS | True | Foundational blocking preflight. Preserves historical row numbering; ZS is Row 0 only as an execution label. |
| 0.1 | swf_ism_information_state_foundation | Critical | PASS | True | Critical foundational preflight between ZS and ANSWF. Execution label 0.1 preserves historical row numbering. |
| 0.2 | answf_eft_positivity | Critical | PASS | True | Critical EFT-admissibility preflight. Execution label 0.2 preserves historical row numbering. |
| 0.3 | sanswf_symmetry_stability | Critical | PASS | True | Critical SANSWF preflight with explicit SU(5) group contractions, corrected BFB geometry, and full 406-channel contact-matrix unitarity check. |
| 0.4 | utfanswf_unified_embedding | Critical | PASS | True | Critical unified-embedding preflight. Activates corrected full heavy-threshold closure + exact-Z6 proton-stability propagation while preserving incomplete/legacy branches as historical records; blind electromagnetic UV closure remains blocked by missing independent heavy-threshold boundary data. |
| 19 | frg_ppn_gw_positivity_and_cosmology_derivative_hardening | Critical | PASS | True | Row 19 hardened FRG / PPN-GW benchmark / positivity handoff / cosmology-derivative gate. |
| 20 | compressed_cosmology_fit | Critical | PASS | True |  |
| 20.1 | h0_extended_distributed_master_record | Diagnostic | PASS | False | PASS means the July 26, 2026 H0 Master Record v1 is preserved and internally reproduced, including adverse tests. It does not make 73.134202 the active v23 derived H0. The hardened v23 Row 20 Critical score is reported independently (and may PASS or FAIL under its own frozen threshold); a new distributed H0 remains open until the BAO node is derived without the historical residual bridge. |
| 20.4 | jwst_uvlf_diagnostic_record | Diagnostic | PASS | False | Reproduces the archived eight-point JWST UVLF diagnostic exactly. The source archive declared no standalone PASS threshold; physical JWST validation remains open. |
| 21 | axion_dark_matter_gate | Diagnostic | PASS | False | v23 separates the declared 6-60 ueV prediction/search band from the 10-60 ueV coverage of the current root Row 21 comparison table. No 6-10 ueV limit data are fabricated. |
| 22 | neutral_zone_sandwich | Diagnostic | PASS | False |  |
| 23 | bh_ringdown_echoes | Diagnostic | PASS | False | Kerr-QNM benchmark plus canonical Row-19 action handoff. The canonical stationary R+R^2 constant-scalar branch has zero horizon reflectivity and zero echo content. Any nonzero reflective extension remains outside the canonical branch. The legacy direct scalar axion=echo recycling equality is replaced by a common response-operator law with channel projections; Row 21 remains independent. |
| 24 | ai_utfanswf_benchmark_record | Diagnostic | PASS | False | Diagnostic PASS means the shipped benchmark table is reproduced with its metric semantics corrected; the manuscript loss-AUC and full runtime safety-rail gates remain open. |
| 25 | break_utfanswf_stress_registry_hardened | Diagnostic | PASS | False | Diagnostic PASS means the v19 stress registry has been reconciled to live v23 gates without using stale static pass flags or mutating the historical input report; explicitly missing historical subtests remain open. |
| 26 | protected_publication_and_bundle_provenance_integrity | Informational | PASS | False | Informational PASS protects the unchanged publication artifacts and verifies the current bundle provenance shell; final v23 reference consolidation remains open. |
| 27 | fine_structure_blind_checkpoint | Diagnostic | PASS | False | Blind 1/137 intermediate checkpoint and verification provenance are preserved and reproducible; the final source-complete electroweak handoff remains open. The preserved late GRIFFIN runners are mechanically identified as endpoint-calibrated diagnostics, and the separate UV/GUT route is blocked by missing independent heavy-threshold boundary data; no final 1/137 derivation claim is made. |
| 28 | proton_stability_z6 | Diagnostic | PASS | False | Exact-Z6 proton-stability candidate passes anomaly/operator/projector gates. The corrected full HC+XY+Sigma closure is tracked separately; blind electromagnetic UV closure is blocked by missing independent heavy-threshold boundary data. |
| 29 | proton_origin_isoqcd_nucleon_mass_closure | Diagnostic | PASS | False | Result 04 V2 target-isolated isoQCD nucleon/matter-scale closure. Final PDF and main.tex remain untouched; flavor-origin and full QCD+QED charged-proton calculation remain separate research boundaries. |

## Cosmology Result and Preserved H0 Record (Row 20 + 20.1)

Row 20 remains the critical compressed-cosmology gate. Row 20.1 preserves the July 26, 2026 post-release distributed-H0 master record, including adverse hardening tests.

- Row 20 hardened core CMB+BAO score: χ²/dof ≈ 1.093; PASS (within frozen threshold ≤ 1.25).
- Historical published v22 distributed result: ≈ 72.7 km/s/Mpc.
- Preserved July-2026 post-release distributed candidate (not active v23 derived H0): 73.134202117537 km/s/Mpc.
- Mandatory frozen construction subset: FAIL (p ≈ 0.0177795).
- Held-out DESI subset: STRONG_PASS (p ≈ 0.729633).
- Localized z=0.706 construction stress: FAIL (p ≈ 0.0218101).

Interpretation:
- The 73.134202 record is preserved as the July-2026 distributed/channel-node candidate; it is not the active v23 derived H0 after Row 20 moved to direct correlated BAO scoring.
- The single-global-H0 substitution is preserved as a catastrophic-fail negative control.
- The post-hoc BAO-node pass interval is diagnostic only and is not promoted to a derived node.
- The official observable-space Jacobian/covariance map is now explicit, but the next BAO channel node must still be independently derived; only then may a new distributed H0 be recalculated.

Status:
- July master record preserved/reproduced with mandatory adverse tests explicit; it is a historical/post-release candidate record, not the active v23 cosmology verdict.

## Frog 8/8 Research-Overlay Integrity

- Auxiliary verdict: PASS
- Canonical gate count remains 18; this auxiliary check is not a numbered physics gate.
- Research-board status: 8/8 GREEN at the derivation level.
- Items 01 and 05: one target-free QCD electromagnetic generating functional; production-scale NP-QCD numerical execution and independent verification remain pending.
- Protected main.tex and main.pdf are hash-locked by the auxiliary verifier.

## Aug. 19 New-Prediction Reproduction

- Auxiliary verdict: PASS
- Executes under the same `python -m harness.run_all_gates` command.
- NP-01: fixed-t0 RGI light-quark -> nucleon-mass response, including beta-block robustness.
- NP-02: exact-Z6 DeltaB selection; DeltaB=1,2 forbidden and DeltaB=3 first allowed at dimension 15.
- NP-03: PSN-v2 split-spectrum one-loop gauge-running thresholds and electromagnetic kink signature.
- Demoted/circular morning candidates remain excluded from the promoted prediction set.
