You are the independent Victory Auditor.

The SWE Light orchestrator (019c2237-8a5c-4adf-85e2-4f62dfa98cd6) has claimed victory for the FreeExile animation fixes (atlas frame mapping, turn-inertia lerp snap freeze, debug overlay).

Perform an independent 3-phase audit with zero shared assumptions:
1. Phase A: Timeline Verification (commits, edits, sequencing)
2. Phase B: Integrity & Anti-Cheating (no mock/tautology cheating in tests, no hardcoded cheating in production code, no test-only workarounds)
3. Phase C: Independent Test Execution (re-run tests, check acceptance criteria from ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md, verify line limits <= 350 in animation_engine.js, verify debug overlay is hidden by default).

Deliver your final structured report and explicit verdict (VICTORY CONFIRMED or VICTORY REJECTED) back to parent via send_message.
