## 🔒 Key Constraints
- Audit-only — do NOT modify implementation code
- Trust NOTHING — verify everything independently

- Updated: 2026-10-02T07:31:00Z

## Audit Scope
- Work product: 21 backlogged DRQs in docs/design_requests/approved/, 78 deliverables in assets/approved/ and client/webapp/assets/, normal maps, emissive masks, Metal shaders, manifests, 2-tier approval records, pipeline CLI, unit and E2E test suites
- Profile loaded: General Project
- Audit type: victory audit

## Audit Progress
- Phase: reporting
- Checks completed: [Phase A Timeline & Scope Audit, Phase B Integrity & Cheating Forensics, Phase C Independent Test Execution]
- Checks remaining: [Final Victory Audit Report publication]
- Findings so far: CLEAN (VICTORY CONFIRMED)

## Key Decisions Made
- Executed direct verification of all 21 DRQ approvals and Section 4 deliverables.
- Verified all 78 deliverables on disk: 55 PNGs (power-of-2 dimensions and size budgets verified), 6 normal maps (Blue mean 247.75 - 253.39 >= 128.0), 2 emissive masks, 3 Metal shaders, 20 JSON manifests.
- Verified 78/78 bitwise client sync matches with 0 SHA-256 discrepancies.
- Independently executed pipeline CLI report and 3 pytest test suites (44/44 tests passed).

## Attack Surface
- Hypotheses tested: Checked for stubbed normal maps, empty image files, truncated manifests, non-power-of-two dimensions, size budget breaches, unapproved DRQs, and desynchronized client assets.
- Vulnerabilities found: 0 functional or security vulnerabilities found in campaign deliverables. 1 minor linter finding in test script `tools/verification/verify_21_drq_approved_assets_adversarial.py` exceeding 500 lines.
- Untested angles: None within the scope of the 21 DRQs.

## Loaded Skills
- None
