# BRIEFING — 2026-10-09T07:05:00Z

## Mission
Forensic integrity audit for Milestone M3 Iteration 2 Gate Verification. Verify code authenticity, test execution, and absence of facades, cheating, or hardcoding.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: forensic_auditor
- Roles: critic, specialist, auditor
- Working directory: c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\auditor_m3_iter2_1
- Original parent: 97faf5e5-a830-491c-b78c-2af12175badf
- Target: Milestone M3 Iteration 2 Gate Verification

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- Audit-only — do NOT modify implementation code
- Trust NOTHING — verify everything independently
- Integrity Mode: development (from ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md line 14)
- Run all checks empirically from physical disk
- Binary verdict required: CLEAN or INTEGRITY VIOLATION

## Audit Scope
- **Work product**: Milestone M3 Iteration 2 deliverables (production_orchestrator.py, run_shot.py, antigravity_critic_gate.py, ep01 prompts, test suites)
- **Profile loaded**: General Project
- **Audit type**: forensic integrity check

## Audit Progress
- **Phase**: reporting
- **Checks completed**:
  - Source code authenticity inspection (room header decoupling, Scene Gate abort, testsrc generator, _run_coroutine_safely, prompt files)
  - Pytest execution across 5 test suites (103/103 passed on physical disk)
  - Scan for hardcoded test conditions, facades, and cheating (none found)
  - Mode-specific flagging under development mode
- **Checks remaining**: None
- **Findings so far**: CLEAN — All 5 defect remediations verified genuine.

## Attack Surface
- **Hypotheses tested**:
  - Room header decoupling properly isolates shot action from dual-character headers: CONFIRMED.
  - Scene Gate abort stops concat for any unapproved scene: CONFIRMED.
  - run_shot FFmpeg testsrc produces real dynamic video with motion (max_diff >= 0.8): CONFIRMED.
  - _run_coroutine_safely executes coroutines safely in sync context without runtime warnings: CONFIRMED.
  - Character safeguards override corrupted references: CONFIRMED.
- **Vulnerabilities found**: None in remediated deliverables.
- **Untested angles**: Live cloud Muse rendering (intentionally preserved to avoid quota exhaustion).

## Loaded Skills
- None

## Key Decisions Made
- Binary Verdict: VERDICT: CLEAN.
- Full evidence and logs documented in handoff.md.
