# DISPATCH — Forensic Auditor (Milestone M4 Gate Integrity Verification)

## Mission
You are the Forensic Auditor for Milestone M4 Gate Verification.
Perform rigorous forensic integrity verification on Milestone M4 deliverables:
1. **Source Code Authenticity**:
   - Inspect `05_Production_Pipeline/production_orchestrator.py`:
     * Are `resolve_audio_asset`, `resolve_scene_master`, `concat_scene_shots` Mode A default, and `assemble_episode_master` genuine production logic without hardcoded test bypasses, dummy mocks, or facades?
   - Inspect `05_Production_Pipeline/assemble_ep01_feature.py`:
     * Are `_master_audio` detection and `--scenes 10` support authentic?
2. **Test Suite Authenticity**:
   - Inspect `tests/test_production_pipeline_m4.py`:
     * Are the 15 tests genuine, testing actual FFmpeg and pipeline functions on physical disk?
     * Run `python -m pytest tests/test_production_pipeline_m4.py -v` (verify 15/15 PASS on physical disk).
3. **Regression Test Integrity**:
   - Run full regression suites:
     * `python -m pytest tests/test_production_pipeline_m3.py -v` (16/16 PASS)
     * `python -m pytest tests/test_adversarial_m3_audio_engine.py -v` (6/6 PASS)
     * `python -m pytest tests/test_critic_gate.py -v` (30/30 PASS)
     * `python -m pytest tests/test_m2_hygiene.py -v` (6/6 PASS)
     * `python -m pytest tests/test_tier5_pipeline_hardening.py -v` (20/20 PASS)
4. **Integrity Forensics**:
   - Search for hardcoded return values matching test IDs, dummy facades, fabricated logs, or cheating.
   - Confirm zero OpenCV `cv2.VideoWriter` usage in concatenation routines.
   - Confirm Character Bible assets in `04_Assets/characters/` (62 files, 14 core portraits) and archived legacy files in `04_Assets/archive/ep01_legacy_v1/` remain 100% untouched and intact.
5. Deliver your BINARY VERDICT in:
   `c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\auditor_m4_1\handoff.md`:
   - Either: "VERDICT: CLEAN"
   - Or: "VERDICT: INTEGRITY VIOLATION" (with full evidence)
6. Notify parent orchestrator when complete.

FORENSIC AUDIT INSTRUCTIONS:
Perform rigorous forensic integrity verification on Milestone M4 deliverables:
1. Source Code Authenticity:
   - Inspect 05_Production_Pipeline/production_orchestrator.py and assemble_ep01_feature.py:
     * Are resolve_audio_asset, resolve_scene_master, concat_scene_shots Mode A default, and assemble_episode_master genuine production logic without hardcoded test bypasses, dummy mocks, or facades?
     * Verify zero OpenCV cv2.VideoWriter usage in video concat routines.
2. Test Suite Authenticity:
   - Inspect tests/test_production_pipeline_m4.py:
     * Are the 15 tests genuine and unmocked where inspecting media files on disk?
     * Run python -m pytest tests/test_production_pipeline_m4.py -v (verify 15/15 PASS on physical disk).
3. Regression Test Integrity:
   - Run and verify all suites:
     * python -m pytest tests/test_production_pipeline_m3.py -v (16/16 PASS)
     * python -m pytest tests/test_adversarial_m3_audio_engine.py -v (6/6 PASS)
     * python -m pytest tests/test_critic_gate.py -v (30/30 PASS)
     * python -m pytest tests/test_m2_hygiene.py -v (6/6 PASS)
     * python -m pytest tests/test_tier5_pipeline_hardening.py -v (20/20 PASS)
4. Integrity Forensics:
   - Search for hardcoded return values matching test IDs, dummy facades, fabricated logs, or cheating.
   - Confirm Character Bible assets in 04_Assets/characters/ (62 files, 14 core portraits) and legacy archive in 04_Assets/archive/ep01_legacy_v1/ remain 100% untouched.
5. Deliver your BINARY VERDICT in:
   c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\auditor_m4_1\handoff.md:
   - Either: "VERDICT: CLEAN"
   - Or: "VERDICT: INTEGRITY VIOLATION" (with full evidence)
6. Send a completion message to parent orchestrator.
