+
+## Verdict: V1_ACCEPTANCE_READY
+The frozen Scaffolding V1 architecture is implemented with sufficient
+proof breadth that remaining work is ordinary bugs/refinement, NOT a
+missing foundational capability.
+
+## Final matrix (abbreviated — full detail in tranche evidence)
+| Requirement | Status |
+|---|---|
+| construction kernel | LIVE_PROVEN (7 tranches; fail-closed governance 21A) |
+| contextual intent | LIVE_PROVEN (17R/19R conversational proofs) |
+| research-led construction | TEST_PROVEN + LIVE (qualified bases 18D/19B/20C) |
+| structural Scaffold | LIVE_PROVEN (Rune model 107→120+ entities, self-scaffold) |
+| bounded scope/impact | TEST_PROVEN + LIVE (predictive/descriptive, deltas) |
+| NEW BUILD / RETROFIT / FUTURE UPGRADE | LIVE_PROVEN each (T18P, T20E, 18P) |
+| Project Registry | TEST_PROVEN + LIVE (T20 adoption, T21K) |
+| Capability Ledgers + Living Specs | TEST_PROVEN + LIVE (21C, 4+1 specs) |
+| strict internal SemVer | TEST_PROVEN (patch/minor/major + unjustified-bump refusal) |
+| version-aware validation | TEST_PROVEN (21N version-referenced reopening) |
+| surgical context | LIVE_PROVEN (19R/21K packets bound 1 file) |
+| Behaviour Validation Ledger | TEST_PROVEN (generation-aware, selective) |
+| quicksand protection | LIVE_PROVEN (T20R real-entity cases) |
+| predictive/descriptive impact | TEST_PROVEN + LIVE (deltas persisted) |
+| post-change obligations | TEST_PROVEN (machine-derived) |
+| /testing | LIVE_PROVEN (19R /testing command wired) |
+| Observation→diagnosis→retest | TEST_PROVEN (closure gate) |
+| user-confirm distinction | TEST_PROVEN (automated green ≠ USER_CONFIRMED) |
+| structural drift + spec drift | TEST_PROVEN (entity-level + spec ordering) |
+| schema migration consent | TEST_PROVEN (ConsentRequired) |
+| workspace lifecycle | TEST_PROVEN (order-enforced) |
+| forge abstraction | LIVE_PROVEN (Gitea every push; fail-loud) |
+| legacy transformation | LIVE_PROVEN (T21G: TUI loader migration) |
+| governed retirement | LIVE_PROVEN (T17 plugin + T20L backlog) |
+| live A/B self-update | LIVE_PROVEN (T20-T21: multiple 0.67→0.72 cycles) |
+| rollback | LIVE_PROVEN (last-good preserved every deploy) |
+| external-project adoption | LIVE_PROVEN (T21K stock-tool full cycle) |
+| Spine relationship | TEST_PROVEN (boundary + links + drift guard) |
+| Rune structural graph | TEST_PROVEN (read-only JSON/DOT/Mermaid) |
+| MiMo-native use | LIVE_PROVEN (19R/21K packets) |
+| provider neutrality | TEST_PROVEN (structural guard) |
+| event-driven continuation | LIVE_PROVEN (T17 natural wake; T21 multiple) |
+| MiMo Code wait guard | LIVE_PROVEN_THIS_SESSION (hot-reload interception) |
+| compaction resilience | TEST_PROVEN (21L: 18.8KB → all 4 answers) |
+| operational usefulness | TEST_PROVEN with honest limits (20Q/21L recorded) |
+
+## Scaffolding subsystem version: 1.0.0 (EARNED)
+capability:scaffolding-v1 baselined 1.0.0 with explicit
+governance_version_started_at and baseline_reason (21S).
+
+## Known residuals (ordinary refinement, not architecture)
+- Env-deterministic CI type-checking (VAL-RUNE-010 pending)
+- Ledger auto-derivation breadth (~37% file coverage, honest)
+- Remaining MIGRATION_CANDIDATEs (task_persist export view,
+  message_queue regex detection) — classified, not urgent
+- /testing rune backlog awaits systematic user validation sessions
