# Internal AI review and responses
A separate reviewer compared the original reports with the captured current manuscripts, then hostile-reviewed the full explanatory appendix. The inclusion decision is a compact appendix with cross-references, not a standalone theorem paper.

Required correction: reject empty module-clock domains before defining a latest candidate acquisition time; omit clocks with no records. This was incorporated in A.2 without changing a formula or bound. Attribution polish cites Robinson for omitted acquisition time and distinguishes the companion's destructive repair-order theorem from this nonmutating archive-query cost example. The reviewer explicitly closed the required finding and accepted these edits, with no supported major objection remaining within scope.

The review checked trajectory recurrence, shared-offset criterion, decomposition/running intersection and qualified table bounds, eight-history construction, exact RPC optima, port-relative vs complete-state erasure, matched architecture comparison and attribution. It did not certify executable reproduction, artifact preservation, PDF layout or historical priority. These are internal AI reviews, not external peer review or formal proof certification.

Reproduction and reading-copy inspection were subsequently completed separately and are recorded in the release manifest. Original raw review messages/captures are retained privately and excluded from the public archive.

## Final-source binding

The hostile reviewer read and hashed the actual saved v0.2 appendix.md and confirmed that the existing closed text review covers SHA-256 2cc36587772a48453b6cbd15824bb8010e5e0c378861d83c33729208b767687a. This binds the text disposition only; reproduction and PDF inspection remain separately recorded checks. The raw closure is private.

## Separate independent mathematical final-file review

A new internal mathematical reviewer read the complete actual saved appendix.md, calculated SHA-256 2cc36587772a48453b6cbd15824bb8010e5e0c378861d83c33729208b767687a, and returned PASS with no required changes. The review checked the clock-domain intersection and full-state distance lemma, running-intersection decomposition and bag/separator bounds, eight-history construction and RPC optima, and the erasure and matched-architecture hypotheses. This disposition is bound to those source bytes. The reviewer did not rerun checkers or inspect the PDF. The earlier hostile review and separate reproduction/layout checks remain valid. Raw review and closure identifier are retained privately. Both proof and hostile gates are now closed for unchanged v0.2 source; neither is external peer review.
