The full qa.sh --strict --matrix run confirms the hold and sizes it. Green: selfcheck ALL GREEN
156,212/156,212 · MATRIX GREEN 10 towns x 7 gates · flags harness (carrying F's beta gate:
distinctness, sourcing, zero 404s, 0 console errors) · consistency · figure-scale.
Red: the manifest validator alone — atlas-QA, 14 identical errors, all 14 mint crates, one
sourcing-blind assertion, one line. The real crate passes.
Recording the ratio because it IS the argument: the beta is finished. What stands between it
and the tag is a rule meeting a case written before the case existed — C's to rule, E's to
land, and not F's to quietly loosen on its own behalf.
