SOURCE OF THESE RECORDS
They were recovered from the run's sealed bundle, not from a live
catalog. The imagine sidecar is ephemeral and its chain dies with the
host process; these records no longer exist on any running service.
The seal is the only reason they can be read at all.

ON THE TWO CHECKSUMS
  seal_event_checksum is a field carried INSIDE the bundle. It is the
  seal event's own hash and is NOT the sha256 of the bundle file.
  bundle_file_sha256 is the sha256 of the file bytes. They differ by
  construction, because the file contains the former.

EDITORIAL REVISION, 1 SEPTEMBER 2026
This article was rewritten on 1 September 2026 to remove commentary about
its own production process, which had grown to occupy up to two-thirds of
some pieces. The analytical claims, figures and sources are unchanged; what
was removed was the inline lane tagging, the prediction-and-verdict
narration, and the provenance sections now condensed into a single footer.
The article as originally published is at symbia-stack commit 40a8804.
The version included in this pack is the revision, not the original, and
this note exists because silently rewriting published work is the exact
substitution this process is built to catch.

WHAT THIS PACK DOES NOT ESTABLISH
  - That any source cited in the article is correct. A receipt covers
    provenance, not truth.
  - That the author was sincere at registration. The chain closes the
    retroactive-edit hole, not the dishonest-author hole.
  - That the records were readable by a stranger at the time. Catalog
    records are read-gated, and an unauthenticated GET returns HTTP 200
    with an empty array rather than a 403
    (gap-catalog-unauth-read-returns-200-empty-2026-08-25). This pack
    exists because of that.
