 ## Verification boundaries
 
 `tests/test_hierarchy_validation.py` covers cycles, typed references, contract drift, and conditional dominance. `tests/test_hierarchy_artifact.py` covers size limits, path-like definition references, format dispatch, and flat hash compatibility. Runtime, budget, data, evidence, architect, GEPA, compiler, metrics, examples, and study test modules cover malformed responses, model drift, split leakage, small-branch review, cancellation, retries, lost attempt receipts, strict replay, and held-out freeze order. `tests/test_hierarchy_security.py` guards the hierarchy modules against dynamic execution and unsafe serialization/process imports. These are software tests; model prompt-injection resistance is not established by them.
 
 The CI matrix runs pytest, Ruff, wheel build, installed-wheel flat and hierarchy no-key demos, and runtime import isolation on Python 3.11–3.13. Its optional job installs the pinned SDK/DSPy/GEPA extras and runs interface tests with fake providers. No CI job uses a live key. The exact results belong to the PR's check runs; a green configuration file alone proves nothing.
 
-Prior flat-study test-input and normalized-text exclusion lists were generated in the original local checkout under ignored `runs/hierarchy-issues-20260930/`; they are not published because hashes of low-entropy text can be sensitive. A new checkout needs independently verified exclusion lists. Live registration checks both lists against every split; a human must still review semantic and near-duplicate independence. `typewright-study manifest` now writes the complete pre-spend live manifest from a registered live protocol, `typewright-study review` binds a human review of the required attestations to that exact digest, and live selection refuses to start unless the reviewed manifest matches the protocol and current software parameters. The software can therefore produce and enforce a complete manifest, but issue #20 still needs the human inputs: a new independently human-reviewed four-split dataset, a completed review with verified price quote and externally enforced billing cap, paid and teacher-sharing approvals, and after live selection the frozen graph digests and semantic review. Paid calls and teacher-example sharing each require separate explicit authorization. Issue #21 and epic #6 remain open until their acceptance criteria are verified. The existing flat benchmark is not the new hierarchy holdout.

Paid calls and teacher-example sharing each require separate explicit authorization. The owner explicitly approved splitting software and live tracking on 2026-10-03. Issues #20/#21 are closed for their delivered software scope; their original reviewed-live-manifest and empirical all-child requirements remain assigned to #74 and epic #6. Both live trackers stay open until their acceptance criteria are verified. This decision supersedes the earlier conflicting close/reopen comments and does not authorize any live execution. The existing flat benchmark is not the new hierarchy holdout.
