+The source group carries the same four additive C operations through the
+native implementation, C library, C++ runtime, image runner and platform.
+The core consumes the OS composition rather than native process identifiers.
+No runtime generation becomes a dependency version or build-cache identity.

+Emscripten receives dependency metadata alignment; it does not acquire process
+support. The image runner retains its existing generated binding mechanism,
+format, prefetch and cache policies. Its generated table retains all 153 prior
+C names and adds exactly the four declared-unit names, for 157 total. The new
+image consumer calls all four operations through the image convention,
+including the fifth retirement argument and an invalid continuation that
+changes the state output from `empty` to `unknown`.
+
+Source-group controls establish implementation behaviour. They do not establish
+that public versions are installable. Release gates remain full repository CI,
+canonical tag archives, byte-identical CN mirrors, published index entries and
+ordinary GLOBAL/CN consumers. Temporary image source overrides are removed
+before its final exact-head public-dependency CI. Platform and OS qualification
+follow the lower public group; core then updates its OS and default platform
+pins and runs full exact-head CI before independent ecosystem review. Plugins
+PR 52 retains the public 2026.11.5.1 pin until core 2026.11.5.2 is published,
+then runs its actual sidecar integration and final CI.

+## Separate Windows build-program defect
+
+The released 2026.11.5.1 engine can try to install `msvc@system` as an indexed
+`xim` package when a Windows host with the MSVC default executes a `build.mcpp`
+for a bare cross target. The specification's ABI-layout fixture exposed this
+path because its build program only supplied an include directory. Declaring
+that directory through the existing `[build].include_dirs` preserves the real
+32/64-bit target-layout assertions and removes that unnecessary host build.
+It does not fix the engine's MSVC host-toolchain selection. This is a core
+build-program/toolchain issue, separate from unit lifetime and recovery, and
+remains an explicit review limitation of this source group.
