One of the six send attempts refused. Nine record numbers and five letter ordinals were contiguous. | +| Cleanup | Both clients and the private server exited 0 without forced shutdown. Native endpoints closed and the private authentication alias was removed. | + +An independent audit checked 69 assertions against raw events, ledger records +and candidate files. Claude's event stream did not expose its inbound envelope +text. Its exact-body stdout receipt markers followed by completed peer-origin +turns corroborated receipt. Those markers were harness instrumentation, not +Postbag replies. +The new guidance was checked as received text in Codex, not as an enforced +authorization boundary or a test of model resistance to contrary instructions. +The final-letter window describes this run, not general loop prevention or +an isolated test of the footer. Leave did not test recall of queued letters. + +The command sandbox reported read-only access, disabled network access and +`approvalPolicy: never`. Claude was launched with `--permission-mode manual` +and reported `permissionMode: default`. Preauthorized fixture tools required +no human prompt. `crossSessionInbound` was unset with empty Claude setting +sources. Native own-child classification was unobserved. No personal +configuration or installation changed. Claude used its existing login and +could write its usual caches or telemetry. + +The prior 2.2.2 harness was recovered from its recorded source with an exact +SHA256 match. The adaptation selected 2.3.0 and added the guidance and receipt +checks above. Existing native delivery, final-window, leave, rejoin and +cleanup checks were retained. + +Candidate provenance: + +```text +wheel d5067840bb710b9fccaa323790dda8de99f18589f613baf70f47c2f1fd1d621c +postbag.py 2f5cbf04d0b6e05a308466c8e45857482050406f05257400931347d285152f5c +postbag_mcp.py f35766d4053051203048f301bee2bc7f2b76fd1864c940f1add09c3390133f25 +harness 91d9d9b6ccd03ac65b315d31972d8cedb65bef9e6c712350ed9eb240081ee25d +``` + ## 2 October 2026: installed 2.2.2 release candidate An independently built wheel from a clean archive of
