# FI-FILBERT-5 — independent pattern/profile addendum verdict

Reviewer: filbert. Author/follow-up owner: darkwing. Date: 2026-09-06.

## Admission and exact verdict

**APPROVED for the written addendum only.** The proposed separation preserves
strict CLI admission while requiring genuine Node/Python schema agreement. It is
not a whitelist or permission to waive the red differential gate.

No competing current personal owner-authorized assignment appeared. I did not
author/co-author this proposal. This narrow review does not start or replace the
later frozen implementation review.

## Numbered findings and dispositions

1. **Confirmed / no blocking defect — the mismatch premise is reproducible.**
   For the pinned id, runtimeId and digest definitions, Python/jsonschema accepts
   a valid value followed by exactly one final LF, whereas the measured Node
   ECMAScript patterns reject it. Two final LF, CRLF, CR, interior LF, U+2028 and
   U+2029 did not share that acceptance. The proposal correctly requires independent
   outcomes instead of treating every line separator alike. No correction required.

2. **Confirmed / no blocking defect — no weaker admitted identity grammar.**
   Normative points 2–4 require strict whole-string matching for every occurrence
   of the affected types, including unselected records and declared wrapper inputs,
   before indexing or admission. Original strings are preserved; no trimming or
   newline-stripped identity can enter the graph. Thus reproducing the oracle's
   schema-only acceptance does not enlarge the CLI's accepted identifier language:
   the additional profile still rejects the final-LF cases with exit 2,
   invalid-request/profile-pattern-mismatch and safe pre-admission output.
   This fits the charter's existing schema/profile separation. No correction required.

3. **Confirmed / no blocking defect — the proposed gate is not an oracle whitelist.**
   Points 1,5,6 require an actual independent Node shape verdict, zero schema-column
   disagreements, independently asserted profile verdicts and real CLI refusals.
   They prohibit named exceptions, deleted witnesses, copied oracle answers,
   harness-only answer adjustment and test-only rejection wrappers. Green must mean
   schema agreement AND production profile enforcement, not relabelling an ongoing
   discrepancy. No correction required; code review must verify these obligations.

4. **Confirmed / bounded scope — targeted profile, not blanket newline rejection.**
   The proposal leaves legitimate free-form multiline text and existing path/time
   formats separate. I independently confirmed an escaped-newline mission objective
   remains valid under the pinned record schema. This supports the required negative
   control: an implementation that bans every decoded newline would violate this
   addendum. Pinned schemas/checker, dependencies, output fields and allowed source
   paths remain unchanged. No new runtime capability or grant is introduced.

5. **Informational / unverified implementation gate — written approval does not turn the build green.**
   I did not inspect the moving implementation, independently validate the reported
   239-file manifest, identify/re-execute its four particular witnesses, or run its
   differential bridge/CLI. Those remain reported context, not my receipts. The new
   frozen code candidate must preserve those witnesses, pass every mandatory check,
   and receive full independent code review. No correction to the written proposal
   is required; no functional acceptance is issued here.

## Independent measurements in this review cycle

1. `sha256sum` verified the exact addendum and unchanged charter hashes above.
2. Read `records.schema.json` using `git show` at d4696d09 and independently checked
   SHA-256 `05774aaf6943cb69c113e39ff1c29676a2a230ca7bf665c50dbcaa8049672af6`.
3. Inline Python using Python 3.12.8/jsonschema 4.26.0 validated three pinned type
   definitions over eight variants each. An inline Node v26.8.1 subprocess evaluated
   their actual ECMAScript patterns and a strict-end helper on the same original
   values. **All 24 expected matrix rows asserted successfully; exit 0.**

   | Value variant, for each of id/runtimeId/digest | Python schema | Node pattern | Strict-end helper |
   |---|---|---|---|
   | Valid value | true | true | true |
   | One final LF | true | false | false |
   | Two final LF | false | false | false |
   | CRLF | false | false | false |
   | CR | false | false | false |
   | U+2028 | false | false | false |
   | U+2029 | false | false | false |
   | Interior LF | false | false | false |

   The helper is only a regex measurement, not the proposed schema compatibility
   implementation, profile traversal, differential bridge or CLI.
4. A separate in-memory mutation of the committed valid mission fixture inserted
   an escaped newline into its free-form objective. **Pinned record-schema verdict
   true, assertion passed, exit 0.** Custom path/calendar formats were not exercised
   by that unchanged-field shape probe.

No dependency installation, implementation edit, helper implementation file,
staging, commit, push, native/sync/live runtime, credential read or ~/.mosaic work
occurred. Calculations used synthetic strings and committed schemas in memory.
Only this offered verdict path was written in the repository.

## Return boundary

Approval permits treating this exact proposal as the reviewed written addendum,
not treating Rocko's current red build as accepted. Coordinator instruction and
deliberate binding of updated test identities remain necessary before code resumes.
A green frozen implementation, independent CODE review and Jason's demo remain
separate subsequent gates. Follow-up stays with darkwing; no automatic advancement.
