Retrospective IRAC colour evidence

Exact committed bytes from 106e2f842a903469f7529c54272cbf033509ba43. Source creation-time unpublished flags are historical; a separate deployment receipt verifies live publication. No scientific worker, observation acquisition or fit runs in this publication workflow.

Scope: the same three already-consumed best positional counterparts. Their colours do not supply robust necessary red-colour support for the declared Gutermuth et al. (2009) Phase-I component. Two remain below its >0.7 short-wave cut within the frozen quoted-error sensitivity; one is unresolved. All three lack usable native 8-micron photometry, so the full four-band method is not evaluated. None is physically classified or ruled out as a protostar. A point-source colour does not exclude another source inside its clump. Sensitivity is not confidence or calibrated physical probability. Old ranks and all earlier failed gates remain fixed.

• Verified interpretation, frozen diagnostic, literature contract
• Three system/comparator assessment cards with every alternative, case table, all twelve native product records and all missing/available colours
• Summary, independent verification, final checkpoint, typed KG supplement
• Preserved pre-spawn guard stop, resource stop record, unchanged resumption amendment, resume explanation
• Original native response packet and units, old full parent ledger
• Complete exact byte inventory and hashes. It also lists the four source scripts, worker logs and successful resource receipts.

There are six Catalog sources and six Archive aliases, not twelve independent objects. All 19,328 parent identities and 19,066 unknown qualifying proxy states remain in the earlier ledger. The historical system ranks clump chemistry proxies, not a nearby infrared point source’s evolutionary stage. Independent software reconstruction is not physical validation or human adjudication.

Retained secondary red neighbour

Five additive exports bind 2d098311d6cb089455bc83bbad895fab635c8d8e: source-bound note, exact secondary record and geometry, typed qualification, and the two generation scripts listed in the inventory. The first 23 source exports remain unchanged.

SSTGLMC G353.4284-00.3731 has central colours 1.000/0.790 and four-band photometric availability but matches 0/6 supported visits. Its second colour’s 3x quoted-error sensitivity spans 0.529–1.051: no robust necessary-colour support or full classification. It is a previously catalogued inspection alternative, not the temporal emitter, independent youth truth or a discovery. The three fixed primary counterparts, old models and all counts stay unchanged.

Resource-observation scope: the earlier PID became absent and memory pressure normalized; Starbirth did not cancel it. The other project’s exit status, natural termination or successful build result was not inspected. Historical source wording about the build finishing is a creation-time operational interpretation, not proof of that project’s success.
