NEOWISE delivery completed; native quality interpretation unresolved
14 October 2026. Explicit human approval resumed exactly the three frozen Gator requests. All three completed: 874 rows (312, 273, 289), with complete raw VO and exact string-valued CSV. Independent transport parsing and the unchanged native Decimal/vector-angle checker passed. New acquisition took 14.61 seconds; together with the original failed TAP request it used 105.80 seconds of the 600-second acquisition allowance. There were exactly three new/four cumulative requests, no literal retries, no images, fitting or additional observations.
The unchanged frozen implementation returns 0/3 supported fixed-best cases, against required 2/3. However, all 874 native ph_qual values contain two characters, whereas both frozen implementations require four. The official NEOWISE supplement describes four band characters and X in the unused third/fourth positions. Native VO metadata uses variable-length character arrays and preserves these two-letter values. The cause of this delivery/documentation discrepancy is unknown. No X padding, flag coercion or corrected scientific rerun was performed.
Consequently 0/3 is a verified computational outcome under the frozen string contract, not a scientifically established absence of usable temporal support. The scientifically validated quality count/gate remains unmeasured. This is an insufficient-evidence outcome. Independent implementations can agree while sharing an incompatible input contract; that agreement alone does not validate its scientific meaning. The mismatch qualifies, rather than overwrites, the original computational files and independent receipt.
| Fixed case | Native rows | Unique literal rows at fixed best | Strict accepted | Supported epochs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HIGALBM330.8814-0.3656 | 312 | 307 | 0 | 0 |
| HIGALBM351.2258+0.6937 | 273 | 75 | 0 | 0 |
| HIGALBM353.4272-0.3734 | 289 | 68 | 0 | 0 |
All six catalogue alternatives remain in the downloadable assessment. The first and third best points also fail the frozen profile-fit criterion in every matched row (307 and 68); the second best fails SNR in 61/75 and fit quality in 24/75. These rejection tallies overlap and are descriptive results of the unchanged rule, not revised quality/cadence verdicts or physical negatives. The separate red third alternative has zero unique literal rows and must not inherit the blue point’s time series. 251 native extraction rows join retained image exposure keys; none for the first case. This does not establish ownership.
The new four-stage packet is about 1.3 MiB. Guarded acquisition peaked at 34.94 MiB sampled worker RSS, with at least 50.65 GiB free. Sub-second peaks can be missed by sampling; this is process-group monitoring, not whole-machine telemetry. No resource stop occurred. Original native images, failed TAP evidence and all historical model/control/gas/radio gates remain intact. No physical membership, youth, population precision/recall, new star or birth is established.
This bounded unit is complete and stops here. A prospective field-contract repair would require a separate explicit amendment, using these now-consumed data and fresh validation controls; it does not follow automatically. The detector goal remains unmet. Publish this qualified result and exact evidence only; maintain separate deployment receipts for the existing app and blog.
