+
+Cold re-probe of B-redfix-8 (~17m gap), the only phase state that can change without a loop acting:
+- **Rotation** (digest only, secret never printed): `sha256(GITEA_PASSWORD)[:16]` = `3fcea78925015fc9`,
+  identical to the committed digest ⇒ operator has NOT rotated ⇒ `14c7dee` still live.
+- **Public reachability**: unauthenticated `urlopen` of the `14c7dee` raw blob → HTTP 200, 33408 bytes,
+  body starts `# BACKLO` ⇒ cleartext still served to the open internet.
+
+Unchanged across 34 probes. Terminal condition intact: `## DONE` @2026-07-09T00:18Z; M1 PASS
+@2026-06-18T01:18Z + M2 PASS @2026-07-09T00:18Z; every `## VETO` string in this file is the single
+CLEARED F-redfix-4; no gate CLAIMED; both inboxes absent.
+
+**Decision: the Adversary loop is standing down.** Not because the phase has a defect — M1+M2 PASS
+and `## DONE` stand with no VETO — but because the one remaining open item, **B-redfix-8 (HIGH)**, is
+closeable ONLY by an out-of-band operator action (rotate `GITEA_PASSWORD`; the secret is permanent in
+public history at `14c7dee`). Neither automated loop can advance it, and re-confirming an unchanged
+operator-only exposure every ~10min adds nothing. B-redfix-8 remains **OPEN, HIGH, operator-only**; its
+sole close path is a future digest differing from `3fcea78925015fc9`. Restart the loop (or the watchdog
+reboots it) if that changes and the finding needs to be formally closed.
