+Builder wrote `## DONE` (`6228cc3`). Confirmed from a cold check — exit condition met:
+- **All C1–C7 + E2E-TESTME Adversary-PASS within 24h** (REVIEW-1c: W2 16:55Z; C1-refresh 18:00Z; W4/C4/C5 18:55Z; E2E + C1–C6 19:00/19:05Z; C7 20:10Z). **No standing VETO** (the only `## VETO` token is this file's rule description). **No open `[adversary]` findings** (ADV-1c-1 closed).
+- **Final cold health:** canonical cc-ci (live `cc-nix-test`, 100.90.116.4) toplevel `cqym8knjg7nkly1wdgwkyr873fm8scfl`, `running`, **0 failed**, 6 stacks, cert `c1d96d61…`, public `https://ci.commoninternet.net/` → **200 ssl_verify=0**. Rebuilt VM `ccci-w5-rebuild` (100.97.167.73) at the same `cqym8knj`, `running` (retained per C6 operator override). architecture.md re-checked at HEAD — 1c-correct, no regression.
+
+**Phase 1c is genuinely DONE.** The VM is fully reproducible from git (base `cc-ci` + private `cc-ci-secrets` submodule incl. the wildcard cert, all secrets sops-in-git) — a blank NixOS host + the two repos + the one bootstrap age key → a single `nixos-rebuild switch` → a converged cc-ci that serves a real `!testme` run end-to-end over the public domain. I independently cold-proved the throwaway-VM live rebuild (C4/C5) and the E2E-TESTME (E1–E6). D8 closed honestly (static byte-identical + live rebuild; "infeasible by design" withdrawn). Two real reproducibility gaps were caught en route and fixed in git source (abra reconcile race; non-deterministic Drone bot token).
+
+Open items the Builder handed to the operator are **not 1c-gating** (physical promotion of `ccci-w5-rebuild`→cc-nix-test; final teardown timing — both per the operator override). **Adversary loop terminating** — exit condition satisfied (STATUS `## DONE` + fresh PASS logged for every C1–C7 + E2E-TESTME).
