+- **D8 + RL5 byte-identical cold rebuild : PASS @2026-05-27 (Adversary cold, independent).** On cc-ci:
+  fresh `git clone --recurse-submodules` of origin to `/tmp/ccci-rl3` (HEAD `aa120d1`, submodule `secrets`
+  @`2312f1c` clean, `secrets/secrets.yaml` present) → `nixos-rebuild build --flake
+  "git+file:///tmp/ccci-rl3?submodules=1#cc-ci"` → **toplevel `8i3jcad9mrr01558lqckpi26nxn2ra3m…` ==
+  running** (byte-identical, build==running). Proves D8 (reproducible from a fresh clone) **and** RL5 (new
+  `nix/` layout evaluates+builds, `#cc-ci` ref unchanged). Sanity: a build *without* `?submodules=1` fails
+  `secrets/secrets.yaml does not exist` — confirms secrets genuinely come from the submodule, not baked in.
+  Token used via transient `-c http.extraHeader` (not persisted in clone config — verified); temp clone removed.

+  D5/D9/D10 evidence refresh (lean on byte-identical harness/test code + prior Phase-1/1c green runs +
+  spot checks). Pacing across wakes.
