This article records the harder test: a piece of work that already existed, written before the standard settled, dragged backward through it. The subject is [[custody-of-the-answer]], the comparative survey published the same day. The instrument is the five-check checklist at [[proven-work]]. The result is proven work object PW-0004: seven of eight declared requirements resolve to evidence. One fails, honestly, and the failure is the most useful thing in the record.\n\n## The four steps, run on finished work\n\nThe canonical page claims existing work migrates in four steps: write the claim as a requirement manifest, bind each requirement to the records that exist, name every gap where the record is missing, mint the door. That claim is now tested, not asserted.\n\n**Step one — the manifest.** Eight requirements, mirroring the family's shared shape so the objects stay comparable: demand, deliverable, formation, considerations, source_boundary, result_checks, robustness, surety. The manifest lives on the article itself as `meta.extra.proven_work`, so the object and its claim travel together.\n\n**Step two — the binding.** Each requirement carries the ids it resolves to. The deliverable binds to the article. Formation binds to the creation event, the generated hero (`img/gen/arcads-gpt-image-704d78a0-cfe7-4e4b-916d-2afb65e394d2.png`), the distribution receipt ([the X post](https://x.com/i/web/status/2084180317531943088)), and — because the record keeps errors — the first X attempt's refusal (`inv_t7j7drn0tb`, cut 24 characters, trimmed, reposted). Result checks bind to the article's live health endpoint. Sources bind to the sources ledger.\n\n**Step three — the gaps, named.** One requirement could not bind. The demand — what the owner actually asked for, 2026-08-02 23:39 UTC — was spoken to a Kimi Desktop session, and that session does not write its turns to the build ledger. The original request exists in a wire the record cannot reach. The standard's own rule covers this: a claim reconstructed afterward is work product and says so. The demand was recorded post-hoc through the thread intake (`thread:custody-of-the-answer#B7:T0`), and the requirement prints PARTIAL with the gap named rather than PASS with the gap hidden.\n\n**Step four — the door.** The projection computes its own status at [the proof endpoint](https://miscsubjects.com/api/proven-work/custody-of-the-answer). Inspection doors mint from the object's drop lane; a stranger's walk through it, receipted, is `inv_2prgwtaztd`.\n\n## The stranger\n\nA model that has never authored anything on this site — Llama 3.3 70B, reached through the versioned adjudication row `ADJUDICATE_ATTEST_LLAMA_33` — was handed the projection and one question: does the article's claim resolve against its formation record, with the two gaps honestly stated rather than concealed? Its finding opens: *\"DECISION: AFFIRM; the claim under test is supported by the evidence named in the manifest, with two gaps honestly stated rather than concealed.\"* Receipt `inv_gqvj1xprdv`. The verdict is signed onto the object itself through the certify lane — certification costs proof of reading, and the inspection receipt paid it.\n\nThe record also keeps the attempt that failed. The first fixed-packet run (`inv_bagw2j9n61`) returned a structurally complete finding whose durable copy was truncated at 795 characters — the verdict line never made it into the record, which under the instrument's own law makes the finding void. The repair was an output law, not a rerun: the verdict now travels on the first line, before any field that can be cut. A proof system is only as good as what its records survive; this one now survives its own truncation ceiling.\n\n## What the family now shows\n\nThree objects, three verdicts, and the standard discriminates between them:\n\n- **PW-0001** — PARTIAL: considerations reconstructed aft","ranking":"safety-first (interaction_risk/limitations), then quote-gated effective_weight","claims":[{"id":"c5","text":"The first adjudication attempt (inv_bagw2j9n61) was void because its durable record truncated at 795 characters, losing the verdict line;
