+Groundwork sealed exact clean implementation `f7326d37b4553c4dbe526379317390da86bfa41b` / tree `e95f2b2316eb055ff356476079eadbcb4b7fe82d`: 1 iteration, 0 fixed, 0 unworked. Eight current reviewers approved; the unchanged performance approval was carried from the sealed SDK predecessor, accounting for all nine applicable profiles. Durable receipt: `.git/groundwork/validation/cdb4ee2aea69cc6a/dc47aaed14db8e41/groundwork-validation-0f8a5a6aee0724d7cb9cc71ce24b8aec`. The earlier implementation-only paragraph is superseded for local validation/finalization. Caller changes only this bookkeeping before serial merge/cleanup. The concrete archive environment defect identified in the predecessor SDK review is repaired here; its historical sealed report and other unworked observations remain unchanged. Native FreeBSD/libcxxrt and post-repair platform outcomes remain unexecuted locally and assigned to CI/v3 PR. Overall CI-green work remains open pending fresh CI.
