Found while re-verifying section 3 of the 2026-08-09 handover, which claims provenance was closed for these exact versions.

Two false statements, both at the URL a consumer following repository.url lands on:

claim in the README measured 2026-08-09
0.2.00.4.0 "resolve only in a private repository and cannot be fetched from outside the organisation" all five resolve in the public observer-protocol/wdk-op-policy on provenance/pre-monorepo, each reachable from a tag named for its version. Confirmed from a mirror clone with no auth beyond public read
"(archived, read-only)" archived=false

The first one is the interesting one. Making those five publicly resolvable is precisely what the 2026-08-08 provenance pass did and what the handover lists as landed. The sentence is that pass's own description of the state it removed, left in place because the fix felt like the end of the work.

Same shape corrected twice already at op-legacy-deployment. Both retired claims are recorded beside the correction rather than quietly replaced.

Swept the other six READMEs: every remaining (archived, read-only) claim matches the measured archive state of the repo it names.

Docs only. No package, tag or dist-tag touched.

…fix removed

Measured 2026-08-09. Two false statements, both at the URL a consumer checking provenance
lands on, and both created by the work that was supposed to make provenance checkable.

1. "0.2.0, 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.3.2 and 0.4.0 resolve only in a private repository and cannot be
   fetched from outside the organisation." All five resolve in the PUBLIC
   observer-protocol/wdk-op-policy on the unmerged provenance/pre-monorepo branch, and each
   is reachable from a tag named for its version. Confirmed from a mirror clone taken with
   no authentication beyond public read. That is exactly what the 2026-08-08 provenance
   pass accomplished, and this sentence is its own description of the state it removed.

2. "(archived, read-only)". The repository reports archived=false.

The pattern is the one already corrected twice this week at op-legacy-deployment: a true
sentence becomes false because the state it describes was FIXED, and nobody re-reads the
sentence because the fix felt like the end of the work. The block now says every published
version resolves publicly, names which branch each sits on and why the divergent ones are
tagged, and records both retired claims beside the correction.

Swept the other six READMEs for the same shape: every remaining "(archived, read-only)"
claim matches the measured archive state of the repository it names.
