docs(track-a): promote verified UI settings evidence

[blakinio]

Objective

Promote the independently audited and corrected TIBIA-RE-UI-SETTINGS bounded evidence slice from source Draft #544 onto current trusted main without rewriting the researcher branch.

Clean restack

Promotion base: main@34e41a04d62e642ef0ae67c79354f183473270a3
Promotion head: bff3df609175aa14a55967b6aea6817ecdc32848

Verified compare:

ahead_by = 1
behind_by = 0
changed paths = exactly 7

The six workflow/evidence blobs are byte-identical to the coordinator-accepted source #544 blobs; the seventh path is the terminal archive record. No force-push or source-history rewrite was used.

Coordinator audit

Source PR #544 review 4969134238: ACCEPT_WITH_EDITS, open material findings after repair = 0.

UISET-AUD-001 corrected the fullscreen/Alt+Return overclaim. Terminal classification:

fullscreen_persistence_discriminator: INCONCLUSIVE
alt_return_sent: true
non_cache_candidate_file_delta_observed: false
fullscreen_effect_proven: false
fullscreen_persistence_disproven: false

Accepted evidence

Exact public/current Linux package fence:

packed size = 10214529
packed SHA256 = 1fc26d66cef90723d29293f177fcff41c8e937e7aac830f08e82c2f4c69eb354
client size = 52109920

ELF Build ID = d803d9695868713ef6ab0c3cf65f91212c9c6a62

Final source producer generations reproduced:

clientoptions.json literal count = 1 at 0x20d2406
clientoptions executable xrefs = 38
QSettings PLT targets = 4
QSettings direct callsites = 51
UI_SETTINGS_KEY_ADJACENCY_SCAN = PASS
UI_SETTINGS_PROPRIETARY_BINARY_RETAINED = false

Independent coordinator review of primary Remote Desktop Commander evidence confirmed the task-owned isolated Master Volume persistence chain:

options.soundMasterVolume:    100 -> 43 -> restart 43 -> rollback 100 -> restart 100
options.soundMasterVolumeOld: 100 -> 43 -> restart 43 -> rollback 100 -> restart 100

No login or credentials were used; task-owned runtime/root/display cleanup completed.

Coverage boundary

Task-local only under PR #536 status semantics:

H07-H14: NOT_STARTED -> PARTIAL
H11/H14: PARTIAL with causal runtime strengthening from Master Volume

No H07-H14 row is DONE. PR #536 shared matrix/checklist paths are not modified.

Remaining UNKNOWN

Complete H10/H12/H13 setting-specific runtime semantics, complete H11 semantics beyond Master Volume, all persistence sinks/save timing, global-vs-character partition, profile/migration semantics, QSettings/clientoptions relationship, and fullscreen persistence.

Source disposition

Source #544 is intentionally left unmerged for provenance. After this clean promotion merges, #544 must be closed unmerged as superseded. A lifecycle-only follow-up may replace pending promotion placeholders in the archive with terminal PR/merge/check facts.

Terminal coordinator promotion review on clean restack head bff3df609175aa14a55967b6aea6817ecdc32848.

Source independent audit remains review 4969134238 on PR #544 with disposition ACCEPT_WITH_EDITS and UISET-AUD-001 repaired. Open material findings after repair: 0.

Promotion integrity:

• parent/base = current trusted main@34e41a04d62e642ef0ae67c79354f183473270a3;
• compare = ahead_by=1, behind_by=0;
• changed paths = exactly 7;
• six workflow/evidence blobs are the exact coordinator-accepted source blobs from #544;
• seventh path is the bounded terminal archive record;
• no PR #536 shared matrix/checklist path is modified;
• review threads = 0.

Exact promotion-head gates:

• CI 32232600817 = SUCCESS, including CI / Required = SUCCESS;
• Track A UI/settings static model 32232600573 = SUCCESS;
• source/repaired static producer semantics retain one clientoptions.json literal at 0x20d2406, 38 executable xrefs, 4 used QSettings PLT targets, 51 direct callsites, UI_SETTINGS_KEY_ADJACENCY_SCAN=PASS, and no retained proprietary binary.

Accepted task-local coverage remains H07-H14 NOT_STARTED -> PARTIAL, with H11/H14 causally strengthened by independently verified Master Volume persistence. No H07-H14 row is DONE. Fullscreen persistence remains INCONCLUSIVE.

This clean current-main restack is suitable for expected-head squash merge. Source #544 must remain unmerged and be closed as superseded after promotion lands.
