 1. Obtain explicit live-upload authority naming the repo/release/candidate. Record a non-secret authority reference. Fetch the reviewed warehouse PR, confirm the exact full commit SHA, clean worktree, and exact `origin`.
 2. Confirm GitHub host/account/effective write permission and exact repo/release numeric+node identities. Authentication reports are suppressed to avoid credential metadata.
-3. Independently verify the allowlisted immutable forge repository/workflow/ref/full SHA, candidate release/tag/ID/node ID/immutable state, canonical envelope, source manifest, checksums, staging asset-list digest, raw attestation bundle, and every inert asset size/digest. The preflight command itself freshly queries `github.com`, downloads the staging artifact and every candidate-release asset, compares those bytes with the local candidate, and reruns the raw protocol/attestation verifier; it never trusts an operator-supplied verification record. The warehouse consumes the exact audited promotion implementation pinned by [`protocol/forge-promotion-envelope-v1.json`](protocol/forge-promotion-envelope-v1.json) and separately requires the candidate issuer to contain or descend from the independently audited component-policy remediation pinned by [`protocol/forge-component-policy-v1.json`](protocol/forge-component-policy-v1.json). The exact remediated component/build schemas and validator blobs must also match that second pin. The warehouse does not redefine forge canonicalization, and a pre-remediation, unrelated, dirty, or regressed issuer is rejected.

The warehouse consumes the exact audited promotion implementation pinned by [`protocol/forge-promotion-envelope-v1.json`](protocol/forge-promotion-envelope-v1.json) and separately requires the live candidate issuer to descend from both the independently audited component-policy remediation and the Phase-6 policy revision pinned by [`protocol/forge-component-policy-v1.json`](protocol/forge-component-policy-v1.json). The exact current component/build schemas and validator blobs must match that second pin. Its older audited fixture blobs remain in an explicit `testFixture` lane used only with the noncryptographic test marker; they cannot authorize a live candidate. The warehouse does not redefine forge canonicalization, and a pre-revision, unrelated, dirty, or regressed live issuer is rejected.
 4. Capture the complete FR-039 snapshot through all pages. It binds repository/release/body identities plus every legacy asset ID/node ID/name/state/size/API and independent download digest/API URL/download URL/content type/timestamps. A partial name-only inventory is invalid.
 5. Run complete-set zero-write preflight. It reports every absent, identical no-op, and conflicting candidate name. Any conflict creates no release write, journal, catalog state, or stable index change.
 6. Bind explicit authority, exact proposal, canonical candidate/envelope/list, complete snapshot hash, and intended warning-body digest into a mode-`0600` receipt. Type the exact receipt-hash confirmation.
