# Phase 1.0DE: independent ABI provenance search

Status: `NO_INDEPENDENT_ABI_OR_FW960_TITLE_SOURCE_FOUND_IN_BOUNDED_SEARCH`

Phase 1.0DE broadened the exact-name search beyond the local SDK and shsrv
trees. It used public source hosts only and cloned one candidate read-only
under the ignored `work/` tree. No PS5 connection or device operation occurred.

The strongest candidate was
[`sonicloader`](https://git.earthonion.com/soniciso/sonicloader). Its initial
import already contains the launch context and function declarations. The
normalized 615-character declaration block is exactly equal to official
shsrv v0.19, and later history describes the `structsize` correction as ported
from a reference snippet. This is lineage reuse, not independent ABI
corroboration. The project also bundles payloads and persistent/autolaunch
features outside Chimera's safety boundary.

Search results mentioning PS5 Upload Suite did not provide a source-bound,
independent context layout. PS4 SystemService material is not PS5 ABI evidence.
No independent `PPSA01659` firmware-9.60 presence or VideoOut-ownership source
was found in the bounded scope. This does not claim global absence.

The source gate therefore remains closed. The next permissible step is an
offline design for a fail-closed, read-only title-presence observer. That design
must not reuse shsrv's general shell, enumerate arbitrary paths, launch a title,
terminate an app or write to the device; it does not itself authorize a live
observation.
