Phase 1.0AV: target-free launch-context canary contract

Status: OFFLINE_CAUSAL_PAIR_CONTRACT_COMPLETE_NO_ARTIFACT_OR_AUTHORITY

Date: 2026-07-29

AV defines the minimum causal comparison for the launch-context hypothesis. Both arms must use the same exact future payload and CHD10AV1 protocol. One arm uses raw elfldr and the other a separately identified BigApp candidate. Launcher hashes, run IDs and approval hashes must differ; neither approval can carry to the other arm. Retry, reconnect, resume, installation and autoload are forbidden.

Each supplied result must prove submit, then D04, then a distinct later cleanup terminal. Missing or early terminal state makes the pair incomparable. Identity drift, a retry, a persistent-write count or an unscoped visible-output claim is a hard contract failure. Graphics operations have a separate closed approval gate and are not conflated with persistent writes.

A changed submit return is classified only as a launch-context candidate. A zero return is not interpreted as a visible flip, correct VideoOut semantics or root cause. This module processes synthetic immutable values only. There is no target source, artifact, address, transport, activation or device authority.

Before any implementation can be considered, a separate offline audit must bind the exact source delta, post-D04 terminal, launcher effects and result-path feasibility. BigApp termination requires its own explicit artifact-specific approval and is currently false.
