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. 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.
